The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The POCO M8 combines a vivid 120Hz AMOLED display, IP66 protection and broad connectivity, while its 45W charging and USB 2.0 feel less ambitious.
What is good
- 6.77-inch AMOLED display offers 120Hz, HDR, and 3200-nit peak brightness.
- IP66 protection and 178g weight make the 7.35mm body practical.
- 5G, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, and dual-SIM support broaden connectivity.
What is not
- 45W charging is modest for the 5520 mAh battery.
- USB Type-C 2.0 limits wired data-transfer capability.
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 delivers only mid-range performance.
