The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is almost here. There is no official announcement yet but an unboxing video has already leaked. That’s how fast our sources are these days we wonder where do they get the information. In this case, where did GSMDome get the actual phone? The smartphone was obtained from a retailer in Romania. This device is highly anticipated because it is said to be the most affordable Snapdragon 845-powered at only $489.
Before this, it has already hit the AnTuTu benchmark. A video was also leaked after the specs and pricing of the phone codenamed Beryllium was made public.
An early certification showed the Snapdragon chipset plus liquid cooling system. True enough, the phone is powered by a premium Snapdragon but Xiaomi still managed to make it budget-friendly.
