Redmi K40 series was launched in China yesterday i.e February 25th and it seems the phone is set to launch globally as a POCO phone. Earlier this week, the Redmi K40 global variant with model number M2012K11AG was spotted at the IMDA certification under the POCO branding. This same model has now received the Indonesian Telecom certification, again with the POCO brand, as spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma. While the listing doesn’t reveal the name of the phone, it is speculated to be the POCO F2 or POCO F3.
Redmi K40 to be rebranded as a POCO phone?
The IMDA listing earlier this week revealed that the POCO phone will come with 5G support, just like the Redmi K40. POCO is yet to launch a 5G smartphone in India but we may see that change in the coming months. The Indonesia Telecom certification suggests an Asia launch is imminent and we may also see the phone arrive in India in the future.
