Poco X8 Power and X8 India launch confirmed, design teased

Siddharth, 28 August 2026

Late last week, a tipster revealed the complete specifications and design of the Poco X8 and Poco X8 Power. Now, Poco has officially confirmed that both phones are coming to India.

In an official X post, Poco has confirmed that the Poco X8 and X8 Power will launch in India on September 4.

The Poco X8 Power is confirmed to house a massive 10,000mAh battery and will feature a faux-leather rear panel. Meanwhile, the Poco X8 will pack a 9,000mAh battery.

Poco has not revealed any other details about the upcoming phones, but recent leaks suggest that the X8 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro, while the X8 Power will be a rebadged Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.

However, both models are expected to feature some minor changes compared to their Redmi counterparts.

The X8 is likely to offer a 6.83-inch display, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, and a 50MP main rear camera.

On the other hand, the Poco X8 Power is rumored to also come with a 6.83-inch display, but with a more powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset.

We expect Poco to share more details about the phones in the coming days.

A bigger battery is at least useful for the average user. Who cares about gen 4 or gen 5 chipset? Making phones faster and faster is completely pointless for most people at this point.

Lmao. Makers are now resorting to battery capacities to overshadow the chipsets. I hate this timeline so much.

Mostly both phones will have that variant.
