Buying a new POCO smartphone may now cost more as the company has reportedly increased the prices of several models in India. The latest POCO phones price hike affects the POCO X8 Pro Max, POCO X8 Pro, and POCO M8 5G, with some variants becoming up to Rs 2,000 more expensive. The revised prices have surfaced through a reliable tipster and are already drawing attention among smartphone buyers.
The increase applies to multiple RAM and storage variants across the three smartphone series. If you were planning to purchase any of these devices, you may now have to pay a higher price than before.
POCO Phones Price Hike: Revised Prices Of Popular Models
The biggest price increase has been seen on the premium X8 Pro Max and X8 Pro models, while the budget-focused M8 5G has also received a notable revision.
- 12GB + 256GB: Rs 44,999 → Rs 46,999
- 12GB + 512GB: Rs 48,999 → Rs 50,999

Most variants have received a price increase of Rs 2,000, while the base 6GB + 128GB version of the POCO M8 5G is now Rs 1,000 costlier.
More Smartphone Price Increases Could Be On The Way
The tipster also claimed that this may be only the beginning, with more smartphone brands expected to increase prices in the coming days. Although POCO has not officially announced the reason behind the latest revision, industry experts believe rising component costs, import expenses, and supply chain challenges could be responsible for the move.
The expected wave of price hikes may also affect upcoming smartphone launches, making new devices more expensive than initially expected. Buyers who are planning to upgrade their phones may want to make their purchase sooner if prices continue to rise.
For now, the POCO phones price hike has changed the pricing of some of the brand’s most popular smartphones, and consumers should compare online offers, bank discounts, and exchange deals to reduce the final purchase cost.
