Poco F1, the first smartphone from Xiaomi's new sub-brand Poco, is launching in India on August 22. The official Twitter account of Poco India revealed the Poco F1 launch date on Monday without detailing any key specifications or price of the upcoming handset. The model confirmed by the sub-brand notably surfaced online as Pocophone F1 in the recent past. An unboxing video of the Poco F1 also emerged on YouTube last week that highlighted its display notch and dual rear camera setup. The smartphone is said to debut in two different storage variants - with 64GB and 128GB of onboard storage options. While the Poco F1 price for the 64GB variant is speculated to debut in Eastern Europe at EUR 420 (roughly Rs. 33,300), its 128GB variant could arrive at EUR 460 (roughly Rs. 36,400). India prices of the smartphone are likely to emerge at the time of formal launch later this month.

Xiaomi is rumoured to sell the Poco F1 in Eastern Europe with a starting price of EUR 420. Therefore, we can safely presume that the new model will be available in India in the sub-Rs. 40,000 price bracket.
