The POCO M8 Power 5G is a highly specialized device that prioritizes endurance above all else. Its defining feature is a colossal 8000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which not only guarantees multi-day uptime but allows the phone to double as a power bank via its impressive 22.5W reverse wired charging. However, housing such a massive cell results in a hefty 225g plastic chassis measuring 8.45mm thick.
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage provides adequate, if aging, mid-range performance. The most glaring compromise is the software: launching in 2026 with Android 13 and zero promised updates is a severe liability for security and longevity.
Multimedia capabilities are similarly basic. The 6.67-inch IPS LCD offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate but peaks at a dim 550 nits, making outdoor visibility a challenge. The camera system is barebones, featuring a small 1/2.76-inch 50MP main sensor without OIS, capping video recording at a mere 1080p at 30fps. Ultimately, this is a niche tool rather than an all-rounder—perfect for off-grid workers or those needing a resilient 5G hotspot, but difficult to recommend for everyday consumers wanting modern software and capable cameras.
114 verified specification points across 17 categories.
The overall 5.9 is built from ten category scores. Here is the reason behind each one, tied to this phone's own figures.
Despite our efforts to keep the POCO POCO M8 Power 5G specifications complete and correct, mistakes get through. If you see anything wrong or missing on this page, please— every report is read, and corrections are made to the record itself.
The device supports 45W wired charging via the PD3.0 standard to refill its massive 8000mAh battery, and a compatible charger is included in the box. It also supports 22.5W reverse wired charging to power other devices.
It carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is not rated for full submersion in water.
The spec sheet indicates zero years of OS updates and zero years of security updates. Alarmingly, the device launches with the heavily outdated Android 13 operating system.
No. The 50MP main camera lacks Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and is strictly capped at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second, making it unsuitable for high-quality or smooth video capture.
Yes, the phone supports storage expansion via a microSDXC card, though it uses a shared SIM slot, meaning you cannot use two Nano-SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously.
It offers excellent value only if battery life and reverse charging are your top priorities. For general users, the outdated Android 13 software, dim 550-nit LCD, and basic 1080p cameras make it a poor value compared to more balanced budget rivals.
