Poco F2 series have been doing rounds of the Internet for some time now. Several reports have tipped the alleged pricing and few specifications of the two phones rumoured to be a part of the series – Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro - however, Poco is yet to confirm them. But it seems that the launch of the smartphones are not far away after the company on Thursday confirmed the arrival of unnamed Poco product(s) on May 12. As pointed out by previous reports, it is speculated that Poco will unveil Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro at the global event on May 12.

The development of the upcoming launch was shared by Poco on Twitter. Although the tweet does not reveal the name of the upcoming Poco product, we can see multiple screenshots of users talking about the Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro, therefore, suggesting that the post is about the aforementioned smartphones' launch. Similarly, the company earlier this week in a separate tweet had claimed that a "second generation" Poco product is coming. The second-generation likely indicates towards the Poco F2 series that is said to succeed the Poco F1 series - launched in 2018.

Recently, a report had claimed that Xiaomi's Spanish PR agency had sent out invites for a virtual Poco event that is set to take place on May 12. A day after that report, a separate report had claimed that Poco will unveil the Poco F2 Pro at the event.

It was further tipped that the Poco F2 Pro will come in four colour options, including Blue, Grey, Purple, and White.
