Poco M8 Pro: Impressive Battery, Key Features, Certification Details and Expected Launch

Poco M8 Pro is set to lead POCO’s gradual expansion of its portfolio within the international markets. The brand has just unveiled the flagship F8 lineup, but now it is preparing to refresh its mid-range segment, starting with the Poco M8 Pro that will be released in the future. The US FCC and IMEI databases have already located a new POCO device with the model number of 2510EPC8BG, which is an indication that the M8 Pro is getting closer to the launching date.

The device will succeed last year’s Poco M7 Pro, which entered the Indian market at a starting price of ₹13,999. It is not clear whether POCO will be able to continue offering such aggressive prices in the year, but even first-time listings already show significant changes - particularly in terms of battery capacity, charging speeds and connectivity.

Poco M8 Pro Battery Upgrade

The most interesting feature of the Poco M8 Pro, which has surfaced through the FCC is its large battery. The certification details reveal that its rated battery capacity is 6,330mAh, which should translate to a typical capacity of 6,500mAh.

This will be a rise of over 1,000mAh against the M7 Pro. Due to its significantly improved battery life compared to the previous model, the device will be a great powerhouse for gamers, binge-watchers, and heavy users.

Poco M8 Pro Charging Features

This is supported by the FCC listing that confirms that it supports 100W fast charging with the inclusion of the charger as a bundled product with model number MDY-19-EX. This is over twice the capability of the M7 Pro of 45W.

This significant leap implies that the smartphone may even be able to quickly acquire charging capabilities and within a few minutes, the device may be close to complete fullness, having acquired the qualities of a high-speed charge into the middle-range segment.

Poco M8 Pro Specs

The specifications indicate that it has several storage variants, which allow it to be flexible depending on the users:

• 8GB + 256GB
• 12GB + 256GB
• 12GB + 512GB

Connectivity features are as follows::

• 5G support
• Wi-Fi 6E dual-band
• Bluetooth
• NFC
• USB-C
• IR Blaster

These improvements render the device a smartphone of tomorrow with good connectivity features to the high-end users.

Poco M8 Pro Features

According to initial leaks and expectations of the segment, Poco M8 Pro features lineup might include the following:

Display

• 6.67-inch IPS screen
• 1080 × 2460 resolution
• 396 ppi
• 120Hz refresh rate
• 240Hz touch sampling rate
• 1300 nits peak brightness
• Punch-hole display

Cameras

• 50MP + 8MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup
• 1080p recording at 30fps
• 16MP front camera

Performance

• MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset
• Octa-core 2.5GHz processor
• Hybrid microSD support up to 1TB

These specifications indicate that POCO is trying to make the M series competitive through a balance of performance, display quality, and battery life.

Poco M8 Pro Software

The listings indicate to a surprisingly low expectation that Poco M8 Pro is powered by HyperOS 2 on the Arm Android 15 platform, despite HyperOS 3 being already present on newer Xiaomi devices.
Although this may be disappointing to the user who would expect new software on the box, POCO can release a new update shortly after the launch.

Poco M8 Pro Launch Timeline

The Poco M8 Pro launch date is not announced, yet various certifications show that the Smartphone is literally right before its release. It has already passed through:

• FCC (USA
• IMEI database
• TDRA (UAE)
• IMDA (Singapore)

With multiple approvals in place, the launch appears imminent. An India release is also highly likely, following POCO’s usual release strategy. In the sub-₹20,000 segment, it is expected to compete with devices like the iQOO Z10x and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
