Xiaomi says it has received an “overwhelmingly positive” response from the customer for its Poco F1 smartphones that undercuts many flagships with Snapdragon 845 processor. In fact, it is the only Snapdragon 845-powered smartphone priced at around Rs 20,000. However, there were some trade-offs such as the lack of Widevine L1 standard that Xiaomi overcame with a software update recently.
That aside, the Poco F1 comes with a 6.18-inch full-HD+ display with a notch that settles for an aspect ratio of 18.7:9. There are two cameras on the rear – a 12-megapixel dual-pixel AF camera and a 5-megapixel secondary depth camera. For selfies, Poco F1 is equipped with a 20-megapixel camera with AI capabilities. The smartphone supports 4K 30fps video recording. It is backed by a 4000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.
