Overview
- The Poco M8 Power was announced Tuesday and will go on sale in India via Flipkart from August 7 with prices starting at Rs. 24,999 for 6GB/128GB and Rs. 27,999 for 8GB/128GB.
- Poco built the phone around an 8,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery with company claims of long runtimes, plus 45W wired fast charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging.
- The handset uses a power‑efficient Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 SoC with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, trading peak performance for cost and battery life.
- A 6.8–6.9-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED panel with up to 1,800 nits peak brightness, Gorilla Glass 7i protection and an IP65 dust/splash rating brings a more premium display and durability to the midrange price tier.
- Poco ships the phone with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 and promises four years of Android upgrades plus six years of security patches, a long support window likely to shape buyer comparisons with rivals such as the OnePlus N6.
