India Today
The Poco X8 Pro series is set to launch in India today, and ahead of the official announcement, alleged pricing details of the lineup have surfaced online. According to the leak, the series could carry a starting price of over Rs 30,000 in India with bank offers.
Poco is gearing up to launch its X8 Pro series today at 5:30 PM. The Xiaomi spin-off has already teased key specifications and features of the devices on a dedicated microsite on Flipkart — with pricing being the only detail yet to be revealed. However, thanks to a fresh leak, the pricing details have now surfaced online ahead of the official launch.
The Poco X8 Pro series could comprise three devices: The Poco X8 Pro, the Poco X8 Pro Max and the Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition.
Tipster Paras Guglani, who goes by the handle @passionategkeez on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that the Poco X8 Pro is expected to start at Rs 33,999 for the base 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, while the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model may be priced at Rs 37,999.
The Poco X8 Pro Max is tipped to start at Rs 41,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration, with the higher 12GB RAM and 512GB storage variant coming in at Rs 45,999.
As for the Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition, the tipster suggests it could be priced at Rs 43,999, though launch offers may bring it down to Rs 40,999. Additionally, a Rs 3,000 bank discount is said to be on the table for all models at launch.
It is worth noting that compared to last year's Poco X7 Pro, which started at Rs 26,999, the X8 Pro series represents a notable price jump — likely driven by rising component costs.
