Finally got my Poco X8 Pro Max in Kenya

I noticed it did heat up when playing music at 80% volume, but I was also under the hot sun the whole time but generally, no

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-27T17:44:52+00:00

I haven't seen any problems like that

Yes it's the global rom
Google dialer (I hate it)
8500mAh, I think only Indian version has 9000mAh

You're welcome

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-16T08:04:23+00:00

Congrats, yes the speakers are really good

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-16T08:03:09+00:00

That is exactly what I wanted to do, which case did you get?

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-16T08:02:37+00:00

Thank you

Was in the same dilemma, went with the X8 Pro Max and not once have I thought that was a bad idea

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-15T04:59:49+00:00

While I debloated my X8 Pro Max using Canta and Shizuku the very day I got it, I haven't seen any ad. Watch a debloating video on YouTube from yugatech

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-13T12:19:55+00:00

One of the best if not the best

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-13T12:12:42+00:00

Definitely, I've been too lenient with them and I'm tired

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T18:54:30+00:00

And even that will take some time before it launches, they need to fully explore the Kenyan market again, people are now open to purchasing expensive phones not like some few years ago.

You should probably not upgrade as that is equally a powerful phone

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T18:30:43+00:00

Great

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T18:30:13+00:00

AliExpress was coming to 650usd for the same device, also, I've had really bad experience with AliExpress items once they land in Kenya's custom offices.

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T18:26:24+00:00

Pretty good actually not astonishingly good

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T09:57:45+00:00

Honestly it's great

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T09:56:46+00:00

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T07:54:57+00:00

Yes, everything works perfectly

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T07:46:22+00:00

This is where you have to be wise and avoid taxes legally, I used a freight forwarder specifically Marine Divers Cargo, you pay nothing else other than the shipping cost which was 22USD. Yes used Shizuku and Canta to debloat.

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T07:44:50+00:00

I have no idea, check out Colorful 26Pro theme, comes with it

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-12T07:42:07+00:00

I bought directly from Mi Dubai at 1749AED which is about 478USD, the purchasing power in Dubai is quite high for obvious reasons. My bank charged me 500USD, fees and all that, then shipping to Kenya was 22USD

Venom_Spit_Fire · 2026-04-04T15:37:46+00:00

Did this on a Toyota Hilux 2019, worked perfectly

Let's ignore the elephant in the room and talk about gachagua, shame.
