Poco X8 Power launched today, price starts at Rs 35,999

Poco has launched the X8 Power 5G today, with prices starting at Rs 35,999 for the 10,000mAh battery variant.

The standard Poco X8 5G was launched alongside it, priced at Rs 29,999.

The X8 Power is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset, with a 6.83-inch 1.5K, 120Hz AMOLED display and 100W HyperCharge fast charging.

The X8 5G comes with a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, a 9,000mAh battery and a 50-megapixel dual rear camera.

Sales for both phones begin September 11, 2026, exclusively on Flipkart, with launch offers reducing the effective price.

The standard Poco X8 5G runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, with RAM options of 6GB, 8GB and 12GB.

Camera hardware on the Poco X8 5G includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor paired with a 2-megapixel secondary lens, along with a 16-megapixel front camera.

The Poco X8 Power’s 10,000mAh Silicon-Carbon battery is paired with 100W HyperCharge fast charging, aiming to offset the downside of a larger battery with quicker top-up times.

Poco has positioned both phones squarely in the budget-to-midrange segment, competing against similarly specced offerings from Redmi, Realme and other Chinese-origin brands in India.

Both phones will go on sale from September 11, 2026, at 12 noon, exclusively through Flipkart.

Launch offers include a Rs 2,000 coupon discount and a Rs 1,000 bank offer or exchange bonus, bringing effective prices down to Rs 26,999 for the X8 and Rs 32,999 for the X8 Power.

The Poco X8 Power 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chipset and features a 6.83-inch 1.5K, 120Hz AMOLED display.

The X8 Power carries IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance, an unusually comprehensive set of protections for its price segment.

At 229 grams and 8.65mm thick, the X8 Power’s weight and dimensions reflect the trade-offs of housing a 10,000mAh battery in a phone of this size.
