Xiaomi’s Poco F1 will be going on its first sale today. The device will be sold via Flipkart and Xiaomi’s own website from 12 pm. The Poco F1 is the first smartphone from the Chinese company’s sub-brand. Despite being a new sub-brand, one can expect a huge interest in the smartphone, considering Xiaomi’s past sales records.

The device comes in a total of four variants. The base variant is priced at Rs 20,999 and comes with 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory. The second variant comes with 128GB storage and 6GB of RAM which is priced at Rs 23,999. These are the only two variants that are currently listed on Flipkart. However, there are two more variants, one with 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage and the other with identical specifications but a Kevlar coated back panel, which Xiaomi likes to call Armoured Edition.
