POCO X8 Power was launched in the Indian market last month i.e. in September. Its biggest feature is being a smartphone with a big battery in the mid-price range category. The price of the variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage of this handset is Rs 35,999. At the same time, the price of its 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant is Rs 38,999. However, after the launch offers, this phone can be purchased at an effective price of Rs 32,999. We have used this device of the Chinese company for full 2 ​​weeks. Before deciding to buy, it is important to know how this device works? Come, let us know how we liked it..

Look and Feel

This smartphone from Poco comes in a clean matte black and classic yellow vegan-leather finish, which looks very luxurious and premium when held in the hand. It really looks very attractive and fabulous. In this handset, priority has been given to strength rather than appearance. Talking about the display, the handset has the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. At the same time, it has IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for best protection from dust and water.

Processor and performance

This handset has Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor (4nm), which gives smooth performance. It has up to 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage (the 128GB variant has UFS 2.2), so there is no problem in switching from one app to another. It works very easily.

This phone comes with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. It will offer 4 years of OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates. This is a great thing for those who want to buy a long lasting device. The only thing I found irritating is the presence of too many useless apps. This handset comes pre-installed with 35 third-party apps. If you don’t need them (at least not half of the apps), this can be annoying.

Photography Experience

This smartphone is quite good and has a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, which can click bright and clear pictures with natural tones in daylight. Even in low light, the camera of this phone can capture very good pictures, in which there is very little noise. Also, its night mode scene has AI enhancement which can make the photos brighter and at this price it is quite good. If we talk about the secondary 8MP ultrawide camera, the details may be slightly less in it, but the colors remain the same.

For selfies and video calls, this phone has a 32MP selfie camera, which is perfect for clear portraits and video calls. For selfies, the feature that smoothes and beautifies the subject continues to work even when you use it sparingly or not at all. This means don’t expect your selfies to look realistic, as they will be beautified by AI, making your photos look smoother and more textured. The main lens can record video with maximum stable footage at 4K @ 30 FPS.

Gaming: Really awesome!

In Poco X8 Power, you can play casual and mid-tier games easily and supports BGMI up to 90 FPS. The heating is well controlled in this, so that smooth gameplay can be enjoyed for 30 minutes without any problem. Heavy games like Shadow Fight 3 and Ninja Arashi 3 can be played stably at low graphics settings. But if you want this device primarily for gaming, you may feel the lack of a gaming chip in it.

Battery: Long lasting and powerful

The biggest feature of this device is its 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which provides enough power to keep the device running smoothly for 2 days even with heavy multitasking. At the same time, if you use the device only for social media and basic calling, then it can last for more than 3 days. This is really great for those who are lazy and don’t want to put in the effort of charging the device again and again.

An hour of YouTube streaming can drain just 3% of the battery, meaning you can watch multiple videos for a long time without any hassle. Talking about charging, the included 100W Hypercharge adapter charges the phone from 20% to 100% in about an hour. It also works as a power bank with 27W wired reverse charging, which helps in charging your connected devices.

Connectivity, audio and call quality

5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 5, and in-display fingerprint response are great. The 6.83-inch 1.5K 120Hz AMOLED panel delivers an immersive viewing experience with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos enhance the media viewing experience.

Video calls are clear and crisp with the 32MP camera. However, turning on “400% Audio Boost” may result in a slight loss of speaker sound; It works well when used at half capacity.

Value for money?

Poco X8 Power can prove to be a great phone in the price range of Rs 35,999. Especially if your priority is long and powerful battery life that can last for a few days. Even in an era of rising component prices, it offers a great display and strong IP ratings. According to my experience, this device is suitable for those who need a phone with strong performance for gaming, long battery life, fast processor and long lasting usage.

Despite having a massive 10,000 mAh battery, the POCO X8 Power’s size (8.65 mm thickness and 229 grams weight) is surprisingly easy to handle. It doesn’t feel heavy at all. However, using it with one hand may be a bit difficult. Nevertheless, it weighs more than the common smartphones available in the market.
