Poco is reportedly preparing to launch two new smartphones under its F series, the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro. According to multiple sources, both devices are expected to debut globally during the second quarter of this year.
While both models are likely to be available in global markets, reports suggest that only the standard Poco F5 may launch in India. The Pro variant is reportedly unlikely to make its way to the Indian market.
Storage Variants Leaked by a Reliable Tipster
Well-known tipster Paras Guglani has shared key details about the storage configurations and color options for the upcoming Poco F5 lineup.
According to the leak, the Poco F5 will be available in two storage variants. These include an 8GB RAM model with 256GB storage and a higher-end version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The Poco F5 Pro is also expected to offer the same storage options.
Color Options for Poco F5 Series
Both smartphones are rumored to launch in three color variants. Buyers can expect the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro to be available in black, white, and blue finishes.
These color options are in line with Poco’s recent design language, offering a mix of classic and modern choices for users.
Rebranded Versions of Redmi Phones
Reports also suggest that the Poco F5 and F5 Pro will not be entirely new devices. Instead, they are expected to be rebranded versions of smartphones already available in China.
The Poco F5 is said to be based on the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, while the Poco F5 Pro is expected to be a renamed version of the Redmi K60. This approach aligns with Poco’s previous strategy of adapting Redmi devices for global markets.
Availability Expectations
Although Poco has not officially confirmed launch dates, the leaked timeline suggests a release window in the second quarter of the year. More information regarding pricing, specifications, and regional availability is expected to surface closer to the official launch.
