Is it any good?
The M8x costs ₹17,999 for 6GB + 128GB and is squarely aimed at users needing multi-day battery endurance on a budget. POCO fits it with a 7,900 mAh battery supported by 45W wired charging and 22.5W reverse charging to top up accessories.
Powering the handset is the 4nm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 processor, which POCO pairs with four generations of Android version upgrades. On the back, a 50MP main camera handles daily photography, while an IP64 rating provides basic dust and splash protection.
The trade-off lies in the screen and resolution. While the 6.9-inch display refreshes at 120Hz, it runs at HD+ resolution rather than sharper Full HD+. Buyers who value text sharpness over pure battery capacity may prefer looking higher in the catalogue.
