It was expected that Poco M8 5G would start scaling even lighter categories, and thinner bases were going to weigh in on this newly minted phone at almost 7.3 mm thick and nearly 178 grams; thus, it does not tire some user for a longer time.
This premium look factor has been designed with the modern design twist wherein it has a dual-tone back panel with a vegan leather finish.
Premium Display Experience
Although it is supposed to be a newborn child, the new M8 5 is said to have a 6.77 AMOLED display with increased refresh rate up to 120Hz. Such refresh rates are going to raise the entertainment level all the way through scrolling, gaming, and watching videos, and it may peak at around a 3200 nits brightness value, thus being used under sunlight.
Protection by CG 7 is needed for it.

Image Features and Cameras
On this, it is expected to feature a 50-megapixel AI main sensor alongside a 2MP depth sensor. So, tipsters say, this phone has a 20 MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
It would have greatly created in-camera magic, since it's mostly found photographing incredibly high-res photos by day and night, promising even further improvement into an experience in smartphone photography by day and night.
Pillars and Software
Inside the Poco M8 5G, it will have a 5520 mAh battery that will last a day at medium use, then require recharging. With that, the battery can be topped up in no time using 45W fast-charging technology. The phone would be running HyperOS 2 on Android 15.
Price and Availability
No official word has been given regarding prices, but analysts expect it to follow mid-range vision lines below ₹15,000. Much lesser price point was at which the previous Poco M7 5G arrived in India, and thus an increment is anticipated for the new M8 5G models.

People may get it quite a lot because of its reputed performance and features standing-out in POCO value-for-money compared to the old models.
