Technical specifications
Poco X2 is the second offering by the company after a long gap. They launched Poco F1 two years ago and now that Poco is a stand-alone company they will be taking the fight with the mid-segment players. Tech specs-wise the Poco X2 features in three storage and RAM variants. These are: 6GB RAM/64GB storage, 6GB RAM/128GB storage and 8GB RAM/256GB storage. These are built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset, which is the same as the one found on Realme X2. So, yes this is hardcore competition from the get-go. But, what Poco X2 does better is with top-of-the-line liquid cooling, better tech specs and super aggressive pricing that it comes with. Moving forward, Poco X2 comes with a quad-camera setup at the back. This includes the 64MP Sony IMX 686 sensor as the primary camera, 8MP wide-angle sensor, 2MP depth sensor and another 2MP sensor for macro shots. Slow-motion video captures up 960FPS as well as support for RAW shooting is also there. They have also added a Vlog mode in the mix to get that extra edge. The front camera is powered by two sensors. The first one is a 20MP wide-angle lens and the next is a 2MP sensor for depth. A punch hold camera cutout is there on the smartphone, which houses these two sensors. The battery in the Poco X2 is powered by rechargeable 4,500 mAh cell that comes with 27W fast charger in the box. Moving towards the screen, the Poco X2 comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ display that has an aspect ratio of 20:9. This is one of the main attractions of the smartphone.

Over that, the Poco X2 comes with Corning Gorilla 5 on both front and back. Again giving it the upper has as much of its competition is still giving plastic back.
