Poco X8 Pro Max in for review

Xiaomi will unveil its Poco X8 series on March 17, but we’ve got an early, quick first look and unboxing with the Poco X8 Pro Max today – you can check out the video here.

The Poco X8 Pro Max ships with a case and a USB-A to USB-C cable. There’s no charger in the box, but the phone will likely support 100W.

The Energy label reveals that the phone’s battery is rated at 1000 cycles, and that we should expect around 80 hours of endurance from it. Given that it’s rumored to be a mammoth 8,500mAh power pack, we’re not surprised.

The phone is also revealed to be IP68 water-tight.

Xiaomi is gradually sharing the Poco X8 Pro Max’s specs. We know that the phone will use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s SoC.

That’s all we can reveal at the moment, folks.
