Xiaomi Responds to Rumors About Poco Flagship India Launch Strategy

Xiaomi’s upcoming Poco flagship lineup has stirred a fresh round of discussion after reports suggested that Xiaomi China and the global division were interested in reintroducing Poco flagship models to the Indian market. However, the conversation quickly intensified when claims surfaced stating that Xiaomi India’s internal team was not in favor of bringing these devices to the country.

The initial report highlighted that Poco’s hardware reliability has significantly improved over the years, with major concerns now centered on UI refinement. With Android 16-based HyperOS 3 expected to arrive, many believe the upcoming software update could address these user experience issues and deliver a more polished UI.

Shortly after these claims gained traction, Sandeep Sarma, Associate Director for Marketing and PR at Xiaomi India, addressed the situation directly. He clarified that the idea of opposing any Poco flagship launch was inaccurate, stating that decisions are made unanimously within the group and are based solely on feasibility. He also emphasized that the India market remains crucial, highlighted by the fact that media were taken to the global launch event itself.

Sarma further reiterated that the Poco F8 Ultra and F8 Pro are not scheduled for an India release—something already communicated to media attendees—but firmly denied the notion that any specific Xiaomi India team blocked their launch. Instead, he stressed that no single unit within the company unilaterally opposes product decisions, and feasibility remains the central deciding factor.

For users hoping to see Poco flagship devices return to the Indian market, these statements offer mixed clarity: while Xiaomi India denies internal resistance, their final decisions still depend heavily on market viability. As the brand continues refining its software through HyperOS 3 and evaluating flagship potential, fans remain optimistic that Poco’s premium lineup could eventually make a comeback.
