If you’ve been keeping up with the POCO X8 series, then you’d be aware that the lineup has been steadily growing, with the X8s making an appearance in some markets not too long ago. Now, the smartphone has arrived on our shores, serving as the compact but still capable option.

Starting with the design, it sports a micro-curved aluminum frame and glass back, which according to the Xiaomi sub-brand provides a smooth and comfortable feel. The device measures 8.06mm thick and weighs 187g, making it a touch thinner and lighter than its siblings.
