Xiaomi exec says POCO's coming back

Xiaomi Group Vice President Chang Cheng said on Weibo this morning that “POCO's...coming back”, hinting that POCO-branded phones will return. Previously, the POCO brand had operated independently.

In February this year, Chang Cheng disclosed that the Xiaomi sub-brand POCO Phone is expected to enter the domestic market.

POCO brand meaning is Passionate, Powerful, Cool Geeky, Young Fun.

The POCO F2 will be launched this year and the mysterious POCO phone with model number M2004J11G has been spotted on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) website.

The POCO F1 was once the most affordable Snapdragon 845 phone of 2019, as it starts at a mere Rs 20,999 (about Rs 1946).

But since the POCO F2 is expected to support 5G, the cost may be higher, and the POCO F2 will start at a higher price.
