How to Install TWRP Custom Recovery on Xiaomi POCO F1

Xiaomi is known for selling smartphones at surprising price points. Yes, the company has sold low-end and mid-range smartphones with specs comparable to the competition, but at cut-throat prices, so it knows its success recipe. Now, it’s Xiaomi’s POCO F1 turn to be in the spotlight; this first phone from the new Xiaomi brand Pocophone comes with an aggressive price. It’s actually the cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 phone in the world and Xiaomi has managed to pack surprisingly awesome specs for the Rs 20,999 price, so I know that you enjoy it.
