Xiaomi Launches POCO F1 with Snapdragon 845 SoC, Pricing Starts from Rs 20,999

From the last few months, there are rumors and leaks about the POCOPHONE from Xiaomi. Recently, the company has officially confirmed its presence by posting the teaser images. While this new brand is called as POCO in India, it will be called as POCOPHONE in the international markets. Today, POCO has officially launched its first ever smartphone called POCO F1 at an event held in New Delhi, India. Though the POCO F1 is certainly a powerhouse, it lacks the premium feel as seen on other Snapdragon 845-powered smartphones.

Lately, we are seeing several smartphones with some unique color options and form factors. However, the new POCO F1 comes with the polycarbonate unibody design. Talking about the processor, the device packs top-notch Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor as seen on other flagship smartphones. The 10nm Snapdragon 845 processor comes coupled with liquid cooling technology and Adreno 630 GPU. It comes in three different storage variants – 6GB + 64GB,  6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB.

For the first time, we are seeing a flagship Xiaomi smartphone featuring MicroSD card slot. On the front is the 6.18-inch Full HD+ IPS display with 18.7:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The huge notch on the top holds the front camera, earpiece, IR sensor. The device comes with hybrid SIM card slot and supports Dual 4G VoLTE. It is backed by a 4,000mAh non-removable battery and supports 18W Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology.
