Yes, it was confirmed in September 2019 that the Pocophone F1 would receive the MIUI 11 update. The update was confirmed by Alvin Tse, the head of Pocophone Global, after the initial MIUI 11 roadmap did not include the phone because it wasn't released in China.

Based on a specs comparison from April 2019, the Pocophone F1 held advantages in performance, gaming capability, and battery life due to its flagship Snapdragon 845 chipset.
