There have been some recent developments with regards to Xiaomi Pocophone F2 that might be of interest to those who have been keeping track of the device. To start with, it would appear that the unit will be renamed when it is released outside of India. To the rest of the world, the Xiaomi Pocophone F2 will be the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro. What’s more, recent teasers for the device might have been a response to the surging popularity of the OnePlus 7.
One of the reasons why the Xiaomi Pocophone F2 is garnering so much attention is how its budget-friendly price does not stop it from offering high-end features. From the camera to the performance, this particular device is expected to exceed expectations. However, the release of OnePlus 7 has proven how much influence the brand has over consumers. Recent benchmark tests, though, seem to indicate that the Xiaomi Pocophone F2 is better, The Leaker reports.
Then again, specifics don’t always work as effective tools in combating more popular options. The OnePlus 7 has been considered one of the most highly anticipated devices this year, and a lot of this is due to marketing. The leaks regarding Xiaomi Pocophone F2 are currently thought of as a means of undercutting that advantage.
Simply put, the Chinese brand is hoping that showcasing what the Xiaomi Pocophone F2 is truly capable of will be a huge factor in convincing shoppers to go with the unit. This does not just apply to those looking for budget smartphones but even for those looking to upgrade their older high-end devices.
Whatever the case may be, it’s a fair bet that the Xiaomi Pocophone F2 will likely do well in the mid-range smartphone market when it does launch. Xiaomi likely just wants to make sure that it doesn’t do worse than the OnePlus 7.
