What started as a sub-brand within Xiaomi, has grown into its own identity. POCO F1 was an incredibly popular phone. We feel the time is right to let POCO operate on its own.
Join me in wishing @IndiaPOCO all the best.
Hence, Poco and Xiaomi are now two different brands.
Recently, trademark application of Poco F2 was also released which confirmed the brand is working on a device that is expected to come in Q4 of 2020.
