Poco X2 Full Specifications, Price and Release Date

The Xiaomi subsidiary unveiled its newest smartphone early on Tuesday: the Poco X2, implementing a design already known globally, surprisingly low price and 120 Hz screen, a major trend for the smartphone market this year.

This year Poco decides to be more extravagant than following the legacy of offering the most powerful hardware at the lowest possible price, at least in this release. Without the best chipset of the year, the Poco X2 offers an intermediate processor, the Snapdragon 730G, and it is possible that the company has other plans for 2020, being able to launch the true successor of the Poco F1 with Snapdragon 865.

What can best define the new Poco launch is the following sentence: the Poco X2 is a renamed Redmi K30. It offers the same specifications, same body and the same details as the smartphone presented by Redmi in December 2019.

Poco X2 Key Features

6.67 inch IPS LCD screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate
Hole display, FHD + and HDR10 resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset
6 GB or 8 GB of RAM
64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage
A fingerprint reader on the side, headphone jack, NFC and infrared
4,500 mAh battery with 27W fast charging
Android 10 under the MIUI 11 interface

Four rear cameras

64 MP Sony IMX686 main sensor with f / 1.9 aperture
8 MP sensor with a wide-angle lens
2 MP sensor with a macro lens
2 MP sensor for depth data

Two front cameras

20-megapixel main sensor
2 MP secondary sensor

With that, we have that set already known: 6.67-inch LCD screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, Full HD + resolution, and an oblong notch or in pill format. The set still keeps the Snapdragon 730G chipset in options with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB, 128 GB or even 256 GB of storage.

The camera sets remain exactly the same: at the rear, we have a Sony IMX686 sensor with 64 MP resolution, an 8 MP sensor for the wide-angle lens, a 2 MP sensor for macro photography and another 2 MP sensor for depth of field data. At the front, the number of cameras is cut in half, offering a 20 MP main sensor for selfies and a 2 MP sensor for depth data.

The Poco X2 also inherits the 4,500 mAh battery with Redmi K30, as well as the fast charging technology with 27W power.

Poco X2 Price and Release Date

Poco confirmed that the X2 will be available starting next Tuesday, February 11, exclusively at the Indian store Flipkart. In three different variants, prices start at 15,999 rupees, or $ 225 in approximate conversion, making the smartphone market in India even more competitive than it already was.

6 GB + 64 GB: 15,999 rupees ($ 225)

6 GB + 128 GB: 16,999 rupees (R $ 239)

8 GB + 256 GB: 19,999 rupees (R $ 281)

Poco has not confirmed the existence of a global version of the smartphone, which should come into direct conflict with the global variant of the Redmi K30 that may be announced in the coming months by the company. With this, the company must decide whether to launch the same smartphones at different prices or if it presents only one model for the world market.
