POCO hasn’t launched too many smartphones since the brand broke lose from the loins of Xiaomi. The company is expected to take the wraps off a new smartphone pretty soon, though. A recent rumour tips the next Poco smartphone to launch with the next couple of days in India. That has been given credence by Oppo India’s GM Manmohan Chandolu. The exec disclosed in a recent interview that the new phone will hit India next month.
Chandolu also clarified that the smartphone won’t be the POCO F2 Pro but rather, it will be a product released exclusively for consumers in the South East Asian country.
Taking previous rumours into account, we can predict that the smartphone will likely be the Poco M2 Pro. The phone goes by the codename “gram” and from kernel source code spotted, the model is said to have similar features with the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The M2Pro is also expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 720G chipset.
During the interview, Poco India GM also discussed about the company’s upcoming product lineup which includes the Pop Buds TWS earphones. Manmohan disclosed that the product is developed alongside Xiaomi’s R&D team which means they will likely share similarities with one of the current Xiaomi TWS earphones. Also, he didn’t squash expectations of the F2 Pro launching at some point in India later this year.
