Flashback: Poco F1, the birth of a value-for-money legend

We don’t know if the execs at Qualcomm and Xiaomi were friends in high school or what, but the two companies enjoy a close working relationship. Sometimes this leads to sweet deals for Xiaomi – for example, the Mi 11 was the first Snapdragon 888 phone.
