We are in the second half of 2020 but POCO is yet to launch the successor (POCO F2) to the original POCO F1 from 2018. Instead, we got POCO X2 (Redmi K30 4G), POCO F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro), and POCO M2 Pro. The brand is also expected to unveil an entry-level smartphone called POCO C3 (Redmi 9C). Recently, Angus, the Global Spokesperson of the brand even teased the arrival of a high-refresh-rate device. This handset may have been now spotted on FCC, BIS, and TÜV Rheinland Japan
The FCC listing of a mysterious POCO smartphone with model number M2007J20CG and M2007J20CT is being sheared by multiple tipsters and tech influencers on Twitter. We are not sure of the first person who spotted it. With the help of screenshots shared by @the_tech_guy, even we were able to retrieve it from FCC.
Last week, this very same handset received TKDN and EEC certifications but those did not reveal anything except for the fact that it is a POCO-branded 4G smartphone. Whereas, today’s certification findings not only reveal the battery and charging speed but also the rear design.
According to an FCC document, this upcoming 4G POCO smartphone will run MIUI 12 and will come with BN57 battery and MDY-12-EA 33W Xiaomi charger. As per Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), the device has also received BIS and TÜV Rheinland Japan certifications. The latter even revealed the capacity of the battery to be 5,160mAh.
Another FCC document also exposes the rear design of this forthcoming phone. The sketch reveals the device to sport a 64MP camera setup arranged on a rounded rectangle platform located at the centre. Additionally, a textured line will run along the middle of the back panel with a huge POCO branding at the bottom.
As for other specs, according to a deleted tweet by Aguns (via Abhishek Yadav), this phone will sport an AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. That said, the chipset powering it is still a mystery and only that can give us an idea if it will be a mid-range device or a flagship killer.
Though most netizens are claiming it to be POCO X3, there’s a high chance for it to be the long-awaited POCO F2. Why are we saying this? That’s because the design of this handset is original (not a rebranded Redmi device). Since the original POCO F1 is one of the most beloved smartphones in recent years, its successor deserves originality and this mysterious phone delivers it.
Anyway, this is just a speculation from our end. It may even end up us something else as the POCO M2 Pro also has a unique design touch though it is part of Redmi Note 9 family. Maybe, the Redmi variant of this phone will launch later in China. So It could be a rebranded handset too.
