Two phones with batteries of 9,000mAh and 10,000mAh are heading to India. POCO India confirmed on its official X account that the POCO X8 and POCO X8 Power will launch there on September 4.
The battery sizes are the confirmed part. The X8 Power gets the 10,000mAh cell, along with a faux-leather back. The standard X8 carries a slightly smaller 9,000mAh battery. POCO has not yet published the rest of the specifications.
What the leaks say
The launch date follows a run of leaks. Last week a tipster known as @saaaanjjjuuu posted what were described as the full specifications and design of the pair. Those leaks point to a familiar pattern: the X8 Power would be a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, and the standard X8 would follow the Redmi Note 17 Pro. Both are expected to show small changes from the Redmi originals.
Earlier rumors put a 6.83-inch display on both phones. The X8 Power is said to use a Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset, the X8 a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4. Both chips are built on a 4nm process, but the one in the Power model would have the stronger CPU and GPU.
All of that remains speculation until POCO says otherwise, MobileDokan noted, and the company is expected to release more official details in the coming days.
