In recent times, there have been a lot of leaks and speculations regarding Pocoโs upcoming smartphone. By convention, we will expect the Poco F1 successor to be Poco F2. However, a recent tweet by Poco India shows that Pocophoneโs next smartphone will certainly not be Poco F2. The question now is โwhat will it be?โ.
Looking at previous speculations, there are indications that the company will release Poco X2. In fact, a recent tweet gives a strong clue that the next Pocophone will be Poco X2. However, in its latest tweet, a spinning wheel seem to give other options. After the wheel stops rolling, we have โPoco ??โ. However, the โ??โ represents a letter and a number. From the wheel, the letters are โP, F, O, and Cโ while the numbers are โ1, 2 and 3โ. Looking at these, the possible combinations are P1, P2, P3, F1, F2, F3, O1, O2, O3, C1, C2, and C3. This wheel leaves us with 12 optional names but this has been reduced to 10 since F1 and F2 are out.The available options now are Poco P1, P2, P3, F3, O1, O2, O3, C1, C2, or C3. Since this is the first โ1โ smartphone after its independence, we will want to fancy Poco P1, O1 or C1. However, O1 seems pretty odd so P1 or C1 is our best bet considering the clue on the wheel. Interestingly, we canโt find the popular Poco X2 on the wheel. This creates some sort of confusion regarding the actual name of Pocoโs next smartphone.Pocophones is going independent but still โdependentโ on Xiaomi
According to the manager of Poco India, Manmohan Chandolu, the Poco brand will still use Xiaomiโs robust supply chain as well as MIUI for Poco. Nevertheless, it will concentrate on value-for-money smartphones with flagship chips and huge RAM. Although Poco will be independent, it will still do a lot of things with Xiaomi. Its user data will remain on Xiaomiโs data centers and after-sales services remain via Xiaomiโs channels. For now, Poco will restrict itself to online marketing. However, it has plans for the offline market. The independence of the Poco brand does not mean expansion. This brand will still concentrate on the Indian market. Its manager believes that international expansion will take more time.
