POCO X8 — Disadvantages

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

No 4K video recording

Recording is limited to Full HD at 30fps. That leaves less room for cropping during editing and lacks the motion smoothness of standard 60fps footage.

No ultrawide camera

The additional depth sensor does not replace an ultrawide lens. Tight interiors and large groups leave fewer options for choosing a wider field of view.

A large, heavy phone

At 223g and 8.6mm thick, the phone has a noticeable presence in a pocket or hand. Smaller models may be more comfortable for extended one-handed reading.
