After several leaks and rumours, Xiaomi's mystery device, previously spotted on various certification websites, finally has a name. According to a new listing on yet another certification website, the device will be called the Poco X8s. The Poco X8s is expected to be a mid-range device even though we know very little about its hardware. Poco recently launched the Poco X8 and Poco X8 Power in India, with prices starting at Rs. 29,999.
According to GizmoChina, the Poco X8s has been approved by Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). The device showed up on the website with the model number 2609CPC5FG.
Apart from stating the phone's parent company and moniker, no other details about this upcoming device have been revealed. The parent company is Xiaomi Technology (Thailand) Co. Ltd., and the device's named ‘Poco X8s'.
The device, as per the source, was previously mentioned on other certification websites like Europe's EEC, IECEE, and Singapore's IMDA. The source also claims that the Poco X8s may not be launched in India.
A Geekbench listing previously claimed that the Poco X8s could be launched with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. It may have 12GB of RAM and run Android 16. Given the state of smartphones during the memory crisis, the device could launch as a mid-range smartphone.
