POCO M8 and M8 Pro appear as rebranded REDMI Note 15 models

Where POCO is all set to extend its global smartphone lineup with POCO M8 and POCO M8 Pro, new leaks have now exposed official-looking images with early technical details. The devices positioned as affordable mid-range models based on Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Note lineup, according to information provided to WinFuture. Just like earlier generations, it seems POCO is all set to target value-oriented users with competitive specifications, large batteries, and fast charging. This follows off the heels of recent POCO roadmap leaks that have previously surfaced on XiaomiTime.com, along with POCO M8 series.

POCO M8 Pro: Focal Point at Big Display and Quick Charging

The more refined model is rumored to be the POCO M8 Pro. It reportedly sports a 6.83-inch display with an impressive resolution of 2772 × 1280 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, plus a smooth visual feature, making it right for daily use and media consumption. Under the hood, this phone uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset-a modern octa-core platform that’s positioned to balance performance and efficiency in the upper mid-range class.

Memory configurations would include 8GB or 12GB of RAM, coming in various combinations with 256GB or 512GB internal storage. Among other highlights would be the inclusion of a 6,500mAh battery that supports up to 100W fast charging. As for durability, an IP68 rating for resisting dust and water is also expected on the POCO M8 Pro.

POCO M8: Balanced Specs for Everyday Use

The regular POCO M8 addresses customers looking for a more budget-friendly variant without sacrificing the core features of modern smartphones. It’s expected to come with a slightly smaller 6.77-inch display and will be pushed by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset. This platform is obviously less powerful than the Pro, but still adequate for everyday tasks, social media, and multimedia.

It is expected to come equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The battery capacity is listed as 5,520mAh, with support for 45W fast charging. Unlike the Pro model, the POCO M8 is said to boast an IP65 rating, which suggests basic protection against dust and water splashes rather than full submersion resistance.

Launch Timeline and Market Positioning

If the latest information is to be believed, Xiaomi will unveil the POCO M8 series soon. Price details are not known for now, but judging by the positioning, these should be reasonably priced mid-range phones destined for worldwide markets. Given that both phones have been benchmarked and identified to run Android 15 HyperOS 2.2 out of the box, similar to other recent POCO M-series phones, they shall also ship with Xiaomi HyperOS.

Familiar Redmi Roots with a POCO Identity

It is not a new sight to see that the POCO M8 series, just like in previous generations, has a close connection with Redmi smartphones sold in China. Particularly, here, POCO M8 and POCO M8 Pro are redesigns of Redmi Note 15 and Redmi Note 15 Pro+, respectively, targeted for global markets. While the core hardware remains the same, POCO slaps its own branding elements, color options, and market positioning to make them much more relevant to international audiences.

Listings of various certification from different regions have, in fact, already confirmed such a relation, further establishing the fact that the POCO M8 series is also a part of Xiaomi’s greater strategy to reuse proven platforms across different brands. Given this strategy, POCO can continue with aggressive pricing while benefiting from Xiaomi’s mature supply chain and software ecosystem built around Xiaomi HyperOS.
