POCO brings POCO M8s 5G to the Philippines this April, introducing a new device with a massive battery, a striking display, and dependable performance built for longer days and more immersive everyday use.
For users familiar with POCO's C-series as an accessible starting point, POCO M8s 5G marks a stronger move into the M-series, pairing bigger everyday power with a more elevated viewing experience and stronger value during its exclusive Early Bird window.
Two-Day Battery Life Engineered to Last
At the core of POCO M8s 5G's user experience is a massive 7,000mAh battery built for longer days of classes, commutes, work, and entertainment, capable of delivering up to 2-day battery life¹ on a single charge. Even at just 1% battery, users can still enjoy up to 59 minutes of calls or 7.5 hours of standby time,² ensuring they stay connected when it matters most. Delivering long-life battery support for extended daily use, POCO M8s 5G's battery retains 80% capacity or more even after 1,600 full charge cycles.
POCO M8s 5G supports 33W fast charging⁴ for rapid top-ups, and 18W reverse charging. The Smart charging engine 2.0 is designed to further enhance the charging experience and extend battery life.
Immersive Cinema-View Display Meets Refined Design
Elevating every visual moment on POCO M8s 5G is an immersive 6.7-inch 1.5K display built for sharper detail, more immersive entertainment, and a smoother everyday viewing experience. To support more comfortable viewing and reduce eye strain during long-term screen use, POCO M8s 5G has also received triple TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications. Wet Touch Technology 2.0 also ensures reliable touch responsiveness even with wet or oily fingers.
Beyond the immersive screen, POCO M8s 5G blends smooth curves inspired by nature to create a clean, timeless design. Available in Black and White, it also carries a refined dual-tone look that adds style to its everyday utility. It also features a quad-curved back with a metal-crafted camera deco for a premium look.
Smooth Performance Meets Every Demand
Powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, POCO M8s 5G delivers reliable everyday performance that makes the step up from the C-series to the M-series feel even more rewarding. With up to 16GB RAM via memory extension and up to 2TB of expandable storage, users can enjoy smoother operation and store their favorite media content with ease. Running on Xiaomi HyperOS, POCO M8s 5G supports intelligent features such as Google Gemini and Circle to Search with Google, enabling faster access to information and smarter everyday interactions.
POCO M8s 5G's 50MP AI dual camera system empowers users to capture clear and vibrant images in diverse styles across a wide range of environments. Creative AI tools, including AI Erase and AI Sky, make it easier than ever to enhance photos, unlocking new possibilities for everyday creativity.
Other practical features include 200% volume boost support for immersive sound, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for fast and secure unlocking, and IP64 dust and water resistance¹⁴ to overcome everyday challenges with ease.
