Why This Phone
Mid-Range

The Poco X8 is defined by its massive battery and rugged build quality, which are standout features for its class. However, the performance score is estimated from the entry-level chipset class alone, and the camera system is significantly limited by the lack of secondary lenses and restricted video resolution. Given the $417 price point, the value is hampered by the disparity between its premium display/build and its budget-tier internal processing and camera hardware.
