Last year, we expected to see the launch of a Poco F2 (or a Pocophone F2 outside of India), but it never happened. Now, we’re barely a month into 2020 and we’ve already got plenty of rumors to strongly suggest we will see the device quite soon.
Today, Poco itself — which is now its own company outside of Xiaomi — confirmed that the Poco F2 is indeed on the way. Well, it sort of did, anyway. In a pair of tweets, the company announced that Poco “Season 2” is coming soon, which we can only assume is a clever way of confirming a next-generation Pocophone is imminent.
Or, it could be that Poco is making a second season of a TV show that doesn’t have a first season. You can choose to take this literally if you want, but we feel quite comfortable Poco is talking about a phone here.

Anyway, the first tweet to drop came in the form of a short video, which we’ve mirrored above. The video doesn’t give much information, but it’s designed to feel like an announcement for a new season of a crime show. Maybe a new C.S.I.? You can watch the video above to try and spot any clues.
The second tweet related to “Season 2” of Poco came in the form of a letter. Check it out for yourself below:
An open letter to all #POCO fans!
Thanks for making it possible. #POCOIsHere and we’re ready for an action-packed season 2. Are you? pic.twitter.com/vYOQ8HZj8v

Once again, nowhere in the letter does Poco confirm that a new phone is on the way, much less use the term “Poco F2” or “Pocophone F2.” However, we’re still pretty comfortable in saying that’s what the company is suggesting with these two tweets.
The rumor mill suggests that the Pocophone F2 could be a re-branded Redmi K30. If true, you should expect a 4G-powered device with an upper mid-range Snapdragon 730G processor, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of expandable storage, and a 4,500mAh battery.
