(Image credit - Poco) A new report suggests that smartphone brand Poco may skip a couple of expected models next year. To recall, the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra debuted earlier than anticipated this year. Meanwhile, recent certification sightings indicate that the M8 series could be the next lineup to launch across multiple markets. However, according to a report from XiaomiTime, Poco is reportedly streamlining its portfolio in 2026. Here’s everything we know from the recent reports. Poco X8 Pro Max Incoming, Standard Poco X8 Cancelled The report is based on Mi code references and claims that several upcoming Redmi smartphones will be rebranded under the Poco branding. The Poco M8 5G is said to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 15 5G, while the Poco M8 Pro 5G is expected to arrive as the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G under a new name.

Alongside it, Poco is reportedly preparing the Poco X8 Pro Max, which is said to be based on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max. The latter is expected to launch in China first and has not been officially unveiled yet. Notably missing from the list is the standard Poco X8. The device has not appeared in the GSMA IMEI database so far, and the report claims that the model has been cancelled. The Poco X8 was earlier expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G. In previous generations, Poco offered up to three models in its X-series including an entry-level Neo variant. For 2026, the lineup is reportedly being reduced to just two devices, which are the Poco X8 Pro and the Poco X8 Pro Max. The report also suggests that the Poco X8 Pro could receive a special Iron Man Edition. Poco F8 Dropped From the 2026 Lineup The report further claims that the standard Poco F8 may not exist at all. Xiaomi’s China-exclusive Redmi K90 Pro Max and Redmi K90 have already been rebranded for global markets as the Poco F8 Ultra and Poco F8 Pro, respectively. However, there is currently no concrete evidence to confirm the cancellation of the vanilla Poco F8. These claims could have significant implications, especially for the Indian market. The Poco F8 was widely expected to be the only F8-series smartphone to launch in India, which continues to be one of Poco’s most important regions. It remains to be seen how these reports hold up once Poco officially reveals its upcoming smartphone lineup. FAQS Q1. What is happening with the Poco X8 lineup in 2026? Answer. The Poco X8 lineup is being streamlined, with the standard Poco X8 reportedly cancelled. Instead, Poco will only launch the Poco X8 Pro, which is based on the Redmi Turbo 5, and the Poco X8 Pro Max, which is based on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max. There may also be a special Iron Man Edition of the Poco X8 Pro. Q2. Which upcoming Redmi phones are being rebranded under Poco? Answer. According to reports, the Poco M8 5G will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 15 5G, while the Poco M8 Pro 5G will arrive as the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G under a new name. In the X-series, the Poco X8 Pro will be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5, and the Poco X8 Pro Max will be based on the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro Max. Q3. Is the Poco F8 series being discontinued? Answer. The Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra have already launched as rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 and Redmi K90 Pro Max. However, reports suggest that the vanilla Poco F8 may be dropped from the lineup, although there is no concrete confirmation yet. This uncertainty is significant because the Poco F8 was expected to be the main F8-series device for the Indian market.
