The POCO F1 was an unprecedented phenomenon in the budget premium smartphone segment when it launched last year. It promised high-quality internals including a Snapdragon 845 SoC, a big 4,000mAh battery, IR face unlock and a lot more at just around Rs 20,000 in India, a feat not even matched by the self-proclaimed flagship killer – OnePlus. Now, seven months later, the handset price has dropped even further making it an even more solid value-for-money buy. The POCO F1 can be had for a record price as low as Rs 16,499 ($237) in India as part of the POCO Days sale set to kick off soon.
