POCO X8s Launches As A Compact All-Rounder In The X Pro Series

POCO has introduced the POCO X8s, a new addition to its X Pro Series that targets users who want capable, well-rounded performance in a smaller form factor suited for one-handed use, a segment that is fairly overlooked today as most phones, from budget to flagship, often aim for large displays.

POCO X8s: Specs & Features

The POCO X8s measures 8.06mm thick and weighs 187g; it has a micro-curved aluminum frame and a glass back, and the camera module matches the body color. The phone comes in blue, white and black, with the black version using a black-silver design. The phone has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The 6.35-inch 1.5K AMOLED display uses an M10 panel and has bezels of 1.18mm. Peak brightness reaches up to 3,500 nits, and POCO’s first 1–120Hz Adaptive refresh rate Pro adjusts the refresh rate to balance smooth visuals and power consumption. The display carries three TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications, while an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor supports wet-touch use and press-and-slide enrolment.

The main camera uses a 50MP Light Fusion 800 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). For the first time in the POCO X Pro Series, the phone adds a 50MP 2.5x telephoto camera, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, cooled by POCO 3D IceLoop system and backed by a 6,330mAh silicon-carbon battery with 16% silicon content. It supports 100W HyperCharge and 22.5W reverse charging.

The POCO X8s is now available in Malaysia – from 10 to 25 November 2026, buyers can get it on mi.com and the official POCO stores on Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop. The 8+256GB model has a price of RM1,899, while the 12+512GB model has a price of RM2,099.
