Poco F2 Pro

Chinese smartphone maker Poco has launched a new flagship ‘Poco F2 Pro’ with quad-camera setup and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 ship via an online event for the global market.

Like its predecessor, it features flagship specs and a slick design. With a 6.67-inch AMOLED notch-less display, a Snapdragon 865 processor and liquid cooling, the phone is positioned to compete against the likes of flagship models like the Oneplus 8 series.

The F2 Pro might look familiar. That’s because it’s actually the international version of Xiaomi’s Redmi K30 Pro. Both models are equipped with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage.

Poco says that this combo decreases load times and enables quicker multitasking. The Snapdragon 865 — which is the same chip used in Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series — helps to process more advanced photos and footage.

The F2 Pro is capable of detailed macro shots, low light photos and 8K video. The notchless design precludes a frontfacing camera, but the F2 Pro has a pop-up camera, which can shoot slow-mo selfies at 120 frames per second.

These specs are exciting, the phone itself looks like a premium device, and the €499 (about $540) price makes the Poco F2 sound like a lot of bang for the buck.

The phone will be available be on Amazon soon. If the specs and the warm reception of the Pocophone F1 are anything to go on, the Poco F2 Pro could

be a hit. ■
