POCO F1 with Snapdragon 845 launched in India

Xiaomi’s new sub-brand POCO made its debut today with the launch of POCO F1 in India. The device comes in 3 colours – Steel Blue, Graphite Black and Roso Red. It will be available in three storage options – 64GB+6GB, 128GB+6GB and 256GB+8GB RAM. The top variant also comes with a special Armoured Edition with Kevlar back. The most surprising (and shocking for competitors) part of the launch event was the price reveal. The base variant with 64GB storage and 6GB RAM priced at just Rs.20999 making it the cheapest device available with Snapdragon 845.

POCO F1 will be manufactured in India, and I guess this gives POCO an advantage so that it can offer the F1 at such a low price. Take a look at other Flagship smartphones with SD845 available in India, OnePlus 6 starts at Rs.34999, (64GB+6GB), and Asus Zenfone 5z (64GB+6GB) price starts at Rs.29999.
