Redmi earlier this week launched its first-ever gaming phone, Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. The phone is so far available in China. There is no official word on when the phone will be available in other markets. A new leak, however, says the phone is coming to India soon but with Poco branding.

According to leakster Kacper Skrzypek, the handset would launch in India as Poco F3 GT. Skrzypek found references of a device with model number “M2104K10I” in MIUI 12, reports Techradar.

If the leak is true, Poco F3 GT will replace Poco X3 Pro as the premium and flagship from the company. The X3 Pro is available in India for a starting price of ₹18,999. The phone comes with high-end specs like Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 processor, 120Hz display, Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection, and 48-megapixel quad-camera.
