Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro offers a slightly smaller 6.59-inch display with a resolution of 1268 x 2756 pixels, also featuring a 120Hz refresh rate. It is equipped with a Dimensity 8500-Ultra chipset and a 6500mAh battery, which also supports 100W charging.

Both models come with an IP69K rating, ensuring durability against dust and water, although some regions may see an IP68 rating instead. This level of protection is significant for users who require reliable devices in various environments.

Additionally, the launch included a special Iron Man Edition of the Poco X8 Pro, which features a custom case and a Marvel-branded SIM ejector, appealing to fans of the franchise.

The Poco X8 Pro Max starts with 12GB of RAM and offers a storage option of 256GB, retailing at $469, or $529 for the 512GB variant. The Iron Man Edition of the Poco X8 Pro is priced at $400 for the 12/512GB model.

As of now, the devices are available for purchase, and their unique features and pricing strategies are expected to attract a wide range of consumers in India.

This sequence of events is crucial for Xiaomi and Poco, as they continue to strengthen their presence in the competitive smartphone market, particularly in the budget segment where they have previously found success.
