In a post on X, the Xiaomi sub-brand has revealed that its upcoming Poco X series phones will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra and the Dimensity 9500s chipsets. While the company has yet to confirm the monikers, the tech firm is expected (via Gizmochina) to equip the purported Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max with the two SoCs, respectively. The recently released Dimensity 9500s chip is positioned below the chipmaker's flagship Dimensity 9500 SoC, which was unveiled last year.

Separately, a Xiaomi smartphone, with the Xiaomi 2602BPC18G model number, has been listed on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Tech blogger Anvin writes for Xpertpick that the listing belongs to the upcoming Poco X8 Pro Max. The handset was spotted on the website with Android 16 and 11GB memory size, which could be marketed as 12GB of RAM.

The Poco X8 Pro Max is also listed with an octa core ARMv8 chipset, which is claimed to be the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s SoC, which was released earlier this year, in January. The chip is shown to feature a prime core clocked at 3.73GHz, three performance cores clocked at 3.30GHz, and four efficiency cores, delivering a peak clock speed of 2.40GHz. The handset managed to score 2,659 points in single core performance and 8,386 points in the multi core test.

Recently, a report highlighted that the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max will be launched in India in the middle of March. The Poco X8 Pro Max is said to have scored 36,12,095 points on the AnTuTu benchmarking platform. It is expected to sport a 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display. It might carry a 50-megapixel Light Hunter 600 primary rear camera, paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera.
