Xiaomi has confirmed the Poco X8s in Poland and Singapore following its debut in Vietnam, with both countries listing the phone through official Xiaomi stores. The rollout remains ongoing, and Xiaomi has not announced full international availability, so buyers outside those three markets should watch for local announcements.
What It Costs, and Where the Numbers Get Complicated
Poland pricing is straightforward; Singapore’s is not, and you should verify before ordering.
In Poland, the 8 GB/256 GB model starts at PLN 1,599, and the 12 GB/512 GB version is listed at PLN 1,799. Singapore pricing is less settled: the launch report cited SGD 619, but Xiaomi Singapore’s store separately shows a promotional price of S$519, reduced from S$549. Treat Singapore pricing as subject to change and confirm directly with the local Xiaomi store before purchasing.
The Display Headline That Needs a Footnote
The 3,500-nit figure describes a narrow peak condition, not the brightness you will see under typical use.
The Poco X8s carries a 6.35-inch CrystalRes AMOLED panel with LTPO adaptive refresh from 1 to 120 Hz, 2,656 x 1,220 resolution, 12-bit color, and HDR10+/Dolby Vision support. Xiaomi separately lists typical manual brightness at 1,060 nits and high-brightness mode at 2,000 nits, so the 3,500-nit figure represents a multi-scenario peak rather than a sustained or typical reading.
The Battery Is the Real Story
A 6,330 mAh silicon-carbon cell stands out in its price class, and 100 W charging reduces the inconvenience of carrying that capacity.
Silicon-carbon cells of this size are less common at mid-range price points, and the 6,330 mAh capacity here is genuinely large for this tier. Xiaomi pairs it with 100 W HyperCharge to keep charge times short, and the phone also supports up to 22.5 W reverse wired charging.

Two 50MP Cameras, With One Important Caveat
Pairing a 50 MP telephoto with a 50 MP main sensor is an unusual choice at this price point, but specifications alone do not establish image quality.
The dual-50MP setup distinguishes the X8s from mid-range devices that typically combine one high-resolution main sensor with a lower-resolution secondary lens. Actual zoom range, optical stabilization performance, and low-light results require independent testing before any quality conclusions can be drawn.

Fifth in a Crowded Family
The X8s joins a series that has grown to five models, bringing the lineup’s largest battery to date.
The X8s is the fifth member of the Poco X8 series, following the X8, X8 Power, X8 Pro, and X8 Pro Max. Its specifications center on battery capacity and charging speed rather than the performance focus of the Pro-tier models, though that positioning reflects the listed specs rather than a stated Xiaomi claim. Buyers outside Poland and Singapore should monitor Xiaomi’s regional channels for confirmation of local availability and pricing, as the international rollout has not been fully detailed.
