The Xiaomi POCO F1’s USP since launch has been the fact that it is the most affordable smartphones in the Indian market to sport the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, starting at Rs 20,999. Well, from 6 to 8 December, you can get your hands on the smartphone with discounts of up to Rs 5,000.
POCO India took to its official Twitter handle earlier today to reveal that the POCO F1 will receive discounts up to Rs 5,000 on the mentioned days when bought from Xiaomi’s own Mi.com or Flipkart. POCO did not dive much into details or conditions around the discount and the company’s website doesn’t detail them either.
The dates here also happen to coincide with Flipkart’s Big Shopping Days sale which is set to begin 6 December.
