Poco X2 Review: This is the budget phone for gamers

After Oppo created Realme, Chinese counterparts Xiaomi and Vivo have launched new brands named Poco and iQOO, respectively. While it helps create a buzz in a market that is going through a rough patch, Poco’s launch seems a bit rushed and this explains why the company made its debut with a handset without any unique characteristics of its own. As of now, it just feels like a rebranded version of Redmi K30, which is yet to launch in India.

Maybe, over time, the new brand will assert itself and show more creativity.

In terms of pricing of the new phone, Poco has hit the bull’s-eye. At ₹15,999, Poco X2 costs slightly less than Realme X2 ( ₹16,999), which is going to be its main nemesis on account of having comparable hardware.
