Last January 4, like a bolt from the blue, the Indian division of Xiaomi that we know how POCOPHONE she split from the parent company and became a independent brand to all effects. Following this important step, its first smartphone was announced (the second actually, given the flagship killer POCOPHONE F1) POCOPHONE that, finally, was presented today. Between hype and disappointment it is basically a rebranded Redmi K30: For this reason many Indian users have affirmed themselves at all happy with the move. In any case, below all the characteristics of the heir of the true flagship killer (yes, we can't call him that too).
POCOPHONE X2 is official: features, details and prices
For convenience we put the live presentation below which you can see and listen as it is in English. Instead, below we will put in writing all the features of the device just presented.
Display POCOPHONE
Let's start with what you see immediately from the smartphone, that is the display. The first thing the general manager of POCO communicates us is the transition from format 16: 9 to 20: 9 Cinematic Display: this means a larger display than before and therefore a better view. This is not the only improvement since, as we know from various leaks of this period, the device has also arrived on the device screen refresh rate at 120Hz. Little curiosity for the more attentive: "SmoothAF "does not mean" Smooth As F * ck "but" Smooth As Fast ".
Obviously this feature brings a much better user experience (not only gaming) to that at 60 and 90Hz, at the expense of battery life. Given the name, the comparison with could not fail Realme X2, direct rival of the POCO X2. The device will come out of the box with a type glass Corning Gorilla Glass 5 (also on the back)
performances POCOPHONE
When we talk about performances we obviously speak of processor. We have known for some time that the device carries a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G, among the most powerful of the 7 series of the American giant. At the GPU level we find one Adreno 618 which allows a good 15% more video rendering speed. It is interesting to note that, in comparison with Realme X2, after five benchmark cycles the POCO always remains on the same line of performance, while the Realme tends to decline.
Ultimately however we see a great one step forward compared to POCO F1 also in terms of cooling. Thanks to the new LiquidCool Technology on the device it will be possible to make long gaming sessions without ever feeling hot on the hands: this new generation of liquid cooling allows a 300% faster heat transfer compared to cell phones without this technology.
The best performances are also seen in the opening of the applications and in fact an improvement has also been made at the software level. Below is a comparison with Realme X2. At the level of memories we have up to 8 GB of RAM memory LPDDR4X e up to 256 GB of internal UFS 2.1 storage (we actually expected better). In particular the available configurations will be 6 GB - 64 GB, 6 GB -128 GB and 8 GB - 256 GB.
Battery POCOPHONE
As for the charging cell we find a very durable 4500 mAh which can be recharged thanks to a power of 27W. The charger that supports this power is already in the box. Aspect on which the manager wanted to focus is the rear temperature during charging: thanks to the liquid cooling il POCOPHONE manages to maintain a relatively low and decidedly temperature poco dangerous (in the images the comparison with the Realme is clear). Interesting is the difference of charger temperature itself which is 7 ° C lower than the competitor.
Camera POCOPHONE
One of the most important factors today is the photographic sector e POCO X2 does not want to disappoint: it is the first device in India to come out with the sensor Sony IMX 686 to 64 megapixel as main, accompanied by a 2 megapixel macroa ultra wide 8 megapixel and one 2 megapixel depth sensor. As for the front cameras, those embedded in the display, we find two 20 + 2 megapixel sensors.
It is fair to remember that the software also wants its part in making good photographs, and not just the amount of pixels. Regardless of this there will be an opportunity to capture images in RAW format, to register a 960fps for slow motion videos and to access the VLOG mode which is now so fashionable.
Colors and price POCOPHONE
The available colors will be 3: Atlantis Blue, Matrix Purple and Phoenix Red. The prices are hallucinatory: 15.999 Indian rupees for the version 6 GB - 64 GB at the current exchange rate € 203, 16.999 Indian rupees for the 6 GB - 128 GB at the current exchange rate € 216 and 19.999 Indian rupees for the 8 GB - 256 GB at the current exchange rate € 254.
