Update: Xiaomi has started teasing the Night Vision capability of the Poco F1.

However, this will not be similar to the 3D true depth sensor found on the Apple iPhone X.

 

Xiaomi is all set for the launch of the Poco F1 in India on the 22nd of August in New Delhi. The Poco F1 will be the affordable flagship offering from the company with flagship class specifications to compete against the likes of the OnePlus 6 and the Asus ZenFone 5z.
