The recent launch of the Redmi Note 9 series may end up being a blessing in disguise for the Poco X2, Poco’s latest smartphone. Recall that the Poco X2 was launched in India last month after a hiatus from the Xiaomi-nurtured OEM following the release of the Poco F1 in 2018. The Poco X2 has been well-received even with a design that is practically the same as the Redmi K30.

It has now emerged that Poco X2 has been crowned as the highest-rated smartphone on Flipkart. The device scored an average user rating of 4.6 out of 5 to outshine other rival brands that have more than 10,000 user ratings in just a month after it was released. The product page shows that the X2 has received rave reviews and top ratings from over 20,000 users as of March 13, 2020.

As regards the feat which could be considered a milestone, Manmohan Chandolu, General Manager, POCO India had this to say; “We are ecstatic with this achievement and want to thank all our customers who have been a part of this new-yet-fruitful journey. Since POCO X2’s launch last month, we have received an amazing response from across all categories of users and I am confident that it is just the beginning. We intend to continue the momentum and keep up with the gusto.”

POCO X2 packs an impressive 6.67-inch display powered by the RealityFlow 120Hz engine, a first in this category. The display offers a tall 20:9 aspect ratio wrapped around a 3D curved glass body, which enables a large cinematic screen experience. It is worthy of note that the Poco X2 happens to be India’s first smartphone to feature the Sony IMX686 camera sensor.

POCO X2 is available on Flipkart but you’ll have to wait until March 17 when the next flash sale will hold at 12 noon.
