Xiaomi Poco F1 price slashed by Rs 2,000

Xiaomi has reduced the price of its Poco F1 smartphone by Rs 2,000 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage version. The price cut is a limited period offer and is active from today (March 25) to March 28. The company announcement the new price soon after rolling out the game turbo mode for the Poco F1.

With a discount of Rs 2,000, the Poco F1 is now available for Rs 20,999 at Mi.com and Flipkart. The Poco F1 has been treated with some important software updates in the recent months.

Poco F1 packs an AI-powered dual camera consisting of a 12MP Sony IMX363 primary sensor with dual pixel auto-focus. There is a 20MP sensor with Super Pixel technology at the front. The Super Pixel technology combines four adjacent pixels into one large 1.8μm pixel for clearer images with less noise.

The smartphone features a 6.18-inch IPS LCD display and runs on MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie OS. The device is fuelled by a 4,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging.

Recently, Xiaomi Poco F2 was spotted on benchmarking platform – Geekbench—with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and 4GB of RAM.  The smartphone is expected to come with the upcoming Android Q OS which has been released recently by Google for developers and Beta users.

According to the Geekbench, the Xiaomi Poco F2 scored 1776 points in a single-core test. The smartphone recorded 6097 points in multi-score test. The recent benchmarking scores of devices having Snapdragon 855 have totalled over 3,000 points in the single-core tests and approx. 10,000 in the multi-core tests. Thus, the scores of Poco F2 are quite low as compared to other Snapdragon 855 powered phones. The low score might also be due to 4GB RAM in Poco F1 as compared to devices that now pack up to 8GB of RAM.
