Poco X2 with 120Hz display, Snapdragon 730G now official

Poco recently unveiled the Poco X2. It’s not the “flagship killer” we’re hoping for, but it does come with some interesting specs.

As expected, the Poco X2 is a rebranded Redmi K30, brandishing the same design and spec sheet. Up front, the handset’s main draw is the 6.67-inch full HD+ display with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate, HDR 10 support, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G. Perhaps this is the most underwhelming feature for those expecting a flagship killer. For power, there’s a 4,500mAh battery with 27W fast charging. It charges through a USB Type-C port.

In true Poco fashion, the X2 comes with a friendly price tags. The 6GB + 64GB variant will retail for RS 15,999 (roughly PHP 11,500), the 6GB + 128GB for RS 16,999 (PHP 12,200), and the top end 8GB + 256GB for RS 19,999 (PHP 14,300).
