POCO is launching the M8 Power 5G in India today at 12 PM IST. The phone goes on sale via Flipkart and represents the biggest battery in POCO’s M-series lineup to date. At 8,000mAh, POCO claims the phone can last up to three days on a single charge.
8000mAh Battery Is the Headline Feature
The standard POCO M8 shipped with a 5,520mAh cell. The M8 Power bumps that up by nearly 45% to 8,000mAh. POCO positions this as a “binge” phone, targeting users who stream video, play games, and scroll social media heavily. The 45W fast charging support means the massive battery doesn’t take forever to top up, though POCO hasn’t shared exact charge time numbers yet.
Specs and Hardware
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 4
- Display: 7.0-inch AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate
- Camera: 50MP primary, 8MP front
- Battery: 8,000mAh, 45W fast charging
- OS: Android 16 with HyperOS
- Rating: IP65 dust and water resistance
- Connectivity: 5G, NFC, USB-C, IR Blaster
- RAM/Storage: 6GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB options
The 7.0-inch AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate is a notable inclusion at this price point. Most phones under Rs 20,000 still ship with LCD panels. The Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 handles daily tasks and light gaming without issues, though it’s not a chipset built for heavy gaming workloads.
Pricing and Availability
The 6GB + 128GB variant starts at Rs 19,999, while the 8GB + 128GB version costs Rs 21,999. Both are Flipkart exclusives. POCO has confirmed Black, Silver, and Orange color options. The orange variant has been the promotional hero color leading up to launch.
How It Compares
At Rs 19,999, the POCO M8 Power competes with the Realme P4 Power 5G (Rs 27,999), Redmi Note 17 5G (Rs 34,990), and OnePlus N6x (Rs 22,999). The M8 Power undercuts all of them on price while offering the largest battery in the segment. The tradeoff is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4, which is a tier below the Dimensity 7360 and Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 found in competing phones.
For users who prioritize battery life over raw performance, the M8 Power is hard to ignore. A phone that genuinely lasts three days on a single charge eliminates the daily charging routine entirely.
