I would wager they found a much cheaper display maker than Samsung which supplies the screen for the Mi8. Other than that I don't know what differences there are but screen is one big difference.

    Nick, 28 Jul 2018Is this Mi 8 global version?No. This phone is from a brand new series. This phone for one has an LCD display rather than AMMOLED that the Mi8 has. Other differences I don't know but the screen is a big differentiator.

      "According to a new report the Pocophone F1 will launch at around €420 for the 6/64GB model and €460 for the 6/128GB version"

      420 euro translates into $490. I hope its wrong but I got the price from that article.

        Cheapest, so I expect it is below $400 at least.
        But I feel bad for those who bought the Zenfone 5Z already. Just when they thought it already could be as cheap as a SD845-powered device is, this comes at even lower one.

              Is this Mi 8 global version?

                Why can't phone companies release at most 3 phones a year? A budget, a midrange and a high end. What's with all this smartphone over population. A phone is released every week, why?

                      Let's just hope the battery is at least 4000 mAh.

                                This is shaping up to be a great phone. Final competition will be between it and Honor Play. Let's see which is better.
