POCO is preparing to launch its next high-performance smartphone the POCO X8 Ultra 5G, expected to debut in late 2025. As the top-end variant of the X8 series, this phone will likely carry flagship-grade hardware at a mid-premium price. With the inclusion of Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a 144Hz curved AMOLED display, and a 120W fast-charging battery, the POCO X8 Ultra 5G aims to compete with the likes of iQOO Neo 9 Pro, Redmi K80 Pro, and OnePlus Nord Ultra.
Sleek Curved Display with 144Hz Refresh Rate
The POCO X8 Ultra 5G is rumored to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K curved AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and up to 2,000 nits brightness. The bezels are expected to be ultra-thin, with a center punch-hole design and Gorilla Glass protection. This display setup ensures buttery-smooth scrolling, high-end gaming visuals, and immersive video playback.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 & LPDDR5X RAM for Blazing Performance
The phone will likely be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. This configuration places the X8 Ultra squarely in the performance flagship category, promising smooth multitasking, pro-level gaming, and quick app loading. The phone will ship with HyperOS based on Android 14, optimized for fluid animations and better battery management.
Triple Camera with 200MP Main Sensor & OIS
Camera leaks suggest the POCO X8 Ultra 5G will feature a 200MP Samsung HPX primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro/depth sensor. The front may sport a 32MP high-resolution selfie camera. Features like 4K recording, AI-enhanced portraits, slow motion, and night mode are expected to be part of the camera package, making it a strong contender in the photography game.
Battery, Charging & Additional Features
The phone is expected to house a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging, capable of topping up the phone in under 25 minutes. Additional features may include IP54 splash resistance, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, X-axis linear motor, and IR blaster, maintaining POCO’s tradition of offering complete flagship-like utility.
POCO X8 Ultra 5G India Launch & Price Expectation
The POCO X8 Ultra 5G is likely to launch in Q4 2025, with an estimated price range of ₹33,999 to ₹37,999 in India. It will directly rival premium mid-range devices like the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, Realme GT Neo 6, and OnePlus Nord Ultra, while delivering flagship specs at a competitive price. With its powerful processor, ultra-fast charging, stunning AMOLED display, and high-resolution camera, the POCO X8 Ultra 5G could be one of the most value-packed performance phones of the year.
