Poco's X8 Pro was an interesting product at launch when it was announced on 17 March. It offered gaming-grade hardware at a competitive mid-range price of Rs. 32,999.

The smartphone's price (thanks to rising memory prices) was revised once more to Rs. 34,999, and just a few days ago, it has now settled at Rs. 36,999. In the meantime, Xiaomi, on June 16, strategically decided to debut its Turbo series in India, with the launch of its Turbo 5.
