While the long-awaited POCO F2 Pro is now on the horizon, a surprise device called the Poco M2 Pro unexpectedly appeared on the Xiaomi India website yesterday. New evidence suggests that it could run on a Snapdragon 720G. XDA tipsters kacskrz and Akhil Narang investigated and discovered that the mysterious device was codenamed "gram". Now the same code name has already appeared in the kernel source code for the Redmi Note 9 Pro, as well as a watermark in the firmware. And since the Redmi Note 9 Pro rocks a Snapdragon 720G, it could be that the Poco M2 Pro also has the same chipset. However, this is more of a probability than a certainty and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

After the launch of the Poco F2 Pro, the company would have two smartphones in its stable: the Poco X2 that targets the upper mid-range, and the Poco F2 Pro, which would be a pure flagship at affordable prices. This leaves the doors open for Poco to explore the lower middle class where brands like Realme and Redmi already have their offerings. It also seems like the next logical step for the reinvigorated brand. On the other hand, this is the first example of the existence of the device and there is practically no more information available about its capabilities. Earlier this year, Poco India CEO C Manmohan said that the brand will launch several new devices under the Poco brand in 2020 and it seems to be happening.
