POCO X8s Now Official in Global Market with Compact Design

POCO has just expanded the POCO X8 series with the introduction of the POCO X8s in the global market. The latest member of the series boasts a more compact design compared to its siblings.

In the Philippines, there are three members of the X8 series, namely the POCO X8 Pro Max, POCO X8 Pro, and the POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition.

POCO X8s – A Compact Contender

The POCO X8s is built around a 6.35-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display boasts 3500 nits of peak brightness and 1.18mm uniform bezels. It also houses a 20MP front snapper.

The back of the device features a rounded rectangle for its cameras which is comprised of a 50MP Light Fusion 800 main sensor joined by a 50MP telephoto lens and an 8MP that handles ultrawide shots.

Under the hood, it has a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with up to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. This draws power from a 6330mAh battery with support for 100W HyperCharge wired charging.

It also features an IP68 rating, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, 5G, and runs on HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

Pricing and Availability

The POCO X8s comes in three colors – Black, White, and Blue. The device also comes in two variants with an early bird price at:

• 8GB+256GB – Early bird price USD 399 (around PHP 25,500)
• 12GB+512GB – Early bird price USD 499 (around PHP 31,800)

As of writing this, the specific markets it will be available in has yet to be announced. We’d love the device to make it to the Philippines to join its siblings. We’ll likely just have to wait for the official announcement.
