POCO has finally broken its hiatus with the official reveal of the new POCO X2.
While it’s considered as a new phone, the POCO X2 is actually just a rebranded Redmi K30. But that’s to be expected, as the brand itself confirmed it with a teaser a couple of days ago.
Previously, POCO was believed to launch the successor of the popular Pocophone F1 this month. However, the company denied the rumors and said that they will launch a completely different phone.
POCO X2’s main highlight is its 6.67-inch Full HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate. It runs on the Android 10-based MIUI 11 with POCO launcher pre-installed and it’s powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 730G SoC. In addition, the handset has a 4,500mAh battery capacity and 27W fast charging.
