The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 (Xiaomi Poco F1 in India) is a smartphone developed by Xiaomi Inc, announced on 22 August 2018 in New Delhi, India.[2] It is part of Xiaomi's all-new smartphone line of mid-range devices delivering flagship specifications at a much lower price than some other competitors. This device is available globally in limited numbers, but in India it has broader availability.[3][4][5]
Specifications
Hardware
The Pocophone F1 runs on a Snapdragon 845 (10 nm) processor. It features a 6.18" IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen screen with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 and a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels.

The camera sensors are placed right above the fingerprint sensor. The Pocophone F1 has dual rear cameras based on Sony's EXMOR RS (stacked CMOS) IMX363 1/2.55" sensor with 12 MP, f/1.9 aperture and 1.4 µm pixel size. It has dual pixel Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF). The secondary camera acts as a depth sensor with 5 MP, aperture f/2.0 and pixel size of 1.12 µm. Backside light is emitted from a dual-LED flash. The camera has an HDR or panorama program. Video can be made in 2160p@30fps, 1080p@30fps (gyro-EIS), or 1080p@240fps mode. The camera has a manual mode as well; users can adjust white balance (presets and light temperature), set a shutter speed (1/1000s to 32s) and ISO (100-3200). There is also a manual focus with focus peaking. The Pocophone F1 was the runner-up of MKBHD's blind smartphone camera test in 2018.[6] A software update in January 2019 added 960fps slo-mo video recording and night mode. Night mode is meant to improve low-light photography; it combines eight photos with different exposure levels to form an image with less noise and better exposure.[7]
At the front, the device features a 20 MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture and 0.9 µm pixel size, which has HDR software. Analytic capabilities coupled with 2μm large pixel (4-in-1 Super Pixel) technology allow for clearer and brighter selfies. Selfie software AI Beautify 4.0 and precise bokeh effect makes each shot seem as if it is taken in front of a studio canvas. Video can be recorded at 1080p@30fps. There is also an infrared light sensor and infrared camera for facial recognition.[8]
Pictures can be taken in JPEG or RAW format (RAW in DNG format is available on ″Open Camera″ application).
Memory
The Pocophone F1 comes with internal storage options of 256GB/8 GB RAM or 64/128 GB with 6 GB RAM; both have expandable memory through a microSD card up to 256 GB (uses dual SIM).
Software

Sales
Since it was announced in August 2018, it instantly became Xiaomi's bestseller with 700,000 units sold until 6th December 2018. It was the top rated smartphone of Q3 2018 in India.[10] In October 2018, it was announced that Xiaomi would be bringing the Pocophone to South Korea. It was released on November 19th, 2018.
