Poco launched the Poco X8s back in late October, and today the compact handset is making its way to Europe, starting with Germany. It’s also the first phone in the X series to have a telephoto camera – not even the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max can boast that.

In case you need a refresher, the Poco X8s comes with a 6.35-inch 1220×2656 LTPO AMOLED screen with an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate and 3,500-nit peak brightness, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, a 50MP 1/1.55″ main camera with OIS, a 50MP telephoto with 2.5x optical zoom, an 8MP ultrawide, a 20MP selfie camera, a 6,330 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired and 22.5W reverse wired charging, an IP68 rating, and Xiaomi HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

The phone has an aluminum frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, NFC, and an IR blaster, and it comes in white, blue, and black. It’s 8.06mm thick and weighs 187g. Poco doesn’t include a charger in the box in Europe, unsurprisingly.
The Poco X8s officially costs €529.90 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and €629.90 with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. From today until November 23, Xiaomi’s official store sells it for just €429.90 and €519.90, respectively. Amazon also has the device in stock for a very slightly higher price.
