POCO M8 Power Launches in India: The M-Series Follow-Up Built for Battery Life

-

POCO’s newest launch brings an 8,000 mAh battery to the mid-range segment, and you can bring it home on Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance.

POCO has launched the M8 Power in India on 4 August 2026, with sales starting 7 August 2026. This is the latest addition to its M-series line-up and a direct follow-up to the POCO M8, which arrived earlier this year. Where the POCO M8 focused on a slim build and a sharp selfie camera, the M8 Power takes a different route, built around one of the largest batteries available at this price point.

For buyers who’d rather not pay the full amount upfront, Bajaj Finance offers the Easy EMI Loan, with a loan offer amount of up to Rs. 5 lakh, and the Insta EMI Card, with a loan offer amount of up to Rs. 3 lakh, both with flexible tenures of 3-60 months. Either option lets you split the purchase into instalments that fit your monthly budget.

Key specs at a glance

Before getting into what makes the POCO M8 Power worth considering, here’s a quick snapshot of what it offers on paper.

Specification Details
Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 4
RAM and storage 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB storage
Display 6.83-inch AMOLED, FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate
Rear camera 50MP primary camera
Front camera 8MP
Battery 8,000 mAh with 45W fast charging
Operating system Android 16 with HyperOS 3
Weight 225g
Launch date 4 August 2026

These numbers place the phone firmly in the sub-Rs. 30,000 bracket, where battery capacity is usually the first thing to be compromised. The POCO M8 Power holds onto that capacity while keeping pace with rivals on display quality and software support, which is what makes the rest of its spec sheet worth a closer look.

Built around an 8,000 mAh battery

The POCO M8 Power is defined by its 8,000 mAh silicon carbon battery, a size rarely seen at this price point and roughly 45% larger than what the POCO M8 offers. The bigger cell is paired with 45W fast charging, so top-ups stay quick despite the extra capacity. For anyone who spends long days away from a charger, whether commuting, travelling, or simply working through a packed schedule, this is a phone that can comfortably stretch across two days of regular use.

A display and chipset built for everyday use

The phone runs on the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset, a processor tuned for smooth day-to-day performance rather than heavy gaming. It’s matched with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display that supports FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, so scrolling, streaming, and browsing all feel fluid. On the software side, the POCO M8 Power ships with Android 16 under HyperOS 3, and POCO backs it with four years of OS upgrades and six years of security updates, giving buyers long-term peace of mind on a mid-range purchase.

How it follows on from the POCO M8

The POCO M8 launched in India back in January 2026 and carved out its own space with a 178g build and a 20MP front camera. The M8 Power picks up the M-series baton a few months later with a different priority: stamina over slimness. At 225g and 8.4mm thick, it’s noticeably heavier than its sibling, a trade-off that comes with nearly 2,500 mAh of extra battery capacity. Buyers who found the original POCO M8 appealing but wanted more runtime between charges now have a natural upgrade path within the same family.

Pricing in India

The POCO M8 Power is available in two RAM and storage configurations.

Variant Price
6GB RAM + 128GB storage Rs. 24,999
8GB RAM + 128GB storage Rs. 27,999

Buying on Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance partner stores

Picking up the POCO M8 Power on EMI is straightforward at a Bajaj Finance partner store. Walk in with a valid ID and address proof, choose the variant that suits your needs, and use your Easy EMI Loan or Insta EMI Card at checkout to convert the cost into instalments. The network makes this convenient nearly anywhere in the country, spanning over 1.5 lakh partner stores across more than 4,000 cities in India.

Current offers add further value to the purchase:

  • Zero down payment on select models
  • Easy EMIs starting from Rs. 830
  • Flexible tenures ranging between 3-60 months
  • Up to 60% off the price of select phones

For buyers who prioritise battery life above everything else, the POCO M8 Power is an easy phone to consider, and Bajaj Finance’s EMI network makes it just as easy to bring home.
