Exactly on January 17, 2020, we learned that the POCO brand is separated from Xiaomi and becomes "independent." It follows in the footsteps of the already well-known Redmi, who took the same step at a similar time a year ago.
POCO is starting to take off and we already know the official launch date of their first smartphone.
#Smooth
This is exactly the slogan of the upcoming smartphone. The manufacturer has announced on its Twitter account the official launch date of this smartphone, which fell on February 4, 2020. It is also officially confirmed that it will be a POCO X2 smartphone. We will have to wait a while for POCO F2.
An Xperience that will make you go, "Bruh, it's #Smooth". # POCOX2 is arriving on February 4th 2020.

The official announcement of the date is accompanied by the hashtag #SmoothAF, which means in free translation "Smooth as ku * va". POCO has chosen a really interesting marketing and it is clear where it is going. The X2 comes with a display with a higher refresh rate.
They also revealed specifications
The producer also shared a lot in the Twitter post simple websitewhich attracts to the performance. If you open it via your smartphone, the display frequency counter will appear on your smartphone.
POCO is aware that most of today's smartphones work on the classic 60 Hz and thus attracts the new model with the question, "How does it feel to use 2 decades old technology?". Then there is only a button on the page with the slogan "BeSmoothAF" that redirects you to the next page with a countdown to the performance and slightly revealed parameters of the novelty.
There has long been speculation on the Internet that the POCO X2 will essentially be renamed the Redmi K30 4G, and the new website now only confirms this. At the beginning, it mentions an "extreme refresh rate" that will provide an extreme gaming experience.
This suggests to 120 Hz displaywhich the K30 has and which should also get the new X2.
The camera is also mentioned, with the banner clearly indicating the number "686", which means 64 MPx sensor Sony IMX686. This also contains the Redmi K30. The number 6 in the banner can also indicate a total of 6 cameras, 4 at the back and a dual front camera at the front.
The website further reveals the use of the Snapdragon processor, liquid cooling and also fast charging. The last point about charging is accompanied by a picture that we have already seen somewhere… revealing the Redmi K30. After all, see for yourself.
Rebrand is a well-known practice at Xiaomi
All this information almost confirms that the POCO X2 smartphone will only be renamed the Redmi K30 intended for India and probably also the European market. However, the name change of Xiaomi smartphones and their subsidiaries is nothing new.
Last year, for example, the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro were introduced in Europe as the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro. The same fate befell the smartphones of the new Xiaomi CC9, CC9e or CC9 Pro series, which are sold in Europe under the names Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, Xiaomi Mi A3 and Xiaomi Mi Note 10.
It looks like Xiaomi has only created a new brand in its portfolio, under which it will sell essentially the same smartphones. Should the expected flagship Redmi K30 Pro outside China end up as a POCO F2? Let's be surprised.
We will send you an email as soon as POCO X2 is introduced. ?
