In another development, POCO India Head Himanshu Tandon teased the POCO F5 in a cryptic tweet on Twitter. In a separate tweet, he also affirmed that the upcoming POCO phone will launch only in 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB storage configurations following the poll results from his followers. We believe the top executive could be talking about the POCO F5 since the company might not launch a 256GB version for its X and M-series models.
