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. But as per the current trend with smartphone manufacturers. This was just the introductory price. 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. The Turbo 5 appears identical to the Poco X8 Pro launched a few months ago, but comes with one notable difference: its battery capacity. With the Poco X8 Pro stuck with a slightly lower-capacity battery, should you even bother getting one? Turns out you might! Read on to find out why.
Poco X8 Pro 5G Summary
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.
