Poco has confirmed the India launch of the X8 and X8 Power for September 4, following a major specs leak. The brand previously revealed the X8 Power will feature a massive 10,000 mAh battery, while the standard X8 packs a 9,000 mAh cell. New rumors now indicate pricing: the Poco X8 is expected between INR 28,000 to INR 30,000 ($292–$313), while the X8 Power may retail around INR 35,000 ($365).

Rumor suggests the X8 is a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro and the X8 Power a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, with minor differences. Leaked specs show the X8 sports a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 3,500-nit peak brightness, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, 50MP main camera with OIS, 16MP selfie camera, and 67W charging.

The X8 Power upgrades include an 8MP ultrawide lens, 32MP selfie shooter, Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 SoC, and 100W wired charging, otherwise matching the X8.
