POCO has officially released the POCO X8s alongside the POCO X8 in the Philippines. It introduces a balanced combination of compact ergonomics, flagship-grade imaging, and extended battery endurance.
Compact Ergonomics and 6.35-inch 1.5K AMOLED Display
The POCO X8s measures 8.06mm in thickness and weighs 187g, crafted with a micro-curved aluminum frame and a premium glass back panel.
It comes in Blue, White, and Black colorways, with the Black option showcasing a black-and-silver dual-tone finish.
On the front, the phone features a compact 6.35-inch 1.5K AMOLED display utilizing an advanced M10 panel with ultra-thin 1.18mm bezels.
The screen achieves up to 3,500 nits of multi-scenario peak brightness and is POCO’s first handset to support a 1 to 120Hz Adaptive refresh rate Pro for smooth navigation and optimized power efficiency.
It carries triple TUV Rheinland eye-care certifications and houses an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor that supports wet-touch operation and press-and-slide enrollment.
50MP Light Fusion 800 Triple Camera System with Telephoto
Imaging on the POCO X8s is led by a 50MP Light Fusion 800 primary camera equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS) for sharp and stable captures.
The camera array also includes a dedicated 50MP 2.5x optical telephoto camera for detailed portraits and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor for expansive landscape shots.
For creative content creators, the system supports Live Moment recording up to 1080p to preserve dynamic memories with fluid motion.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Performance and 100W HyperCharge
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform, engineered for smooth multitasking and efficient everyday processing.
Thermal management is handled by the POCO 3D IceLoop cooling system, which prevents throttling and maintains consistent frame rates during heavy gaming.
Despite its compact profile, the handset packs a high-density 6,330mAh battery featuring 16% silicon content for extended runtime.
Charging is rapid thanks to 100W wired HyperCharge technology, supplemented by 22.5W wired reverse charging to power other accessories on the go.
The device also carries an IP68 dust and water resistance rating alongside dual stereo speakers for full, immersive audio playback.
POCO X8 The Power Master with 8340mAh Battery
Launching alongside the compact flagship is the standard POCO X8, appropriately named The Power Master for battery-first power users.
The POCO X8 comes with a massive 8,340mAh battery built for multi-day endurance without frequent trips to the power outlet.
The smartphone comes styled with a two-tone rear pattern in Black, Orange, and White colorways.
