In recent times, many smartphone brands have diversified outside of producing just handsets and have launched a number of AIoT products. One of these brands include POCO, who had also hinted of its plans to expand into other segments as well. Now, a new report has suggested that one of these segments include the PC market.
According to a 91Mobiles report, the Chinese smartphone maker might be planning on launching a new laptop in the India, which would also be its first ever laptop in the market as well. As per known tipster Mukul Sharma, a Redmi G series laptop battery has just been certified by the Indian Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In other words, the company might be gearing up for an imminent launch of its notebooks.
Looking at the image shared by the tipster, a Redmi G series laptop battery was spotted with the model number G16B01W on the BIS database. Although, it is under the POCO branding. It is a 3,620mAh cell (15.2V, 55.02Wh) and is apparently a replacement battery that was originally meant for the Redmi G and Redmi G Gaming laptops. So, the company could even be planning to launch a gaming laptop in the region as well.
If it really is a gaming laptop, we can expected either an Intel or AMD Ryzen series processors paired with either an NVIDIA or Radeon graphics card. Keep in mind that this is just speculation as of right now, so take it with a pinch of salt for now. Its still to early to tell right now and we will have to wait for either additional leaks or official announcements to find out more details about this.
