Battery and Charging
Q1: What type of battery is used in the POCO X8s?
A: The battery capacity of the POCO X8s is 6330 mAh, and it uses a lithium polymer battery.
Note:
Data provided by internal laboratories. Industry measurement methods may vary. Actual results may differ. Products may vary by countries/regions; please refer to the actual product.
 
Q2: Why does the charging power of the POCO X8s not reach the advertised value?
A: The actual charging power of the POCO X8s may not reach the maximum advertised value because it is intelligently adjusted in real time based on several factors to ensure safe and efficient charging. These factors include the specific charger and data cable being used, the remaining battery level of the device (as the charging speed is deliberately reduced near full capacity to protect the battery), and the usage environment, such as ambient temperature conditions, which may trigger thermal regulation to safeguard battery health.
This dynamic adjustment is a normal and necessary feature that prioritizes long-term battery safety over peak charging speed, so occasional deviations from the advertised value are to be expected and do not indicate any malfunction.
 
Q3: What charging protocols are supported by the POCO X8s?
A: The POCO X8s supports QC3+, QC3.0, QC2.0, PD3.0 and PD2.0 charging protocols. The charger of the POCO X8s supports QC2.0, QC3.0, and PD protocols.
 
Q4: Why is the charging speed of the POCO X8s very slow?
A: The POCO X8s charging speed may be slow for the following reasons:
1. High ambient temperatures can cause the POCO X8s to reduce charging speed for battery protection.
2. Use of incompatible chargers or cables will limit the charging speed of the POCO X8s.
3. Simultaneous heavy usage during charging on the POCO X8s reduces the available charging power.
4. The POCO X8s achieves a full charge in approximately 49 minutes under optimal conditions with the recommended charger.
Note:
Data provided by POCO internal laboratories. Industry measurement methods may vary. Actual results may differ. Products may vary by region; Please refer to the actual product.
 
Q5: Does long-term plug-in charging damage the battery of the POCO X8s?
A: Long-term plug-in charging does not significantly damage the POCO X8s battery because the device incorporates battery management systems that prevent overcharging. The POCO X8s is designed with a high-voltage battery supporting a 4.55 V charging limit voltage, and the charging control system automatically stops charging when the battery reaches full capacity. For safety reasons, it is recommended to unplug the charger after the device is fully charged.
 
Q6: Can the POCO X8s be used while charging?
A: The POCO X8s can be used while charging, but this practice is not recommended for optimal battery health and charging efficiency. Charging speed on the POCO X8s may be significantly reduced when the device is used heavily during charging to manage heat generation. The POCO X8s incorporates temperature management to protect the battery during simultaneous charging and usage, but prolonged usage while charging may generate additional heat and potentially affect long-term battery performance.
For the best charging experience and battery longevity, it is recommended to allow the POCO X8s to charge without active usage whenever possible.
 
Q7: Why does the battery drain faster on the POCO X8s after a system update?
A: After a system update, the POCO X8s may experience faster battery drain because background optimization processes run on the device, app recompilation is triggered, which consumes additional power, and system re-indexing, along with other background tasks, temporarily consumes more power. This increased battery drain typically stabilizes within a few charge cycles as the system completes its post-update optimization.
 
Q8: Does the POCO X8s power on automatically when plugged in, and is there a minimum battery requirement?
A: The POCO X8s does not automatically power on when the charger is plugged in. The POCO X8s requires a minimum battery level to power on, and the device should be charged to a sufficient level before attempting to turn it on. If the POCO X8s battery is completely depleted, it takes several minutes of charging before the device can power on.
