Xiaomi sub-brand POCO has been in the news for the past few days. After launching the POCO F1 smartphone back in 2018, the company has been silent for more than a year. Now, it looks like the company is working on a new smartphone. According to the latest reports, Xiaomi has recently filed a trademark for a phone with POCO F2 name. Separately, another smartphone by the name POCO X2 has surfaced on Geekbench.
