If there is one phone which has been shrouded in extreme mystery this year, it is the Poco F2. Last year, Xiaomi brought to market a new sub-brand, Poco, which was to cater to performance focus smartphones with top specs. However, this year Xiaomi also introduced the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro, two phones which come with premium specs and affordable price tag. This led to a lot of people to believe that the Poco F2 was not going to come to India. However, Xiaomi India, Marketing Head, Anuj Sharma denied the claim that the Poco series was done with. Now, this has again fuelled chatters across the internet which claim that the Poco F2 is real.

Rumours Surrounding Poco F2
The first wave of rumours about the Poco F1 had started hitting the headlines when Qualcomm announced its top-end processor back in December 2018. That time, it was speculated that the Poco F2 would do something like the Poco F1 and it would come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855. But then, this year in July, Xiaomi announced that it would bring the Redmi K20 Pro with the same chipset which was speculated to arrive in Poco F2. This news ended the rumours about Poco F2 packing the top-end Snapdragon 855.
Not only this, when the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro were launched in China, there were rumours that these two phones would be rebranded as the Poco F2 for the India launch. But, even that did not happen to the disappointment of Poco fans. After the launch of the Redmi flagship phone in India, several research analysts also claimed that Xiaomi would stop the Poco line-up, but the statement from Xiaomi India Marketing Head led towards a different conclusion.
