Poco M8 Power 5G teaser points to 7-inch screen

Poco has kicked off its teaser campaign for the Poco M8 Power 5G, and the message is clear: this phone is being sold on battery life, not cameras or industrial design. The device has already appeared on Flipkart, where its headline features surfaced — a 7-inch display and an 8000 mAh battery.

According to the teaser, the phone looks closely related to the Redmi Note 17 for international markets. That would fit Xiaomi’s usual strategy of shipping the same core platform under different brands depending on the region, then changing the name and positioning.

So far, Poco has only confirmed the overall concept. But leaks paint the Poco M8 Power 5G as a near-phablet, a rare combination in the mass market if the early details hold up: a very large screen paired with a battery capacity that still isn’t common in mainstream phones.

The leaked specs include:

• OLED display, 7 inches
• 2396 × 1080 resolution
• 120 Hz refresh rate
• Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 SoC
• 8000 mAh battery
• 45 W wired charging
• 22.5 W reverse wired charging

The logic behind the device is straightforward. A big screen and a large battery work best for buyers using one device for video, gaming, and communication. Poco already has experience with battery-focused phones, while Xiaomi has an existing platform it can repackage for another market with relatively little effort.

Poco has not announced a release date or pricing yet, but the teaser campaign already shows how the company plans to pitch the M8 Power 5G: as an endurance-first smartphone rather than a camera phone or compact flagship.
