Poco X8 can do something no other sub-$350 smartphone can do. It can provide a near 30-hour battery life to users. In other words, it can run for almost one whole day.
Poco X8 battery life beats Motorola Moto G77 by 10 hours
Battery endurance is a lot better than in previous generations and major competition. We believe Poco X8 to be a decent choice for users that want a smartphone to run long without having to charge it all the time. Rather than the top performance, they want endurance.
Specifications
- Screen Size: 6.8-inch
- Display Type: AMOLED/OLED
- Brightness (Everyday): 1,000 nits
- Brightness (HDR): 4,000 cd/m²
- PWM Frequency: 125 Hz
Xiaomi bills Poco X8 as a value-oriented smartphone that emphasizes its huge power reserves and the bright display. It has a big, 6.8-inch OLED screen that delivers high brightness values for SDR and HDR content. The smartphone caters to consumers who want to have both the decent display quality and a day-long battery life on a budget.
The Poco X8's display has some details on paper such as 1,000 nits of peak brightness (normal conditions) and up to 4,000 cd/m² for HDR content (small lit areas). However, it features 125 Hz PWM that can be straining for sensitive users, even with the 3,000 Hz DC dimming. Color accuracy can be off by up to 6.86 DeltaE. Reds can look a bit too saturated.
Poco X8 features a big, 8,340 mAh battery that can deliver almost 30 hours of use in our Wi-Fi battery test. It can do a lot better than Motorola Moto G77 (just 20 hours) and even a lot better than its predecessor Poco X7 which can only deliver over 40 percent less battery life (17.5 hours). The Poco X8 costs around US$ 340.
The Poco X8 proves that even mid-range smartphones can go for huge batteries. It's an attractive option for buyers who care about screen-on time and high brightness. On the other hand, its color accuracy and PWM are something that some people should be aware of.
