Poco X8s: a compact smartphone with a 6.35-inch screen and a 6330 mAh battery

POCO X8s – a new compact device in the mid-range segment!

In the mid-range price segment, it is difficult to find smartphones with a small form factor. They are few and far between, which is why the launch of the new POCO X8s is worth noting. With a 6.35-inch display, it is practically tiny compared to its competitors!

POCO X8s is certainly a treat for those looking for a compact smartphone—one that isn't necessarily a flagship, but rather something more affordably priced. Featuring a 6.35-inch Full HD+ OLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, the POCO X8s fits these expectations perfectly. Impressively, despite its compact dimensions, the device houses a 6330 mAh battery, complete with 100W fast charging. It also includes a decent 50-megapixel main camera, supported by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Another strong point in its specifications is the IP68 ingress protection rating; furthermore, the phone looks quite sleek, thanks in large part to its narrow screen bezels.

Does this sound like a recipe for success? Almost—while the smartphone is available in attractive memory configurations (8+256 GB and 12+512 GB), its price tag might dampen some of the enthusiasm. In Vietnam, it is offered for 11,500,000 or 14,000,000 dong, which is equivalent to 445–545 USD.
