There is high-grade news for Poco fans. After the gap of 1.5 years, Poco again comes with its ‘X series’ which is Poco X2. Some of you might be pondering it is the sequel to Poco F1, but let me clarify you, it is the first-ever model of Poco X series starting with the model name X2. The phone successfully launched today (Feb 4, 2020) in Delhi, India. Last time Poco had launched Poco F1. If you savored that model, then you will adore Poco X2 also as it comes with several modern and additional features compared to Poco F1.

Also, today at the launch event the general manager of Poco India, C Manmohan announced that it’s not the successor to Poco F1 instead of this it’s the brand-new series run by Poco.

While the 2018 model featured the then flagship Snapdragon 845 SoC, the X2 shakes this year’s provocative update in the inclination of the 8nm 730G chip. Many fans are dissatisfied with the launch of Poco X2: as the phone is typically a rebrand of another Chinese model (Redmi K30), instead of that it is not built from the ground up like the Poco F1. Additionally, we cannot say it’s the successor of the F1 and the company likewise denied to call it so and prefaced the X series.

There is nothing wrong with that, furthermore, the company is now an independent brand and oversee its operation on its own.

Guess what the Poco X2 has Flushed-side mounted fingerprint embedded in the power button.
