Merely a couple of weeks after Poco announced that it will operate independently from Xiaomi, the company has today launched its new smartphone in India. It’s the second device to launch under the Poco brand but is not the Poco F1 successor we had all been eagerly looking forward to. Poco X2 is a mid-range offering with a Snapdragon 730G chipset, 120Hz display, and a quad-camera setup.
In the days leading up to the launch, Poco X2 teasers confirmed that it will launch in India as a rebranded Redmi K30 4G and well, that’s indeed true. Poco X2 is the same device, as you can see in the image attached here. It has a glass sandwich design with Gorilla Glass 5 protection both on the front and back.
As for the selfie camera, the punch-hole packs a 20MP (f/2.2) primary camera and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor with a wide 83-degree FOV. Now, I bet you must have read this already but there are two separate holes here instead of one, which I’m not a fan of. This camera setup will help you capture better portrait pictures.
Price and Availability
Poco X2 has been priced starting at Rs. 15,999 for the 6GB+64GB base variant. But, you will have to shell out Rs 16,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant, and Rs 19,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant.
The Poco X2 will be available in three attractive colors namely Atlantis Blue, Matrix Purple, and Phoenix Red. It will go on sale starting from 11th February, exclusively on Flipkart.
