POCO seems to be getting ready to introduce a new X-series phone in India. The dedicated microsite for the upcoming POCO X8 5G has now gone live, indirectly confirming the name and teasing the design of the device.
The company has not yet announced the official launch date or full specifications. However, reports suggest that the POCO X8 5G may arrive in India in early September. The new device might join POCO’s popular X-series lineup and could offer several upgrades over previous models.
POCO X8 5G Flipkart Microsite Goes Live
The biggest update comes from Flipkart, which has launched a dedicated landing page for the upcoming POCO smartphone.
The microsite points towards the POCO X8 5G name and confirms that the smartphone will be available for sale on Flipkart after its India launch. Interestingly, the POCO X8 name does not appear directly on the banners, but the URL reportedly includes “POCO X8 Coming Soon,” indirectly confirming the name.
The page also features a dark teaser image, giving users an early look at the phone’s design. However, POCO has not yet revealed the complete design or specifications. More teasers may appear before the launch event.
POCO X8 5G Design Has Also Been Teased
The teaser from Flipkart gives a glimpse of the upcoming smartphone.
The image does not reveal all the details, but it shows part of the rear design of the POCO X8 5G. The company has kept the complete design hidden for now.
The teaser suggests a black colour option with a square-shaped camera module. The camera section appears to include two large circular camera rings and a smaller section for the LED flash.
POCO has recently teased new X-series smartphones for India, and earlier promotions suggested that more than one device could arrive in the market. However, the current Flipkart microsite mainly focuses on the standard POCO X8 5G.

POCO X8 Power 5G Could Also Launch Alongside It
According to previous reports, POCO may launch two smartphones in India: the POCO X8 5G and the rumoured POCO X8 Power 5G.
A tipster had earlier suggested that both phones could arrive during the first week of September. POCO had also teased the arrival of two new X-series smartphones.
At the moment, however, the Flipkart microsite only promotes the POCO X8 5G. Therefore, POCO has not officially confirmed whether the POCO X8 Power 5G will launch alongside the regular model.
Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 Could Power the POCO X8 5G
The full specifications have yet to be confirmed, but leaks suggest that the POCO X8 5G may use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset.
It is also reported that the processor may achieve around 830,000 points on AnTuTu. If these reports are correct, the phone could offer good performance for gaming, multitasking and everyday use.
However, buyers should wait for POCO’s official announcement before considering these specifications final.
A Large AMOLED Display Is Also Expected
The POCO X8 5G might also come with a large AMOLED display.
According to reports, the phone may feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen and offer up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness.
The device might also support Wet Touch 2.0, which could make the display easier to use with wet fingers. There have also been rumours about Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for better resistance against accidental drops.
However, this information is currently based on leaks and POCO has not officially confirmed it.
