Poco, a brand known for its devices focused on cost-benefit, has officially announced the arrival of the new M8 series on the Vietnã market. The line, made up of the M8 5G and M8
Both devices stand out for incorporating advanced technologies, especially with regard to energy autonomy and image display quality. The main innovation lies in the use of silicon-carbon batteries, a technology that promises to revolutionize the durability and performance of smartphones, combined with high refresh rate AMOLED screens.
The launch takes place in a scenario of great competition in the mid-range smartphone segment in Southeast Asia. With the M8 series, Poco seeks to consolidate its position by offering a balanced set of robust specifications, modern design and aggressive pricing, making the latest technology accessible to a greater number of Vietnamese consumers.
Battery technology and improved autonomy
The most notable feature of the Poco M8 series is the adoption of second-generation silicon-carbon batteries. Essa technology represents a significant leap forward from traditional lithium-ion batteries. By using silicon in the anode, it is possible to achieve a much higher energy density, which translates into greater energy storage capacity in a smaller physical space. Para the user, this means prolonged autonomy, capable of supporting a full day of intense use, including gaming, video streaming and browsing social networks, without the need for constant recharging.

Visual quality with high-performance screens
The visual experience is one of the pillars of the M8 series. The Pro model stands out with a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel, which offers 1.5K resolution, providing images with sharp details and vibrant colors. The screen achieves a refresh rate of 120 Hz, ensuring superior fluidity in animations and games, and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits, which ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight.
The Poco M8 5G isn’t far behind, using a 6.77-inch screen with the same refresh rate and maximum brightness specifications. Essa parity ensures the premium viewing experience is maintained across the board, democratizing access to high-quality dashboards.
Both models are TÜV Rheinland certified, a seal that certifies low blue light emission and anti-flickering technology. Essa feature is essential for promoting visual comfort, reducing eye strain during long sessions of use, whether for reading, gaming or media consumption.
Robust construction and ergonomic design
The Poco M8 Pro 5G is designed to withstand the challenges of everyday use and more extreme conditions. Measuring just 8.31 mm thick, the device has a solid construction, protected on the front by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, one of the most resistant glasses on the market against drops and scratches.
In addition to screen protection, the device boasts an impressive set of resistance certifications: IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K. Essa combination ensures complete protection against dust and water ingress, including submersion and high pressure and temperature jets, offering users peace of mind in any environment.
Processing power and cooling system
At the heart of the Poco M8 Pro 5G is the Snapdragon 7s Esse chipset offers stable and efficient performance, capable of running heavy games and performing multiple tasks simultaneously without overheating or performance drops.
To ensure thermal stability, Poco implemented the POCO IceLoop cooling system. Essa technology uses a vapor chamber to dissipate heat more effectively, keeping internal components at optimal temperatures and ensuring high, consistent frame rates during extended gaming sessions.
System fluidity is improved by HyperOS, the brand’s interface based on the latest version of Android. The company also commits to an extended software update cycle, which increases the life of the device and ensures access to new features and security patches for longer.
The standard model, Poco M8 5G, is equipped with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a competent platform that offers an excellent balance between power consumption and processing speed, making it ideal for everyday tasks and intermediate-level games.
Advanced photography features
The M8 series camera set was designed to deliver high-quality results in a variety of situations. The M8 Pro 5G leads the way with a 50 MP Light Fusion 800 main sensor, which features optical image stabilization (OIS). Essa combination allows the capture of photos rich in details and with low noise, even in low-light environments, in addition to enabling the recording of videos in 4K resolution with great stability. The set is complemented by an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens for recording wide landscapes and a 32 MP front camera for clear selfies.
The Poco M8 5G also has a 50 MP main sensor, the Light Fusion 400, which delivers clear, share-ready photos. Ambos smartphones benefit from artificial intelligence algorithms that automatically enhance images, adjusting colors, contrast and exposure to deliver professional results with little user effort. Entre software features stand out:
– Modo nighttime optimized for low light;
– Modo portrait with natural background blur effect;
– Filtros intelligent machines based on machine learning;
– Gravação stabilized video even in motion.
