POCO just added two new phones to its Philippine lineup. The POCO X8s is the latest addition to the POCO X Pro Series, and the POCO X8 joins it. Specifically, POCO designs the X8s as a compact all-rounder. It combines a flagship display, versatile cameras, a large battery, and responsive performance. Both phones go on First Day Sale from November 6 to 15, with prices starting at PHP 21,999.
Effortlessly Light, Brilliantly Vivid
First and foremost, the X8s measures just 8.06mm thick and weighs 187g. As a result, it stays easy to hold and carry. Additionally, a micro-curved aluminum frame and glass back give it a smooth, comfortable feel. The camera module matches the body color for a clean, unified look.
The X8s comes in blue, white, and black. Notably, the black version features a black-and-silver design. POCO measured the size and weight in its internal labs, so actual results may vary.
A 6.35-Inch 1.5K AMOLED Display Built for Sunlight
Framed by ultra-thin 1.18mm bezels, the 6.35-inch 1.5K AMOLED display uses an M10 display panel. Specifically, it reaches up to 3,500 nits of multi-scenario peak brightness. Consequently, content stays clear in direct sunlight.
Furthermore, POCO’s first 1–120Hz Adaptive refresh rate Pro balances smooth visuals with lower power use. As a result, battery life lasts longer. Additionally, triple TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications support comfortable viewing during long sessions.
An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor handles unlocking. It supports wet-touch and press-and-slide enrollment for fast, dependable access.
Triple Camera Versatility, Brought Closer
The X8s carries a triple camera system built to cover every distance. It handles sweeping landscapes and striking portraits alike. Specifically, the main camera uses a 50MP Light Fusion 800 sensor with OIS. As a result, shots stay clear, detailed, and stable.
Additionally, a 50MP 2.5x telephoto camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera complete the setup. Furthermore, Live Moment supports up to 1080p. This preserves motion with greater clarity and detail.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and a 6,330mAh Battery
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform drives app launches, multitasking, and entertainment. Meanwhile, the POCO 3D IceLoop system keeps thermals in check during intensive tasks. This helps the phone sustain performance over time.
Inside the compact body sits a 6,330mAh (typ) battery with 16% silicon content. Moreover, 100W HyperCharge delivers fast charging. Additionally, the phone supports 22.5W wired reverse charging with compatible devices. Actual charging power varies with the environment. The adapter in the box depends on the local seller.
For peace of mind, the X8s carries an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. POCO tested it in lab conditions, so it advises against beach or pool use. Finally, dual speakers add fuller, more immersive audio.
POCO X8: The Power Master
Meanwhile, the POCO X8 joins the lineup. POCO calls it “The Power Master.” It carries an 8,340mAh battery, based on the typical value. The X8 comes in black, orange, and white.
