Is it any good?
The X8 Pro starts at ₹36,999 for 8GB + 256GB, stepping up to ₹41,999 for the 12GB + 512GB configuration. It is designed for gamers and demanding users who want upper-tier processing capability without paying extra for the larger 9,000 mAh battery found in the Max.
The Indian model features a 6.59-inch 120Hz AMOLED display peaking at 3,500 nits brightness, powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor. A 6,500 mAh battery keeps the overall weight down to 201g, while charging remains rapid at 100W.
The compromise compared to the X8 Pro Max is 2,500 mAh less battery capacity and slightly reduced screen area. However, it retains comprehensive IP66, IP68, and IP69 water resistance alongside four promised Android version upgrades, making it an easier everyday carry in the pocket.
