Poco X8 Pro: Leak reveals early details of upcoming Xiaomi mid-range phone

The Redmi Turbo 5 is rumored to launch in early 2026, and it's expected to make a global debut as the Poco X8 Pro. While Xiaomi has yet to share details about this upcoming phone, Digital Chat Station, a credible leaker, has shared some early specs of the device.

Per one of the recent posts from the leakster, the Redmi Turbo 5 will feature a 6.6-inch display that will sport a large R-angle and "1.5K" resolution. To compare, the predecessor, which launched internationally as the Poco X7 Pro, features a 6.67-inch screen, which means that the upcoming mid-range phone will be a little more compact than the current-gen model.

Digital Chat Station further shares that the Poco X8 Pro will come with a metal mid-frame, which would stand as a big upgrade over the plastic build that the predecessor comes with. The leaker also hints that the upcoming mid-range phone will sport a thin yet large battery.

There's no mention of the capacity, but the predecessor comes with a 6,550 mAh battery with support for 90 W fast charging (145 W Ugreen Nexode 25K power bank curr. $74.99 on Amazon). It's possible that the Redmi Turbo 5 will sport a battery with a similar capacity for retaining a thin and light design. The leak didn't share anything about the SoC either, but it's expected to be the Dimensity 8500 Ultra.

As for the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro, recent reports suggested that it will be a sub-flagship with a large battery. To be precise, the leaks have hinted that the battery capacity will exceed the 8,000 mAh mark. It's expected to launch after the non-Pro variant and make a global debut as the Poco F8.
