Pocophone F1 by Xiaomi review

22 August 2018
Xiaomi's announcements have been relatively predictable so far, but the introduction of a new Poco sub-brand was a surprising move. It sounds like a marketing experiment - deliver flagship specs at cutthroat prices. Sound familiar? Well, it does remind of how OnePlus came to be, but we're not sure the new Pocophone F1 is headed in the same direction. Poco is still just a brand, and not a separate company and they stand on the shoulders of Xiaomi's logistics and after sales support network.

He will tell you about it.

Unfortunately I don't have his number or email.

    SRD, 28 Aug 2018Does it support VOLTENo it doesn't support VOLTE.

    Please use some common sense. How can VOLTE be left out from a phone that is claimed to be a 'flagship killer'? Can't you read and understand the specs ?

    Except NFC most of the stuff is available.

      KadoPT, 28 Aug 2018The lack of NFC is a deal breaker for me unfortunately...You are aware that you do not need NFC to withdraw money from your ATM machine?

        Vic4BBM, 22 Aug 2018Now truely this is a flagship killer, if we look at price v... moreHello everybody keep saying the price, the price, hey look at the price!,.. actuality the price is not that good. The global version price tag is half a thousand not three hundred bucks has been printed over and over and over again @300 bucks. Which in actually reality is half a thousand bucks for global Pocophone with no Pocostick Case. When is the Pocostick phone case coming out?

                          Just check for Zenfone 2 deluxe Special Edition (Carbon Back)
                          . . . even that added red-deco appears here.

                          Shaomi shamelessly copied all that from ASUS.
                          and a lot of other things, specs and so on.

                            Flagships usually coming with global coverage . . .
                            but not POCO!
                            Radio coverage is just very poor,
                            has nothing to do with a flagship PHONE!

                                  Does the Camera has a Pro Mode to shoot in RAW? Or can you take DNG Pictures with other Camera Apps?
