Is it any good?
The M8 5G is the thin one: 7.35 mm and 178 g, the slimmest and lightest phone POCO sells, with a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED that peaks at 3,200 nits.
It runs a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 with a 5,520 mAh battery and 45W charging, carries IP65 and IP66, and POCO promises four Android updates and six years of security fixes. The 50MP main camera uses a Light Fusion 400 sensor, with a 2MP depth camera beside it, and the 20MP selfie camera records 1080p.
The catch is value: it starts at ₹24,999 for 6GB + 128GB, ₹1,000 more than the X7 Pro, which has a much faster chip and a bigger battery. Buy the M8 for the slim, light build, not the spec sheet.
