Emir BardakçıXiaomi has committed a major blunder. The company accidentally published the campaign page for the highly anticipated POCO X8 Pro series on its Belgium/Netherlands website, revealing everything from European pricing to storage options before the official launch.
European Pricing & Storage
The leak confirms that POCO is maintaining its aggressive pricing strategy, despite massive hardware upgrades.
POCO X8 Pro
- 8GB + 256GB: €399.90
- 8GB + 512GB: €449.90
- 12GB + 512GB: €479.90
POCO X8 Pro Max
- 12GB + 256GB: €529.90
- 12GB + 512GB: €579.90
(The POCO X8 Pro was also used in the POCO X8 Pro Max picture)
The Specs: Rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 Twins
Based on the leaked specs and their Chinese counterparts (Redmi Turbo 5 series), we now know exactly what powers these beasts.
POCO X8 Pro (The Balanced Fighter)
- China Twin: REDMI Turbo 5

Colors & Design
The leaked campaign images specifically showcased the standard POCO X8 Pro in three color options:
- Light Blue
- White
- Black
However, the POCO X8 Pro Max remains a bit of a mystery visually. While the iconic POCO Yellow (or Orange) is expected, it was not confirmed in this specific leak.
With an 8550mAh battery and a 3nm processor for under €600, the POCO X8 Pro Max is shaping up to be the undisputed battery king of Europe in 2026.
Why is it so expensive. I live in malaysia and its more expensive than poco f8 pro!?
It’s very expensive. If this is really the case, it will be the most worthless phone of this company, so Poco F7 is much better than this.
Prices have risen again if you are not aware, and this is just the beginning
