Here’s How to Unlock Bootloader on Poco F1

Xioami’s Poco F1 has so far received great reviews from most users, and despite some persistent bugs, the phone remains amazing value for money. The  Poco F1 is selling in significant numbers , according to the company, and one factor that might have drawn Android enthusiasts to the phone is the support for bootloader unlock.

In line with this, the company  released Poco F1’s kernel source . Another issue solved by Poco was the reduction in the waiting time before users can unlock the F1 bootloader.

The press invite clearly highlights four letters which collectively form the word ‘2 Pro’, clearing all doubts that the company is gearing up to launch the Realme 2 Pro later this month. The Pro moniker indicates that the upcoming smartphone will bring upgraded hardware over the Realme 2 and will reportedly flaunt a new design. So far, we are yet to come across a credible report about the Realme 2 Pro’s specs, but we expect the company to go with a more capable processor than the mediocre Snapdragon 450 SoC inside the Realme 2. The device lagged behind the Realme 1 on the benchma
