Poco and Redmi are two sub-brands from Xiaomi that cater to the non-premium segment, offering value-for-money handsets with a good amount of features at an affordable price point. The newest addition to aid in the company's ambitions is the new Poco M8 5G.

Poco M8 5G Summary

At a price tag of Rs. 18,999, the Poco M8 5G is a well-rounded smartphone that's more about delivering on the basics than on fancy features. It brings quite an upgrade in terms of design, a large and colourful AMOLED display, decent performance, and lasting battery life. The promise of long-term software support further adds to its appeal. The cameras, however, are anything but impressive, and the UI is burdened with bloat. But once again, these are expected compromises at this price.
