POCO X8 Pro Specifications, Features (Expected)

Leaks suggest that the POCO X8 Pro could launch as a rebadged version of the Redmi Turbo 5, which is expected to debut in China. If this turns out to be the case, the phone is likely to be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 processor.

The handset is tipped to come with a 6.67-inch AMOLED LTPS display, offering a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. It could also come with a metal frame and carry an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The POCO X8 Pro is also tipped to come with a large 8,000mAh battery along with 100W fast charging support. If the leak is accurate, this would be an upgrade over the current POCO X-series phones.

For photos, the smartphone is expected to feature a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor is also said to be in the works.

POCO X8 Pro Price in India (Expected)

As for pricing, the POCO X8 Pro is tipped to cost more than Rs 30,000 in India. For comparison, the POCO X7 Pro 5G launched earlier this year at Rs 27,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant.
