The Poco X8 Pro Max has surfaced on another certification platform, indicating that its official debut could be approaching. After recently receiving approval from Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), the handset has now appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN certification database.
The repeated certifications suggest that Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco may soon introduce the Poco X8 Pro Max in select global markets. The company is also expected to launch the Poco X8 Pro alongside the Max variant.
Certification
The Poco X8 Pro Max has been listed on Indonesia’s TKDN database with the model number 2602BPC18G. The certification confirms support for 5G connectivity, though it does not disclose additional specifications or launch details.
Certification listings generally indicate that a device is nearing its commercial release. While the TKDN entry does not confirm a timeline, the approval adds to growing evidence that the handset could be unveiled soon.
Previously, the same model number was spotted on Singapore’s IMDA certification database. Multiple approvals across regions often precede a global or multi-market launch.
Lineup
Poco is expected to introduce two models in the series:
- Poco X8 Pro Max
- Poco X8 Pro
The Poco X8 Pro has already been certified by RRA in South Korea and the Bureau of Indian Standards in India. These approvals point toward a broader rollout strategy across Asia and Europe.
The simultaneous certification activity for both models indicates that the company may launch them together as part of a unified lineup.
Variants
Recent reports have revealed potential pricing, storage configurations, and colour options for the upcoming smartphones.
Both devices are expected to be offered in three colour options:
- Black
- White
- Green
In terms of storage, the following configurations have been reported:
| Model | RAM and Storage | Expected Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Poco X8 Pro Max | 12GB + 256GB | EUR 529 approx. |
| Poco X8 Pro | 8GB + 256GB | EUR 399 approx. |
The European pricing suggests that the Poco X8 Pro Max may be positioned as a premium offering within the brand’s portfolio, while the Poco X8 Pro could target the upper mid-range segment.
Performance
The Poco X8 Pro Max is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro is likely to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor.
| Model | Expected Chipset |
|---|---|
| Poco X8 Pro Max | MediaTek Dimensity 9500s |
| Poco X8 Pro | MediaTek Dimensity 8500 |
If these reports are accurate, the Max variant could deliver improved performance and efficiency compared to the standard Pro model.
Connectivity
The TKDN certification confirms 5G connectivity support for the Poco X8 Pro Max. While other connectivity features have not been detailed, modern mid-range and premium smartphones typically include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and advanced location services.
Additional specifications are expected to surface as the launch date approaches.
Outlook
The appearance of the Poco X8 Pro Max on Indonesia’s TKDN database, following its earlier IMDA certification in Singapore, strengthens expectations of an imminent launch. Alongside the Poco X8 Pro, the Max variant is likely to expand Poco’s offerings in the mid-to-premium smartphone segment.
Although official confirmation regarding specifications, availability, and launch timelines is still pending, certification activity across multiple regions indicates that an announcement may not be far away.
For now, consumers will need to wait for Poco to provide formal details regarding the upcoming X8 Pro series.
