POCO has officially launched its yearly celebration, POCO Carnival 2026, which will run from August 7 to August 31. This year’s event carries the theme “From 8 to ∞,” marking the brand’s eighth anniversary. The celebration looks back at what POCO has achieved over the past eight years while also pointing toward what’s ahead for the brand.
As part of the Carnival, POCO is offering a range of deals and promotions on its devices through mi.com and other online platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Several products are being highlighted during the event, including the POCO F8 Ultra, F8 Pro, X8 Pro Max, and X8 Pro.
The POCO F8 Ultra is being positioned as the brand’s top flagship model. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with the VisionBoost D8 chip, aimed at delivering smooth performance for gaming and everyday multitasking. The phone also comes with a 2.1 channel sound system built with Bose, along with a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto camera, which POCO says is a first for the brand.
The POCO F8 Pro also joins the flagship lineup, built with a one piece milled glass design and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It features a HyperRGB AMOLED display and a 50MP telephoto camera. For users looking for strong battery performance, the POCO X8 Pro Max comes with an 8,500mAh silicon carbon battery, the largest POCO has used in a phone so far, along with 100W fast charging. It runs on the Dimensity 9500s chipset and includes WildBoost Optimization to help with extended gaming sessions.
The POCO X8 Pro, meanwhile, is built with the Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset and has a glass back with a metal frame. It comes with a 6,500mAh battery and also supports 100W fast charging.
