Poco is preparing to expand its M-series smartphone lineup in India with another 5G device. The company has officially teased the upcoming Poco M8x 5G, giving buyers their first look at its design ahead of the launch.
A dedicated microsite for the smartphone has also gone live, confirming that it will be sold through Flipkart. However, Poco has yet to announce the exact launch date, price or complete specifications.
The smartphone is expected to compete in India's crowded mid-range 5G segment, with its price speculated to be around ₹24,999.
Poco M8x 5G Gets a Fresh Design
The teaser provides a clear look at the rear design of the upcoming Poco M8x 5G.
The smartphone features a flat and textured back panel with a square camera module positioned in the upper-left corner. The model shown in the teaser comes with a green rear panel combined with a contrasting golden frame and camera housing.
The camera module appears to accommodate two rear cameras along with an LED flash. Poco branding can be seen towards the lower portion of the back panel.
The power and volume buttons are positioned on the right side of the handset.
Poco M8x 5G to Be Sold Through Flipkart
Poco has confirmed that the M8x 5G is coming to India and will be available for purchase through Flipkart.
For now, the company is keeping most of the important details under wraps. Information regarding the chipset, display, battery capacity, charging speed and camera sensors is expected to be announced closer to the launch.
The company has also not confirmed the smartphone's variants or official pricing.
Expected Price Around ₹24,999
While official pricing remains unknown, the Poco M8x 5G is expected to be positioned at around ₹24,999.
The final price could vary depending on RAM and storage configurations, while launch offers may further reduce the effective price for eligible buyers.
More clarity should emerge once Poco confirms the launch date and begins revealing additional specifications.
How Does It Compare With Poco M8 Power?
The M8x 5G teaser comes shortly after the launch of the Poco M8 Power in India.
The Poco M8 Power starts at ₹24,999 for its base configuration with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
It features a large 6.83-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display can reach up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness.
The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset and features a 50-megapixel rear camera. An 8-megapixel camera is provided on the front for selfies and video calls.
Another major highlight is its huge 8,000mAh battery, which supports 45W fast charging.
What to Expect From Poco M8x 5G
Poco's teaser currently focuses mainly on the smartphone's design rather than its hardware. The dual-camera appearance, distinctive golden camera module and textured rear panel suggest the company wants to give the M8x 5G a recognisable look within the M-series.
With Flipkart availability already confirmed, the next major announcements are likely to reveal the launch date, processor, battery, display and camera specifications.
Until Poco officially announces these details, information about the expected ₹24,999 price and other unconfirmed specifications should be treated as preliminary.
