Since the new Redmi K20-series are already out in
China, it's time for Xiaomi's sub-brand to focus on the international market.
The latest piece of information, however, comes as a surprise because it seems
that in some countries, the handsets won't come out under the Redmi brand.
The Redmi K20 Pro is said to appear as Pocophone F2
Pro while the vanilla K20 will be named Pocophone F2. This also means that the
phones will be called Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro in India. The source also claims
that both phones will retain their amazing price tags.
To further complicate things Xiaomi just teased the
arrival of a new member to the Mi 9 family with a pop-up selfie camera, much
like the K20 and K20 Pro. It could very well be the Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro that
leaked the other day from a Polish source.
To sum things up, while in their original launch the
K20 and K20 Pro were Redmi phones, they will carry Xiaomi's brand and in
others, and be branded Pocophone/Poco elsewhere. It remains to be seen which
markets will get which versions. One thing is for sure, though, the hardware
will be the same and the price tag will be tempting.
