The Pipino Verdict

The POCO X8 is a large-screen, big-battery phone aimed at buyers who want endurance and durability more than top speed. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chip and single useful rear camera are the trade-offs. Pipino Power Rating 3.5/5. Rated on specs and value only, not our own hands-on testing.
