After expanding the POCO X and M lineups with multiple new models, POCO is now gearing up to launch successors to last year’s POCO F3. Key details about the standard model — the POCO F4 — are already out but it looks that the series will actually comprise three models this year. An alleged POCO F4 Pro+ was certified by EEC earlier and it’s now joined by the POCO F4 Pro, which has just made an appearance on the IMEI database.
A new Xiaomi device under the POCO brand has been spotted on the IMEI database with model number 22011211G L11 (via Xiaomiui). Codenamed ‘matisse,’ the POCO F4 Pro moniker has actually been mentioned in the certificate, effectively confirming the name. The same device could be rebranded as the Xiaomi 12X Pro in India, as customary.
The appearance of the POCO F4 Pro and POCO F4 Pro+ signals a change in strategy for the lineup, which last year offered the POCO F3 alone. The POCO F3 was sold as the Xiaomi Mi 11X alongside the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro in India, but global users were deprived of a Pro model. This looks to be changing now, though.
It’s worth mentioning here that the POCO F4 Pro’s model number is shared with the Redmi K50 Pro+ launched recently in China, meaning it’s again nothing but a rebrand. Both will thus also have identical spec sheets. The Redmi K50 Pro+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip and has the 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor as its primary rear camera.
