Update: After the initial publishing of this article, Mi Store Philippines released an update stating that the incoming Pocophone F1 Armoured Edition will have a 6GB/128GB configuration, instead of the previously mentioned 8GB/256GB model.
Hello, is this armor edition available via Lazada? And also why is it not the 256GB 8GB RAM model?
Is the screen bleeding issue also present in units sold over Lazada Philippines. Most Poco f1 users from India and Indonesia report screen bleeding.
I am thinking of cancelling my order since no unit has been shipped yet for the 6+64 variant.
Hi, we’ll check a review unit to see if this is also happening in units sold in PH. We’ll get back to you.
