Summary

  • Rs 32,999 buys a Poco X8 Pro that the review says gets most basics right, pairing solid day-to-day speed with a design and screen that feel more premium than its price suggests.
  • The 6.59-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel stands out with 3,500-nit peak brightness, thin bezels and strong contrast, while the Dimensity 8500-Ultra keeps apps and games like Call of Duty running smoothly without major heat.
  • A 6,500mAh battery lasted more than a day in regular use, and the bundled 100W charger refilled the phone in about an hour despite its 201-gram build.
  • The 50MP main camera delivers sharp daylight shots and acceptable low-light images, though glare can hurt results; software is the main drawback, with noticeable bloatware on HyperOS 3.
