After becoming an independent brand in India, Poco has launched its first device, namely, the Poco X2. The Poco X2 is part of the company’s brand new Poco X series. During the launch event, Poco India General Manager, C Manmohan, highlighted that the Poco X2 is not a successor to the Poco F1, hinting at the arrival of Poco F2 at a later date. The Poco X2 is a rebranded Redmi K30 for the Indian market and the specs on both the devices are similar. Key features of the Poco X2 include 120Hz refresh rate screen, Snapdragon 730G chipset, 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor and a 4500mAh battery with 27W fast charging support. The Poco X2 will be exclusive to Flipkart in the Indian market and it starts at Rs 16,999.

Poco X2: Specifications and Features
The Poco X2 features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display with 20:9 aspect ratio and Reality Flow 120Hz refresh rate. It is currently the cheapest phone in India to offer 120Hz refresh rate that helps in better gaming. And yes, the display used on the Poco X2 is an IPS LCD one with dual punch-hole cutout on the top right corner.
Underneath, the Poco X2 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, paired with Adreno 618 GPU. We have seen the Snapdragon 730G chipset in other phones like Realme X2 and Oppo Reno 2, but the Poco X2 is aggressively priced to take on the Realme X2 in the sub-Rs 20,000 segment. As seen with the Poco F1, the Poco X2 also offers Liquid Cooling technology. The handset comes with up to 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage.
