The core dilemma is simple: do you need a phone for daily video now, or can you wait for its successor that brings upgrades to the battery, display, and chipset? DHIARCOM acknowledges the Poco X7 Pro is still selling well because its video is âsmoothâ for its class. On the other hand, the Poco X8 Pro arrives with the Dimensity 8500 Ultra, a 1.5K 120Hz display, a 6500mAh battery, and a 100W charger in the box. Official pricing is still unclear. At this point, the decision largely comes down to your video needs and budget limit.
