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
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra (4nm)

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.
