POCO X8 Power Review: Explore its 10,000mAh battery, 100W charging, 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor and camera performance.
The POCO X8 Power Review shows that the smartphone is built around one major promise—exceptional battery endurance without compromising too much on performance. Launched in September 2026, the phone targets users looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone with a massive battery, fast charging, a high-quality AMOLED display and durable construction.
The POCO X8 Power is priced at Rs 35,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model, while the 8GB + 256GB version costs Rs 38,999. With launch offers, the effective price can come down to Rs 32,999. After using the smartphone for around two weeks, here is what stands out about the device.
Design and Build Quality
The biggest challenge for a smartphone carrying a 10,000mAh battery is keeping its size and weight manageable. POCO has done a reasonably good job here. The X8 Power measures 8.65mm in thickness and weighs around 229 grams.
It is certainly heavier than a conventional smartphone, and one-handed use may not always feel comfortable. However, considering the battery capacity, the overall design remains surprisingly manageable.
The phone comes in Matte Black and a POCO Yellow vegan-leather finish. The latter gives the handset a distinctive and premium appearance. Rather than focusing purely on a flashy design, POCO has prioritised durability and practicality.
The display gets Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, while IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings provide extensive protection against dust and water.
Performance and Software
The POCO X8 Power Review highlights the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 processor as one of the phone’s key performance components. Built on a 4nm process, the chipset handles everyday tasks smoothly.
The handset offers up to 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB storage. The 256GB variant uses UFS 4.1 storage, while the 128GB model comes with UFS 2.2. Switching between applications feels smooth, making the phone suitable for regular multitasking.
The device ships with Android 16-based HyperOS 3 and is promised four years of OS upgrades along with six years of security updates. That makes it a relatively future-ready option for buyers planning to keep their smartphone for several years.
However, the software experience is not completely clean. The phone comes with around 35 third-party pre-installed apps, many of which may not be useful to every user. Removing unnecessary applications can make the experience considerably cleaner.
Camera Performance
For photography, the POCO X8 Power features a 50MP primary camera with OIS. In daylight, the main sensor captures detailed images with natural-looking colours.
Low-light performance is also reasonably impressive for the segment, with limited noise in many situations. The dedicated night mode can brighten darker scenes, although the processing can sometimes make the images look more illuminated than they actually were.
The 8MP ultrawide camera is useful for capturing wider scenes, although there is a noticeable reduction in fine details compared with the primary sensor.
For selfies and video calls, the phone features a 32MP front camera. Portraits and videos are clear, but the beautification processing remains noticeable even when the effect is reduced. Users looking for completely natural-looking selfies may find this processing slightly excessive.
Video recording on the main camera goes up to 4K at 30fps, with stable footage during regular use.

Gaming Performance
The POCO X8 Power Review also puts the phone through gaming workloads. For casual and mid-level gaming, the Snapdragon chipset performs well.
Games such as BGMI can run at up to 90fps, while thermal management remains under control during sessions of around 30 minutes. Less demanding titles also run comfortably.
More graphics-intensive games can be played by lowering the graphical settings. However, dedicated gaming enthusiasts may notice that the phone does not use a specialised gaming-focused chipset. For everyday gaming, though, its performance is more than adequate.
10,000mAh Battery Is the Biggest Highlight
Battery life is where the POCO X8 Power really separates itself from most smartphones in its segment. The handset packs a massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery.
With heavy multitasking, the phone can comfortably deliver around two days of usage. With lighter activities such as social media browsing and calling, the battery can potentially stretch beyond three days.
Video playback is particularly impressive. A one-hour YouTube session can consume only around 3% battery under the tested conditions, making the device suitable for users who spend long hours consuming content.
Charging is handled by a 100W HyperCharge adapter. In testing, the phone took roughly an hour to move from 20% to a full charge.
The handset also supports 27W wired reverse charging, allowing it to function as a power source for other compatible devices.
Display, Audio and Connectivity
The smartphone comes with a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate. Support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision makes the screen particularly suitable for watching movies and streaming content.
Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos further improve the multimedia experience.
Connectivity options include 5G and Wi-Fi 5, while the in-display fingerprint sensor responds quickly during regular use.
The 32MP front camera handles video calls well. There is also a 400% audio boost option, although pushing it to maximum levels can introduce some distortion. Keeping the feature around half strength provides a more balanced experience.
POCO X8 Power Review: Is It Worth Buying?
The POCO X8 Power Review makes it clear that this smartphone is primarily aimed at users who value battery endurance above everything else. Its 10,000mAh battery, 100W charging, capable display, durable build and long software-support promise make it an appealing option.
At Rs 35,999, the phone also offers a strong combination of performance and endurance for the price. The additional weight, bulky feel and large amount of pre-installed software are its main drawbacks.
Overall, the POCO X8 Power Review suggests that this is a particularly strong choice for heavy smartphone users who want multiple days of battery life, a bright AMOLED display, reliable everyday performance and long-term durability. If extreme battery endurance is your top priority, the POCO X8 Power deserves serious consideration in the mid-range segment.
