Xiaomi has made the POCO Launcher available for all smartphones on the Google Play Store
Xiaomi recently released a new smartphone sub-brand POCO, with which it also launched a new skin dubbed POCO Launcher. The skin was exclusive to smartphones under the POCO brand, but the company said it will soon release the same for other Xiaomi smartphone owners to download and use.
Now, the company seems to have released the launcher for every smartphone. We downloaded and used the launcher on Honor Play and the Realme C1 directly from Google’s Play Store and it worked perfectly fine.
To get the POCO launcher on your smartphone, you will be required to open the Google Play Store on your Android-powered smartphone and search for ‘POCO Launcher’. The first app that pops up will be the POCO launcher by Xiaomi Inc, you will need to click on it. A new page will open where you will be able to view details and screenshots of the app. Click on Install, after that open the launcher and select use as default launcher if you like it. You can easily change back to your original launcher from the device settings.
