POCO M8x: features, specifications
The 7,900mAh battery is the biggest highlight of the POCO M8x and should help users get through long days of streaming, browsing, gaming and social media without reaching for a charger. It supports 45W fast charging, while 22.5W reverse wired charging allows the phone to top up other compatible devices when needed.

On the front, the M8x gets a large 6.9-inch LCD HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate and Wet Touch 2.0, which should keep the touchscreen responsive when your fingers are wet or the phone is used in light rain. The panel also gets Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for added protection against everyday scratches and wear.
The phone has a 50MP dual AI camera on the rear and an 8MP front camera. POCO also includes features such as AI Night Mode and AI Erase, while Circle to Search with Gemini provides a quicker way to look up information from the screen.
The M8x uses a premium leather-style finish and carries an IP64 rating, giving it some protection against dust and water splashes. It also features dual stereo speakers with up to 300 percent volume boost, which should make videos, music and calls easier to hear without headphones.
On the software side, the phone runs Xiaomi HyperOS 3 and comes with 4 years of OS updates and six years of security patches. This makes it a more appealing option for buyers who plan to keep their device for several years.
Should you buy the POCO M8x?
The POCO M8x makes a strong case for buyers who prioritise battery life, but it faces competition from phones such as the OnePlus N6 (review), which also focuses heavily on endurance. The OnePlus N6 packs an 8,000mAh battery and 45W charging while offering a 120Hz display and the clean OxygenOS experience.
The POCO M8x, however, has an advantage in a few areas, which includes a slghtly better chipset, a larger display and longer software support with 4 major OS updates. For users who want the best possible battery life, the OnePlus N6 remains a good alternative, while the POCO M8x could make more sense for those who value long-term software support and a more feature-rich overall package.
