    I believe my old Poco X5 Pro 5G came with one in the box, only ever used it to try it, and used my wireless buds anyway.

        It's not plastic, it's fibre glass.

          Can someone clarify about the Android Update? As per GSM ARena review, the X8 Pro has more major OS upgrade than X8 Pro Max. I am confused.

          The Poco X8 Pro boots Android 16 OS with the latest HyperOS 3 from Xiaomi. The company is now promising longer software support with the 17 series - 5 major OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches, up from 3 and 4.

          The Poco X8 Pro Max runs on Xiaomi's latest HyperOS 3 platform (3.0.1.0 to be exact, as of writing this review), built on top of the latest Android 16. The phone comes with the promise of four major OS updates and six years of security patches.

            Back is definitely not glass. Its some kind of plastic. Taping on it or holding it def does not feel like glass. There is tear down video on YT and its clearly flexing like plastic. To be honest its bettet this way as it will not crack easily and its super pleasent to touch and not as slippery as glass.

                Lulu T. Ang, 02 Apr 2026The phone runs smoothly and can handle demanding games.A bit more details would be welcome. Is this your personal experience with the phone?

                If not, then thank you Captain Obvious.
                If you wouldn't inform, how will we know that a flagship killer has good performance?

                    Nikojas , 30 Mar 2026I can get this for 330euros 12/256. Is this the best phone at that price? Literally nothing else is even remotely that good at that price. Only a few phones even have glass and aliminuon buod for that price and even then their chipset is max half as strong, battery much less, slower charging, less ram, shitter screen and speakers and connectivity

                          I bought this Phone at Release in Germany. I payed with Cashbacks round about 400€. For me its a very nice Smartphone. Its fast, big Storage, big and very nice Display and the Highlight for me is the Battery. I reached Runtimes about 50-60 Hours.

                          The Speakers are very good for the Price of this Smartphone. One more nice Highlight are LED Rings around the Camera Optics. Its for Notifications and i missed this in the last Years by the most Smarpthone Companys.

                          The Camera is not High-End but more than enough for normal Users.

                          You get a very nice Smarpthone for a Budget Price.

                                This one has a good main camera but that's where the camera conversation ends.
