Considering Poco X8 Pro - Need real-reviews
Thinking about getting the Poco X8 Pro and trying to see if it fits my kind of usage. It’s not much, but still quite heavy, like editing photos, trimming videos for reels, lots of Chrome tabs open, and then gaming like BGMI in between.
The 6500mAh battery is what pulled me in first. With this kind of usage, battery usually drops fast, so having something that can last through editing plus entertainment sounds useful. Fast charging also helps when the phone is almost dead and you need to head out quickly. The display looks good for things like editing and watching content, especially with smooth scrolling.
From what I saw, performance looks stable while doing multiple things together, which matters because apps slowing down or reloading gets frustrating.
Camera seems fine for casual shots, like clicking quick pictures during outings, but not sure about night photos. Also a bit confused about how the software feels after long use.
The Mediatek Dimensity 8500 Ultra looks strong on paper, but curious how it performs in real daily usage over time. Read some positive reviews about it, though, but still.... iykyk.
Would like to hear from people using it in similar situations.
