THE POCO F2 launch date is not finalized yet, but we do know that it is going to be launched soon. After the launch of POCO X2 on 4 February 2020 at a live event on YouTube, we already knew that POCO had become an independent company. However, it is somehow associated with Xiaomi, which we will discuss later.
Well, I have been using Poco F1 since its launch. The best thing about this device is the hardware being offered at such a price. I purchased it for 300$ only while big companies like OnePlus and others charge more than 500$ for the exact specifications.
Although the company has become independent, they have also changed the logo’s colour. However, they will still launch the new Poco F2 with MIUI 11, as we have seen on POCO X2, which is a big drawback as many users wanted a close-to-Stock UI Android operating system. Nevertheless, we have a solution for that consistently with the help of custom ROMs that lets you install a stock UI operating system for your Poco.
We are sharing the specifications of the Redmi K30 Pro as POCO F2 specifications. Based on the rumours of POCO X2, which was believed to be the rebranded model of Redmi K30 and the stories came true. We think that POCO F2 will be the rebranded model of Xiaomi’s Redmi K30 Pro.
POCO F2 Specifications
Design
POCO F2 has an aluminium frame with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and at the rear. It weighs 208 grams, and the dimensions are 165.3 x 76.6 x 8.8 mm. It has hybrid dual SIM support, where you can insert two Nano SIM. There is a punch-hole camera on the top right corner of the screen, which enables you to click selfies and experience the rich user interface of the device with more space.
Display
The display comprises of 6.67-inches of AMOLED touchscreen with 16 million colours. The resolution of the display is 1080 x 2400 pixels with a 20:9 screen ratio at 395 PPI density. As we already mentioned above that the screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, it also has a 120Hz screen refresh rate. We expect an AMOLED display, but we are not sure until the POCO F2 Launch date is confirmed.
Camera
The camera is expected to be the same as POCO X2 and Redmi K30 Pro. At the back, you get a 64MP primary camera, 13MP ultra-wide camera, 8MP dedicated macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. At the front, it is expected to be a 24MP primary plus a 2MP depth sensor for selfies. Both front and back cameras can record 1080p videos at 30fps, while the back camera supports up to 4K at 30fps.
Memory & Storage
POCO F2 is expected to come in four variants where you will get 64GB Storage+ 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage+ 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage+ 8GB RAM, and 256GB Storage+ 8GB RAM. All of them will have microSDXC support, which uses the SIM slot, which means you will have to compromise one SIM to use the MicroSD card.
Performance & Battery
The Geekbench listing of the Redmi K30 Pro suggests that Snapdragon 865 processor is powering the smartphone with a clock rate of 1.8 GHz. We have already seen the past leaks on Geekbench, which have proven true.
The phone is expected to be integrated with the X55 modem, enabling the latest 5G support. POCO F2 will run on MIUI 11, the newest Android 10 operating system, with many new features. It is also expected that a massive 4700mAh battery with 33W fast charging support will be there.
POCO F2 Launch Date
With the recent launch of POCO X2, we do expect that the company will take a while to set up for another launch of its flagship model. While Redmi K30 Pro is scheduled to launch on 28 February 2020, we can expect POCO F2 to start in March 2020.
