David Liu, a global executive of Poco, hinted lately to the release of a new Poco F series phone, however he did not reveal the specific name. The Poco F6 is the favorite. The new F series device’s characteristics have surfaced online ahead of its launch date, which the Xiaomi sub-brand has not yet disclosed. It’s expected to operate on the recently announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. It is rumored to use a Sony IMX882 50-megapixel sensor.
