Design and build

The phone measures 163.3 x 78.3 x 8.3mm and weighs 206g. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is impressive at this price, and the back uses fibre-reinforced plastic. It carries IP68 and IP69K ratings, so it resists dust, immersion and high-pressure water jets. Colours are Black, Green and Silver.

Display

The 6.83-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 1280 x 2772 pixels and refreshes at up to 120Hz. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Brightness reaches 1800 nits in high brightness mode and 3200 nits at peak, so it stays readable outdoors. Xiaomi uses 3840Hz PWM dimming to reduce flicker.

Performance and software

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is a capable 4nm chip with an Adreno 810 GPU. It handles social media, streaming and popular games smoothly. You can choose 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. There is no memory card slot. The phone launched with HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, and Xiaomi lists up to four major Android upgrades.

Cameras

The main camera uses a 50MP sensor with a bright f/1.6 aperture, dual-pixel autofocus and optical stabilisation. That combination helps in low light. An 8MP ultrawide covers wider scenes. The 32MP front camera records 1080p video at up to 60fps.

Battery and charging

A 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery gives long battery life. Charging is very fast at 100W wired, reaching 100% in about 40 minutes. You can also share power with other devices using 22.5W reverse wired charging.

Connectivity

The phone supports 5G, including the n77 and n78 bands, so it works on Nigerian 5G networks. It has Wi-Fi 6 or 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and USB-C. NFC depends on the market. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos improve sound. An optical in-display fingerprint sensor handles unlocking. There is no headphone jack.

Tips for new owners

After setup, update HyperOS to get the latest features and security fixes. Use the original 100W charger for the fastest charging. Turn on battery protection in the settings if available, so the battery stays healthy for longer. Enable Dolby Atmos for better speaker sound. Since there is no memory card slot, choose 512GB if you shoot lots of video, or back up regularly to the cloud.

What to check before you buy

Before buying, choose the storage size carefully, because you cannot add a memory card. Check whether NFC is enabled in your market. Confirm the phone is a global version with Google services. Make sure the IMEI matches the box and that the 100W charger is included. Test 5G on your network. Buy from an authorised Xiaomi or Poco seller and keep the receipt.

How it compares

Compared with the Infinix Note 60 Pro, which uses the same Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, the Poco M8 Pro offers stronger water protection, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and faster 100W charging. The Infinix adds wireless charging, an aluminium back and a rear mini display. Choose Poco for toughness and charging speed.
