* Update 03/01/01 – It is now believed this Geekbench listing is just for the Pocophone F1 and the name has been modified. *The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 was one of the big hits last year thanks to its incredibly low pricing making it the cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 phone on the market.It appears there could be a successor landing soon with a Geekbench listing showing up for the Xiaomi POCO F2. It is worth noting that this could be a fake, so take everything with a pinch of salt.The listing reveals key information on its CPU, RAM and OS. It is probably unsurprising that the phone does not feature the latest Snapdragon 855 SoC as this has only just been announced. It will instead keep the Snapdragon 845 from the previous device. This will be complemented with 6 GB of RAM which is also the same as the F1.
The Poco F2 is loaded with Android 9 Pie OS. In the single-core benchmarking test of Geekbench, the handset recorded a score of 2321. In the multi-core test, it has scored 7564.With the current known specs being identical to the past model, if this device does launch soon, then it is likely to feature upgrades elsewhere. The original model has quite a wide notch so it is possible this will be reduced to waterdrop style as we have seen in the OnePlus 6T and Huawei P Smart (2019).One thing I would love to see on the new model would be NFC, that is the main thing that held me back from buying it myself, as I have become reliants on Google Pay for contactless shop transactions.The current Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is available from GearBest during their flash sale for a bargain £240.90 or alternatively there is UK stock from Amazon for £282.00

I have become a bit obsessed with power banks recently. In particular, power banks that provide high-wattage power delivery. With 60W or higher power banks, it opens up the number of devices you can charge. Most of my ultraportable laptops are 60W, but things like the 16‑inch MacBook Pro (2021) use a 140W USB-C. Most…
While Big Format Gaming Displays (BGFD) sound amazing they will be quite niche due to their size and price. Asus may have a great alternative with the ROG Strix XG438Q which is a a 43-inch DisplayHDR 600 screen which offers 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space and support for local dimming and 120Hz refresh…
You may have not heard of Naim before unless you are an audiophile but they hope to change this with the release of their Mu-So all in one wireless speaker. Priced at £895 this would be considered a high end speaker for most people, but it is actually an entry level system for Naim. The…
Premium routers tend to fall into one of two camps, ultra-high-performance single unit devices or mesh system routers. Living in a reasonably large house I love mesh systems as they provide reliable coverage across a large area, but they often sacrifice a peak speed performance, and due to the increasing number of components they can…
Samsung has unexpectedly announced its new flagship earlier than their normal schedule. It was expected to launch around the same time as the Samsung Galaxy S11 which would be at the start of 2020. With the announcement of the Samsung Exynos 990 that just leaves Qualcomm to show their cards for next years flagship chipset….
I was very impressed with the Huawei Matebook X Pro when I reviewed it back in 2018. Huawei also has a more affordable range of laptops with their D series which are powered by AMD CPUs. Like many other laptop brands, this has received its yearly update moving it from an AMD Ryzen 5 2500U…
