Someone Else, 22 Aug 2018There's probably some drawback to meet this insanely cheap ... moreI've been using cheap Redmi phones since the first note. Used 4 of those, and only the original note 1 had display problems. And no problems with battery whatsoever. Seems like they only cut cost on the building materials, not on internals. Or else they wouldn't have put ufs storage.
Only thing I'm concerned about is flash sale.

Declining sales and poor fat design speaks a lot for itself.

zillion, 22 Aug 2018Wow, xiaomi.. U really insane! U want flagship category u h... moreThere's probably some drawback to meet this insanely cheap price. I'm guessing that the camera quality will took a hit (really doubt it'll match the Mi 8), audio capabilities won't be amazing, the display will probably plague with image retention (very common on a Xiaomi phone), plastic rear back, the battery probably won't hold it's capacity after some months of usage (very common practice with cheap phones from oppo and vivo, so I'm guessing the pocophone will have it as well) and outdated design have to be in place in order to achieve the $300 price tag. Again, that's just my guess. We'll see soon enough with gsmarena's review.
But hey, if people wanted a cheap powerful phone and not caring about anything else, this phone is perfect for them. But you have to add about $100 for import fees though, since there wasn't any mention of a global release.

Sure keep telling yourself that. Everyone knows the company you're fanboying for is overrated AF but yeah good luck with your "modern premium" stupid product that lacks functionality
BTW I'm not a xiaomi fan but I respect their efforts

I like the way xiaomi creating a competitive market for value for money smartphones, like the way Jio did in Telekom industry in India.

SD845 (dual VoLTE), 4K battery (fast charge), USB C, IR unlocking, 6gb Ram, card slot (although non dedicated), good cams,,,all for INR 21k ($300) is Mind blowing -No less!!
But i prefer phs with some more width ~80mm.

TheTruth, 22 Aug 2018This guy is so salty, can you imagine the hate that xiaomi ... moreShiny (metal+glass) premium quality materials, modern = notched design plus number one camera in business are enough arguments for me to pay $1k. And I'm pretty sure that the only good thing in this PocoF*** will be chipset. Everything else must be a crappy crap. There is no other way to justify such a low price tag :).

Whackcar, 22 Aug 2018Here are 2 big reasons why this phone is not a good buy.
... moreEven one more thing. No gorilla glass version is mentioned dont know why.
These phones are cheap chinese phones which are not durable at all. Plastics can easily bend i hope this phone stands on jerryrig durability test.
I personally think 21,000-25,000 phone should be durable as of 2018 lineup it should be metal.
Under INR 15000, if there is plastic its bearable
