GoSolo Verdict

The Poco M8 Power is a large, heavy budget phone with an unexpectedly good AMOLED display and enormous battery, but held back by an entry-level chipset and bare-bones camera performance. For the price, the screen and endurance make it a solid choice for video watching and all-day use, though performance and photography remain budget-tier.

Strengths · 3

7-inch AMOLED at 120Hz with 1800 nits peak brightness makes this a rare sub-€250 phone that doesn't rely on cheap LCD, delivering rich blacks and smooth scrolling.
8000 mAh battery promises genuine 2-day endurance even with moderate use; bigger than most flagships and a real reason to buy this over a slimmer rival.
IP65 rating and microSDXC card slot (dedicated) at this price point—rare redundancies that add practical durability and expandability without the usual cost bump.

Trade-offs · 3

Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is entry-level by design; don't expect fast app launches, smooth gaming, or multitasking grace—it's adequate for messaging and video, not much else.
50MP camera is spec-sheet posturing: 1080p video only, 0.64µm pixels, and f/1.8 doesn't compensate for the tiny 1/2.76" sensor. Photos are flat, low-light is weak, and it falls behind even mid-range phones here.
225g and 8.5mm thick makes this a brick in the hand—heavier than many 2026 flagships and genuinely awkward to grip or pocket for extended periods.
