Poco has not revealed any other details about the upcoming phones, but recent leaks suggest that the X8 will be a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro, while the X8 Power will be a rebadged Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.
However, both models are expected to feature some minor changes compared to their Redmi counterparts.
The X8 is likely to offer a 6.83-inch display, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, and a 50MP main rear camera.
On the other hand, the Poco X8 Power is rumored to also come with a 6.83-inch display, but with a more powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset.
We expect Poco to share more details about the phones in the coming days.

A bigger battery is at least useful for the average user. Who cares about gen 4 or gen 5 chipset? Making phones faster and faster is completely pointless for most people at this point.

Lmao. Makers are now resorting to battery capacities to overshadow the chipsets. I hate this timeline so much.
