Poco has revealed the launch date for their upcoming flagship device ‘Poco X2‘ following it becomes a standalone company. The device will be showcased on February 4, which is next week.

In 2017, Xiaomi launched one of the best smartphones of the decade, Pocophone f1. The device caught a lot of attention in the market because of its extremely low price and high-end performance. The device packed Snapdragon 845 chipset, which at that time was launched on flagship devices that cost more than $1000.

Excited to share: #POCO will now be an independent brand!

What started as a sub-brand within Xiaomi, has grown into its own identity. POCO F1 was an incredibly popular phone. We feel the time is right to let POCO operate on its own.
