The storage is UFS 2.1, ensuring more speed. The memory can be further expanded with the microSD card slot that also doubles as a hybrid dual SIM slot. MIUI for POCO is based on Android 8.1 Oreo, but POCO assures that they will be rolling out the Android Pie update very soon. It includes a new Poco launcher that brings along an improved app drawer that organizes apps in different categories like communication, tools, photography and so on.

Both cameras come with a host of features like bokeh mode, AI for scene recognition and beautification features. Meanwhile, the front camera detail is yet to be revealed by the company, but some leaks suggest that the Poco F1 will pack a 20-megapixel camera with Super Pixel tech. The highest-specced model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage costs ₹28,999 (P22,190 or $415); it’s still a ridiculous value on paper.
