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.

    Guys.. negative opinions are just from trolls or from people dropping their phones every second... I have about 20 phones... last 10 from 2018...well able to compare in practice. This phone is awsome for all aspects. Cpu, gpu all good, screen is doing great and camera has also done great jobs for me. Miui doing well, no screen bleeding and no lag at all. For the price it is still the best on the market today. All the negative opinions are not about this phone...

      What do we get in the box?
      The phone, Charger, cable, cover. What about the earphone?

                  mr.cool, 21 Oct 2018This phone is actually good overall, but the screen delay i... moreIf you're using a 3rd party launcher i.e Nova Launcher, you need to go Settings/Additional settings/Accessibility and turn Nova Launcher on. This will stop the lag.

                    Mine doesn't show any latency, sometimes in FIFA it doesn't register the swipe input but that has been the error on FIFA's side as it occurs on 3 different handsets from 3 different manufacturers that i tested one of them being LG G5 and other being Samsung Galaxy S8 plus......

                      This phone is actually good overall, but the screen delay is true, i think this is because of the MIUI rom
                      This heavily modded android rom is so bad in ram management, interface lag, even keyboard slightly lag when typing
                      I'm sure it will be better in next miui update but not totally fixed, i believe the only solution for all of these is custom pure android or aosp rom, but the dev now stuck in the IR face unlock not working
                      Also the fingerprint is always on, it is impossible to turn off even you don't set any fingerprint, the screen will turn on whenever you touch it, this MIUI rom on pocophone is the worst rom i ever had in my whole life, good hardware but shit software
                      So the slogan Master of Speed is 100% bullshit
