According to a new leak, the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max will debut globally next week.

The teaser for the phones has already started in India. While the page shows a partial design for the series, it doesn’t specify the launch date for the phones (though the page’s URL says “Coming Soon March 26”).
