This one is worse since you cannot take it apart quickly to at least try and save the phone.

Waterproofing a phone is strictly a precaution for thr odd drop inside a sink, toilet etc dobt br fooled thinking you can take it into the sea and have no consiquences

The speaker you make calls with is not loud enough to make the phone sound stereo. It has mono speaker in the bottom that is 5-10 times louder then the call speaker. Basically with a special application you can make any phone to stereo and use the call speaker that wont be loud enough anyways.

[deleted post]Well it's not cause of poor people. It's more as people who can use there money smart and dont throw it away for just to be cool.
And most of the people who have these 500 euro and over phone dont buy the phone out and will leash it for at least 2 years so in the long term they dont pay that 500 but will pay lot more then that. Same with the 1000 plus euro phones in leashing 2-3 years will maka the price for the phone few hundred more for the price tag cause of the tax what you pay for the leash. 40-60 euro a month contracts where you get your call time unlimited and internet access unlimited and everything unlimited cost 10% of the one month pay if even that. I have 7 euro a month contract with 15GB of data and unlimited calls/sms and so on.
I bought out my phone that cost me only 170 euro. I would even buy out on day one that poco phone, but i dont need phone for gaming that needs that powerhouse SD845 cpu.
SD636 is more then enough for my needs.

Is in your part of the world weather so extreme that when it rains the water will be on the ground 1 meters high in 10 seconds ?
I just dont understand that water resistance problem everyone come up with. I have not had any phone with ipxx ratings and none of them have died cause it's raining out side or anything.

Considering the Mi Max 2s has the LTE bands (and even CDMA2000 1xEV-D0) for the states, it's such a missed opportunity that it won't sell/be made for the U.S. as one of the countries in their market. Even for $400, this would bring back the days of the Axon 7 and OnePlus 3 when they were sold for those prices.
I would get it. I don't need NFC and I don't need the camera to be perfect.
Snap 845 + big battery + Stereo Speakers + microSD card + headphone jack + close-to-vanilla Android = most of the stuff I like in a phone.

tpr, 02 Sep 2018Don't get fooled from cpu all other components are mid-rang... morebut no mid-raanger had a SD845 and 6gb of RAM so you should really think again. Despite its plastic back this phone is amazing. The camera is good, it is very fast and has a amazing battery as well as liquid cooling system which all ohter phones do no have at this price point. The only drawback really is that is cannot stream Netflix or Amamzon in HD but if that does not concern you then this a GREAT phone.

tpr, 02 Sep 2018Don't get fooled from cpu all other components are mid-rang... moreUFS storage? LDRR4X memory? Same camera sensor as Mi 8, Mi Mix 2S, Zenfone 5z, vivo NEX S? Same infrared scanner as Mi 8 (who more has this?). Oh but the screen isn't AMOLED......yes, it's not because it's a $300 phone and at least is a very good IPS quality display (LG and ASUS use IPS, Sony used until now, etc.). People loves to cry.

Anonymous, 02 Sep 2018Yeah but zenfone 5z doesn't have Drm widevine L1 support too.Actually it does have L1 support. I have no idea why poco f1 doesn't but honestly I don't watch netflix movies on a tiny screen so I don't care too much. I have the phone and battery life alone is amazing.

Anonymous, 02 Sep 2018To call this pocophone as a flagship, that maybe too much. ... moreHonestly, polycarbonate back is better than glass in my opinion.. less slippery, easier to clean... note 3 and 4 faux leather is good too.
