What’s new
The Poco X8s is a compact 5G phone from Poco. FoneArena says it pairs a 6.35-inch display with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, IP68 protection and a 6,330mAh battery. Gizmochina says it launched quietly in Vietnam. No hands-on or review coverage exists yet, so everything here is the maker’s spec sheet as reported by the two outlets.
- FoneArena reports a 6.35-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display (1–120Hz) with peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits, in a body 8.06mm thick and 187g.
- FoneArena says the 6,330mAh battery uses silicon-carbon chemistry with 16% silicon, with 100W wired charging and 22.5W wired reverse charging.
- FoneArena lists an IP68 rating and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. It says the phone ships with HyperOS 3.0 on Android 16.
- FoneArena gives early-bird global pricing of USD 399 (8GB+256GB) and USD 499 (12GB+512GB). Gizmochina lists Vietnam pre-orders at VND 11,500,000 (~$440) and VND 14,000,000 (~$530).
- Gizmochina says Vietnam pre-orders ship between November 6 and November 9, and early buyers get a free pair of Redmi Buds 6 Play, subject to availability.

What reviews will need to show
- Which camera setup the phone actually has: FoneArena lists a 50MP main, 50MP telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide. Gizmochina mentions only the main and ultra-wide, and says the main camera setup hasn’t been reported consistently.
- Which spec details are correct where the outlets differ: Gizmochina lists UFS 4.0 storage, a 32MP front camera and Wi-Fi 7. FoneArena lists a 20MP front camera and Wi-Fi 6/6E, and its spec list gives a different storage type from Gizmochina. FoneArena’s own spec list also shows a 6.59-inch screen and a different main-camera aperture from its article text.
- Whether the 3D IceLoop cooling system, which Poco says holds performance under sustained workloads, does so in long gaming or heavy-use tests.
- Whether the 6,330mAh battery gives strong real-world endurance in a body this small, and whether the 100W charging speed holds up in testing.
- How the final price compares across markets, since FoneArena’s USD early-bird prices and Gizmochina’s Vietnam prices (with launch vouchers) differ.
