The Xiaomi brand partner is continuing to publish teasers dedicated to the new X-series smartphones, but still keeping things vague. It is the Indian store Flipkart that reveals more to us, with an image showing the design of POCO X8 Pro and with a possible launch date for the lineup, which now seems very close to debut.
POCO X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max Near Debut: Flipkart May Have Revealed the Date
The cover image, published by Flipkart, comes from the page dedicated to POCO’s new devices. However the store seems to have pushed further: within the page link there is a reference to the day March 26. This could be the release date of the POCO X8 Pro family, but it’s worth noting that at the moment we are only talking about the Indian market.
We are awaiting official confirmation and in the meantime we remind you of the details so far: POCO X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max should debut as the Western rebrands of the Redmi Turbo 5 series. To prove this we have a string of rumors and even an accidental leak from the official Xiaomi store – which accidentally published prices and images of the phones.
Below you will find the specifications of both, based on the Redmi-series cousins’ features but with some differences: for example it seems that the Global models will not receive the orange color, a shade present instead in China.
