INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
When it comes to smartphones or tech in general, there are few urban legends as well-known as the Poco F2
Following an entire year of silence and ambiguity, we might have just received our first official confirmation from a Pocophone
official.Pocophone is a Xiaomi sub-brand that was started in 2018 with a focus on well-priced gaming smartphones
The Poco F1 was its first (and only) smartphone, which brought flagship specifications to the sub Rs 30,000 segment, which no other brand
was able to match during its launch
Expectedly, it was a runaway success in markets such as India, where specifications and price are the biggest variables to a purchase
decision.For reference, the Poco F1 was powered by the flagship Snapdragon 845 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, making it
a competitive gaming smartphone
left consumers wanting for more, especially those who wished to high-end performance without entering the premium segment
Unfortunately, nothing was announced or even mentioned
In fact, there have been 0 official mentions of the Poco F2 in all of 2019, leading many to believe that the sub-brand was dead
These rumors gained more fuel when Jai Mani, the company spokesperson, parted ways with Pocophone.However, in a seemingly desolate time, we
Alvin Tse, Head, Pocophone Global, recently engaged in a Twitter conversation
official mention Pocophone
It also needs to be noted that Pocophone has had only one product in its entire life so that this tweet could imply the existence of the F2
or an entry into a new segment.
