Powered by POCO's first 1–120Hz Adaptive refresh rate Pro, the screen dynamically balances smoother visuals with lower power consumption for longer battery life. Rounding out the display experience are triple TÜV Rheinland eye-care certifications for comfortable viewing during long sessions, along with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor featuring wet-touch support and press-and-slide enrollment for fast, dependable unlocking.

The setup also includes a 50MP 2.5x telephoto camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Live Moment supports up to 1080p, preserving motion with greater clarity and detail.




An Elevated Everyday Experience, Powered to Last

Driven by the Snapdragon® 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform, POCO X8s delivers responsive performance across app launches, multitasking, and entertainment. The POCO 3D IceLoop system keeps thermals in check during intensive tasks, helping sustain performance over time.

Within its compact body, POCO X8s houses a 6,330mAh (typ) battery with 16% silicon content, bringing large battery capacity to a phone designed for comfortable one-handed use. 100W HyperCharge provides fast charging,³ while 22.5W reverse charging allows users to power compatible devices on the go.⁴

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
