The Certification Trail
Following the recent global launch of its flagship F8 series, Poco's next move appears to be in the mid-range segment. The Poco M8 Pro has been spotted on multiple certification websites, with the most revealing details coming from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the IMEI database. The device, bearing the model number 2510EPC8BG (where 'G' denotes a global variant), has also been certified by TDRA in the UAE and IMDA in Singapore, strongly indicating a widespread international launch is just weeks away.
Specifications Confirmed by Certification
Blazing 100W Fast Charging
The FCC listing includes a charger with model number MDY-19-EX, which is rated for 100W of power output. This represents a massive leap from the 45W charging supported by its predecessor, the Poco M7 Pro, and promises extremely quick top-ups for the large battery.
Massive Battery Capacity
The certification reveals a rated battery capacity of 6,330 mAh (model BM6J). In typical Xiaomi/Poco fashion, this rated capacity usually translates to a marketed typical capacity of approximately 6,500 mAh. This is over a 1,000 mAh increase compared to the M7 Pro, positioning it as an endurance champion.

Rebrand Identity & Expected Features
Multiple reports and the model number pattern suggest the Poco M8 Pro will be a global rebrand of the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G, following Poco's common strategy. This gives strong hints about other unconfirmed specifications likely to carry over from the Redmi device.
Display
Expected to feature a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Chipset
Likely to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, as used in the global Redmi Note 15 Pro+.
Camera System
May boast a high-resolution 200MP main rear camera paired with an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 32MP front camera.
Build & Extras
Could include an in-display fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Software Note: The listing showing HyperOS 2 (based on Android 15) has been noted as slightly disappointing by some observers, as the newer HyperOS 3 is already available on other devices like the Poco F8 series.
Launch Timeline & Market Context
With certifications from the FCC, IMEI, TDRA, and IMDA all secured, the device's launch is clearly in the final stages. A recent tip from leaker Yogesh Brar suggests the Poco M8 and M8 Pro could launch as soon as next month (January 2026).
This launch will follow the recent global debut of the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ in Poland, which started at a price of approximately PLN 1,999 (around $550). The Poco M8 Pro, as a rebrand, is expected to be competitively priced in its target markets, though an exact figure is not yet known.
