As you can look in the screenshot below, on the right side, there are two Easter eggs that spell "X" and "2", meaning, just like Realme X2 (First impressions), it is a possibility that Poco is also planning to name its phone on the similar lines.
To recall, Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain, has also announced that Poco is an independent brand now and not a sub-brand of Xiaomi any more.This gives us even more reasons to believe that now that it is a standalone company, Poco will be launching a new phone or a series of phones soon.A YouTube channel, RevAtlas, has also shared images of what they call Pocophone F1 Lite. It reveals that this Pocophone F2 Lite is likely to be powered with Snapdragon 765 chipset and it might be equipped with 5,000 mAh battery. It also suggests that the company might unveil not one but three smartphones in India under the names “Pocophone F2” and “F2 Lite", and the third name was not known yet. There is a possibility that the third one might be called Pocophone X2. But these are mere speculations and nothing has been conformed by the company.
