Design and Build Quality

The phone offers the same glossy double glass design with internal reflection patterns that has become a cliche in smartphones. It uses a side-mounted fingerprint sensor mounted on the flat power/lock screen button. The fingerprint sensor and the volume rocker are at the right hand side. The dual in screen front cameras are at the top right hand side corner. The back cameras are aligned vertically along with the dual tone LED light. An IR blaster and the speaker hole occupy the top, while the microphone hole, USB Type-C port and the 3.5mm jack reside at the bottom.

Key Features

The Poco X2 uses an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset. The chipset has two Gold performance cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Silver efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz. It combines an Adreno 618 GPU with LiquidCool technology for seamless gaming and graphic experience. The device features LPDDR4X dual-channel memory and is available with 6GB and 8GB RAM options. The camera offers storage capacities of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB (UFS 2.1).

The phone uses a 16.94cm (6.67-inch) FHD+ incell RD Display (HDR 10 Display) with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (Full-HD), providing a pixel density of 395 PPI. The screen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 layer.
