Xiaomi Starts Seeding MIUI 9.6.22 Update for Poco F1 With Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

Last month, Xiaomi launched the Poco F1, which was the first device under its new sub-brand Poco. The device made its name by being the cheapest smartphone on the market to sport the Snapdragon 845. With a price tag of around Rs 20,000 and packing very impressive specifications, the Poco F1 garnered massive sales. However, soon after a lot of users bought the phone, the Mi forum started filling in with complaints about bugs on the Poco F1. Although most of the complaints on the panel were about software which is easily resolvable, some also reported of issues like screen bleed for which the buyers had to replace their phones. To target these issues, Xiaomi has rolled out a new update which fixes the bugs and brings other improvements on the Poco F1 device.
