Unboxing the POCO X2 Pro: A Hands-On Review
The POCO X2 Pro is a budget-friendly smartphone that promises to deliver impressive performance and camera capabilities. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the device's design, features, and camera capabilities.
Design and Build Quality
------------------------
The POCO X2 Pro has a sleek and modern design that is sure to turn heads. The phone's build quality is also impressive, with a metal frame and glass back that gives it a premium feel. However, one thing to note is that the phone's design can be a bit tricky to clean, as the camera lens protrudes slightly from the body. When you rest the phone on its edge, the camera lens can make contact with the screen, which may cause damage if not handled carefully.
The phone's dimensions are 165 x 76.8 x 9.2mm, and it weighs around 192g. It's a bit heavier than some of its competitors, but the extra weight is likely due to the phone's larger battery capacity.
Camera Capabilities
------------------
The POCO X2 Pro boasts a quad-camera setup on the rear, which includes a 48MP primary sensor, a 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and two 5MP depth sensors. While this may not be as impressive as some of the flagship phones on the market, it's still a respectable lineup that should handle most photography tasks.
When we took some test shots with the phone, we noticed that the camera sometimes struggles to capture accurate colors, particularly in green-dominated environments. The skin tones look slightly over-saturated, which may be a concern for those who want more natural-looking photos.
On the other hand, the ultra-wide-angle lens does a decent job of capturing expansive scenes, and the macro mode is surprisingly effective. However, the portrait mode could use some improvement, as it struggles to detect the edges of subjects with skin tones that are similar in brightness to the background.
Battery Life
-------------
The POCO X2 Pro packs a massive 5,000mAh battery, which should provide all-day usage for most users. When paired with the Snapdragon 7.20 G processor, this phone promises excellent power efficiency and long battery life.
We're not sure how the phone's battery life compares to some of its competitors, but it's clear that POCO has put a lot of thought into optimizing performance and power consumption.
Software Experience
-----------------
The POCO X2 Pro runs on Android 11 out of the box, with MIUI 12.5 on top. While this software experience is generally smooth and responsive, we did notice some quirks, such as the camera app's UI being a bit cluttered and disorganized.
Overall, however, the phone's software experience feels solid and reliable, with features like Google Assistant integration and AI-powered photo editing tools.
Front-Facing Camera
-----------------
The front-facing camera on the POCO X2 Pro is 16MP, which may seem modest compared to some of the flagship phones on the market. However, in our testing, we found that this camera still delivers impressive results, particularly when it comes to capturing portraits and selfies.
One thing to note, however, is that the camera can be a bit finicky when it comes to lighting conditions. We experienced some issues with overexposure in low-light shots, which may be a concern for those who want more flexibility in their photography.
Conclusion
----------
The POCO X2 Pro is an impressive budget-friendly smartphone that offers a lot of value for its price. While the camera capabilities may not be as polished as some of the flagship phones on the market, it's still a respectable lineup that should handle most photography tasks.
Overall, this phone feels like a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed budget device. With its large battery capacity, powerful processor, and impressive camera capabilities, it's clear that POCO has put a lot of thought into creating a compelling package.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is Ranjith and in this video let's do the unboxing and have a first look at this poco m2 pro and I would say this is sort of like a little brother of the poco x2 but I don't get invited the name it anyways let's have a closer look at the same and if you look at the back as you can see it is part by the snapdragon 720 g processor it was very close to performance in terms to the snapdragon 730 g and surprising thing is the hack now they're bundled at 33 watt fast charger and the battery capacity has increased to fifth five thousand milliamp hour but the camera as you can see it's a forty eight megapixel quad camera setup if you recall the port way to had a 64 megapixel Sony sensor the display size is the same six point six seven inch but this one as sixty Hertz the poco x2 had that hand 20 Hertz still can't get it why do they call it pros but regarding storage as you can see this is the 6 gigabyte RAM variant that comes with 64gb of storage there'll be also one mode medium that will come with 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 GB storage and one more variant 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage so let's quickly just open this up and when I ask the team I'm making this video before the launch I don't know the pricing they said that it will start below 15,000 so I'm assuming the base with it might be somewhere around 14,000 let's see anyways so this is what we get sim ejector tool over here and case and some paper work s there so let's take out the case and it's that transparent case reminds me of the red mean note 9 series let's take out the sim ejector tool also we pull and see the sim slot should be triple the slot but let's see anyways let's take this out and we have the dual color tone finish but I have to say if this was the single single color this layout resembles the redmi note 9 series as I've called you agree nice we'll just keep this one to the side let me put it in the case so that you have an idea how does it look so this is how it looks it has a bit for the case so let's keep this to the side and let's see what else we get just a USB type-c cable as you can see but guys use this one because of that extreme fast charging don't use any other cables I'll just keep that also to the side and this is the new thing that is that 33 watt fast charger it's so as we pipe eight port so that's it in the box so let me just keep this for the side let's just remove this case and let's have a look at the device itself looks like IR blaster is still provided so that's actually nice this looks like secondary noise cancellation microphone this actually feels like metallic but not plastic so nice and here we have the volume rocker the power button plus a fingerprint scanner like the redmi note and even the poco x2 we saw the same thing and bottom we have the vent for the speaker USB type-c port 3.5 mm headphone jack and this is absent free should be triple slot but let's see we never know hope it has a triple shot yes a proper triple slot so that's actually nice and back we have the camera set up named as a forty eight megapixel then we have an 8 megapixel ultra wide 5 megapixel is for macro and 2 megapixel front-facing is single 16 megapixel let's try to boot this and by the time it actually boots up and I set it up here is a configuration overview