January 8, 2026, 8:32 PM EST. The Poco M8 Pro enters the mid-range fold with endurance at its core: a 6,500mAh battery paired with 100W wired charging that Poco says tops 100% in about 40 minutes. It sports a 6.83-inch AMOLED display, 1,280p resolution, 120Hz refresh, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Power comes from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, and the EU variants carry IP66/IP68, while other markets push toward IP69/IP69K protection. The M8 Pro is effectively a rebadged Redmi Note 15 Pro+ with a 50MP main camera (instead of Redmi's 200MP) plus the same 8MP ultrawide and 32MP selfies. It drops microSD storage, runs Android 15 with HyperOS 2 and four major upgrades, and adds NFC, an IR blaster, and stereo speakers. In short, battery life and charging define the pitch, not headline cameras.
