      I have readed all the comments and on a serious note i have noted mostly people (90%) are going to vote pocophone coz they thinks its a flagship mobile at a cheap price so the crown and the ground is of and for pocophone (lol).For instead i am comparing pocophone f1 with asus rog phone and thinking both have same chipset sd845 one is at $400+ and second is at a price point of $1000+ so i am saving at least $600 wow! I have got a sd845 phone at $400.So if your picking pocophone for this reason then go sit in a room alone and think for some time that if both the mobile mention above have same chiset then why why...? Asus rog leaves pocophone behined in dust when we talk about perfomance and in all other spec. In short pocophone is not a flagship in a lower price point.So be awake,beware.Choose wisely and be happy coz 25-12-18 is at our heads.Dum dum love love have a nice life

          Where's Redmi Note 5 & 6 Pro?

            Alien , 11 Dec 2018In India maybe. But in Europe and USA nobody buys it. Very ... moreIn US and Europe, carriers give the iPhones and Notes and S9s at subsidized prices with 2 year EMI option but in India carriers don't subsidize phones and do not provide EMI option nor do they provide easy upgrade options by trading in older models(like US has for iphones ).... So people buy unlocked phones at full retail price..... Take that into factor and you will see not a lot of people would be ready to buy 1000$ phones if it were not for the Carrier subsidies even in US and Europe....

              LIRKER, 10 Dec 2018I don't know why many people considered Poco phone as flags... moreF1 is the best Pocofone has manufactured yet so it's their flagship.... It has many bells and whistles of a top end phone, It has SD845, 6/8 Gig RAM, UFS 2.1 storage, 1080P IPS panel, Dual cam with AI and an infrared face unlock option (rarely found on android flagships), Gorilla Glass 4, comes with 4000 mAh battery coupled with Quick charge 4 and the quick charge adapter included in the box ... And importantly has expandable storage, 3.5 mm jack which is not available on Google and Apple flagships....

              So lack of AMOLED or plastic body can't make it any less flagship than others as no phone on the list can beat its value.....

                  MARKOKOX, 10 Dec 2018POCOPHONE F1 is the phone of the year everyone agry with th... moreIn India maybe. But in Europe and USA nobody buys it. Very few people buy chinese brands here. Just older people who don't have a clue about technology and teenagers who can't yet afford a high-end flagship.
                  The big money comes from Europe and USA, not from India (even though it has a huge population).
                  Note 9, S9+ and Sony XZ3 are the top 3 devices. I would add Pixel 3 there, but no SD card slot makers it very unappealing to me.

                      so BlackBerry Key2 does not fall in any category? I saw the LE was expecting the Key2 too in the midrangers.

                                So, F1 is Pocophone's Flagship.

                                    Generally with the best of everything they can fit into it, and the newest and improved features.

                                    F1 is a cheap phone with a great processor, not a flagship.

                                      AnonD-558092, 10 Dec 2018It's s till very early to say, but pretty much all the effo... moreThis is very true. Somehow Apple's regulation-heavy approach has worked much better than Android's libertarian approach, at least when it comes to App performance, App quality, and Revenue generated by Apps.

                                      Somehow, I still do not understand how the iPhone is the most popular phone in the world, where its owners are generally wealthy, also has this quite optimised Operating System, and a decently optimised Code Language (ie/ not Java-VM), has the fastest storage system on a phone, and the fastest processor on the market by a wide-margin nonetheless.

                                      ....yet despite all of those major advantages, its puzzling to note that Emulation isn't a big deal. By my napkin-maths, the latest iPhones should be able to emulate the things you can't currently on Android (DS, PS2, WiiU, Switch). Yet, instead we barely find emulation beyond the N64/PS1. It's like the developers have an allergy to it.

                                      So for me, I'm going to go the route of a dedicated Windows10 Machine in my living room to get the most out of the benefits of a full-desktop functionality hooked up to my TV.
