Poco has already confirmed that it’s launching the X8 and X8 Power in India on September 4, following a mega leak that basically outed all of their specs. The brand has even confirmed that the X8 Power will have a 10,000 mAh battery, while the X8 will pack a 9,000 mAh cell.
One thing that hasn’t been outed yet is the pricing we should expect. Now, courtesy of a different source, we get rumored price ranges for both of the models. The Poco X8 will allegedly be in the INR 28,000 to INR 30,000 ($292 to $313) range, while the X8 Power will be about INR 35,000 ($365). Rumor has it the former will be a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro, while the latter is a rebranded Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, mostly. There may still be some small differences here and there.
