When the Pocophone F1 launched almost two years ago, it quickly became one of the most popular phones in the market, breaking barriers and delivering flagship performance for a fraction of the price.
With the release of POCO F2 Pro in the Philippines today, (June 15, 2020), the device tailored for tech enthusiasts– those who prefer performance over frills –is out to challenge the other flagship that costs twice, or even 3x its price tag.
The POCO F2 Pro takes the mobile experience to the next level with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Processor, a Kyro 585 octa core chip with an Adreno 650 GPU, Liquid cool Technology 2.0, a large 6.67″ AMOLED Screen, 64MP main shooter and 20MP selfie camera and a 4700 mAh battery–all that for a price of P26,990.
Powerfully cool with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and LiquidCool Technology 2.0
POCO F2 Pro takes the mobile experience to the next level with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865: the most powerful 5G processor on the market. Paired with a Kryo 585 octa-core chip processor and Adreno 650 GPU, both offer 25% improved performance over their predecessor, delivering the ultimate performance with constantly connected users in mind. The powerful SoC is complimented with ultra high-speed LPDDR51 RAM and the latest UFS 3.1 storage, which enable POCO F2 Pro to offer top-notch read-and-write capabilities for insanely smooth operations.
With LiquidCool Technology 2.0, POCO F2 Pro sports the largest vapor chamber available on the market, along with multiple stacks of graphite and graphene. This solution keeps the device cool, especially the SoC and the surface of the phone, and sustains peak performance even under heavy activity loads. Optimized for power users and TÜV Rheinland High Gaming Performance certified, POCO F2 Pro delivers an improved gaming experience with enhanced HDR display and realistic haptic feedback with a z-axis linear motor. It also offers an immersive audio experience with Hi-Res Audio certification.

The device is offered in radiant colors and styles to suit every personality, including grey, purple, blue, and white – sporting an anti-glare matte finish in the purple and grey variants.
With a contrast ratio of 5000000:1 and a brightness of 500 nits (typ) / 800 nits (HBM), the device brings display quality to the forefront. No matter the time of day, users can count on a comfortable viewing experience through POCO F2 Pro’s bright 6.67” AMOLED ultimate Full Screen Display, featuring a 360° triple ambient light sensor to deliver accurate ambient light detection and smooth brightness adjustment.

The Pro mode for both photo and video offers more control over focus and exposure, so users can capture higher quality images without the use of a DSLR or other professional cameras.
On the front, POCO F2 Pro sports a massive 20MP pop-up camera with a multicolor notification light, helping minimize front screen bezels without compromising camera quality.
