Smartphone maker Poco has been in the news for a few days. After teasing the “next Poco”, its general manager in India, C. Manmohan hinted that the new device is less than a month away. Now, an unnamed Poco smartphone has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification site. The model number of this M2003J6CI device that has not yet been released on the BIS list is the same one that was spotted on the Xiaomi website and links it to the Poco M2 Pro.

What do we know about the Poco M2 Pro so far?
Although there is no official confirmation yet, however, all the leaks and rumors suggest that it is the Poco M2 Pro that will debut in India soon. A device with a similar model number has already been spotted in the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG databases, where it was revealed that the upcoming phone could have Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity, could run on Android 10 based on MIUI 11 ready to use and supports high-speed dual Wi-Fi (2GHz, 5GHz). Interestingly, the leaks also reveal that the new Poco M2 Pro may be closely related to the Redmi 9 series. So much so, however, that it may carry the same stuff with a Snapdragon 720G SoC that also powers the Redmi 9 Pro. As for variants of the Redmi 9 series, which are launching in various markets around the world with slightly different hardware configuration, it may be that one of these international variants will be rebranded under the name of Poco M2 Pro in India. Also, depending on the price of the Redmi 9 series devices, the Poco M2 Pro is likely to be priced at Rs. 20,000 in India. However, since all of the information above is based on leaks and speculation, they can be taken with the proverbial pinch of salt. We will keep the website updated as soon as we have an official confirmation. Via: Gizmochina
