POCO X2 just like other phones in India received a price hike in April due to the new 18% GST. On May 31st, its price was once again bumped but only for the base and mid variant. Now, the high-end 8GB + 256B also gets its second price hike making it ₹1,500 costlier than its launch price.
POCO X2 launched in India as a rebranded Redmi K30 4G in February 2020. It is the brand’s second smartphone as well as its first with 120Hz refresh rate display. Since its debut in the country, it has been one of the best contenders in the sub-₹20,000 price segment.
The handset launched in three storage configurations in India for a starting price of ₹15,999 for the base 6GB + 64GB variant. Whereas, the mid 6GB + 128GB and high-end 8GB + 256GB were introduced for ₹16,999 and ₹19,999 respectively.
But now, after two price hikes of ₹1,000 and ₹500, the POCO X2 costs ₹17,499, ₹18,499, and ₹21,499 in India for all the three variants.
Even after the increment of price, the POCO X2 still remains one of the best phones in its segment competing with the likes of Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, Realme 6 Pro, Realme X2, and others.
