It competes with phones in the premium segment yet is priced competitively as a budget to mid-range device. However, now, this deal has turned even sweeter. According to the Poco F1 listing on Flipkart and Mi.com, the smartphone’s 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant has received a price cut of Rs 2,000. This means, down from the earlier price of Rs 22,999, the Poco F1 is now available for Rs 20,999.
