Images shared by the tipster show a phone with an Iron Man insignia on the rear panel along with a Stark Industries logo. The device appears in a black finish, with POCO branding placed near the top-right of the back panel. The leak also suggests that the special edition may come in a themed retail box and could include a customised case.

For now, POCO has only teased the idea of an Iron Man-themed device and has not officially confirmed which model will receive the treatment.

Separately, tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) has shared expected pricing for the upcoming series. According to the tip, the POCO X8 Pro 5G could launch in India with a starting price of around Rs 35,000. The higher-end POCO X8 Pro Max 5G is said to start near Rs 42,000.

If these numbers turn out to be accurate, the new series would arrive at a higher price than the previous generation. For reference, the POCO X7 Pro launched in India last year with a starting price of Rs 27,999 for the base 8GB + 256GB variant.
