Score Breakdown
Editorial
Poco phones remain top "flagship killers" and the X8 Pro Max proves that point. Compromises are: processor - (just) below flagship grade, there is no tele lens and no AF on a 8MP ultrawide and on selfie. In all other respects, this is a fantastic value proposition and definitely worth your consideration if you're okay with it's heft. Battery endurance is as good as it gets.
Pros & Cons
PROs
flagship build quality, fast Dimensity 9500s with UFS 4.1 performance, record breaking endurance >48hrs from a large 8500mAh Si battery with sub-50min 100W charging, ~450ppi LTPS AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 (IP68 in Europe) protection, very good 50MP 26mm OIS PDAF main camera, average selfie and video recording, up to 4 years of OS updates, screen sharing and tons of connectivity options for both PC and Mac and a very loud stereo speaker setup
CONs
big and hard to use one-hand, only ~1100nits of screen brightness, ultrawide and selfie performance bring down imaging scores, average video recording quality, no SD memory, slow USB-C 2.0 port (but it does offer OTG)
