bright AMOLED display, long software support, strong performance, IP rating

Cons

no OIS support, average secondary camera, hybrid slot

Verdict

POCO M8 stands out as a well-balanced smartphone with a strong focus on display quality and long-term software support. The Flow AMOLED display with high brightness and 120Hz refresh rate delivers an excellent viewing experience, making it great for content consumption. Performance is also solid thanks to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, handling gaming and multitasking efficiently. The addition of 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates makes it one of the most future-proof devices in this segment. However, the camera setup lacks OIS, and secondary camera performance is average. Overall, it�s a great all-rounder with strong long-term value.
