However, speculation and leaks have already started to flood the arena with rumors. According to a post on the Xiaomi & MIUI News Telegram channel (via Engadget), the Poco F2 is known internally as “courbet” and is codenamed K9A. Especially, it gets its power from the mid-range Snapdragon 732G processor, which is quite a far cry from the flagship Qualcomm SoC installed inside the Poco F1.

Next Poco deal will rock four cameras – a large main snapper, an ultra wide angle lens, a macro shooter and a depth sensor. However, there is no information yet on the number of megapixels and the capabilities of the camera. A 4250mAh battery would provide the juice, while reverse charging support will also be available. But keep in mind that these are early speculations about Poco F2 that don’t come from a particularly credible source, so treat them with a heavy dose of skepticism.
