A tech blog claims to have dug up a new patent for a phone that looks suspiciously like a POCO F1, albeit with more cameras and a punch-hole display. As this design is indeed attributed to the OEM Xiaomi, it may just be possible that the cost-effective flagship-killing brand is not dead after all.

That's dreadful, even silly notch is better than a hole in the screen.
I'm looking forward to the Pocophone F2, however I will not buy it immediately.
After the nasty anti roll back "feature" on my Mi Max 3, I will wait to see what kind of 'surprise' this phone brings us.
