Poco began hinting at a new Poco X3 Pro smartphone last week. Around the same time, we had already started seeing leaks and rumours around the new Poco F3, which is expected to be a rebranded Redmi K40 that was recently launched in China. Now, Poco has announced a global launch event set for March 22, where we might see the two rumoured devices being unveiled.
The March 22 launch event will begin at 8 pm GMT (2:30 pm IST) and will be available to watch live on Poco’s YouTube channel. Check out the tweet below.
The Poco F3 is widely speculated to be based on the Redmi K40, considering Poco has based its phones on Redmi K-series devices before. The Redmi K40 features a 6.67 inch AMOLED display panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G-enabled chipset.
Under the hood, the device also features up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. There is a triple camera setup on the back of the phone featuring a 48MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 5MP macro camera. On the front is a 20MP camera.
The device also features stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 4,520mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. There is also USB Power Delivery 3.0 and Quick Charge 3+ support. We can expect most of these specifications to be a part of the Poco F3 as well.
Poco also recently announced a new launch event on March 30 in India. This launch is likely for the Poco X3 Pro. The budget flagship device is expected to feature a Snapdragon 800 series chip along with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage.
An FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate is also expected on the Poco X3 Pro. For the battery, the phone is expected to come with a 5,200mAh battery with fast charging support.
