Poco X8 Pro will launch
Poco X8 Pro Overview
Display and Design
Based on these leaks, the Poco X8 Pro is expected to follow the same design direction as the rumoured Redmi Turbo 5. That device is said to feature a 6.67-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K LTPS resolution, which is higher than the typical FHD+ on Poco’s current X-series phones. If the rebranding rumours are true, this means the X8 Pro could see a noticeable jump in sharpness compared to the earlier Poco X6 Pro. The Turbo 5 is said to use a metal middle frame, so the Poco variant may carry the same premium build. So, expect some more sturdiness this time.
Performance and Software
The SGS certification confirms the model number 2511FPC34G. The rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 (model 2511FRT34C in China) is rumoured to use the new MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra chipset. If Poco adopts this chip, the X8 Pro should offer a performance uplift over the Dimensity 8300-Ultra found in earlier models. Since this is still a rumoured device, no software version is officially listed, but it will likely launch with the latest HyperOS build.
Camera Setup
No camera specs have appeared in certifications yet. However, if the Poco X8 Pro truly mirrors the Redmi Turbo 5, Poco may include a higher-end main sensor compared to typical mid-range setups. The Turbo series in previous generations has always particularly focused on performance rather than camera aspects, so in my view, the X8 Pro’s camera system will also likely remain a practical but a decent one.
