12 December 2021
It was the cheapest phones with a Snapdragon 845 chipset and still one of the cheapest to use Qualcomm's current flagship chip.

Actually it supports 60 fps for fhd and 4k

    TheWildShadow55, 13 Dec 2021That's entirely false, almost everyone I know can noti... moreIt Is objectively true that majority of people have no idea what 60hz mean

    It's also objectively true that video media is still dominated by 30fps

    Not sure how you say my statements are ENTIRELY false

    All you did was give some anecdotal samples from "people" you know

    Almost like an echoe chamber or bubble

    When the masses have no idea what's going on and even if they can see the difference chances are they are not using consuming any content above 60hz

            Poco F1 is a good phone for the price but the first real flagship killer from Xiaomi is K20 pro, hands down.

                    Yeah, this phone was a legend, and still it is. And you haven't even mentioned the Infrared face scanner, which is of course not a faceID, so still 2D, but it could scan your face in every light condition, even from 2 meters away, which was better than the selfie camera face scanning what companies are using even today. And only 3 Xiaomi phones had this feature. So the notch wasn't there for nothing

                                    I've been using this phone since 2018 and it's amazing.
                                    But in the last few months, i faced a lot of software problems.
                                    Are we having the 12.5 update?
                                    And what do you think about custom Roms for it?

                                        3 years later, this phone is snappy and the battery surprisingly didn't degrade a lot. Best ever purchase at 19600₹. The custom ROM and Gcam support is fabulous. Recent got Poco F3( mi 11x) for dad and I don't seem like missing out a lot with newer phones. Maybe a tad faster.
