The independent Poco brand is expected to take the wraps off its first smartphone – POCO X2 – in an event scheduled to hold on February 4 in India. Ahead of the launch, the tech space has been buzzing with several official teasers, rumours and leaks of the X2. One of those is the rumour that the X2 will be a rebranded Redmi K30. That may just be true you know. The Poco X2 real-life image has leaked online ahead of its launch. The leaked image also comes along with the retail pricing of the device and some of its key specs.
The leaked poster gives us a clear view of the display and back panel of the X2. The design is practically the same as the Redmi K30 ith a dual punch-hole selfie shooter nested at the top right corner of the display. The rear is also similar to the Redmi K30. The only difference is the Poco logo stamped at the lower end of the back panel at the same location of the Redmi logo on the K30.

As for the specs and pricing, the poster shows the Poco X2 will come with a 6.67-inch 120Hz ‘RealityFlow Display’. It also packs a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 camera in a quad-camera arrangement. The device is also expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 730G chipset with a 4500mAh battery keeping the lights on.
The tip-off equally shows the X2 will sell for Rs 18,999 ($266) for the 6GB RAM/64GB storage version. Quite surprisingly, the leaked price tag is higher than the price of the Redmi K30 6GB/64GB variant in China which had a 1,599-yuan ($230) price tag. This may as well be a fake leak. The Poco F1 became popular for its cheap pricing and flagship specs.
If it turns out to be true, there you have it. The X2 is most likely hitting us with a Redmi K30 design and as our Editor-in-Chief Joe says, he’ll be disappointed if that eventually happens. I’ve been wondering how Joe is going to display his disappointment. Maybe we’ll compel him to do a video on that.
