Following the recent release of the POCO X7 Pro, POCO F7, and POCO F8 Pro, POCO Nepal has further expanded its lineup with two new offerings. Alongside the standard POCO X8 Pro, the brand has introduced its larger sibling: the POCO X8 Pro Max. Here is everything you need to know about its technical specifications, features, and official pricing in Nepal.
Design and Visual Experience
Unlike the base model which leans toward a compact form factor, the POCO X8 Pro Max boasts a prominent 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It incorporates 3840Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain at lower brightness, achieves 2,000 nits of full-screen peak brightness, and offers 12-bit color depth alongside Dolby Vision certification. The panel delivers sharp color accuracy, smooth video playback, and wide viewing angles.
Constructed with a glass front, an aluminum frame, and a glass rear panel, the device maintains a sturdy build. It measures about 8.2mm in thickness, weighs roughly 218 grams, and carries IP68/IP69K ratings for protection against dust and liquid splashes. The White colorway offers a clean aesthetic, complemented by unique RGB accent lighting surrounding the camera island.
Hardware Performance and Software
Underneath, the device is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s processor and an Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU. Memory options include 12GB or 16GB of RAM combined with 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The phone handles demanding gaming workloads with steady frame rates and controlled thermals, while multitasking remains fluid. On the software front, it ships with Android 16 topped with HyperOS 3. POCO promises 4 major Android updates and 6 years of security patches for this device.
Camera Setup
The camera configuration mirrors the standard model, utilizing a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 20MP front-facing shooter. It produces crisp, colorful daylight photos and satisfactory portraits, while low-light output and selfies remain practical for daily social media use.
Battery Capacity and Pricing in Nepal
The phone features an 8,500 mAh battery on the global variant available in Nepal (the Indian model sports a slightly larger 9,000 mAh capacity). Users can expect roughly 10 to 12 hours of screen-on time on average. With 100W wired fast charging support, the phone can be topped up from 0 to 100% in approximately one hour.
The official price of the POCO X8 Pro Max in Nepal is set at NPR 94,999 for the 12GB + 256GB option and NPR 104,999 for the 12GB + 512GB version. It is available for purchase through official Xiaomi-authorized outlets across the country.
