The Poco F1 that was launched in August 2018 was a hit, all thanks to the flagship grade hardware it has, and coming with an aggressive price. Today, which is one and half year later, the company has announced the second smartphone tagged Xiaomi Poco X2.

Xiaomi Poco X2 Features
The Xiaomi Poco X2 is a direct successor to the Poco F1, but as we all expect, it is a rebranded Xiaomi Redmi K30, which is currently available in China. The Pcoco X2 is powered by the Snapdragon 720 chipset, and runs on MIUI 11 out-of-the-box. The phone is also available in three memory configurations – 6GB/64GB, 6GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB.
The Poco X2 is built around a 6.67 inch reality flow display of full HD+ resolution. The display has a refresh rate of 120Hz, supports HDR 10, and has a pill-shaped hole in the top-right corner which houses the 20MP and 2MP selfie cameras.
