The Poco F1 will be upgraded to Android 9 Pie in Q4 of 2018, the company had confirmed earlier. Living up to its promise, Poco after testing the Android 9 Pie with the MIUI beta testers is now rolling out the stable update of the software to the users. Poco F1, to recall, was launched with Android 8.1 Oreo with MIUI 9.6 on top. The smartphone has been recently upgraded to the latest MIUI 10 UI which brings a range of features to the phone. Xiaomi sub-brand launched the Poco F1 back in August this year and the smartphone managed to garner a lot of attention from the consumers for being the cheapest Snapdragon 845 phone available in the market right now. Although the hardware setup impressed a lot of consumers, the software struggled. Poco seemingly was aware of the same and hence promised to soon upgrade the Poco F1 to MIUI 10 based Android 9 Pie. The company has lived up to its promise.
