Highlights & Review Of Poco M8 5G

Display Highlights

The Poco M8 5G has the lowest resolution and the lowest brightness in this group. Its 6.77-inch AMOLED panel runs at 1080 x 2392 with 800 nits HBM and 3200 nits peak.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G uses a panel of the same size at 1280 x 2772, with 1800 nits HBM and the same 3200 nits peak. That works out to roughly 388 ppi on the Poco M8 5G against 451 ppi on the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G. The Redmi’s HBM figure is also more than double the Poco’s, and HBM is the number that bears most on readability in direct sun.

The two Infinix phones share one panel base. The Infinix Note 60 Edge and the Infinix Note 60 both use a 6.78-inch AMOLED at 1208 x 2644 (about 429 ppi) with 1600 nits HBM and 4500 nits peak. That peak is 41% above the Poco M8 5G’s.

The only panel difference between them is refresh rate. The Infinix Note 60 reaches 144Hz, while the Infinix Note 60 Edge, Poco M8 5G and Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G all top out at 120Hz. The extra PKR 7,000 the Infinix Note 60 costs over the Note 60 Edge buys the faster refresh rate here, plus other hardware covered in later sections.

All four phones use AMOLED, but the supplied data gives no color gamut, PWM dimming or adaptive refresh details. Color reproduction and flicker behavior therefore can’t be ranked. Prices below are retailer prices for the 8GB/256GB variant, checked on 28 October 2026.

Spec	Poco M8 5G	Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G	Infinix Note 60 Edge	Infinix Note 60
Panel	AMOLED	AMOLED	AMOLED	AMOLED
Size	6.77-inch	6.77-inch	6.78-inch	6.78-inch
Resolution	1080 x 2392	1280 x 2772	1208 x 2644	1208 x 2644
Pixel density (approx.)	388 ppi	451 ppi	429 ppi	429 ppi
Refresh rate	120Hz	120Hz	120Hz	144Hz
Peak brightness	3200 nits	3200 nits	4500 nits	4500 nits

Price (PKR)	92,000	91,000	95,000	102,000

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 has the strongest display on paper at PKR 102,000, thanks to 144Hz and 4500 nits peak. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is the best pick for sharpness and sunlight at PKR 91,000. The Poco M8 5G at PKR 92,000 trails all three rivals on resolution and HBM brightness, and costs PKR 1,000 more than the Redmi.

Performance Highlights

The Infinix Note 60 leads this group at 977,000 AnTuTu (v11) on its Dimensity 7400, about 15% ahead of the Poco M8 5G, whose Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 scores 850,000 AnTuTu (v11). The Infinix Note 60 Edge follows at 800,000 AnTuTu (v11) on the Dimensity 7100, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G trails at 590,000 AnTuTu (v11) on the Helio G200 Ultra.

v11 is the only version all four phones have, so it is the fair four-way comparison. The Redmi’s gap is large: the Poco M8 5G scores 44% higher for PKR 1,000 more. The Redmi also has only two Cortex-A76 performance cores, while the other three phones each have four Cortex-A78 cores.

The Poco M8 5G and Infinix Note 60 Edge are closer than the v11 order suggests. The Poco leads by 6% on v11, but on AnTuTu (v10) the Infinix Note 60 Edge scores 630,000 against the Poco M8 5G’s 550,000 and the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G’s 450,000. The Infinix Note 60 has no published v10 score, which does not mean a lower result. Because the two versions disagree on the Poco and the Note 60 Edge, treat them as roughly level in raw speed.

The Poco M8 5G and Infinix Note 60 are both built on 4nm, with an Adreno 710 and a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU respectively. The Infinix Note 60 also has the highest clock at 2.6GHz. The Note 60 Edge and Redmi are both on 6nm. Prices are retailer prices checked on 28 October 2026. The Poco M8 5G is PKR 3,000 cheaper than the Note 60 Edge, and the Note 60 costs PKR 10,000 more than the Poco for its 15% v11 lead.

