The Poco X8 Pro has been showing up across multiple certification databases ahead of its official launch. We’ve seen it on Europe’s EEC listing, India’s BIS, SGS, and more recently in Indonesia’s SDPPI.
The phone has now received NBTC approval in Thailand, but the twist is, it’s the special Iron Man Edition. If you remember, Poco X7 Pro special edition is also themed after Iron Man, so the company is continuing the partnership this generation too.

According to the NBTC listing, the new variant carries the model number 2511FPC34G and name, the Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition. While certification documents rarely reveal design or hardware changes, the branding alone confirms Poco is planning a themed version alongside the standard model.
The timing also lines up with Poco’s usual release cycle. Poco launched the X7 Pro in January 2025, and the X8 Pro was first certified back in July last year. January is currently rolling around, so we can expect its launch soon.
As per rumors, the Poco X8 Pro will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5, which is expected to debut in China later this month. There’s also talk of a Poco X8 Pro Max, possibly based on a Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which could launch alongside it in some regions.
If the claims are true, both models may feature 1.5K-resolution touchscreens. As for performance, the Poco X8 Pro is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset, while the Pro Max could step up to the more powerful Dimensity 9500.
On the software side, the phone is tipped to launch with Android 16 and HyperOS 3.
