Poco X2 launched as the brand’s second smartphone in February 2020 almost one and a half year from the launch of Poco F1. It is a rebranded Redmi K30 4G and is only limited to India. Now, after 4 months from its release, the handset’s price has been hiked (increased) second time. The phone now costs up to ₹1,500 more than its launch price.
Poco became an independent brand ahead of the announcement of Poco X2. Hence, the device is exclusively available on Flipkart and cannot be bought Mi.com in India.
The handset comes in three storage configurations – 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. They debuted at the price of ₹15,999, ₹16,999, and ₹19,999 respectively.
But within two months from its release, a new GST (Goods and Services Tax) for phones came into effective from April. This led the brand to increase the price of all the storage variants by ₹1,000. Thus, they were available for ₹16,999, ₹17,999, and ₹20,999 up until May 30.
But from May 31, Poco has once again hiked the price of base and mid variants of Poco X2 by another ₹500. Hence, the handset now costs ₹17,499, ₹18,499, and ₹20,999 respectively since the higher-end variant did not receive any price hike this time.
Here’s a table to understand the new price of Poco X2 in India.
