Poco M8X: What makes this phone special in the ₹25,000 budget range? These 3 features make it a strong choice..
If you are considering buying a new 5G phone for up to ₹25,000, the Poco M8X has emerged as an interesting option. The phone features a large 6.9-inch screen, a massive 7,900mAh battery, and a new Snapdragon processor. Notably, while the company has compromised on a few features to keep the price down, the phone appears robust in terms of battery life, performance, and software. Let’s take a look at three key features that make this phone a compelling choice.
1. Large Screen and Enhanced Sound
The Poco M8X sports a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD screen. It offers a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring a smoother experience for scrolling and gaming. Although the screen is not Full HD, its large size makes it stand out in this price range.
The display has received TÜV Rheinland's Triple Eye certification, offering features like reduced flicker, minimized eye strain, and lower blue light emission. The phone also supports dual stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio, and high-volume output.
2. 7,900mAh Battery and New Processor
One of the phone's standout features is its 7,900mAh silicon-carbon battery. Poco claims it can last up to three days with normal usage. It also supports 45W fast charging.
For performance, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 processor. Built on 4nm technology, this chipset is powerful enough to handle daily tasks, video streaming, and casual gaming. It also offers up to 6GB of physical RAM and an additional 6GB of virtual RAM.
3. Long-term Software Support
The Poco M8X runs on HyperOS 3, based on Android 16. The company has promised four years of Android updates and six years of security updates for the device. The phone comes with AI-powered tools alongside features like HyperOS. These include Circle to Search, AI Eraser, and AI Night Mode. It also supports Google Gemini.
Compromise on the camera?
The phone features a 50-megapixel main camera on the back and an 8-megapixel camera on the front. The camera is not its strongest suit; if you are buying the phone primarily for photography, it would be better to consider other options in this price range.
What is the price?
The Poco M8X model with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at ₹20,999. An additional discount of up to ₹950 is available when paying with select cards.
The model with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at ₹22,999. A discount of approximately ₹1,050 is available on this variant as well when using select cards.
Overall, thanks to its large screen, long-lasting battery, and extended software support, the Poco M8X emerges as a strong contender in the sub-₹25,000 price segment.
