The Poco X8 5G could soon arrive, as suggested by the brand’s recent teaser.
The news dispels the earlier rumor that the phone might be absent from the series this year. While the brand didn’t explicitly state that the post was about the vanilla model, earlier certification listings indicated it could indeed be the said phone.
The company has yet to reveal the details of the device, but it is believed to be a rebadged model of the Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G in China.
