Poco X8 Pro 5G

The Poco X8 Pro’s IP69K-rated design uses a mix of glass and metal and feels premium. Its flat display gets sufficiently bright outdoors and supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision standards.

The phone performs well given the vapour chamber cooling system, which keeps the phone running smoothly when stressed. Its software experience feels smooth and fluid but it does come loaded with plenty of bloatware.

The primary camera performs well both in daylight and low-light shooting conditions. The ultrawide camera captures softer images that aren’t that useful. The selfie camera is a weak spot and produces soft images that are low on detail.

Battery life is good but it will only last you a day under with heavy gaming use. Casual users will see better results. Charging speeds are quite fast given the high-capacity battery.
