Poco F2 Teased Officially; Coming to India Soon?
Jan. 1, 2021Towards 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 atrue successor for the Poco F1. You can check out the complete video right here:
Poco didn’t offer a timeline back then, nor does it do that in yesterday’s video. But, it looks like 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?
As per leaks, the chances of Poco F2 being a true flagship smartphone look bleak. Thereports online suggestthat the device will be a mid-range smartphone, backed by theSnapdragon 732Gchipset – the same as thePoco X3. It will also include anAMOLED 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 doesn’t redefine the current market segmentation. But instead, it only adheres to it by offering a mid-range chipset. 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 currentlymaking a push to bring affordable 5G phonesto India.
Is this exactly the opportunity that Poco F2 has been waiting for? Would aRedmi 10X 5Grebrand, complete with Dimensity 800U or 1000+, satisfy the loyal fanbase? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
