A new Poco smartphone is in development, and it is intended for the global market. However, a recent certification listing suggests that the device may be a rebrand of another upcoming Xiaomi smartphone, the Redmi Note 10 4G.

Xiaomi has registered a new Poco-branded smartphone with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), a move that usually signifies a company is close to a product release. The registration of the device coincides with a tweet published Angus Kai Ho Ng, the Product Marketing Manager and Global Spokesperson of Poco Global, who stated the following:

While Poco is yet to confirm what device it plans to release, Xiaomi's EEC listing does. Xiaomi registered the model number M2010J19CG with the EEC, which is like the M2010J19SC that the MIIT certified last month. According to DigitalChatStation, the M2010J19SC is the model number of the Redmi Note 10 4G. The similarity of model numbers suggests that the M2010J19CG and M2010J19SC are related in some way, with one being a regional variant of the other.

If that is the case, then this new Poco smartphone may be a rebranded Redmi Note 10 4G, or a global version of it. There have been plenty of rumours about the Redmi Note 10 series in the last few weeks, but none specifically about the Redmi Note 10 4G. Apparently, Xiaomi will be bringing a 108 MP camera sensor to the Redmi Note 10 series, along with Dimensity 720 and Snapdragon 750G chipsets. It remains to be seen whether any of this hardware filters down to the 4G model, though.
