For the Chilean user, there are two things that are non-negotiable in a cell phone: that the battery lasts all day (even sharing internet or playing games) and that the phone doesn't "freeze" when we demand the maximum from it.
Today we have fresh news from the certification and performance databases. The upcoming POCO X8 Pro has appeared on Geekbench , leaving a trail of impressive performance, and battery capacities have been leaked for both the Pro model and the mysterious Pro Max .
At GSMPRO.CL , we analyze these cold, hard numbers to translate them into real-world experiences. Is the generational leap worth it? Everything indicates that it is.
The numbers don't lie: The X8 Pro is here to dominate.
Geekbench Revealed: What processor does the POCO X8 Pro have?
The leaked Geekbench test shows a POCO device with Single-Core and Multi-Core performance that far surpasses the X6 and X7 series.
The suspect: MediaTek Dimensity 8400 (or equivalent)
The scores suggest that POCO will again opt for MediaTek's high-end series (possibly a Dimensity 8400 Ultra) or a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 series.
- Multitasking: With high Multi-Core scores, this device can edit video in CapCut, have Spotify playing in the background, and navigate Waze without closing applications.
- Gaming: The GPU associated with these chipsets ensures that games like Genshin Impact or Warzone Mobile run at High quality at a stable 60 FPS, something critical for GSMPRO's gaming audience.
Battery Leak: Goodbye to 5000mAh
Perhaps the most significant leak concerns battery capacity. According to certification reports, POCO is adopting new high-density battery technology.
| Model | Filtered Capacity | Fast Charging (Estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| POCO X8 Pro | 5500 mAh - 6000 mAh | 67W / 90W |
| POCO X8 Pro Max | 6000 mAh - 6500 mAh | 120W |
What does this mean for you? If the leaks are true, the POCO X8 Pro Max could easily offer two days of use . This is ideal for those who travel long distances in Chile or work all day away from home. The era of 5000mAh as the standard is over; 6000mAh is the new king.
The Security of Buying Your POCO in Chile
With such high specifications, many users are tempted to import directly. However, at GSMPRO.CL we give you compelling reasons to wait for our stock:
- Homologation: Forget about registering the IMEI. Our devices come ready to use with a SIM card from Entel, WOM, Claro, or Movistar.
- Local Warranty: If the battery fails or the screen has a defect, the warranty is processed in Chile, not in China.
- Chilean Charger: We make sure you have the correct electrical compatibility for 120W fast charging.
