The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (Xiaomi Poco F1 in India) is a smartphone developed by Xiaomi Inc, announced on 22 August 2018 in New Delhi, India. Xiaomi is a Chinese company based in Beijing.[1] Though It is part of Xiaomi's line of mid-range devices, it is filled with high level of specifications. The device is available globally in limited numbers, except for India where it enjoys wide availability.[2][3][4] The Pocophone was often considered to be a flagship model of the Redmi line of 2019, although officially marketed as a separate and distinct model.