Spec	Poco M8 5G	Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G	Infinix Note 60 Edge	Infinix Note 60
Chipset	Snapdragon 6 Gen 3	Helio G200 Ultra	Dimensity 7100	Dimensity 7400
Process	4nm	6nm	6nm	4nm
CPU	4x 2.4GHz A78 + 4x 1.8GHz A55	2x 2.2GHz A76 + 6x 2.0GHz A55	4x 2.4GHz A78 + 4x 2.0GHz A55	4x 2.6GHz A78 + 4x 2.0GHz A55
GPU	Adreno 710	Mali-G57 MC2	Mali-G610 MC2	Mali-G615 MC2
AnTuTu v11	850,000	590,000	800,000	977,000
AnTuTu v10	550,000	450,000	630,000	Not published
Price (PKR)	92,000	91,000	95,000	102,000

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 is the fastest phone here on the only shared benchmark (977,000 AnTuTu v11) at PKR 102,000. The Poco M8 5G is the best v11 result at PKR 95,000 or below, and it is effectively level with the Infinix Note 60 Edge. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is clearly the weakest performer despite being the cheapest.

Memory & Storage Highlights

The Infinix Note 60 Edge and Infinix Note 60 both pair 8GB LPDDR5X RAM with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. The Poco M8 5G and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G use 8GB LPDDR4X with the same 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.

Storage type is identical across all four, so RAM generation is the only hardware gap in this comparison. LPDDR5X is the newer memory standard, which gives the Infinix pair better multitasking headroom on paper. The supplied data has no bandwidth figures, so the size of that gap can’t be quantified.

Expandability is the more practical split. The Poco M8 5G, Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G and Infinix Note 60 Edge all list microSD support. For the Infinix Note 60, microSD support is not confirmed, so buyers shouldn’t assume a card slot. That matters because the Infinix Note 60 is the most expensive phone of the four at PKR 102,000, yet the only one without confirmed expansion.

The Infinix Note 60 Edge combines LPDDR5X with a confirmed card slot at PKR 95,000. That is PKR 3,000 above the Poco M8 5G and PKR 4,000 above the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G. Prices are retailer prices for the 8GB/256GB variant, checked on 28 October 2026. Outside this variant, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is also listed with 12GB RAM options, and the Poco M8 5G with a 512GB option. Neither changes the comparison here.

Spec	Poco M8 5G	Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G	Infinix Note 60 Edge	Infinix Note 60
Variant compared	8GB + 256GB	8GB + 256GB	8GB + 256GB	8GB + 256GB

microSD	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not confirmed
Price (PKR)	92,000	91,000	95,000	102,000

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 Edge has the best memory package here, with LPDDR5X RAM and confirmed microSD support at PKR 95,000. The Infinix Note 60 matches its RAM but has no confirmed card slot at PKR 102,000. The Poco M8 5G and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G are level on LPDDR4X, and the Redmi is PKR 1,000 cheaper.

Camera Highlights

The Poco M8 5G records rear video up to 4K at 30fps, while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G tops out at 1080p at 30/60fps despite its 200MP main camera. The Infinix Note 60 also reaches 4K at 30fps on the rear and is the only phone here with 4K at 30fps front video. The Infinix Note 60 Edge stops at 2K at 30fps on both cameras. The Poco M8 5G also adds HD at up to 240fps slow motion, and the Infinix Note 60 offers 1080p at up to 120fps.

Sensor confidence differs across the four. The Poco M8 5G names its 50MP OV50D40 Light Hunter 400 main sensor, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G a 200MP Samsung S5KHP3SP, and the Infinix Note 60 Edge a 50MP GalaxyCore GC50D1. The Infinix Note 60 does not name its main sensor, only its 13MP GalaxyCore GC13AO front sensor.

Front sensors are unconfirmed on the other three. Aperture, sensor size and OIS are not listed for any phone, so low-light ranking isn’t possible. The Poco M8 5G’s rear setup is listed as 50 + 2 + 0.8MP, while its sensor list shows an unconfirmed 8MP entry, and this hasn’t been resolved.

