Xiaomi’s Poco F1 (aka Pocophone F1) has been a prime target for modder because of its high value-for-money deal. This is evident with the number of custom ROMs available for the smartphone.
While the unofficial TWRP build for the Poco F1 were available for quite some time now, the smartphone has now finally got the official TWRP support. It can be downloaded from the official TWRP website and you can find it by going through the source link.
The TWRP recovery can be installed over USB, but if your device is already rooted, you can use the TWRP app from the Play Store. The developer has warned that the “build of TWRP will (probably) only work with devices using Full Disk Encryption (FDE)” and may not work with devices that have been converted to File-Based Encryption (FBE). It further adds that the FBE support may be added at a later date.
Xiaomi has promised to limit the bootloader unlock wait time for the Pocophone series to “only” 3 days, which is good compared to the company’s other phones but it’s still longer than devices from OnePlus and Google.
To remind you of the Poco F1’s specifications, the phone features a 6.18-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display and is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 flagship processor along with LiquidCool technology. The phone comes in three variants — 6GB/8GB RAM with 64GB/128GB/256 internal storage.
It comes equipped with a 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 primary sensor, coupled with a 5-megapixel secondary sensor on the back panel. On the front side, there’s a 20-megapixel selfie camera powered with artificial intelligence.
