We heard rumors about a new Xiaomi smartphone dubbed the "Pocophone F1" for a while. Under a newly registered brand - "Poco" - we discovered that Xiaomi was planning to launch a new flagship smartphone at a competitive price on the Asus ZenFone 5Z and OnePlus 6 models in India. This new flagship Xiaomi smartphone would have a Snapdragon 845 Qualcomm and a notch LCD. Although the rumors do not always give an exact image of a device, the Pocophone F1 was fully disclosed well before the launch. All we had to learn about the device was its availability on the market and its prices. Today, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Poco F1 in India (which will be called the Pocophone F1 in other markets).

Xiaomi sub-brand Poco launched the Poco F1 phone in India on Wednesday at a starting price of Rs 20,999. This is for the base 6GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. The Poco F1 will also be available in as many as three other variants: 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and a special armored edition with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a Kevlar back.

"Poco stands for 'a little' - we believe in starting small but dreaming big. As a small outfit within Xiaomi, Poco has the freedom to start from scratch, zeroing in on the product choices and technologies that matter. This is why we have created a smartphone that delivers unbelievable performance, focusing on the core innovations that truly matter, which we believe will resonate with tech enthusiasts," Jai Mani who is head of product, Poco Global, said.
