The Poco X2 is finally launched. Almost after 18 months, Poco has launched its second handset. After announcing that it won't be a Xiaomi sub-brand, Poco is restoring its strategies and has formed a new team headed by C Manmohan.

This is the second phone in the country to offer 120Hz refresh rate apart from the Asus ROG Phone II.

At the rear, there is a quad-camera setup including a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 1/1.7-inch sensor, with a 6P lens system offering an f/1.89 aperture. This is combined with a 5-megapixel macro lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel sensor with a 120-degree wide-angle lens. There is a dual selfie camera setup with a 20-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor in the front. Similar to Redmi K30, there is a 4,500mAh battery with support for 27W fast charge support.

Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual-SIM slots, IR blaster, P2i water repellant coating, USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack and runs on MIUI 11 based on Android 10.

The smartphone will be available in three variants with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and a top of the line 8GB RAM with 256GB storage variant. All variants come with microSD card expandability. The phone will come in three colour options- Matrix Purple, Pheonix Red and Atlantis Blue.
