We’re only days away from the official launch of the upcoming POCO X2, but we hadn’t got any concrete design details until now. A fresh leak has just given us our first look at the live images of the POCO X2. The live shots reveal a few key specifications and, as previously suspected, confirm that POCO X2 is a rebranded Redmi K30.
Bearing the code name “phoenixin,” the Xiaomi Pocophone X2 is powered by a Snapdragon 730G chipset (even though the photographed settings menu says SM7150, which is simply another name for the aforementioned chipset.)
You can also make out a twin-selfie-camera setup housed inside a pill-style cutout, placed on the top-right corner. The display that touts this optics package is dubbed ‘RealityFlow Display.’ It measures 6.67 inches and can produce a 2K resolution at a 120 Hz refresh rate.
As WhatMobile noted in a previous post, the rear-camera setup features a custom-built Sony lens that uses ‘All-pixel omnidirectional focusing technology’ to capture better low-light shots. This 64-megapixel IMX686 shooter will be part of a quad-camera system, aligned in a vertical layout.
If you go by the specs on the Redmi K30, the lenses rounding off this custom sensor should be an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel macro sensor, and finally a 2-megapixel portrait cam.
While Redmi K30 debuted with 256 GB of native storage and 8 GB of memory, a report suggests that the POCO X2 might rock a downgraded configuration, and combine 6 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, at a lesser Xiaomi price tag.
In a similar vein, the K30 was powered by a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 30W fast-charging, but X2’s official landing page on Flipkart reveals that it will support 27W fast-charging, hinting at a subtly smaller battery capacity. We’ll have more details before the phone goes official on February 4.
