The long-awaited Poco X8 Pro has just had its first performance details revealed through an appearance on the Geekbench platform, confirming expectations about its robust hardware. The device, identified by model 2511FPC34G, demonstrated high processing capacity using the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chipset, positioning itself as a competitive option in the premium mid-range segment for the 2026 market.
Test records indicate that the device achieved 1,708 points in single-core operations and an impressive 6,297 points in multi-core tests. Esses numbers suggest a significant leap in performance compared to the previous generation, ensuring fluidity both in everyday tasks and in applications that require greater computing power.
The processor architecture revealed by the listing shows an eight-core configuration designed for efficiency and brute force. The main component operates at a frequency of 3.40 GHz, supported by three performance cores running at 3.20 GHz and four efficiency cores running at 2.20 GHz, balancing power consumption.
For graphics processing, the device has the Mali-G720 MC8 GPU, which promises to handle modern games and high-quality rendering without difficulties. The tested model was equipped with 12 GB of RAM, enough to keep several applications open simultaneously without choking.
Updated software and visual experience
In addition to the internal hardware, the user experience will be enhanced by native integration with the Android 16, running under the Xiaomi’s custom HyperOS 3 interface. Essa combination aims to offer intuitive navigation, artificial intelligence features and better system resource management, extending the device’s lifespan through consistent updates.
In terms of visuals, the information points to a 6.59-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution. The 120 Hz refresh rate ensures smooth transitions, ideal for media consumption and competitive gaming, while the design must maintain the striking visual identity of the Poco line.
The photographic set also received special attention, with specifications that aim to meet content creators and mobile photography enthusiasts:
- 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS).
- 8-megapixel ultrawide lens for wide-angle shots.
- 20 megapixel front camera optimized for selfies and video calls.
Power autonomy and launch forecast
One of the great highlights of the new model is its robust 6,500 mAh battery, designed to withstand more than a day of intense use away from the socket. Quando recharging is necessary, support for 100W fast charging will allow the user to resume their activities in a few minutes, minimizing downtime.
Durability was also reinforced with IP69K certification, which ensures maximum protection against dust ingress and resistance to high pressure and temperature water jets. The Poco X8 Pro has already undergone certifications from regulatory bodies such as NBTC, indicating that development is in the final stage.
The global launch is expected to take place in March 2026, with the device hitting shelves in several memory configurations, including options for up to 512 GB of storage. The colors available at launch should include the classic black, white and green variants, maintaining the brand’s tradition of offering sober and elegant aesthetics.
