Sep. 15, 2018The Poco F1, Xiaomi’s ultra-budget flagship, has taken the world by storm thanks to its powerful specifications in a relatively affordable package. Other than providing the best price to performance ratio in the market, thePoco F1was also Xiaomi’s first phone running MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. Furthermore, at the launch event the company also promised an update to Android 9 Pie in the near future, making the handset a must-buy for anyone looking for the absolute best performance at a reasonable price.
It seems like the Android 9 Pie update for the Poco F1 isn’t too far away as a unit running Android 9 has recently beenspotted on Geekbench. According to a recentreportfromMysmartprice, a Poco F1 runningAndroid 9has now surfaced on Geekbench, which suggests that Xiaomi is in advanced stages of testing the new build. However, the benchmark results of the Poco F1 running Android 9 aren’t as impressive as that of the unit running Android 8.1 Oreo, which leads us to believe that the build isn’t quite ready yet.
