POCO claims the battery can deliver up to 3.5 days of usage, although the actual endurance will naturally depend on how the phone is used. Still, a 10,000mAh battery should give the X8 Power a significant advantage for users who prioritise long battery life.
POCO X8 Power: expected specifications
According to an X post by tipster Sanju Choudhary, the POCO X8 Power could feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K 120Hz LTPS OLED display and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset. The phone is expected to pair the processor with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, although the exact memory and storage configurations haven’t been revealed yet.
For cameras, the phone could feature a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor alongside an 8MP ultrawide camera, paired with a 32MP front camera. The 10,000mAh battery is also tipped to support 100W charging, which would complement the phone’s focus on long battery life.
The leak also claims that the X8 Power could get four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates, along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. The post claims the POCO X8 Power could be priced at around Rs 35,000 in India. That would place it below the existing X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max, while giving POCO a capable battery-focused option in the upper mid-range segment.
POCO X8 Power: is it worth waiting for?
The POCO X8 Power would be one of only two smartphones in India with a 10,000mAh battery, alongside the Realme P4 Power (review), making the two direct competitors. The X8 Power, however, could have an advantage in several areas if the leaked specifications prove true. Its reported 100W charging, Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset and longer software support would make it a more complete package than the Realme P4 Power, rather than making battery capacity its only selling point.
That could make the POCO X8 Power an easy recommendation for gamers and power users who want both performance and endurance for demanding everyday use. The POCO X8 Pro currently retails for Rs 39,999, and the X8 Power is likely to be priced below it. We expect the phone to cost around Rs 35,000, which would make it one of the most well-rounded options at this price point.
