Xiaomi’s latest Redmi K40 will launch globally as a Poco smartphone, reports 91Mobile.
According to the report, the information is based on a listing on Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The listing shows a smartphone with model number M2012K11AG certified as a Poco phone. The model number is said to be of the vanilla Redmi K40 version.
Repackaging a Redmi phone as a Poco phone is not very surprising. Poco has launched a few rebranded Redmi smartphones as their own. For instance, its comeback phone Poco X2 was a rebadged Redmi K30 4G from China. The M2 Pro is also considered as repackaged Redmi Note 9 Pro.
