The Poco X8 Pro improves on the X7 Pro with more powerful hardware, a larger battery, and a more compact but brighter display. The Iron Man Edition gets a black overhaul with a redesigned retail box and case.

Unboxing the Poco X8 Pro
The Poco X8 Pro comes with a cable and a case if you choose the regular version. Some markets will always get a 90W charger inside the box, while others – like EU – will only get a charger bundle for initial orders.
The Iron Man Edition features a larger box that is reminiscent of Iron Man’s iconic suit with the traditional red and gray color scheme. The custom case features a ribbed design that reflects the Power Armor’s torso and a mix of matte and glossy materials.
It also features a Marvel-branded SIM ejector and a thick piece of cardboard depicting Iron Man’s power armor.
The USB cable is also personalized in red, which matches the box and the OG Iron Man suit.
Before we go any further, we should also mention the Iron Man 3 action figure – this is just a retail action figure by ZD Toys, and is not part of the Iron Man Edition packaging.
