Poco to Launch its Next Smartphone in February, But It Will Not Be Poco F2

Independent brand Poco will launch its second smartphone in India next month. Putting an end to the rumours, Poco India General Manager, C Manmohan confirmed to PTI that it’s working hard to launch next smartphone in February. However, the same person in a separate interview confirmed that the upcoming smartphone would not be Poco F2. We can expect the brand to launch the rumoured Poco X2 which is expected to be a rebranded version of Redmi K30. After staying silent for more than 16 months, Poco is making back to back announcements regarding its comeback. At the same time, the company is also working on becoming a separate entity in India. Poco was launched as a sub-brand of Xiaomi back in August 2018, but it’s now a standalone brand competing with its former parent company in 2020.

Poco F2 Will Not Be Launched Anytime Soon, Company Confirms

So far, Poco has launched just one smartphone and it’s the famous Poco F1. For more than six months now, fans have been asking about the Poco F2 smartphone, but the company stayed silent. Last week, Xiaomi announced that Poco is now an independent brand in India, but it will make use of Xiaomi’ after-sales service and manufacturing unit to save costs.

At a time when everyone is expecting that the brand may come back with the Poco F2, Poco has some other plans. In an interview with tech channel Techno Ruhez, Manmohan confirmed that the Poco F2 would not be its next smartphone. As we reported yesterday, Poco could be launching a new series altogether keeping the mid-range buyers in mind. The Poco F2 is already confirmed to be in the works, so it might come with flagship hardware sometime in Q2 2020 or in Q3 2020.
