POCO has been on a roll recently, and the brand is doing all the right things with its budget and mid-range phones. What's particularly interesting is that POCO now collaborates with Marvel to release limited-edition models of its phones, like last year's X7 Pro Iron Man Edition. The brand is renewing that license in 2026 with the introduction of the POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition.
This year's phone looks quite different, and if anything, it grabs even more attention. I'll get to the design in a minute, but let's start with the X8 series. POCO is debuting the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max globally, and the devices are now on sale in the U.K., India, and other key markets. The X8 Pro starts at £289 ($385) in the U.K. for the 8GB/256GB model, and ₹33,999 ($367) in India.
