The Poco X2 has just been announced in India. This high end mid-range phone is a rebranded version of the Redmi K30 that was launched in China about 2 months ago.
The X2 features a 6.67-inches Full HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and dual punch-hole selfie cameras with a 20MP lens that has a 78° FOV and a 2MP Portrait lens with a FOV 83°. Since it doesn’t have an AMOLED screen, the phone is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The main camera department of the Poco X2 consists of a 64MP Sony IMX 686 lens with an f/1.89 aperture, an 8MP ultra wide-angle lens with an f/2.2 aperture 120° field-of-view, a 2MP Super Macro Lens, an f/2.4 aperture 2cm focus, a 2MP Depth sensor with an f/2.4 aperture, 10x digital zoom and a dual LED flash.
The device runs on Android 10 with MIUI 11 out of the box, and comes with the Poco Launcher. The Poco X2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730g processor, an Adreno 618 GPU, 6GB/8GB RAM with 64GB/128GB/256GB UFS 2.1 storage. It has a microSD card slot for expandable memory.
The Poco X2 houses a liquid cooling pipe to reduce thermal levels while gaming. The phone is backed by a 4500mAh battery that supports 27W fast charging (charger included in the box).
