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.
The future of Pocophone?
However, in a seemingly desolate time, we might have just received our first official confirmation about Pocophone’s future. Alvin Tse, Head, Pocophone Global, recently engaged in a Twitter conversation. The reply, which was promptly deleted, read, “You will hear more from POCO in 2020 ♥️”.
It was the first time we saw any Xiaomi/Poco official mention Pocophone. While there’s no explicit mention of the Poco F2, it does confirm that the brand is here to stay. 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.
