The POCO X2 smartphone will go official on Feb. 4. Yesterday, Hindustan Times released a poster of the upcoming POCO X2. Moreover, it also revealed that the handset will be priced at Rs. 18,999 (~$266) at launch. The leaked poster also carried some of the key specs of the phone. The design of the phone reveals that it is a rebranded version of the Redmi K30 4G that was announced in December in China. The smartphone has now appeared in some live shots. One of the them reveals that it is powered by the Snapdragon 730G which again hints that it is a rebadged Redmi K30.
In the above shown live shot, the POCO X2 moniker and its ‘phoenixin’ codename can be found mentioned in the AnTuTu benchmarks. It also reveals that the phone is driven by the Snapdragon 7150 SoC which is nothing but the internal name of the Snapdragon 730G.
Some other live shots of the POCO X2 have revealed some of its hardware features. A closer shot of the top portion of the POCO X2 gives a good look at its dual selfie snapper located at the top-right corner of the screen. The slim bezel at the top has a large-sized earpiece. The size of the earpiece suggests that it may also function as a loudspeaker. Hence, the POCO X2 is likely to come equipped with stereo speakers.
As it was revealed yesterday, the POCO X2 will be sporting a 6.67-inch ‘RealityFlow Display’ that offers 120Hz refresh rate. The screen will be protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The handset will have a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 as a primary shooter in its quad-camera system.
The report had also revealed that the POCO X2 with 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage will be priced at Rs. 18,999 (~$266) in India. The phone may come in some other RAM and storage variants. It will be available exclusively through Flipkart in India.
The Redmi K30 also comes with all the above features along with other specs like a 20-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera setup, up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, a 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast charging.
