Redmi K30 Pro may launch in India as the POCO F2, hints new leak

However, it may not be quite as affordable as the POCO F1.

What you need to know

New evidence suggests the recently launched Redmi K30 Pro might launch in India under the POCO brand.
The standard Redmi K30 was launched in India as the POCO X2 last month.
Redmi K30 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset and features a 60Hz notchless AMOLED display.

Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched the Snapdragon 865-powered K30 Pro at an online-only event in China earlier this week. Like its predecessor, the Redmi K30 Pro comes with a notchless AMOLED display and a pop-up selfie camera. While Redmi is yet to announce any plans of launching the K30 Pro in global markets, a report from XDA Developers now claims the phone may debut in India under Xiaomi's POCO brand.

While decompiling the latest version of the MIUI Camera app found in the latest MIUI 11 beta, XDA Junior Member Kacskrz found references to a model names "Imi" and "Imiin." The device code-named "Imiin" is expected to be the Indian variant of the Redmi K30 Pro, since the K30 Pro is code-named "Imi. " More importantly, the code revealed that photos shot with "Imiin" will display the watermark "SHOT ON POCO PHONE," which hints at the possibility of the K30 Pro launching in India as the successor to the POCO F1. The information doesn't really surprise us, since the Redmi K30 was launched in India as the POCO X2 last month.

We expect the "POCO F2" to launch in India sometime in the second quarter of the year, although we wouldn't be surprised if the launch is delayed due to the coronavirus crisis. Xiaomi recently indefinitely postponed the first sale of the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in India and has also decided to postpone the Mi 10 series launch in the country due to the nationwide lockdown that is in place to limit the spread of COVID-19.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
