POCO F2 Pro set to launch in the Philippines

It looks like the POCO F2 Pro is coming to the Philippines. A teaser was posted on Xiaomi Philippines’ Facebook page, which we believe is the aforementioned phone.

The teaser “POCO is waking up” is actually the campaign slogan of the highly anticipated POCOPHONE F2 Pro when it launched last May. They are using the same image for a potential Philippine launch.

At this point, we do not yet know price and availability details. But seeing as it launched in Europe for EUR 499, we should expect it to be somewhere north of PHP 27,000.
