More Poco M8 Pro details leak, it seems to be a rebranded Redmi | Infinium-tech

Poco is rumored to once again unveil the M8 Pro in January, and today a new rumor from a tipster over at X claims to shed more light on what we should expect from the device. According to this source, the Poco M8 Pro will be identical to the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ in every way.

The main difference will be in the camera department, where, the tipster says, “Poco swaps the 200MP 4x optical zoom periscope telephoto camera for a 50MP main camera on the rear”. This doesn’t make much sense – how can you replace the telephoto camera with the main camera?

So we’re not sure what to make of this – will the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ actually have a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom? We would call it unlikely. But, that bit of confusion aside, it looks like the Poco M8 Pro will have a 50MP main snapper on the back.

It is also said to have a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with “1.5K” resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, and will run on Android 15 with HyperOS 2. It’s incredibly disappointing to see that Android 16 has been out since June and Xiaomi is already updating its phones to HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

Anyway, the Poco M8 Pro is reportedly going to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 SoC, paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Along with a 50MP main camera, there will be an 8MP ultrawide camera on the back, while there will be a 32MP snapper for selfies.

The phone packs a 6,500 mAh battery with 100W fast charging support, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, an IR blaster, NFC, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
