The upcoming best-selling POCO X8 Pro and POCO X8 Pro Max are now available. As always, these devices offer excellent value for money.
These two phones feature a fairly classic design and slightly different configurations. The POCO X8 Pro Max is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500s SoC, which promises excellent performance. Thanks to its 3nm manufacturing process and 8,500 mAh battery, we’ll get hours and hours of use. Plus, it features a great 6.83-inch 12-bit AMOLED display and IP69K protection, so we don’t have to worry about bumps or accidental spills.
The POCO X8 Pro version also has some interesting specs, but it’s significantly more modest. If we compare the price difference, we might be more interested in the Max version if we need extra power.
