Poco F2 rumours and leaks have started pouring in again. Ahead of the Redmi K20 Pro India launch rumours suggested that the Redmi phone will launch as Poco F2 in India but sadly that didn't happen. After the Redmi K20 Pro launched in the country reports have been Poco brand will be discontinued but Head of Marketing Xiaomi India Anuj Sharma denies the reports and says that Poco will continue to make phones. This clearly hints at the Poco F2 exists. Now, an image of the Poco F2 screen protector leaks online and reveals the front design of the phone.

The leak comes from reliable Slashleaks. The leak shows an image of the alleged Poco F2 screen protector. The screen cover reveals interesting details about the Poco F2. It reveals that the Poco F2 will come with waterdrop notch or what Xiaomi calls dot drop notch similar to the Redmi Note 7 series. The presence of dot drop notch means there will be minimal bezels on the Poco F2. Expect the better multi-media experience on the Poco F2 when compared to Poco F1 that has pretty thick bezels all around. Some other rumours suggest that Poco F2 will go with AMOLED display.

Overall, we expect the Poco F2 to be a much-improved version of the Poco F1 that is still very popular among the consumers and selling like hot cakes in India. With every passing month, Poco F1 India price is dropping. Currently, the smartphone is selling for starting price of Rs 17,999 in India.

Earlier this month some analyst suggested that Poco brand will be discontinued in the country as the Poco F2 no longer makes sense now that Redmi K20 Pro is here. But Xiaomi India has official denied these reports. In an interview Xiaomi India Head of Marketing Anuj Sharma shuts all reports and rumours claiming Poco brand will be discontinued. Sharma clearly mentions that the Poco brand will not be discontinued in India as predicted by some analysts.

Sharma says that the Poco brand will be there and continue to make smartphones. This clearly hints at the existence of the Poco F2. Sharma, however, didn't confirm the Poco F2 but did shut all reports talking about discontinuing the Poco brand.

In the same interview, Sharma also explains that Poco is an independent brand and is operated separately. Sharma says that the Poco brand doesn't directly come under Xiaomi. The two sub-brands under Xiaomi are Mi and Redmi. Sharma notes, "No it's not. India POCO has its own team, it's not managed by Xiaomi India. Xiaomi manages Mi & Redmi series."

Sharma also says, "POCO was made to remain independent. POCO uses Xiaomi's services like logistics, support etc. POCO has its own product strategy. Right now POCO is too small & their focus is still on POCO F1." This clearly means that Poco F2 will launch but it will take some time as the company believes Poco F1 is still an important device and consumers are interested to buy it.
