Xiaomi Poco F1: Armoured edition to go on sale for first time in India

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi' sub-brand Poco has already conducted the sale of Poco F1 variant on Flipkart and mi.com.

However, the premium edition of Poco F1 has not been on sale and now the company announced that the armoured edition with a 'real Kevlar' back will go on sale for the first time in India on September 5. The phone will be available on both the sites from 12 noon onwards.

POCO F1 armoured edition has a back panel built with DuPont Kevlar aramid fiber. The super-tough, heat-resistant material is widely used for applications in aviation, military and high-end cycling, according to the company.

The “POCO F1” smartphone, launched last week in India, comes with all the specifications that a “premium smartphone” boasts of, at a price unheard of.

Priced at Rs 29,999, the armoured edition comes with 8 GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The phone sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC with LiquidCool Technology, a 6.18-inch display, 12-megapixel rear camera.
