Poco F1 was launched with Android 8.1 Oreo back in 2018. Since then, a lot has changed. Manu Kumar Jain recently announced that Poco will not be Xiaomi's sub-brand anymore and will have a separate entity and a separate team altogether. At the time of launch, the Poco F1 shook the market by bringing a flagship processor at under Rs. 20,000. The smartphone is currently available with a starting price tag of Rs. 14,999, which is still a good deal to consider.
