If you had just begun to think locally about the names and models that Xiaomi and brand partners have produced to date, well you will have to mix everything up. In fact, rumors suggest that the next flagship POCO it would not have had anything to do with a probable rebrand derived from the top-of-the-range Redmi models. Yet the leaks that have come so far suggest just the opposite and confirming what is hypothesized comes an undisputed authority in the sector, namely Google.
Therefore, the denials by the General Manager of the Indian brand about the connections with Redmi K30 Pro were not enough, as Google through its certifications puts an end to this mystery. In fact, we can undoubtedly say that a POCO F2 Pro, equipped with SoC Snapdragon 865 but without the 5G modem (in fact, the American company sells this plus separately).
Google certification reveals that Redmi K30 Pro will arrive as POCO F2 Pro
The code name lmi it is certainly not new; the certification of the US company then shows various versions of the K30 Pro with the name lmiin, a sign that the device will arrive in India with the Redmi brand and specifically with the name of Redmi K30 Pro 5G Zoom Edition. So, making two plus two, the new one POCO F2 Pro should be dedicated to other international markets, including the European one and therefore also the Italian one.
Therefore, according to the latest news, POCO will launch two different smartphones, such as F2 and F2 Pro. However, we should not expect who knows what revolution, as both variants will inherit design and specifications from their Chinese cousins, but for now it is only hypotheses. The same goes for what has been said about its identity: Google certification means a lot but the last word is always up to the company in question.
