Xiaomi's Pocophone is doing the rounds of the Internet yet again as a new listing for POCO X2 has been spotted on Geekbench. The successor to one of the most popular phones of 2018 hasn't been announced officially yet, however, the company is meticulously keeping things under wrap.
Just days ago, trademark applications were filed by Xiaomi in China for the POCO F2, indicating a possible announcement. Having said that, the Geekbench listing refers to the successor as the POCO X2, running on Android 10 with 8GB RAM. The name of the motherboard is stated as "phoenixin" which is a codeword we have encountered before.
Last year, codename "phoenix" was revealed to be for the Redmi K30 and taking that into consideration, one could argue that the "phoenixin" codename could be the Indian variant of the Redmi K30.
Xiaomi can possibly go ahead and launch the Redmi K30 as the POCO X2 in India. The Geekbench scores of POCO X2 and Redmi K30 are eerily similar which only gives weight to this arguement.
We don't have a full list of specifications or features about the alleged successor to the POCO F1 yet, however, here's a brief look at the Redmi K30.
