Xiaomiis expected to deliver more phones for the second half of the year, such as the Mi Max 3 and Mi Mix 3. A newFCC filing, however, suggests we could be in for another device, dubbed POCOphone.

The filing revealed the POCOphone brand name and model number (M1805E10A), but we also see areferenceto two variants. Both models pack 6GB of RAM, but they differ in the storage departments, offering 64GB or 128GB of space.
The storage and RAM amounts suggest the POCOphone could be a top-level device, but it’s not a given; theRedmi Note 5 Prois considered a mid-range Xiaomi device, but it’s available in a 6GB RAM/64GB storage option. We won’t know for sure until we see more specs.
In any case, the fact that Xiaomi chose this name suggests the new device will stand out from the company’s other device families.
Xiaomi already has the budget-minded Redmi series, comprised of the standardRedmiphones and theRedmi Notephablet family. Meanwhile, the Mi series aims higher, featuring theMi flagships, innovativeMi Mixdevices, and the giganticMi Maxphones.
The POCOphone brand could simply be a region-specific or even a codename for a device from the Mi or Redmi series. If the company is starting a new device family, though, Xiaomi would need to differentiate it from its other phones somehow — and it would be interesting to see what approach it takes. It’s not every day there’s a new series from Xiaomi.
