Poco may unveil the Poco X8 series globally in March, according to recent reports. This time, the lineup is said to skip a standard Poco X8 variant and instead include the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max models. Ahead of the expected launch, the Poco X8 Pro appears to be actively securing regulatory approvals, suggesting that the announcement could be close.

Poco X8 Pro RRA certified in South Korea

The latest development confirms that the Poco X8 Pro, which bears the model number 2511FPC34G, was approved by South Korea’s RRA platform back in December 2025. The listing identifies the device as a smartphone manufactured by Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd., and also mentions its SAR value of 0.863 / 1.6 W/kg. While the certification does not disclose hardware specifications, such approvals typically indicate that the device is nearing commercial availability.

The Poco X8 Pro has previously surfaced in other regulatory databases as well. The device was earlier spotted on Thailand’s NBTC certification platform and the EEC database in Europe. Notably, the Thailand certification revealed the existence of a Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition, suggesting that Poco may introduce both a standard and a special edition variant at launch. Both versions are expected to share the same model number, indicating similar hardware configurations with possible cosmetic or software differences.

Poco X8 Pro specifications (rumored)

The Poco X8 Pro is expected to feature a 6.59-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a balance between performance and visual clarity. Under the hood, the device is rumoured to be powered by the Dimensity 8500 chipset, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for improved performance and faster data handling. The phone may arrive with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

In terms of cameras, leaks suggest a 20-megapixel front-facing camera along with a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Fast charging support of up to 90W is also expected, allowing quick top-ups for heavy users.

The device is widely believed to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5. However, while the Redmi Turbo 5 includes a 7,560mAh battery, the Poco X8 Pro is likely to pack a smaller battery with around 6,500mAh capacity.
