POCO's X8 series has a new compact model: the POCO X8s. The smartphone has appeared on a Vietnamese retail listing with a 6.35-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, and a 6,330mAh battery. Its combination of a smaller screen and high-capacity battery could appeal to people who want a relatively compact phone without giving up key features.
The device is listed in Vietnam in two memory configurations. However, buyers in India should note that an Indian launch has not been confirmed.

Compact 6.35-Inch OLED Display
The POCO X8s features a 6.35-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Its compact size could make the phone easier to handle with one hand than many larger smartphones.
The display is also listed with a peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits. Actual visibility and smoothness will depend on usage conditions and supported content.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Processor
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 powers the device. The listed configurations include up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. This hardware should suit everyday applications, multitasking, and supported mobile games, although independent performance tests are needed to assess real-world results.
6,330mAh Battery With 100W Charging
Battery capacity is one of the phone's main highlights. The 6,330mAh battery is paired with 100W wired fast charging. The phone is also reported to support 22.5W wired reverse charging, allowing it to charge compatible devices through a suitable cable.
Actual battery life and charging time will depend on factors such as screen brightness, network conditions, temperature, and charger compatibility.
Camera Features and Durability
The listed camera setup includes a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera on the rear, along with a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The phone also carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance under specified test conditions. This does not make it completely waterproof.
POCO X8s Price and Availability
The Vietnamese listing shows two configurations:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage: VND 11,500,000, approximately ₹42,000.
- 12GB RAM + 512GB storage: VND 14,000,000, approximately ₹51,000.
These are approximate currency conversions, not confirmed Indian prices. Promotional vouchers may reduce the effective price for eligible buyers in Vietnam.
Will the POCO X8s Launch in India?
As of this report, POCO has not confirmed an India launch or Indian pricing for the X8s. The appearance of a phone on a Vietnamese retail listing does not guarantee that it will be released in every market.
Is the POCO X8s Launch Officially Confirmed?
The phone's specifications and pricing have appeared on Vietnamese retail listings and have been reported by technology publications. However, its wider international availability and India launch remain unconfirmed. Readers should distinguish between a regional listing, an available pre-order, and an official launch announcement for their own market.
HammidaTech's Take
The POCO X8s stands out on paper for combining a compact 6.35-inch OLED display with a 6,330mAh battery and 100W charging. These features could make it interesting for users who prefer smaller phones. Its overall value will depend on real-world performance, camera quality, battery life, and whether POCO brings it to India at a competitive price.
