Our take

Is it any good?

The M8 5G starts at ₹24,999 for 6GB + 128GB, stepping up to ₹26,999 for 8GB + 128GB and ₹28,999 for 8GB + 256GB. It departs from bulky battery chassis designs, focusing on a lightweight build and a bright display.

In India, the phone packs a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel with 3,200 nits peak brightness, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. At 178g and 7.35mm thickness, it is the slimmest device in POCO's current mid-range catalogue, powered by a 5,520 mAh battery with 45W charging.

The catch is the internal competition: at ₹24,999, it overlaps directly with the faster X7 Pro. Buyers choosing the M8 5G are deliberately paying for its lighter pocket feel and IP65/IP66 protection over maximum frame rates.
