POCO is preparing to launch its next powerful mid-range smartphone, the POCO X8 Pro. On December 8, the Indian variant of the device, model number 2511FPC34I, was recently spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification website. Let us tell you that BIS listing is generally considered the final step before the official launch of any device in India, which clearly indicates that the phone is about to enter the Indian market soon. Along with this, considering the global and India launch timeline, it is estimated that the POCO X8 Pro may be introduced next month.
What Could Be the Possible Specifications of the POCO X8 Pro?
POCO X8 Pro is going to be a performance-focused smartphone, and it may come with the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 mid-high range chipset, which offers improved efficiency in gaming and multitasking. The phone is expected to feature a 6.6-inch flat AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz LTPS refresh rate, and high brightness support.
In the battery department, this series may bring a major upgrade. Reports suggest that the device may come with a battery capacity of over 8000mAh, although the capacity may be slightly lower in some regions. Along with that, it is likely to feature 100W fast charging support, which could place it among the fastest-charging smartphones in its segment.
Speaking of the camera setup, the POCO X8 Pro is expected to feature a dual-camera system — main + ultrawide. Although sensor details have not yet surfaced, the company typically uses Sony/OIS-supported sensors in its X-series devices. The phone’s design is also expected to be premium, as it may come with a metal frame.
Price and Launch Timeline in India
Since the phone has already passed BIS certification, the launch timeline is not too far away. It is estimated that POCO may introduce it next month in both India and global markets. As for pricing, the POCO X8 Pro will aggressively target the mid-range segment, where the company already has a strong presence due to the X6 and X7 series.
Overall…
The POCO X8 Pro once again appears to extend the brand’s “performance-first” strategy. The Dimensity 8500 chipset, 1.5K AMOLED display, 100W charging, and massive battery could make it a strong contender in its segment. After the BIS listing, it is expected that POCO may officially announce the launch date and features of this device in the coming weeks.
