Exciting news for smartphone enthusiasts: Xiaomi is expanding its Poco lineup with what is rumored to be its very first ‘Ultra’ branded model. This eagerly anticipated release has been spotted in the IMEI database, suggesting it might be the global version of the Redmi K80 Pro—set to launch in China before the year ends.
Traditionally, Xiaomi rolls out two Poco F series models each year, and this year we’ve already seen the introduction of the Poco F6 and F6 Pro. However, whispers in the tech world hint at a third addition to this dynamic lineup: the Poco F7 series. There’s speculation that we could be looking at dedicated global and Indian versions of the Poco F7, along with a Poco F7 Pro that surfaced this past summer.
Interestingly, the development process seems to have undergone some modifications. Previously, the device was identified with the model number ‘24122RKC7’. Recent data shows a switch to ‘24117RK2C’. The presence of ‘C’ and ‘G’ variants typically indicates the differences between Chinese and global models.
The Poco F7 Pro is touted to pack a punch with the impressive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. However, before Poco enthusiasts around the world can get their hands on it, its close cousin, the Redmi K80, might hit the Chinese markets, possibly as soon as next month or by December.
Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting development unfolds, and keep an eye on this groundbreaking entry in the Poco lineup!
