Xiaomi Poco F1 put to scratch, burn, bend test; here’s how it performed

Poco F1 was then put to two more tests by the YouTuber, and the phone apparently failed in both. In the burn test, the device’s display could not withstand even 10-seconds under an open flame, unlike rival OnePlus 6. In the bend test, Poco F1 did get bent out of shape in initial attempts, but the YouTuber successfully bent the phone after a huge amount of force was applied.

Poco F1 was launched in India last month. The mid-segment flagship comes with Snapdragon 845 processor, and the price starts at Rs 20,999.  Xiaomi claims to have sold over Rs 200 crores worth of Poco F1 units in less than five minutes during its first sale on August 29.
