The Poco X2 is basically identical to a Xiaomi phone that was recently announced for China, the Redmi K30.
The Poco X2 is the first phone in India to feature Sony’s new 64-megapixel IMX686 sensor, the successor to the 48-megapixel IMX586, and that part is backed by an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 2-megapixel macro module, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. There’s also a 20-megapixel selfie camera with a 2-megapixel depth sensor housed in a hole-punch display cutout.
Poco has always kept gamers in mind. The POCO X2 comes with a copper tube for liquid cooling, thus avoiding over-heating while playing hardcore games.
The Poco X2 costs Rs. 15,999 ($225) for a model with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, compared to Realme’s Rs. 16,999 ($239) 4GB/64GB entry-level model.
The Poco X2 will be available in India on Flipkart from noon on February 11th.
