The global launch of the POCO M8s 5G is underway. This mid-range 5G device from Xiaomi’s sub-brand, as always, offers great value for money.
It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor, which scores 480,000 points on Antutu V10—more than enough for the average user. The POCO M8s 5G features an IP64-rated body, a large 7,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, and a display with high resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate—very high for the price it will command.
Finally, its operating system is Android 15 with the Xiaomi HyperOS 2.2 skin, which guarantees updates for a long time to come.
