The Samsung Galaxy F70 Pro has a new competitor in the best budget smartphone segment ever since Poco India announced the launch of the Poco M8 Power on X. Both smartphones pack similar-sized flat displays, RAM and storage options, decent cameras, and budget-friendly chipsets. With such similar specifications, it can be difficult for potential buyers to pick the right option.
This article compares the crucial device specifications of these two smartphones to help you make a better purchasing decision.
A detailed comparison between the Samsung Galaxy F70 Pro and the Poco M8 Power
Here is a quick glance at the key device specifications:
Build quality and display
The Samsung Galaxy F70 Pro packs a plastic frame with a textured leather-like matte rear finish. This unique finish on the back helps improve grip and prevents accidental smudges, scratches, or fingerprints. It also features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ for enhanced drop and scratch protection, and an IP64 rating for basic dust and splash protection.

The Poco M8 Power packs a solid all-plastic build with a matte plastic backplate finish. This protects the back panel from accidental smudges or fingerprints. Poco uses Gorilla Glass 7i to protect the display.
However, since Gorilla Glass Victus+ is significantly better than Gorilla Glass 7i, the Samsung display has much better display protection than its competitor. The Poco smartphone has an IP65 rating for basic protection from dust, water splashes, and light rain.

On the other hand, the Poco M8 Pro offers the Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset. While this octa-core chipset is also built on TSMC’s 4nm process, it can reach a max boost speed of 2.3 GHz. It also packs the Adreno 613 iGPU.
While the difference between the two processors’ boost speeds is negligible, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 6 chipset knocks its competitor out of the park with its iGPU performance. The Adreno 613 iGPU is a decent budget iGPU designed for smooth UI navigation, while the Adreno 710 of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 6 supports 10-bit HDR gaming. So, the Adreno 710 is more likely to meet your graphical and gaming requirements.
