POCO introduces the POCO X8 Pro Max, POCO X8 Pro, and the POCO X8 Pro–Iron Man Edition to the Philippines, marking the evolution of its X Series into the X Pro Series. Designed for a new generation of users, the lineup combines flagship performance, long-lasting endurance, premium design, and a more intelligent user experience.
Flagship Performance at the Core
At its core, the POCO X8 Pro Series pushes performance to new heights. The POCO X8 Pro Max debuts globally with the Dimensity 9500s chipset, built on a 3nm process and delivering an AnTuTu score of over 3 million. Its all-big-core CPU architecture, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensures fast, responsive performance across demanding applications.
Meanwhile, the POCO X8 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 8500-Ultra, offering improved GPU performance and better power efficiency over its predecessor. Both models support hardware-level ray tracing, enhancing gaming realism with more dynamic lighting and reflections.
POCO’s WildBoost Optimization further refines performance by predicting frame-level workloads and minimizing frame drops, resulting in smoother gameplay and lower power consumption. Features such as smart frame rate, super resolution, and enhanced touch response elevate the gaming experience even further.
Advanced Cooling for Sustained Power
To sustain peak performance, the series integrates advanced cooling systems. The POCO X8 Pro Max features a 3D IceLoop Cooling System with a large liquid cooling area and improved thermal design, while the POCO X8 Pro uses a dual-layer cooling structure to maintain stability during heavy use.
Massive Battery, Fast Charging
Battery life is another key strength. The POCO X8 Pro Max houses an 8,500mAh battery, offering up to two days of use and maintaining over 80% capacity after extended charging cycles. The POCO X8 Pro features a 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery in a more compact form. Both devices support 100W HyperCharge and 27W reverse charging, complemented by smart charging technology that optimizes speed, temperature, and long-term battery health.
Bright Displays, Immersive Audio
On the display front, the POCO X8 Pro Max features a 6.83-inch screen, while the POCO X8 Pro comes with a 6.59-inch panel. Both deliver up to 3,500 nits peak brightness for strong outdoor visibility. Advanced panel technology improves luminous efficiency while reducing power consumption, and TÜV Rheinland certifications ensure eye comfort. An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the Pro Max adds fast and secure unlocking.
Audio performance is equally refined. The POCO X8 Pro Max features dual symmetrical speakers with Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos, along with customizable volume modes for different environments.
Premium Design, Built to Last
The series also emphasizes premium design and durability. Both models feature a metal frame, refined finishes, and dynamic RGB lighting integrated into the camera module. Protection is reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and multiple IP ratings for dust and water resistance, while the Pro Max carries SGS certification for structural durability.
Enhanced Imaging with AI Support
Photography is powered by a 50MP main camera across the lineup, paired with a 20MP front camera. The Pro Max uses a Light Fusion 600 sensor, while the Pro model integrates a Sony IMX882 sensor. AI-driven features such as UltraSnap, dynamic shots, and an AI Creativity Assistant enhance capture and editing capabilities, enabling sharper images across varied lighting conditions.
Smart Features and Seamless Connectivity
Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 3, the POCO X8 Pro Series delivers a more connected and intelligent experience. Xiaomi HyperConnect enables seamless device interaction, while features such as Google Gemini and Circle to Search provide intuitive assistance. New additions like Ticket Purchase Mode optimize performance during high-demand scenarios, while Offline Communication supports voice calls even without a network. The Pro Max also introduces eSIM support for added convenience.
POCO x Marvel: Iron Man Edition
POCO further expands its collaboration with Marvel through the POCO X8 Pro – Iron Man Edition. Inspired by Stark’s iconic armor, the device features a black-and-gold design with themed UI elements, delivering a distinct visual identity alongside flagship performance.
