Is it the next Poco X2:
As you have heard, the rumors Poco X2 launching this February 4, which was made official by the Poco India general manager C Manmohan. With all the analyzation and looking at the specs that are similar to Redmi K30, it is no doubt that Poco X2 is the rebranded version of Poco X2 with some tweaks.
Someone from Romania has brought Redmi K30 and when he put Google account and all of the stuff that is necessary for the phone and restarted. The setup began, and instead of the K30 structure, it showed the Poco X2, and it was the definitive proof that the Poco X2 is the rebranded version of Redmi K30.
Verdict:
Xiaomi Redmi K30 is an impressive mid-range smartphone that comes with a lot of flagship features and at a reasonably good price. The only thing that is making me purchasing a phone is that it does not have storage expansion. The Redmi K30 also has both 4G and 5G versions, too, which would be useful only for the 5G enabled countries.
