POCO M8 Power: The Battery Phone of Summer Arrives in August

Xiaomi is preparing to launch a new Global mid-range: POCO M8 Power 5G has a launch date and promises plenty of style and a giant battery for endless autonomy. Let’s take stock with an almost complete spec sheet, since — probably — it will be a rebrand arriving from Redmi.

The launch date for POCO M8 Power is set for 4 August: for now the debut is expected in India and there are no details yet on a release at our latitude. As previously noted, the new POCO should be a rebrand of Redmi Note 17 (freshly launched in China) and consequently the specifications would already be known.

Plenty of autonomy and a color perfect for the summer

Beyond the release date, Xiaomi has also shown the design of the new POCO: the mid-range will debut with a large rectangular island housing the dual camera and the LED flash. It will also be available in orange, a bold and fresh color, perfect for summer.

We already know that the phone features a centered punch-hole display and now we know it will be an AMOLED panel.

Finally, among the confirmed features there is also an 8,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, with the promise of up to 3 days of autonomy.
