Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max confirmed to receive global release with 8,500 mAh battery rumoured
It is no secret that Xiaomi is developing a global alternative to the Redmi Turbo 5 Max. For context, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max can be imported, but Xiaomi's past performance indicates that both the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Max will remain exclusive to China throughout their lifespans.
However, Xiaomi is expected to rebrand the pair outside China. Currently, the Redmi Turbo 5 is anticipated to receive a global release as the Poco X8 Pro. Replacing last year's Poco X7 Pro (curr. $359 on Amazon), the Poco X8 Pro will line up with a Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset and a 3,500-nit AMOLED display. Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro Max should be the global version of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max.
To that end, the Poco X8 Pro Max has begun appearing at regulatory bodies before its global release. Bearing the model number 2602BPC18G, the device is said to have surfaced at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in Singapore and Indonesia's Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN).
Thus, it seems that prior suggestions that the Poco X8 Pro Max would receive a global release were correct. While release details remain unknown for now, leaks have indicated that the Poco X8 Pro Max would retail for €529 (~$460) with an 8,500 mAh battery.
