Poco announces the X8 Pro series: Dimensity power and long-lasting batteries

Published on March 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Poco is preparing to renew its high-end range with the X8 series, aimed at users who demand sustained performance. The lineup will consist of two models: the Poco X8 Pro and the X8 Pro Max. Both bet on Dimensity chipsets and remarkable battery life, but they differ in their focus. The Pro Max is designed for demanding gaming, while the Pro seeks a balance for daily use.

Dimensity 9500s and 3D IceLoop cooling: the foundation of performance 🔥

The main technical difference lies in the processor. The X8 Pro Max incorporates the 3 nm Dimensity 9500s, a platform that manages resources efficiently. To maintain the pace in long sessions, it uses a 3D IceLoop cooling system. The X8 Pro opts for the Dimensity 8500-Ultra. Both are backed by large-capacity batteries: 6500 mAh in the Pro and 8500 mAh in the Pro Max, with support for HyperCharge fast charging.

With these batteries, the charger will go to a better life ⚰️

It's a risky move. With batteries that promise one or two days of intensive use, Poco could be putting an entire industry at risk: that of desktop chargers. Those faithful companions that always wait in the nightstand outlet might see their utility reduced to that of a technological paperweight. A drama for the cables, which will feel forgotten.
