512 GB of storage is twice as much as the 256 GB version, aimed at people who shoot a lot of 4K video, keep large games on the phone, or store music and films for offline use. 4K video at 60 frames per second fills space quickly, and with this capacity you do not need to move files to a computer every week. RAM is 12 GB of LPDDR5X, which keeps apps ready to go.
The eight-core Dimensity 9500s runs at up to 3.73 GHz and uses Mali-G720 graphics. According to the manufacturer, the chip is made on a 3 nm process and its heat is carried away by POCO 3D IceLoop cooling with an 11,000 mm² graphite layer. That matters during long video recordings and gaming, where heat could otherwise hold performance back. The system is Android with HyperOS 3.
The 50 MP main camera (1/1.95″, f/1.5) with optical stabilisation records 4K video at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. Slow motion is supported at up to 960 frames per second, and recording with two cameras at once is handy for vlogging. The second rear camera is 8 MP and the front camera 20 MP. Supported video formats include MP4, MKV and WebM, and audio formats include FLAC, MP3 and WAV.
The 6.83″ screen has 2772 × 1280 pixels, 460 ppi density and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Typical brightness is 800 cd/m² and up to 3500 cd/m² with HDR content, the contrast ratio is 8,000,000:1, and Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are supported. 12-bit colour depth helps judge colours more accurately when editing video on the phone. The front glass is Gorilla Glass 7i.
The 8500 mAh battery charges from a USB Power Delivery or PPS charger of up to 100 W, and the manufacturer calls its fast charging HyperCharge. Reverse charging, the manufacturer says, can power other devices at up to 27 W. It supports 5G, 4G and 3G, two SIMs and eSIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC, plus GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and NavIC. It unlocks with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader or face recognition.
The black POCO X8 Pro Max 12/512 GB suits content creators who film a lot on their phone, gamers who keep several large games installed at once, and anyone who would rather not think about free space. A protective case and a USB-C cable are included. The phone measures 162.9 × 77.9 × 8.2 mm and weighs 218 g.

The difference is storage: this version has 512 GB, while both have 12 GB of RAM. The screen, processor, cameras, battery and IP68 protection are the same.
The manufacturer does not specify. It is therefore worth choosing the storage size up front; this version has 512 GB built in.
No, the power adapter is sold separately. The box has a USB-C cable, a protective case and a SIM tool, and any USB PD charger in the 10–100 W range will charge it.
Yes, the manufacturer says POCO X8 Pro Max supports eSIM, and the phone is also Dual SIM, so you can use two numbers on one phone.
