Mumbai, February 9: The launch of the Poco X8 series appears imminent as the Poco X8 Pro has reportedly secured South Korea’s RRA certification, marking another major step toward its global release. Following previous sightings on Thailand’s NBTC and India’s BIS databases, the latest listing confirms the device with model number 2511FPC34G, signaling that Poco is preparing to introduce its new mid-range contenders to international markets.
