Meanwhile, a 6.83-inch AMOLED display dominates the Poco X8 Pro Max’s front. Matching the Xiaomi 15T Pro’s display in size (curr. $819 on Amazon), this AMOLED panel also outputs at 2,772 x 1,280 pixels with a 3,840 Hz PWM value and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The Poco X8 Pro Max offers around 9% higher peak brightness at 3,500 nits (APL 25%) though, albeit with a 120 Hz refresh rate instead of 144 Hz in the Xiaomi 15T Pro’s case.
The Poco X8 Pro Max starts with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Xiaomi also offers a 512 GB variant, albeit with 12 GB of RAM too. The Poco X8 Pro Max retails for $469 or $529 with 512 GB of storage. However, Early Bird deals drop this pricing to $429 and $459, respectively.
