Xiaomi Poco F1 is P2i certitified splash resistant, supports Quick Charge 4.0
Xiaomi Poco F1 made its debut in India last month. While the company at the Poco F1 launch mentioned that the smartphone supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0, Poco in its official Twitter India handle confirmed that the Poco F1 comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 support.
“Be up to speed with the #MasterOfSpeed! Comes inbuilt with @Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0 support,” the tweet reads.
In another tweet, the company has also confirmed that the Poco F1 is splash resistant. Poco in its Twitter handle cited that the smartphone comes with certification from P2i, a nanotechnology development company ‘popular’ for its liquid repellent technology. While the certification indicates that the Poco F1 can withstand spills and splashes it is not water resistant which means you can’t submerge it in water. Meanwhile, Jai Mani, Head of Product, also took to Twitter to announce the rollout of a new OTA update for other regions for face unlock. Mani also mentioned that the Poco F1 has 2x smart power amps that provide stereo-like effect from the bottom speaker.
