Only a Few Details Are Official for Now

So far, POCO has officially confirmed the 8,000 mAh battery, AMOLED display, Orange color option, and the August 4 launch date. The teaser also shows a square-shaped camera module with two circular cutouts, although the company hasn’t revealed any camera specifications yet.

Expected to Be Based on the Redmi Note 17

Previous firmware findings by Kacper Skrzypek suggest the POCO M8 Power could be a rebadged version of the Redmi Note 17, which debuted in China earlier this month.

If that turns out to be the case, the smartphone is expected to feature a 7-inch 120 Hz OLED display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor, and 45W wired charging. The large display would make it one of the biggest phones in POCO’s lineup, which lines up with POCO’s “more entertainment” marketing.

With the launch now locked in for August 4 at 12 PM IST, POCO is expected to reveal the remaining specifications, pricing, and availability details during the announcement (or the days leading to the launch). Stay tuned.
