Pocophone F1 teardown: a closer look at the 'LiquidCool' heatpipe and the face scanner

28 August 2018
The Poco appears solidly built with many screws holding it together and it looks surprisingly easy to repair.

The big reason why there is a company like this that offer flagship-like with budget pricing is because they have paying very little with their employees, so meaning if you bought or considering of buying their product, you actually supporting a cheap laboring. We shouldn't tolerate it and stop buying cheap phones because there might be something behind it or story. Keep on buying from top brands like Apple and Samsung is showing your kindness or at least you distance yourself from such kind of practices.

                Well xiaomi proven that others so called flagships have nothing extra which cost 500-700+ bucks because the speed of the device is literrary same.

                              Can't wait until Agent 47 gets his hands on it. Then we can see how Jerry compares the Poco to the OnePlus 6.

                              PS I wonder if the Poco will get as good or better community support than OnePlus 6 or Pixel 3XL.

My Redmi Note 4 display got damaged, to replace it, the entire phone had to be ripped apart. I guess it will be similar for Poco. After all the tearing shown, you will need to follow few more steps to get the display changed. Manual ripping never competes with factory assembly so good luck with that.
