This was supposed to be the first Poco smartphone with IP68 protection. Live photos of Poco X1
The legendary Pocophone F1 was released in August 2018 and quickly won people’s love. But the next model of the brand could become even more popular if it did see the light of day. We are talking about the Poco X1, the live photos of which were published by the source.
The footage shows a working prototype of the planned Poco X1. For him, they even released several builds of MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1: the first number is 8.4.2, the last number is 8.5.24. The prototype was the first in the world to receive the Snapdragon 710 SoC (it even has a screen that was used in Qualcomm’s own prototype on this platform), that is, the Poco X1 could also become the first production smartphone on the Snapdragon 710. If it came out, of course. And he could also become the first Poco smartphone with IP68 protection – and this would definitely add to his popularity points.
But Poco X1 never came out, and most of the brand’s current smartphones are renamed (or with minimal changes) Redmi and Xiaomi models. The latest will be the Poco X4 Pro 5G – its premiere is expected on February 28. By the way, according to the source link, there are still a lot of live photos of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco smartphones that never came out.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
