Tony Stark Returns to POCO: First Images of the X8 Pro Iron Man Edition

The February 28 Xiaomi mega event will unveil the new Xiaomi 17 (Global) and a string of novelties for the brand’s ecosystem. However, subsequently, POCO X8 Pro and Pro Max will also arrive, now almost fully revealed by leaks.

The final piece concerns a novelty that probably won’t arrive in Europe, namely the special Iron Man-themed edition — a version that has become a tradition.

POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition will arrive in some Global markets: here are the first images (leaks)

One certification had already revealed the existence of the special edition, but now the leaked images show its design. POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition centers on the iconic Marvel character, but with a design different from the predecessor.

X7 Pro in Iron Man version is dominated by red, while in this case the rear cover is gray/black, with Tony in armor at the center of the shell (done in gold-toned hues).

For the specs, the special edition would have no differences; at most there will be a bespoke packaging containing accessories dedicated to the character (along with themes and software customizations).

The Iron Man variant should be dedicated only to certain markets (including India) but it is unlikely we will see it in Italy. For the launch of the regular series, March is the target: the two POCO X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max smartphones have already been widely teased by leaks, with details even on colorways and prices.
