Poco is gearing up for a big comeback in the Indian smartphone space with Poco X2. It will be just second smartphone from Poco which debuted in August 2018 with Poco F1. Earlier this year, Poco separated from Xiaomi to become an independent brand. Ahead of the Poco X2 launch, Poco has already confirmed a few features of the upcoming flagship phone. Let's take a look.

Price

We reported last week that Poco X2's 6GB and 64GB variant will be priced at 18,999. It's likely the phone will be available in more variants. Considering the 18,999 is price for the base model, Poco X2 seems to be targeted at the same top-tier mid-range smartphone segment. The phone is confirmed to be available online via Flipkart.

Camera

Another big takeaway from our report on Poco X2 was the camera. Poco X2 will have as many as four rear cameras including a 64-megapixel sensor. The smartphone will come with a newer Sony IMX686 sensor. The front will have dual punch-hole cameras.
