In 2020, Xiaomi-backed smartphone manufacturer POCO had launched the POCO F2 smartphone in the market. The company was also working on a standard model of the smartphone, dubbed the POCO F2 that was never launched.
Now, live images of the prototype model of the POCO F2 aka Redmi K20S have leaked online, showcasing how the smartphone that never officially debuted looks in terms of design.
The phone’s design appears to be quite similar to the one patented by Xiaomi in 2019 but the patent application was filed in 2018.
It is also being reported that the smartphone is equipped with an AMOLED display that offers Full HD+ screen resolution and has a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the display.
On the backside, the device has a triple rear camera setup but the exact details of the sensors are not available. As the smartphone in photos is running Engineering ROM(AOSP) based on Android 9 OS, the MIUI build version remains unknown.
The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, likely the same sensor used in POCO F1.
The prototype model is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which indicates that it was a direct successor to the POCO F1 that had taken the market by storm because of the top-of-the-line specs at a fairly competitive price point.
There were reports regarding the POCO F2 not being a flagship device and could be powered by the Snapdragon 732G SoC but POCO India Country Director Anuj Sharma refuted this report without actually revealing which chipset will power the phone.
