Xiaomi just launched its first smartphone under the POCOPHONE sub-brand in Indonesia, the F1!

Meet POCO F1

It is 2018's flagship killer due to its crazy high specs for the price. In particular, it is the only mid-range priced device to rock the Snapdragon 845 AIE flagship processor.

To keep the cost down, POCOPHONE packed the POCO F1 with a hardcoated polycarbonate build instead of metal and glass found on other devices.
