POCO X8s Geekbench Listing Reveals Snapdragon 7 Gen 4

Poco’s upcoming X-series phone has appeared on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and 12GB of RAM. The POCO X8s Geekbench listing also shows Android 16, while the camera is tipped to include a 50MP main sensor. The phone has received an IMDA listing as well, but a launch date and India availability are still unknown.

POCO X8s IMDA certification confirms model number 2609CPC5FG

The POCO X8s has now appeared on Singapore’s IMDA database under model number 2609CPC5FG. That follows earlier filings with EEC and IECEE, which means the device is moving through the usual approval process across several regions.

For now, the certification trail points to a phone that is close to being ready for select markets, but not necessarily everywhere at once. This kind of paperwork usually does not reveal the full product story, though it does show that Poco is actively preparing the X8s for release in more than one region.

The outline here is fairly clear on one point: the phone looks to be on the path to final approvals. What remains unknown is the launch date, the full design, and whether Poco will keep the same hardware across every market.

POCO X8s Geekbench listing reveals Snapdragon 7 Gen 4

The more detailed clue comes from the Geekbench listing, which points to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset inside the POCO X8s. The same test also shows a single-core score of 972 and a multi-core score of 3,297, with 12GB of RAM and Android 16 listed in the build.

Those numbers do not tell the whole story, but they do place the phone in the upper midrange conversation before launch. In that segment, chipset choice tends to matter a lot, because buyers usually compare raw performance, software readiness, and price in almost the same breath.

The presence of Android 16 is also notable because it suggests the device is already running fairly recent software in testing. That does not mean the final retail version is locked, but it does show Poco is getting the software side in order ahead of release.

For readers tracking the X-series, this is the clearest sign yet that the POCO X8s will aim above entry-level territory. The benchmarks are not massive flagship figures, but they are solid enough to keep the phone in a competitive midrange lane.

POCO X8s 50MP camera details hint at limited India plans

Camera information linked to the POCO X8s suggests a 50MP main rear camera. The report also mentions 0.6x ultra-wide, 1x standard, and 2.5x zoom modes, which gives a better sense of how Poco may be positioning the phone’s imaging setup.

That is still only a partial look at the hardware, so there is a lot that remains unconfirmed. There is no full sensor breakdown in the outline, and no additional camera specifications beyond the main 50MP unit and the listed zoom modes.

Market availability is where the story becomes more specific. Poco is said to skip India for this model and instead focus on the EEA, Turkey, Russia, and China. If that holds, the POCO X8s would be aimed more at global midrange buyers than the Indian market.

That narrower rollout changes how the phone should be read. Instead of being a broad X-series launch, it looks more like a region-specific release built around performance, a 50MP camera, and certification progress already visible in official databases.

For now, the POCO X8s is shaping up as a midrange phone with a clear paper trail and a few important hardware clues. The remaining gaps are just as important as the confirmed details, especially launch timing and final regional availability.
