Poco Sets January 8 India Launch for M8 5G, Teasing Slim Build and 50MP Camera

Official details stop at the design, with pricing and full specifications reserved for the launch.

Overview

  • The M8 5G will debut in India on January 8, 2026 at 12:00 pm IST, with sales through Flipkart and a dedicated product page already live.
  • Poco confirms a 7.35mm-thin chassis, roughly 178g weight, and a 50MP primary camera in a centered squircle module.
  • Unconfirmed reports point to a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED, and a 5,520mAh battery with 45W charging.
  • Poco has not announced India pricing, and early Russian retailer listings that convert to roughly INR 30,000–44,200 are not reliable indicators for the local market.
  • A higher-spec M8 Pro appears in premature listings with claims of a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, a larger curved display, and up to 100W charging, all pending official confirmation.
