JoJo Gelato, 04 Sep 2018u mean competitors at the same price point right?No, if you compare to other flagships. The next best option is Mi 8 and one+ 6.

This phone is basically a paperwe... moreCome on man, who the hell uses NFC everywhere, never used to make payments even I have it, it's like 1 percent of people using that NFC for payments, it is definitely not a deal breaker. More worrying is that it does not have L1 streaming license so you can't stream HD quality videos on apps like Netflix or other major streaming sites, except YouTube. But again I would not mind, cause I don't stream Netflix on my phone so many people too. I guess for asking price it does not have weaknesses

Say, GSMArena: supposedly, having the SD845 means the Pocophone has Camera2API support. In other words, it should be able to use the Google Camera ports without even needing root.
Would it be possible for you guys to update the Pocophone's review (or better yet, create a new article) with a blind camera test between Pocophone's stock app and a Google Camera port (most likely, the latest recommended Arnova8G2 one)?

Nobody cares about you, dude. No one's gonna steal your "personal information". And important people aren't gonna purchase a $300 Chinese phone so no worries there either.

Mid range price???
Dont get me wrong but A8 plus made by samsung was also midranger and brand new had price of 550 euros.
A6 had a brand new price of 380 euros and had SD450.
This is a whole new level and era whats xiaomi doing.
There is nothing like Poco to be compared maybe only by Poco 2 F2 nothing else.

1000$€ have no headphones jack, no sd card slot, no stereo speakers, less than 4000mah batteries, fragiles ,dirty and full scratches because made of glass. No fast charging support after 1 year ( samsung galaxy).
Why I should pay 700$ more just to show off that I bought a brand who just scam them customers.
Wake up people.
Pocophone F1 is the revolution people waiting for so long.
Best bang for your buck in a long while.

anomi, 02 Sep 2018well it fell on a mini table... about knee height and well ... moreFeel sorry for you. But this things can happen and they are not always manufacturers fault.
I mean, sometimes is just bad luck really.
I can say for example that Samsung phones are good build, because I dropped one of my past phones (Samsung A6 2016 just small bumper, without case) from ear height directly on concrete and nothing happen to it, just few scratches. But, all of my friends had problems with Samsung devices being too fragile. So, is about luck in the end.
But, probably Poco F1 is made from cheaper materials, otherwise I can't see them keeping this low price.

I wouldn't say I love the Poco F1 but it doesn't break the bank. There really shouldn't be any hatred for it unless you love throwing away $1000+ for glass backed, jack-less smartphones every six months.
I haven't seen a $299 deal for a flagship SoC since the OnePlus One back in 2014. Can't count the Essential Phone since that was released a year ago. Kudos to Xiaomi for offering something I haven't seen in 4 years.
$299
2012 - Nexus 4
2013 - Nexus 5, Xiaomi Mi 3
2014 - OnePlus One
2018 - Xiaomi Poco F1
