Poco X2, launched in early February, will go on sale again today at 12pm (noon) on Flipkart, after its last sale on March 3, which was reserved for the Pheonix Red colour variant. The March 3 sale was claimed to be the company's biggest sale for the smartphone yet, where Poco said it sold a relatively larger stock than its previous sales. The Poco X2 had gone on sale for the first time on February 11, after the phone was launched on February 4.
While announcing the sale on its Twitter, Poco said "don't wait, the othe'R's aren't great," in what seems to be a subtle dig at Realme, which launched its Realme 6 series last week. Realme is one of the major rivals for Poco in the Indian market.
