POCO X8 Pro Max Expert Review Summary
In it’s segment, this phone is among
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The POCO X8 Pro Max gets off to a strong start with impressive performance, backed by reliable battery life and a solid viewing experience. However, the software may feel cluttered and less refined, and the cameras fall short of expectations. That said, for gamers, imaging is often a secondary concern, making these compromises easier to overlook.
Pros
- Bright AMOLED display
- Excellent performance
- Effective cooling system
- Stupendous battery
Cons
- Cameras need improvement
- Software feels cluttered
Simple yet solid design
+
Colour options, I/O, and audio experience
+
Moving on, the POCO X8 Pro Max comes in white, black, and blue colour variants. We received our review unit in black, which features a fibreglass layer that helps minimise minor scratches while also keeping the surface clean and resistant to fingerprints. The overall design remains fairly minimal, with little to draw attention beyond the POCO branding at the bottom left. Up top, you'll find the IR blaster and LED flash neatly placed alongside the camera module. To POCO's credit, the RGB lighting has also been placed discreetly. When switched off, it blends in so well that you wouldn't even notice it's there.

Battery you can count on
+
The POCO X8 Pro Max packs a 9,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, backed by 100W fast charging and 27W reverse charging. A compatible charger is provided in the box, which can juice up the device in around an hour and 15 minutes from 20 percent. It's worth noting that the smartphone limits the charge to 80 percent by default, notably to expand the battery life span, with the 'Intelligent charging' feature. This can be turned off in Battery Protection under Battery in the Settings app.
