Xiaomi Poco F1 Is Official; Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Smartphone For Less Than RM 1300


To many consumers, Xiaomi is all about value for money but it seems like the company might be pushing that factor further with its newly launched spin-off brand Poco. Earlier today, the brand launched its first product, the Poco F1 which features flagship specs, design, and even material but at an unbelievable starting price.


In many ways, its “master of speed” tagline is being backed by the components that the brand has implemented on the F1. Inside, you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage alongside a 6.18-inch Full HD+ notched display.



At the back, twin camera sensors takes care of photography. The sensors are a 12MP and a 5MP sensor for the back, while selfies are taken care with the front 20MP sensor. For security, you will get both a fingerprint scanner at the back and face-unlock using the front camera as well the accompanying IR sensor. The F1 also features 4000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Design-wise, it did not change from the unboxing video we saw last week. Poco chose to use polycarbonate as the main construction material for the phone, which promises a body that is “seamless, sturdy and comfortable to hold on to,”. Of course plastic is cheaper than glass to manufacture, so it plays into the lower price point.

Poco will also be releasing a special version of the phone which is called the Armoured Edition. Built using a DuPont Kevlar aramid fiber, the brand stated that the material is 5 times more expensive than glass which made the Armoured Edition as one of the most premium smartphone within Xiaomi’s line-up.


There are four models for the Poco F1 announced during its launch in India. The first model is a 6GB/64GB model priced at INR 20,999 (about RM 1,233) as mentioned earlier while the 6GB/128GB model goes for INR 23,999 (RM 1,409).

There is also the 8GB/256GB model which carries a price tag of INR 28,999 (RM 1,703) sticker price and for the premium Armoured Edition, it can be obtained at INR 29,999 (RM 1,762).

Neither Xiaomi nor Poco have announced the phone’s availability outside of India for the time being but since the phone has been spotted on SIRIM’s database recently, there is a high chance that we might see this phone in Malaysia very soon.

Why PK TS just copy paste whats in front of LYN.

Mod kasi ban kaw TS.

Waste my data..

Should've made this as Android One and it would sell like hot pisang goreng.

They already have the A series for that (Mi A1, Mi A2 and A2 Lite)

This is to go head to head with Oneplus phones.

That Notch!

Cheh, India market and specs.
I think not suitable for malaysia markets lah.

Why india market not suit malaysian?

The miui OS not support google play store..
Unless the phone comes with international languages and Google play store.

They would fare better then with Android One on this but that's purely my opinion though.

Please elaborate. Thought since it's released in India, high chance it would be released globally as well

This model already overlapped local models.
I don't think so will be comes so soon.

gotta be honest, for that price you cant really complain even if it had a dickbutt drawn on the back

the moment your phone uses MIUI
snapdragon 999 with 10GB ram also lose to oneplus

this phone already appeared in SIRIM database

sorry to say but oneplus is crap, none of the people around me can tahan that crap more than 1 year, after that all changed to samsung/ huawei/ ipong. spec on paper is good but a lot of minor but crucial issue they can't settle.

1k++ is consider mid rang price now....


when grandpa start with android on Galaxy S, 6++ consider mid range price already
