The official announcement of the date is accompanied by the hashtag #SmoothAF, which means in free translation "Smooth as ku * va". POCO chose really interesting marketing and it is clear where it is going. The X2 will come with a display with a higher refresh rate.
They also revealed specifications
The producer also shared a lot in the Twitter post simple websitewhich attracts to the performance. If you open it via your smartphone, the display frequency counter will appear on your smartphone.
POCO is aware that most of today's smartphones operate at the classic 60 Hz and thus entices the new model with the question, "How does it feel to use 2 decades old technology?". On the page, there is only a button with the slogan "BeSmoothAF" that redirects you to the next page with a countdown to the performance and slightly revealed parameters of the novelty.
Some time ago, there were speculations on the Internet that POCO X2 will basically be renamed Redmi The K30 4G and the new website now only confirm it. At the beginning, it mentions an "extreme refresh rate" that will provide an extreme gaming experience.
This suggests to 120 Hz displaywhich the K30 has and which should also get the new X2.
The camera is also mentioned, with the banner clearly indicating the number "686", which means 64 MPx sensor Sony IMX686. This one also contains Redmi K30. The number 6 in the teaser could also indicate a total of 6 cameras, 4 at the back and a dual front-facing camera at the front.
The website further reveals the use of a Snapdragon processor, liquid cooling and also fast charging. The last point about charging is accompanied by an image we've already seen somewhere… at the reveal Redmi K30. Well, see for yourself.
Rebrand is a well-known practice at Xiaomi
All this information almost confirms that the smartphone POCO X2 will just be renamed Redmi K30 intended for India and probably the European market as well. However, changing the names of Xiaomi smartphones and their subsidiary brands is nothing new.
Last year, for example Redmi The K20 and K20 Pro were launched in Europe as the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro. The same fate befell the smartphones of the new Xiaomi CC9, CC9e or CC9 Pro series, which are sold in Europe under the names Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, Xiaomi Mi A3 and Xiaomi Mi Note 10.
It looks like Xiaomi just created a new brand in its portfolio under which it will sell basically the same smartphones. That the expected flagship Redmi K30 Pro outside of China ended up as POCO F2? Let's be surprised.
As soon as it is POCO X2 introduced, we will send you an email. ?