Three differentiators matter here. The Poco M8 5G alone lists 2x optical zoom, and it and the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G list stabilization, though neither source specifies the type. The Redmi and the Infinix Note 60 offer 10x digital zoom, and the Infinix Note 60 Edge lists no zoom and no stabilization. For selfies, the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G has 32MP, the Poco M8 5G 20MP, and both Infinix phones 13MP. The Redmi’s 32MP is 60% more resolution than the Poco’s.

Prices are retailer prices checked on 28 October 2026.

Stabilization	Yes	Yes	Not listed	Not listed
Price (PKR)	92,000	91,000	95,000	102,000

Verdict: The Poco M8 5G has the most complete camera package here at PKR 92,000, with 4K rear video, a listed 2x optical zoom, stabilization and a 20MP front camera. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G leads on 200MP and 32MP resolution at PKR 91,000 but can’t record 4K. The Infinix Note 60 is the only choice for 4K selfie video at PKR 102,000, and the Infinix Note 60 Edge is the weakest of the four.

Battery & Charging Highlights

The Infinix Note 60 Edge, Infinix Note 60 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G all carry a 6500 mAh battery. The Poco M8 5G has 5520 mAh, so each of the other three has an 18% larger cell. All four phones charge at 45W wired, so wattage doesn’t separate them, and capacity and extra charging features decide the comparison. On capacity alone, the Poco M8 5G is the weakest of the four despite sitting in the middle of the price range.

Charging features split the phones more than capacity does. The Infinix Note 60 is the only phone here with 30W wireless charging, and it also supports 5W reverse wireless. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G and the Infinix Note 60 Edge both list wireless charging as No, and the Poco M8 5G lists no wireless charging at all. That makes the Infinix Note 60 the one choice for a charging pad or for topping up earbuds wirelessly from the phone.

Reverse wired charging is listed on all four. The Poco M8 5G and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G both support 18W, the Infinix Note 60 supports 10W, and the Infinix Note 60 Edge is listed as supported without a wattage. Cell chemistry differs as well. The Poco M8 5G, Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G and Infinix Note 60 Edge use silicon-carbon cells, while the Infinix Note 60 uses lithium polymer. Prices are retailer prices checked on 28 October 2026.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is the cheapest route to a 6500 mAh battery at PKR 91,000, PKR 1,000 below the Poco M8 5G.

Spec	Poco M8 5G	Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G	Infinix Note 60 Edge	Infinix Note 60
Capacity	5520 mAh	6500 mAh	6500 mAh	6500 mAh
Battery type	Silicon-Carbon	Silicon-Carbon	Silicon-Carbon Li-Ion	Lithium Polymer

Reverse wireless	Not listed	No	No	5W
Price (PKR)	92,000	91,000	95,000	102,000

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 has the most complete battery package at PKR 102,000, with 6500 mAh, 45W wired and 30W wireless charging. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is the best value for a large cell at PKR 91,000. The Poco M8 5G has the smallest battery of the four at 5520 mAh.

Final Verdict

The Infinix Note 60 is the overall winner at PKR 102,000. It leads on display with 144Hz and 4500 nits peak, on performance with 977,000 AnTuTu (v11), and on battery with 6500 mAh and 30W wireless charging. It also gives the most overall quality per rupee, even though it is the most expensive phone.

This verdict uses a balanced weighting across all five categories, with performance and camera counting most because a few thousand AnTuTu points or a small brightness gap changes daily use less than a missing feature like wireless charging or 4K video. The Infinix Note 60 Edge takes second place by winning RAM & Memory with LPDDR5X and confirmed microSD.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G is third, with the lowest price at PKR 91,000 and the brightest 1800 nits HBM panel. The Poco M8 5G finishes last by a narrow margin. It wins on camera with 4K video and 2x optical zoom, but its 1080 x 2392 display and 5520 mAh battery are the weakest in the group.

Bottom line: Buy the Infinix Note 60 if PKR 102,000 fits your budget, and choose the Poco M8 5G only if camera features matter more to you than display and battery.
