Before the latest Poco F2 rumours, there were reports that Xiaomi was doing away with the Poco brand altogether.
The Poco F1 was quite successful in India, and its successor is hotly anticipated
Xiaomi's Poco F2 looks set to become a reality soon as the handset maker has reportedly applied for a trademark for the same. According to the documents shared by a tipster, Xiaomi has filed a trademark for a phone named Poco F2 -- a clear indication that the successor to the popular Poco F1 smartphone is in the works.
And a trademark was presented right before the launch of the original Poco, so the Poco F2 announcement is probably nearing, GSMArena reported on Saturday, citing a tipster.
Earlier, there were reports that Xiaomi was doing away with the Poco sub-brand altogether.
In July 2019, two top executives from Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi -- Donovan Sung, former global spokesperson and Jai Mani, head of product of the Poco division -- quit the company.
Sung made the announcement via a Twitter post: "It is my last month at Xiaomi. 5 years, 80 plus countries, 260 million plus Mi fans worldwide. My first time living outside the US in a foreign country. India's number one smartphone brand. Absolutely incredible team. Loved every minute. Thank you Leijun, Xiaomi and Mi fans for the amazing memories," he had said.
