POCO X2 Android 11 Update, MIUI 12 and Update Timeline
After the success of the POCO F1 a couple of years ago, MI’s sub-brand POCO launched the POCO X2 in February this year. After achieving brilliant success with POCO F1, which was dubbed as the “Flagship Killer” back then, the company has carried on in similar aspects and produced a mid-range budget phone with some stunning specifications.
Although the X2 misses out on Flagship Processor, which its predecessor had, it still comes with the Snapdragon 730G chipset that is highly regarded for its performance. But the POCO X2 picks up in other features, which are very attractive and eye-catching.
Some of the best features of the POCO X2 include a 120 Hz high refresh rate Full HD LCD Display of 6.67 inches, along with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a huge 4.500 mAh battery. The device also supports fast charging and comes with a 27W charger in the box.
POCO X2 has a quad-camera set-up at the back, including the primary 64MP sensor along with an 8MP ultrawide, a 2 MP macro, and another 2MP depth sensors. The front of the display has dual punch-hole cameras of 20 MP and 2MP, that clicks some crisp images besides giving the phone a modern look.
The POCO X2 starts at a price of just 17,499 for the base model, which goes up to 21,499 for the top-end model. It comes with a solid build, with Gorilla Glass 5 at the front and back. It comes with multiple RAM and Storage options. The base model has 64 gigs of memory and 6 GB RAM, whereas the higher-end model comes with 256 gigs of memory and 8GB of RAM for smooth performance. The phone was launched running on MIUI 11 skin on top of Android 10 but has received multiple updates since then.
