The Poco X8s is gearing up for its India launch, promising a massive 7900 mAh battery and a 50MP OIS camera at an expected price of ₹23,999. This device looks to challenge the likes of Realme and Redmi in the sub-₹25,000 segment, especially for users prioritizing endurance and photography.
On paper, the Poco X8s seems to focus on raw power and battery life. The large 7900 mAh cell should easily last two days for moderate users, and the 45W fast charging means less downtime. The 50MP main camera with OIS is a significant plus for this price point, promising better low-light shots and stable video. Performance should be adequate for daily tasks and casual gaming thanks to the Octa Core processor and 4GB RAM, expandable virtually. We'll be testing its real-world performance on Jio and Airtel 5G networks soon.
