POCO X2 specs: It’s no POCO F1, for better or worse
August 10, 2025
We’ve waited a long time for a new POCO smartphone, and we’ve finally got one in thePOCO X2. Don’t expect a direct sequel to thePOCO F1though.
In fact, the POCO X2 is actually a rebranded version of theRedmi K30 4G, which was released in China last month. Still, there’s plenty to like about the phone when you look at the spec sheet (and when you see theprice). you may check out the full list of POCO X2 specs below.
POCO X2 specs uncovered
The POCO X2 clearly isn’t a flagship when you pore over the power-related specs, offering aQualcomm Snapdragon 730Gchipset in lieu of theSnapdragon 865high-end processor. The Snapdragon 730G is still a powerful chip, but you’re able to expect proper flagships to out-pace it on paper. Other noteworthy core specs include 6 to 8GB of RAM, and storage options of 64, 128, and 256GB.
Poco’s latest device does stand out thanks to the 6.67-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with its 20:9 aspect ratio. Yes, it’s an LCD panel, but it also offers a120Hzrefresh rate that doubles the 60Hz rate seen on normal phones. In plain English, a higher refresh rate enables smoother performance when navigating through menus, web browsing, or playing supported games. This refresh rate is also higher than the likes of thePixel 4andOnePlus 7T(touting90Hz), but tied with theASUS ROG Phone 2andRazer Phoneseries.
The biggest downside to a high refresh rate is that it requires more juice, but the POCO X2 is packing a pretty substantial battery in a 4,500mAh pack. You’re not gettingwireless charginghere, but 27W wired charging should top you up in just over an hour.
Looking for agreat smartphone photography experience? The POCO X2 fits the bill on paper, delivering a quad rear-camera setup. This layout consists of a 64MP IMX686 primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide sensor (120 degree field of view), 2MP macro camera, and 2MP depth sensor.
There isn’t optical image stabilization for the main camera unfortunately, so you’d best have steady hands or use a tripod in low light. Unfortunately, there’s no telephoto zoom here either, so you’ll need to crop in on shots from the 64MP camera instead.
Other details include a punch-hole cutout on the display hosting a 20MP+2MP selfie camera pairing, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a3.5mm port, and MIUI 11 for POCO atopAndroid 10.
