But as far as succession goes, the X8 Pro is a direct sequel to the Poco X7 Pro alright and its Iron Man Edition lives on as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Poco X8 Pro improves on the X7 Pro with more powerful hardware, a larger battery, and a more compact yet brighter display. The Iron Man Edition gets a black overhaul together with a redesigned retail box and case.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/reviews\/26\/poco-x8-pro\/lifestyle\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_009.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" alt=\"Poco X8 Pro review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Poco X8 Pro is, in fact, the global version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/xiaomi_redmi_turbo_5_5g-14454.php\">Redmi Turbo 5<\/a>, which is a China-only device.<\/p>\n<p>I features a 6.59-inch AMOLED with 12-bit color depth, 1268p resolution, 120Hz, and Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support.

There is a 50MP OIS primary, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 20MP Quad-Bayer selfie camera.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/reviews\/26\/poco-x8-pro\/lifestyle\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_008.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Poco X8 Pro review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Poco X8 Pro is powered by a 6,500mAh battery capable of 100W wired and 27W reverse wired charging.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-blurb-title blurb-title-findings\">Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro specs at a glance:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"article-blurb article-blurb-findings\">&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Body:<\/b> 157.5&#215;75.2&#215;8.2mm, 204g; Glass front, aluminum frame; IP68 dust tight and water resistant (immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Display:<\/b> 6.59&#8243; AMOLED, 68B colors, 120Hz, 3840Hz PWM, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR Vivid, 3500 nits (peak), 1268x2756px resolution, 19.56:9 aspect ratio, 460ppi.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Chipset:<\/b> Mediatek Dimensity 8500 Ultra (4 nm): Octa-core (1&#215;3.4 GHz Cortex-A725 &amp; 3&#215;3.2 GHz Cortex-A725 &amp; 4&#215;2.2 GHz Cortex-A725); Mali-G720 MC8.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Memory:<\/b> 256GB 8GB RAM, 512GB 8GB RAM, 512GB 12GB RAM; LPDDR5X UFS 4.1.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>OS\/Software:<\/b> Android 16, HyperOS 3.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Rear camera:<\/b> <u>Wide (main)<\/u>: 50 MP, f\/1.5, 26mm, 1\/1.95&#8243;, 0.8\u00b5m, PDAF, OIS; <u>Ultra wide angle<\/u>: 50 MP, f\/1.5, 26mm, 1\/1.95&#8243;, 0.8\u00b5m, PDAF, OIS.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Front camera:<\/b> 20 MP, f\/2.2, (wide), 1\/4&#8243;.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Video capture:<\/b> <u>Rear camera<\/u>: 4K@30\/60fps, 1080p@30\/60\/120\/240\/960fps, gyro-EIS, HDR10+; <u>Front camera<\/u>: 1080p@30\/60fps.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Battery:<\/b> 7560mAh; 100W wired, 100W PPS, PD3.0, 27W reverse wired.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Connectivity:<\/b> 5G; Wi-Fi 6; BT 5.4,  aptX HD,  LHDC 5,  Auracast,  ASHA,  MIHC; NFC; Infrared port.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Misc:<\/b> Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have never been fans of Xiaomi&#8217;s 20MP selfie cameras so we are certainly not fans of seeing this camera here yet again. <\/p>\n<h3>Unboxing the Poco X8 Pro<\/h3>\n<p>The Poco X8 Pro ships with a cable and a case if you opt for the regular edition.
