POCO X8 – Unboxing | Hands-On | First Impressions

The POCO X8 stands out primarily for its enormous 9,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery and extensive durability features. The combination of 67W Xiaomi HyperCharge, 22.5W wired reverse charging, and a battery management chip makes it an interesting option if you want extended battery life without giving up fast charging.

POCO X8 Review: Big Battery, Tough Build, Sensible Package
Source: Exhibit.tech
The POCO X8 has picked two areas to shine; battery life and durability, and it fares extremely well in both. Besides that, the display is excellent, the design has character, everyday performance is good, and the primary camera is capable in daylight. The compromises are equally clear: it's heavy, there's no ultrawide camera, video recording is stuck at 1080p/30fps, and HyperOS could certainly do with some decluttering.
