Poco recently launched the latest smartphone after a year, and there were many questions about this phone. However, where people were worried about purchasing the smartphone, it’s likely now a successor to POCOC X2, but instead, it’s here to compete against Realme X2. Today we are going to share an in-depth review about the Poco X2 problems, where the device launched with a price bracket of Rs 16,000.
Quick SPECS
The first thing is that the Poco X2 comes with a 6.67-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 780 SoC based on an 8-nm Octa-core CPU. The chipset is paired with 64/128/256GB of onboard storage, along with 6/8GB of onboard storage. Whereas, the device supports a dual nano SIM and hybrid microSD card slot.
In terms of camera performance, the device has a 64MP IMX686 primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. Moreover, on the front is a dual selfie camera housing a 20MP + 2MP depth sensor. To power it, the device is equipped with a 4500mAh battery using a 27W fast charger, and it runs on Android 10-based MIUI 11 out of the box.
What’s Good!
First things first, the Poco F1 has a polycarbonate rear panel, and this device comes with a Gorilla Glass-feel premium device. The build quality of the equipment is likely good, and the device itself feels comfortable in the hands. Apart from that, the device is quite heavy but isn’t a deal-breaker for most of the users. The device doesn’t have an AMOLED; instead, it uses an IPS LCD, which means it uses a side-mounted fingerprint scanner placed on the power button. We believe the side-mounted fingerprint scanner is one of the most underrated technologies that manufacturers haven’t used.
If you are excited and thinking of buying just for the 120Hz refresh rate, then you should know that not every app, such as Twitter, doesn’t support 120Hz. Noteworthy is that the device is most useful for gamers, but your game should support the game. Also, you can switch up to 60 Hz, and the device works even outside because it has IPS. The panel of the device display seems good but is not as crispy. Vibrant color reproduction is not comparable to AMOLED.
Performance
The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chips, a capable processor to handle daily tasks, even gaming. Ram management is also excellent, but MIUI itself kills the background apps for general usage. Additionally, it comes with an IR blaster that allows you to control TV, audio, and other functionality. It also charges well, and the device also supports 18W Qualcomm Quick Charging. Even for aggressive users, the battery life of the tool gives you a full day, which is even better for aggressive users.
PUBG and Call of Duty are easily playable at very high settings, along with having liquid cooling to maintain the temperature. We believe the device should be AMOLED at 60 Hz instead of an IPS LCD at 120 Hz. There are no MicroSD card slots. You can’t use dual SIM and microSD, which is likely bad in India.
Network Connectivity.
The quality of the microphone and the earpiece of the device is clear, and you will also get VoWiFi, which is by default enabled. Which means you didn’t have any issues with the network precipitation. The bottom speaker is acceptably loud.
Camera
The device has a quad camera setup along with a dual LED flash. The images were sharp and detailed. The camera did a great job, but portrait mode didn’t seem apparent with the edges. As for video recording, the stabilization is gyro-EIS. Meanwhile, you can record even at an ultra-wide angle, but that doesn’t enable an EIS for wide-angle.
