Poco X8 Pro series could debut globally on March 17, says new leak A leak suggests that Poco is preparing to launch its next line of performance-focused smartphones for the global market. According to an industry insider, the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max are expected to debut worldwide on March 17, 2026. If the details are accurate, these models will follow Poco’s established strategy of adapting slightly modified versions of Xiaomi’s China-exclusive devices for international markets. The upcoming phones are anticipated to be based on the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Max, with adjustments tailored for global audiences. The Poco X8 Pro is confirmed to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset, which is designed to deliver robust performance for gaming, multitasking, and everyday use. The device is expected to include a 6.59-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, a specification that has become common in this segment. Camera hardware for the X8 Pro is described as typical for a mid-range performance-focused phone, with reports indicating a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 20MP front-facing selfie shooter. One of the more notable aspects of the X8 Pro is its battery capacity. The device is rumored to include a 7,560mAh battery, the same as the Redmi Turbo 5. This is considered unusually large for a phone in this category. The battery is also expected to support 100W fast charging, allowing users to recharge the device quickly. The Poco X8 Pro Max is anticipated to build upon the specifications of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max. It is expected to feature a larger 6.83-inch 1.5K display and a more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset.#xiaomi #poco_x8_pro #poco_x8_pro_max #redmi_turbo_5 #redmi_turbo_5_max
