Poco is set to launch the Poco M8 5G in India today, adding a new smartphone to its lineup. The device will be available for purchase through an online shopping platform and the company’s official website. It is expected to go on sale shortly after the launch.

The Poco M8 5G will be unveiled at 12 pm local time. The company has not confirmed whether the launch will take place through a live event or a soft launch. If a livestream is hosted, viewers will be able to watch it on the brand’s official video channel and social media pages.
The price of the Poco M8 5G in India remains undisclosed. However, leaks suggest it could be priced under Rs. 15,000. Earlier listings on international websites had shown a higher price, so this information should be treated with caution.
