    Pocophone F2 Could Just Be A Rebranded Redmi K30

    Xiaomi’s Poco brand is called Pocophone in other countries besides India. The company recently announced that they plan to get started on developing mobile games in 2020. Poco has only one phone to its credit so far. However, despite this, the Poco F1 became quite popular. The next in the series, the Pocophone F2 will be out for release sometime in 2020. 91mobiles recently found out a listing for a new Poco device on the Bureau for Indian Standards (BIS) website. Here, the model number listed suggests that the upcoming phone might not be an entirely new device. According to the BIS listing, the POCO smartphone is featured with a model number M1912G7BI. This points us to the Redmi K30 4G. If you take a look at the Chinese listings for Redmi K30 4G, you will see that it comes with model numbers M1912G7BC and M1912G7BE.

    Xiaomi has its own practice of coming up with a model number. In its devices, the company generally uses the last letter in the model number to denote the target market. So, the C and the E refers to the Chinese and European markets respectively. The new model number, M1912G7BI, ends with an I. This suggests that the device is likely to be sold in the Indian market.

    At the moment, there is not much detail on whether the Redmi K30 4G is the basis for Poco’s upcoming device, Poco F2. However, it is pretty sure that the model that is based on K30 4G will definitely come out under the Poco brand. This phone will have a Snapdragon 730G processor, up to 256GB of expandable storage, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, and a 4,500mAh battery. The phone is likely to be retailed as an upper mid-range model.

    The Redmi K30 4G features a 120Hz FHD+ 6.67-inches LCD screen in addition to a headphone port and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. On the camera front, the device has a dual punch-hole cut-out for a 20MP/2MP sensor pairing. The quad rear camera setup boasts of a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP macro camera, and 2MP depth sensor. The phone’s price will be almost similar to the Chinese market.

    The upcoming Poco smartphone, the Poco F2, is basically a rebranded Redmi K30. It will simply be Redmi K30 in terms of looks and most of the specs. The software will be a bit different. POCO will have its own take on MIUI on top of the phone, but the design and display are likely to stay the same.

    The Poco F2 will run on MIUI Global 11.0.2 on top of Android 10. With regards to the design, the device will have a pill-shaped display hole in the top-right corner. This is quite similar to the K30 model. All this is mere speculation doing the rounds on the internet since the company has not made any official announcements. Leaked information from different sources points us in this direction. The details about the F2 emerged on a Polish website with an image of the device.

    New Batch of Redmi K30 leaks

    Redmi K30 has constantly been in speculations and rumors these days. However, some of the ‘live pictures’ and info of the device have come out to be fake. When considering the new batch of leaks and speculations, we will soon get the full story to reveal, particularly within a few weeks. General Manager of Redmi Group and VP of Xiaomi Group, Lu Weibing has officially revealed a hint of a kind of K30 event to happen next week.

    New Batch of Redmi K30 leaks: Official Renders of Front, Back and Info on Specs and Prices

    It is still supposed to be a center of attraction as a successor to Xiaomi’s best-selling Mi 9T and Redmi K20.

    “A leakster Mukul Sharma claims official release to go down by December 10, which we have already known. So, it wouldn’t be wrong to expect some official teasers before that.”

    No matter what, K30 is near and is giving lots of credibility to some of the other leaked details that we will mention soon. There is an official poster circulating across the web before the launch.

    The render shows the Redmi K30 device with a dual punch-hole display in the top right corner. By keeping authenticity aside, the earlier “live photos” are pretty much in line.

    There is also a render of seriously lower resolution teasing the back panel of the phone and it seems to be like a vertical camera panel positioned in a sort of oval design. It is not easy to come out with detail due to the very low resolution.

    However, one more important part of detail that we can explain is that it might not have any fingerprint scanner on the back. If it is the case, it might have an in-display fingerprint scanner. And if it is happening, the panel might have an OLED display.

    It goes without saying that those last speculations are coming on our side. According to some of the leaks, the device will have a full HD 6.66-inch LCD display with an aspect ratio of 20:9.

    Some other rumors of specs include refresh rate of 120Hz on the panel along with Snapdragon 730G processor, coupled with 64GB storage and 6GB RAM on the base variant.

    The camera panel is supposed to have 64MP main snapper, 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, 8MP telephoto zoom lens, and 2MP depth sensor on the rear side. It will have a 20MP selfie snapper.

    Other details

    Without having a specific order, some of the other details include 27W fast charging with 4500mAh battery, IR blaster, NFC, and 3.5mm headphone jack. When it comes to pricing, Redmi K30 might fall around CNY 2000 ($285) according to some sources.

    Some others also reveal CNY 2300 ($330). Both could easily be found correct in case K30 has few new variants and it takes after its precursor. One of the leaked posters also mentioned 5G support.

    Overall Redmi K30 is going to be a killer upper mid-range smartphone with plenty of flagship-level features. It consists of a completely bezel-less display with high resolution.

    It has good battery capacity coupled with fast charging for smooth performance. But there is a lack of expandability and storage department might be a letdown.
