Xiaomi’s sub-brand POCO began its journey with the launch of POCO F1 in August 2018. But after a successful start, the sub-brand remained dormant until Xiaomi established it as an independent brand early last year. After that announcement, POCO launched several new smartphones in various price ranges. But despite constant requests from fans, the company has yet to release a POCO F2. However, that may change soon.
POCO India recently shared a video on Twitter recapping their progress in 2020 and previewing what’s to come in 2021. Towards the end of the video, the text “The F2” flashes intermittently, which many believe hints at the launch of POCO F2.
The stage is set! The fun has begun! Let’s get ready to take it to the next level!
Excited? You should be, because next year is going to be even crazier.
As we enjoy ourselves, let’s remember all that we have accomplished together! Thanks ❤️ pic.twitter.com/K0432jSj8B

It’s worth noting that while there is already a successor to POCO F1 in the form of POCO F2 Pro, it was never released in India. As a result, one can believe that the POCO F2 could be a cheaper version of the POCO F2 Pro for the Indian market. However, that may not be the case if recent leaks are to be believed.
According to XiaomiUI’s Telegram group, the POCO F2 will be a mid-range smartphone with the codename “courbet”. It will be based on Qualcomm’s sm7150 platform, which is believed to be the new Snapdragon 732G. The device will reportedly have a quad-camera setup on the back, a 4250mAh battery, reverse charging support, and NFC support on the global model. While we can confirm that Xiaomi is indeed developing a device codenamed “courbet” (and “courbetin” for the Indian model), and we can corroborate these specifications, we cannot be sure whether it will be called POCO. F2 for the moment.
