POCO F2 Pro to launch in the Philippines on June 15

We’ve previously reported that the POCOPHONE F2 Pro is coming to the Philippines. It looks like we finally have an official date as well. Its time to mark your calendars because the POCO F2 Pro will launch in the Philippines on June 15, 2020.

The announcement was made on POCO’s official Facebook page, with the hashtags #POCOisBACK, #PowerfullyCool and #POCOPH.

No price and availability details have been revealed, but we do have an idea (a guess, really), as to how much it could cost. Looking at its price in Europe of EUR 499, we expect it to be somewhere north of PHP 27,000.
