Mid-range smartphones have made up a hefty bulk of all smartphone purchases for as long as we remember, and with the technological trickle-down over the past year, smartphones in the mid-range segment have seen some major technological leaps, arguably more so than innovations in the flagship tier.

Moreover, as premium-tier smartphone prices continue to creep up, the mid-tier is more appealing than ever. Keeping this in mind, more and more OEMs are focusing on creating affordable mid-range smartphones. OnePlus, known for its “flagship killer” smartphones, just launched its first serious attempt at a mid-range smartphone after 2015 for $500 redefining the Premium Mid-range phones segment. Following the launch, Google launched the Pixel 4A with one of the best cameras costing as low as $350. Now Poco is joining the race as well.

According to a recent tweet by Poco’s product marketing manager and global spokesperson, Angus Kai Ho Ng, a Poco phone that will take on the recently released OnePlus Nord is in the works. The official Poco Twitter account also replied to the tweet, confirming that a new phone is indeed coming.