the spoke om 2 pro is having a 6 point 6 7 inch full HD plus IPS LCD screen it's part by the Snapdragon 7th very G processor it comes in 4 or 6 gigabytes of RAM and storage will be 64 or 128 X u FS 2.1 storage moving to the camera we have a quad camera setup main camera has a forty eight megapixel 8 megapixels i'll try white 5 in the pixel this macro 2 megapixel is depth moving to the front facing camera it's a 16 megapixel and come to the 5 thousand milliamp power battery with 33 what fast charging so guys have set up this device and have also taken some camera samples that i'll show you later on but first let's look at this one and while I was just saying the device I noticed these I took a screenshot so you do get this option like in typical red me smartphones a user experience program personalized ads and all this things so again make sure you disable that otherwise you might see at its heart to see that we are seeing these options even on the poco because I checked with Manmohan and he clearly said that this smartphone will not have ads but why do you have those options if that is the case anyways so here is the smartphone and another thing that I notice is that there is some amount of bloatware installed on it I installed this Eid 64 but apart from and the AirDroid apart from that everything is sort of stock and as you can see we have Amazon block something bubble bubble crazy jail so there is a little bit of bloat where that is sort of installed so again it's not completely what do you say without any bloatware and over here we have the quick toggles over here and if we go about here and typical about the phone as you can see it says poco m2 and storage is 64 I have taken some photographs guys so use them so roughly you should get about 44 gigabytes of available available space on the 64 gigabyte variant so nice thing is it's ufs 2.1 so the storage was actually fast but yeah that's what we get and so typical Xiaomi and it does have the what do you say me remote app for that ir blaster stuff so you can control I'm just going to say okay and agree you have a lot of terms all the time Allah Allah so yeah you can use that so here we have and now let's also look at the fingerprint scanner on this one and as you can see you don't have to actually press it it's a power button but if you just keep your finger also over there its unlocking and I would say very fast so no issues regarding the fingerprint scanner one thing to note is that use it with the case I don't know if the camera is able to pick it up but this is sort of a fingerprint magnet I would say if you use it without the case so just be a of that and also the camera actually juts out of this one it's active if you keep it like this it's actually resting on the camera so if you notice so I don't know like yeah looks cool but again how practical it is because resting on that camera so again be careful about that and again I like the fact that on the left if you go you have the Google now pain over aigoo so that's actually nice I like that regarding the battery it has that mass of five thousand milliamp hour battery so I feel the battery life will be really really good because the Snapdragon 7.20 G processor is a very power efficient processor and coupled with that five thousand milliamp hour battery the battery life should be actually very good in fact I would say much better than the PACU x2 that had a four thousand five hundred million power battery and experience you see that they haven't given a 33 watt charger in the box now let's also look at the camera on this one the rear-facing camera as I told you is 48 megapixel not the 64 megapixel Sony sensor that was used on the PACU x2 so let's see how it does and front-facing is now 16 megapixel on this one and if I invoke for hint as you can see no change in this software it's almost the same this regular this is that wide-angle lens and this is chuh digital zoom that is 2x that you can go and apart from that other modes are there your portrait dedicated 48 megapixel even night mode is there and for macro actually you have to go here and here invoke the macro and then the macro mode that 5 megapixel macro mode as you can see can be activated on this one so you have to go here for that and front-facing camera as that 16 megapixel one thing I noticed is that the screen for some reason is saturating the colors quite a bit if the skin tones definitely are more saturated at least on the screen we look at the photographs and see if that's the case there also and here we have that portrait mode and all those things so let me do one thing let me take actually some photographs with this one so that you have a regarding the camera these were taken with the rear facing camera and one thing I notice is that it saturates the color especially if there are greens as you can see of these pictures these came out decent slightly oversaturated but not as bad as earlier pictures and this was in the 2x zoom and this was that ultra wide and these were taken in the regular mode and as you can see you get that natural bouquet effect with the same which actually looks very good and this is regular shot this is macro macro actually screws off with the color regular again and this is again that macro so again the macro even is trying to over saturate the colors as you can see these were taken in indoor lighting and here I felt it actually did a decent job sometimes the white balance was slightly off but again I won't complete considering the budget oriented price of the smartphone and now moving to human subjects again as you can see this was actually done very well and these are some of that shots taken in that ultra white mode and these are some regular shots and now moving to Boca I felt here the results were simply not that would notice around my hair that background blur is simply not that close now moving to front-facing camera as you can see how do shots actually came out really good with this smartphone as you can see even that blood ran blood but here are some of the indoor samples taken and this was that ultra wide mode and it does a decent job regular shots came out good but in the portrait mode notice the area around my hair it's simply at the edge detection is not that great now I'm moving to the front facing camera and indoor lighting here you've got to be slightly careful otherwise you can get some blurry shots so guys that's it for now for the unboxing of this beaucoup m2 pro so what do you guys think about this one Frankie looking at some of the camera samples I felt that the camera was sort of over saturating stuff at times particularly when there are lot of plants green plants it was over saturating like old it reminded me of the old samsung smartphones and also in the book a mode if you have noticed some of the samples near my hair it was not done as well so definitely I would say as of now if camera is the highest priority I frankly feel still the poco x2 has a better camera than this one but again this is much cheaper than that so what do you guys think about this device do let me know in the comment section below and guys if you are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button this is Ron G that I hope to see you in my next video take care guyshi guys this is Ranjith and in this
