This is the cheapest 120Hz display smartphone yet

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know that POCO is no longer a part of Xiaomi India and now operates independently. Now, the company has launched a new smartphone dubbed POCO X2, which is essentially a rebranded Redmi K30 currently available in China. As is the case with previous POCO branded phones, the POCO X2 offers quality specs at an affordable price — the POCO X2 is currently the cheapest smartphone that features 120Hz display.

The smartphone is powered by Snapdragon 730G coupled with 6GB/8GB RAM and it features an HDR 10 FHD+ display that has a screen refresh rate of 120Hz.
