The POCO M8s 5G, younger sibling of M8 Pro, enters the budget mid-range category as a no-compromise daily driver built for users who want smooth performance, a stunning display, and all-day battery life in one affordable package. Powering the experience is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 (6 nm) octa-core chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage that is expandable further via microSD card. The software side runs on Android 15 with HyperOS 2, offering a clean look UI, feature-rich interface that keeps things intuitive and up to date.
The M8s 5G makes an immediate impression with its large 6.9-inch IPS LCD display running at a fluid 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth scrolling, gaming, and media playback. On the camera, the 50-megapixels main shooter handles everyday photography and video recording with solid detail in FHD resolution, while the 8 MP front camera also delivers clean selfies and video calls.
The massive 7000 mAh battery is one of the largest available in the mid-range segment, easily powering through a full day of heavy use. It recharges quickly with 33W wired fast charging, while 18W reverse wired charging lets you share power with other devices, effectively acting as a powerbank.
