We’ve been hearing about Poco F2 aka Pocophone 2 for several months. The long-awaited Xiaomi Poco F1 successor has been rumoured and leaked multiple times, but there hasn’t been any official word. Now, Spigen, a popular case developer, listed (now pulled) two models of Poco F2 on its website. The listing doesn’t reveal any specifications but does give a good look at the design.
Poco F2 will come with Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro-like design. This means you can expect an AMOLED display and pop-up selfie camera.
According to the listing, Xiaomi Poco F2 will draw design inspiration from Xiaomi K20 series. This essentially means Xiaomi Poco F2 will come with graphic glass back panel and pop-up selfie camera module. The listing also hints at a vertical camera setup on the rear. The smartphone is also seen sporting a higher screen-to-body ratio.
