Known for offering performance-heavy devices at competitive prices, Poco’s latest offering has already appeared on a Flipkart microsite, revealing key specifications and a premium design language.

Stunning 3D Curved Display

The Poco M8 5G aims to provide a flagship-grade visual experience with its 6.77-inch 3D curved display. The screen is designed for smoothness and outdoor visibility, featuring:

A standout feature is the software commitment; Poco has announced that the device will receive four years of Android updates. Out of the box, it will run on HyperOS 2, based on the latest Android 15.

Memory and Storage Variants

The Poco M8 5G offers significant flexibility in terms of memory. While it comes with up to 8GB of physical RAM, it supports virtual expansion up to 16GB. The storage options are expected to cater to heavy users:
