Xiaomi Poco F1 was one of the most appealing smartphones of 2018 because it offered flagship specs at a mid-range smartphone price point. It seems that riding the success of the smartphone, Xiaomi’s sub-brand is planning to launch the second edition of the smartphone. A smartphone labelled as “Xiaomi POCO F2” has been spotted on Geekbench. As suggested by the name, this smartphone could be the successor to the Poco F1.
The Geekbench listing has revealed some key information about Poco F2’s CPU, RAM and OS. The listing shows the Poco F2 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset coupled with 6GB RAM. The Poco F1 also features the same configuration under the hood but the Poco F2 is seen running Android 9 Pie OS.
