The company has also ventured into the smartwatch segment with the Poco Watch 96. The launch of the Poco Pods marks its entry into the AIoT space.

The company claims that the Poco Pods offer a balanced sound quality and a comfortable fit. They also support fast charging, which can provide up to 90 minutes of playback with a 10-minute charge. The earbuds also have touch sensors that can be used to control music and calls.
