Poco F2 Teased Officially | India Launch?

Poco F1 has always proved itself as a flagship killer and with that our expectations surged too. However, after that this never happened again as we are still waiting for the launch of Poco F2.

 

The company mainly focussed on rebranding the budget and flagship phones in 2020. Though Poco F2 Pro got launched in global markets, and needless to say that did give us hope for its younger siblings to get launched. But it seems our wait is going to be over soon as Poco has quietly teased the Poco F2 in a recent 2020 highlights video.

 

The official Poco India account tweeted out a video last evening. It talks about the achievements Poco has made as an “independent brand” in the country in 2020. The company has launched five phones across price segments, sold more than 10 lakh phones, placed fourth in the list of online smartphone brands, and a lot more.

 

Towards the end of the video, you can see the words ‘Thank you for..’ flash along with ‘The F2’ and it appears to be a teaser for this much-awaited smartphone. The company has already confirmed that it is working on a true successor for the Poco F1. So that can be a hint for the launch of the Poco F2. You can check out the complete video right here:

The stage is set! The fun has begun! Let us get ready to take it to the next level!

Excited? You should be, coz the next year is going to be even crazier.

While we enjoy, let us look back at everything we’ve achieved together! Thank you ❤️ pic.twitter.com/K0432jSj8B

Poco didn’t offer a timeline back then, nor it did in yesterday’s video. But, it appears as the Poco F2 could finally launch in India very soon. The important question, however, is – Will Poco be able to build a true flagship successor to the Poco F1? Will it make a flagship chipset available at a similar price point with similar efficiency? Will it be able to match the higher expectations caused by Poco F1?

As per leaks, the chances of Poco F2 being a true flagship smartphone looks very thin. The reports online suggest that the device will be a mid-range smartphone, backed by the Snapdragon 732G chipset – the same as the Poco X3 and will also include an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a quad-camera setup, and a modest 4,250mAh battery.

If the aforementioned specs turn out to be true, then the Poco F2 will not be seen as a true successor to the Poco F1. It won’t actually redefine the current market segmentation. Instead, it only adheres to it by offering a mid-range chipset which is not what we are yearning for. But the tables could turn if the company chooses to power the Poco F2 with a flagship MediaTek Dimensity-series chipset. The chipmaker, along with popular OEMs, is currently making an endeavor to bring affordable 5G phones to India.

Will the speculated specifications satisfy your long wait for Poco F2? What do you think should make a more positive effect on the market? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
