PHILIPPINES – Xiaomi Philippines recently posted several teasers on its official Facebook page hinting at the arrival of a new “POCO” device, possibly the Poco F2 or the Poco F2 Pro.
Made available through online channels back in May 12, the Poco F2 pro is yet to be officially launched in the Philippines and other markets such as India, Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand.
While the company came out with the Poco X2 back in February, many consider it to be an incremental release, bearing almost identical build and specs to the Xiaomi Redmi K30.
Tech-savvy communities have been clamoring for a successor to the highly successful “budget flagship killer” Pocophone F1.
Both the Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro tout flagship-level specs, including a true full screen “notchless” display made possible through a 20MP pop-up front camera, under-display fingerprint scanner, and a 64MP quad camera module at the back.
Poco F2 Pro and Poco F2 are priced online at 539.99 USD (26,899 PHP) and 315 USD (15,691 PHP), respectively. Xiaomi is yet to reveal the Philippine release date and price of these devices.
Xiaomi released the Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9 Pro, and Mi Note 10 Lite in the Philippines two weeks ago. These products are among those included in Lazada’s 6.6 Bounce Back Sale happening today.
