5. The global launch date for the Poco X8 Pro is still uncertain.

The Poco X8 series isn’t here yet, but it looks like the Poco X7 and Poco X7 Pro are about to be replaced. Recently, the Poco X8 series showed up in global regulatory bodies and has now appeared on Geekbench. As is typical, the benchmarking site does not use the retail name for the device.

Model Details

Instead, Geekbench lists it as 2511FPC34G, with the G at the end indicating it will be available globally. Based on earlier leaks, it is more likely that this device is the Poco X8 Pro instead of the rumored Poco X8 Pro Max. Additionally, Geekbench reveals that the 2511FPC34G is powered by a Dimensity 8500 series chipset, unlike the Dimensity 9500s that the Poco X8 Pro Max is expected to use.

Performance Specs

The smartphone comes equipped with one main core, three performance cores, and three energy-efficient cores, along with a Mali-G720 MP8 GPU. The Poco X8 Pro aligns with the typical performance we anticipate from the Dimensity 8500. As a result, the Poco X8 Pro offers about a 7% improvement in single-core performance compared to the previous model. However, its multi-core performance is on par with last year’s Poco X7 Pro.

Pricing and Launch

According to the screenshots below, Xiaomi is set to provide the Poco X8 Pro with 12 GB of RAM and Android 16 right out of the box. This version is expected to be priced at €479 (~$569) with 512 GB of storage. On the other hand, the Poco X8 Pro is likely to begin with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for €399 (~$475). As of now, it’s still uncertain when the Poco X8 Pro will make its global launch.
