The Poco X8 has been spotted on the NBTC website in Thailand and the IMDA database in Singapore, signaling that the mid-range smartphone is gearing up for a global launch. The NBTC listing reveals the model number 2607DPC18G and certification number B38497-26, along with support for GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and NR networks — confirming 5G connectivity.
Separately, the same model number appeared on the IMDA certification platform, which adds Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC connectivity to the list of confirmed features. These certifications are typically obtained only when a device is in the final stages of preparation for market release, making them strong indicators of an imminent launch.
Expected Specifications and Market Plans
While the listings do not reveal full specifications, rumors suggest the Poco X8 will feature a 50-megapixel primary rear camera paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. India is expected to be among the first markets to receive the device, with a potential launch within the current quarter.
There are also reports that the Poco X8 could be based on the Redmi Note 17 Pro, which launched in China earlier this month. Poco has followed a similar rebadging strategy with several previous models, though the company has not officially confirmed any connection.
India as a Key Market
India has historically been a crucial market for Poco’s X-series lineup, and industry experts believe the Poco X8 will arrive in the country shortly after its global debut. For now, the company is keeping the processor, display, battery, and pricing details under wraps, with more information expected closer to the official announcement.
The successive certifications make one thing clear: the Poco X8 is ready to enter the market, and the wait may not be much longer.
