Pocophone : The end has come for the Xiaomi Brand – It will not exist Poco F2;

What about Pocophone and the Xiaomi brand that plays its role flagship killer; It has been almost a year since its release Pocophone F1 and so far we have heard almost nothing about them Poco F2.

ΌWhen Redmi unveiled its new smartphone, Redmi K20, then started the rumors that wanted the smartphone to be released under another name depending on the region.

Coupled with the fact that the company launched it as flagship killer 2.0, many believed that one of the possible names of the device will be the Pocophone F2. In fact, they were commenting that this version will be released in India. Eventually, the smartphone was launched in several markets as Xiaomi Mi 9T and in India by its "normal" name Redmi K20.

But what about the Pocophone and the Xiaomi brand that plays the role of flagship killer? It's been almost a year since its release Pocophone F1 and so far we have heard almost nothing about them Poco F2. Also, one of the top executives of the company, responsible for the development of Poco, Jai Mani, left Xiaomi.

The research director of IDC India, Navkendar Singh, stated that the Poco it offered great specs at a low cost, but compromises in design and build quality. Redmi's K series offers flagship features, hardware, good design and build quality at very affordable prices.

Based on these, the analyst emphasizes, the competition created by Redmi K is extremely large. That's why the future of Pocophone is particularly uncertain.

It is worth noting that the Redmi K20 in India costs 22.000 Indian Rupees or 285 €. However, more than 3.000 Indians have signed to reduce its price to € 260. This means that maybe there is a market for a more economical smartphone with high-end features and let there be a package with compromises in design.

Finally, both Xiaomi employees and the vice president of the company, refused to comment on their future Pocophone. Although a Xiaomi representative said that nothing changes for the brand because Jai Mani is gone.

Anyway, in August it will be one year since its release Pocophone F1, so if the company plans to release a new device the leaks and teasers will start.
