POCO has officially launched the POCO X8 Pro, not just globally, but also in the Philippines.
Launched alongside the POCO X8 Pro Max, the POCO X8 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. It apparently received an AnTuTu Benchmark score of 2,283,558. It comes with POCO’s LiquidCool Technology to keep thermals in check.
Like the Pro Max variant, the X8 Pro supports 100W HyperCharge wired and 27W reverse wired charging. The battery is smaller, but still relatively generous at 6,500mAh.
It also has a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, with a 120Hz refresh rate, 3500-nit peak brightness, and support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Stereo speakers are also here.
For durability, it has Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and has received an IP66/68/69/69K dust and water resistance rating.
It then has a 50-megapixel IMX882 main camera on the back, a 20-megapixel camera for selfies, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. There are dynamic RGB lights in the bezels of the cameras for notifications, charging, and more.
The POCO X8 Pro 8GB/256GB has an SRP of Php18,999, 8GB/512GB for Php19,999, and 12GB/512GB for Php21,999. From March 17 to 26, you can get them for only Php15,499, Php16,599, and Php17,499, respectively, on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
