Pros

  • Exceptional battery life and fast charging: Equipped with a 7560mAh large-capacity battery, it supports all-day heavy use, and 100W wired fast charging allows full charging in less than 30 minutes. It also has 27W wired reverse charging, which can act as a power bank for other devices.
  • Powerful performance: Adopts the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, and is equipped with the “Rampage Engine” and 3D ice-sealed circulating cold pump cooling system, ensuring smooth operation of large games and multitasking.
  • High-quality display: Features a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 2560Hz instantaneous sampling rate, Dolby Vision, 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming + DC dimming, and a peak brightness of 3500 nits, providing clear and comfortable viewing effects.
  • Durable build: Uses a metal frame and glass back, with IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance ratings, making it more resistant to daily wear and tear and harsh environments.
  • Rich features: Supports 5G, NFC, infrared sensor, stereo speakers, etc., and runs Android 16 with Xiaomi HyperOS 3, offering a smooth and customizable user experience.

Cons

  • Relatively heavy: Weighs 204g, which may feel a bit heavy when held for a long time.
  • Average camera performance: Although it has a 50MP main camera with OIS, the overall camera performance is only average in its class, especially in low-light conditions, and the ultra-wide-angle and front cameras have limited performance.
  • No expandable storage: The internal storage cannot be expanded with a memory card, which may be inconvenient for users who need to store a large amount of data.
  • Possible differences in global versions: The global version (to be launched as Poco X8 Pro) may have a smaller battery capacity due to different safety certifications and shipping logistics.
