Poco teases a Poco F1 successor, but can it really bring one

Poco was expected to follow that success with another Poco F1-like device. There were constant demands but the smartphone maker kept shrugging them, until this week, when it hinted at a successor to the Poco F1.

The smartphone market is growing and so are the number of brands. Many have come to India but only a handful have been able to give competition to established players like Apple and Samsung in the high-end category. OnePlus is one of them. The other that came close was Poco. The smartphone maker launched the Poco F1 in 2018 as one of the most important smartphones in the recent times. It was a powerful smartphone that didn’t cost users a fortune. Poco was expected to follow that success with another Poco F1-like device. There were constant demands but the smartphone maker kept shrugging them, until this week, when it hinted at a successor to the Poco F1. Though by a different name. Poco has put out an open letter for its fans which confirms the follow-up to its first and most popular smartphone till now. The company said that no smartphone has been able to match Poco F1’s price-point while delivering a similar performance. Only a Poco can beat a Poco the smartphone maker claimed while suggesting that the successor to the Poco F1 can be the Poco X3 Pro. Will it really be able to meet the standards of Poco F1? Seems tough.
