Last year, Xiaomi introduced a new sub-brand called Poco, and the first smartphone from the brand was the Poco F1. It is the company’s flagship smartphone that takes on the OnePlus 6/6T, and Asus Zenfone 5Z among others. Besides top-of-the line hardware and aggressive pricing, one of the highlights of the smartphone was that Xiaomi offers premium custom cases and skins at reasonable prices.
Until now, you had the Black Sandstone skin to offer a proper grip while holding the phone, and the Ebony Wood with wooden texture on it. Now, as a new year gift for Xiaomi Poco F1 users, the company has introduced two new skins – Matte Yellow and Black Matrix. These skins are priced at Rs 299 each, and can be purchased via Flipkart or Mi.com.
This #NewYear, match your style and flaunt your #MasterOfSpeed with high-quality premium skins available on https://t.co/DREiXV90LG and @Flipkart.
