History

The Poco brand was launched as a Xiaomi sub-brand in August 2018. The Poco sub-brand had a small team within Xiaomi, and chose the name Poco as it represented the team since “poco” means “a little” in Spanish and Italian.[9][10] Xiaomi introduced the Pocophone F1 under the Poco branding which became a success.[11] Poco India became an independent brand before the launch of its second device in January 2020. During the span of 3 years, the brand launched 11 devices, most of them are rebranded Redmi smartphones.[12][13]

In January 2021, Poco India introduced its new mascot and slogan Made of Mad.[14]
