The asymmetry I'm referring to is not the area covered by the top and bottom bezels but rather the geometry of the display when the notch is turned off (4 rounded corners for Play, 2 sharp and 2 rounded corners for F1). Though I actually love the idea of the screen on the notch area being used for notifications, battery, time, etc.

AnonD-778465, 03 Sep 2018Thanks for the reply. As I have said I am not supporter or ... moreI haven't done my research on the SAR values but I've seen someone say it's within normal limits for the Pocophone F1 at least. And this bad reputation about Chinese manufacturers is what bugs me and makes me hesitant about getting this phone (currently have my 3 yearold Xperia Z1). I've seen a lot of reviewers praise the Pocophone F1 for it's built quality and "feel in the hand" and so far only one Indian YouTuber drop tested it where the screen cracked at pocket-height.. (yes I've seen the video) maybe a tempered glass screen protector and a case would prevent such things but I wouldn't know for sure...
Right now I'm waiting for a couple more reliable and widely known YouTubers to review this device, namely Unbox Therapy and JerryRigEverything who does durability tests and teardown videos which would be really interesting.

And the point of my reply was that even if you turn the notch off on Honor Play the screen will also be asymmetrical.. But if you hate notches so much then just stay away from these phones.

Yes, currently I am using few Samsung Galaxy Devices. And anyone who can ask me questions about them I say the truth. Buy still I say them to take a real demo before buy, because ultimately it is their choice and needs, not mine.
As for Mi or any Chinese devices. I agree that they offer performance, cheaper and have better specs. But again they have some own issues like build quality, high SAR vaule, reliability etc. But still can be value for money if you have specific needs.
As for my history here I was very active in J7 prime 1 with same name untill they removed the Google log in. And I lost my old logs. Currently I am on the J7 Prime 2 as main reviewer.

4nnr, 03 Sep 2018Honor Play also has rounded bottom corners. Yes it does. The F1's more rounded corners than the Play's is just a nitpick, I guess. Though I think it's already decided that Play does better on build and display.
But the more pressing issue (for me, at least) is the asymmetry when the notch is turned off. Is there a way around it? A solution to this would clear my confusion on which device to buy. Thanks again.

As f... moreIt sounded like you're a bit biased on Sammy's side when you mentioned cardslots, as for the screen I really don't see it an issue, all people use a screen protector and most use a case especially when you have a glass back phone, so in most cases you want some kind of protection on whatever phone you have.
And I apologize if I sounded angry/rude, I've been seeing a lot of misinformation on here by Anonymous trolls with no account.

I am sure about the hybrid slot of F1, by mistake I mentioned about A8. It was not intended to. thanks for correcting me.
Last but not least I am not saying anyone to buy this or don't buy that. It is your money, you have the right to buy a reliable device or a garbage depending on your will. I can't stop you. Buy if you ask me for advice, I will give it based on the facts and proofs. No bias against anyone.

Anonymous, 03 Sep 2018Really can't believe the opinions/comments/ here. Sometimes... moreMost of the people who answers are real normal users. They are not against any company or work with any company. As for me, I am also not against Mi, but I closely followed the real authentic users, blogs, forum for info about the products of Mi. I remember about the Mi Note 4 which has massive heating issue and screen issue by e-commerce sites and adviced people here also about that. A few months back I almost bought the MiA1 which was a attractive android device for me. I did a demo but at last minute I cancelled is because it has a unique cheater port. And that is god's way to help me. Yesterday I found this article where they mentioned the SAR limit of some of the devices and guess what? MiA1 topped the list.
https://www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2018/03/01/which-smartphones-emit-the-most-radiation-infographic/amp/?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCCAE%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fniallmccarthy%2F2018%2F03%2F01%2Fwhich-smartphones-emit-the-most-radiation-infographic%2F
So, I always talked from solid proofs. And if you are saying that this device is good, then you must own it as a normal user and then say it. Don't say it is good because everyone is saying so.

AnonD-778465, 03 Sep 2018You take the best decision. A8 is a full package and you ca... moreYou sound like a dumb Samsung fanboy. Do some research before spreading wrong information, the F1 does stream full HD videos in YouTube and such, it's just with Hulu and Netflix where it supports 540p max. Not to mention a lot of other phones are like this too. Also you're comparing it with A8 Star saying "no proper 3 slots"... Both Pocophone F1 and A8 Star have hybrid dual sim and takes SIM2 slot, and the Pocophone comes with 128gb and 256gb internal storage variants and more ram. The actual frame of the phone is quite good and sturdy but the screen cracks if you're not using a tempered glass panel (which everyone does, no phone is completely shatter proof) go watch some reviews on YouTube. And who even uses NFC anymore? There are tons of third-party files sharing apps on the Play Store..
I feel like a lot of you fanboy are just trying to find flaws in this phone to talk shit about it and feel good about your 5 year-old devices. This phone right here is the best value for money right now. Period.
