POCO has finally taken the curtains off its new performance-driven phone, the POCO X8 Pro. This guy comes with a Dimensity 8500 Ultra chip and a 1.5K res AMOLED panel. In this article, I will discuss all the details of the POCO X8 Pro, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
POCO X8 Pro Overview
Display and Design
Commencing with the display, the POCO X8 Pro features a 6.95-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and support for a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. It also has a 3840Hz PWM dimming with peak brightness up to 3500 nits for eye comfort and outdoor use. During my testing, I found the display impressively bright and vibrant.
Camera and Battery
As for the optics, it features a 50MP Sony IMX822 primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide camera on the back that supports 4K recording at 60fps. Up front, there is a 20MP selfie shooter that can also record 1080p video at 60 fps. With this setup, we found it to be just decent enough for casual photos; portraits are also not that spectacular due to the lack of a telephoto lens.
In terms of battery, the phone gets its juice from a 6500mAh cell, which lasted pretty well in our usage. You get 100W fast charging support for quick top-ups, with 27W reverse-wired charging.
