BQ Aquaris X2 and X2 Pro Specifications:

The Aquaris X2 and Aquaris X2 Pro devices are equipped with a FHD+ 1080p display 2.5D Corning® Gorilla Glass, making the display very durable. The 18:9 Aspect ratio with slim bezels makes the display look great and up to date with the bezel-less trend of 2018.

BQ claims that the 12 MP + 5 MP, f1.8 dual rear camera set up “makes the most” of portrait mode even in low light conditions. So we can expect to see some really good bokeh effect in photos even in absence of sufficient lighting. Powering these devices is a 3100 mAh battery with quick charge 4+ support which should last for an entire day for most users as it runs on Android One.

Coming to the differences between the two, the Aquaris X2 is powered by a snapdragon 636 processor. It is the ideal processor for a 2018 budget device but users who need more power can go for the X2 Pro, powered by a snapdragon 660 which offers a significant improvement over the 636. Another key difference is that the X2 has a durable polycarbonate back while the X2 pro has a 3D glass back, giving it a more premium look.

The Aquaris X2 comes in 32GB + 3GB RAM and 64GB + 4GB RAM configurations and the X2 pro has 64GB + 4GB RAM and 128GB + 6GB RAM variants. They also offer a variety of colours like Carbon Black, Sand Gold for the X2 and Midnight Black, Glaze white, Deep Silver for the X2 Pro.

What is Unlock Bootloader?
