Update (August 27): The specifications seem to match the recently-leaked Poco X3.

Affordable flagships seem to be the flavour of the season for smartphones this year. With devices such as the OnePlus Nord and the Realme X3 series being popular across markets, it looks like Poco wants to have a piece of this pie. A new Poco device is expected to launch soon. 

A new Poco device with model number “M2007J20CG” was recently spotted on FCC and BIS certification site. This information comes from a twitter tipster, Gadgetsdata. The listings revealed some of the specs and features of the upcoming Poco device.

For starters, the upcoming Poco device will come with MIUI 12 out of the box. The battery model number is “BN57”. The same battery model is also listed on BIS for India certification. Further, he also said that the device will come with a 64MP camera setup. The battery on the device comes with 5060mAh capacity with 33W charging speeds as per another certification site.  Since the device is 5G-capable, it could either be powered by the Snapdragon 765G or the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 Plus. Though, we wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an actual flagship chipset just yet. 

Recently, Poco’s Global Product Marketing Manager and spokesperson tweeted that the new Poco device could come with a high-refresh-rate. We could see a 90Hz or a 120Hz panel.  For context, the OnePlus Nord comes with a 90Hz refresh rate display.
