POCO, an independent brand under Xiaomi, officially launched its new POCO X8 series in Taiwan today (March 31), sending shockwaves through the mid-to-high-end smartphone market. In addition to the debut of the POCO X8 Pro Max, boasting a record-breaking 8500mAh battery, the Marvel collaboration model that sparked a buying frenzy last year has also made a triumphant return with the POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Limited Edition.
Meanwhile, to welcome the upcoming "2026 Xiaomi Mi Fan Festival", Xiaomi is offering super discounts of up to 10,000 yuan and lucky draw prizes worth over one million yuan, aiming to boost sales during the spring season.
A battery monster is born: POCO X8 Pro Max is the first to feature an 8500mAh silicon-carbon battery.
Among the POCO X8 series models this time, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the "Pro Max" model, which is being added to the product line for the first time.
• Largest battery capacity in history:The POCO X8 Pro Max features the brand's largest 8500mAh silicon-carbon battery to date. This not only boasts an impressive two-day battery life on a single charge, but also meets TÜV SÜD's high cycle life certification (retaining over 80% capacity after 1600 charge cycles).
• 100W fast charging and reverse charging:The entire series supports 100W HyperCharge fast charging, the same level as the POCO F series. It also introduces 27W reverse charging technology for the first time in the X series, allowing the POCO X8 Pro Max with its large capacity to instantly become a power source for other devices.
• The slim and lightweight version is just as powerful:The other model, the POCO X8 Pro, maintains a slim and lightweight feel while still packing in a large 6500mAh battery, and also supports 100W flash charging.
Debuting the first MediaTek Dimensity dual flagship chip, fully unleashing gaming performance.
In terms of performance configuration, POCO continues its tradition as a "performance disruptor".
• POCO X8 Pro Max:It is the first to be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s flagship processor.
• POCO X8 Pro:It is the first to be equipped with the Dimensity 8500-Ultra processor.
On the software side, the entire series supports "Rage Engine" technology and the POCO 3D ring-shaped cold pump cooling system (LiquidCool water cooling technology). The official statement emphasizes that when running demanding games such as Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact 3rd, it can support a maximum of 120 FPS intelligent frame rate, ensuring no frame drops during long gameplay sessions.
Faith in the brand: The POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Limited Edition makes a triumphant return.
Continuing its successful collaboration with Marvel, the new "POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Limited Edition" is inspired by the black and gold armor of Stark Industries. The body features a sleek black design with luxurious gold armor textures, and the central flash is cleverly designed as the iconic "Arc Reactor".
In addition to its appearance, POCO has also created a custom UI interface for it, with Iron Man elements in everything from the boot animation to system details, and it comes with a limited collector's gift box inspired by the MK5 armor box.
The entry-level gaming POCO M8 5G was also launched.
In addition to the high-end X series, POCO also launched the POCO M8 5G, targeting entry-level users. It features a 6.77-inch 120Hz Flow AMOLED screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, and a 5000mAh battery (supporting 45W fast charging).
