Poco X2 is still one of the best devices in the Rs 20,000 price point in terms of performance, the aim for the next device is more or less the same.

“With people spending more time at home, gaming has become an integral part of our life. This pushed us to introduce the latest 732G mobile platform with the aim to offer a much better overall as well as gaming performance to our consumers,” said Qualcomm’s Sachin Kalantri.

Overall, the Snapdragon 732G platform has been upgraded in terms of three aspects — gaming, CPU, and AI performance. “Combining the three aspects will allow Snapdragon 732G to become a much better gaming platform,” Kalantri noted.

“Poco will be the first brand globally to launch the platform, Snapdragon 732G. The partnership with Qualcomm worked really well for us starting with the Poco F1 that used SD 845 followed by Poco X2 and M2 Pro,” Manmohan said. “We have worked with Qualcomm on multiple levels to bring this platform to the upcoming Poco device we are planning to launch soon,” he further noted.
