I'm in the dilemma of buying a mobile phone between the Samsung A50 6/128 GB or the Xiaomi Poco F1 6/64 GB. Only for real and honest answers.

Maybe after 8 months, you can say not worth it because there are newer model such as Mi9, but it is definitely worth it when it is first launched.

This phone as compare to other phones are best in some of the features which cannot be compared at all. however this phone has some inbuilt problems which cannot be ignored. For at a price point of 28k this phone is not worth i believe only the memory of the phone is increase rest there is no difference in the 16k and 28 k phone.

In my country, due to stupid taxes this phone and mi 8 are same price. My two main priorities are video recording and battery life. Mi 8 has OIS so it is supposed to be better but people say with gcam pocophone is great. Do you think I should buy poco because it has better battery with expendable storage? On the other hand Mi 8 has amoled display... I'm so confused. Any suggestions pls?

The clear answer of course it is not free to implement.
Bigger picture is there is poor standardization on 4G band.

Open all LTE band at no cost? I don't think this is the case.
Clearly extra cost is added to fit in more workable LTE band, meaning add in more LTE modem.
It is seemless to add, as it is already a wafer level chip kind of modem, but it is not free of charge.

I don't get how some people complain about this beast, I've been using it for 4 months now and no issues at all, playing PUBG at smooth and extreme settings and battery life is outstanding, great camera ( use Gcam) and edit videos, play for 4 or 5 hours straight without a hiccup, call quality is great, for me Xiaomi destroyed the mid-range segment with this awesome phone and notice that I bought it for 420 dollars in my country not 300 and still this is the best value for money smartphone.I can buy any flagship smartphone but I just don't see why when this phone exists.

Stewdza, 30 Apr 2019Update 10.3.4 is not pushed OTA probably because it has a l... moreDepend how you define it as bugs or as an annoying UI implementation.
I have updated to MIUI 10.3.4.0 for more than 1 month, I don't encounter any bugs, but that is just for me.
For here, I list down some of the thing that might get annoyed, but not exactly are bugs.
1. Notification Icon. This one being one of the most elaborated issue, there is no permanent notification icon on the latest MIUI. The icon is there on the top left, but just flashed for a few second then it gone forever. From my past usage from 7 months, I get used to it, that it, not a big issue for me, but need extra step to swipe down to view the full notification. Also need to swipe down to view if the phone is on fast charging, and also GPS.
2. Ghost sensitive touch. After much reading on internet, this is related to the default keyboard of Pocophone F1. I use Swipe as my keyboard apps, just need to change the keyboard size bigger then have less issue on this.
3. Loose touch while gaming. I read that this is something to do if you playing game while charging. It is an electrostatic issue which will cause miss fire or miss navigate while playing PUBG. Don't charge the phone while gaming is the way to go, or buying a high quality charger and type C cable that has good grounding will solve the issue. As the default screen glass is not oleophobic, meaning it is not very smooth if you swipe on the screen, sticking a good quality screen protector also help to reduce this effect.
4. Screen bleed. My unit actually has very small screen bleed, but I get used to it as it is rarely seen at the bottom of the screen. It is an issue with low quality LCD, which I seen a lot on Xiaomi device especially on the Redmi series. I get used to it as well, it doesn't affect any of the functionality.
5. Notch hiding feature. It does come back on MIUI 10.3.4.0, but is not the way it hide the notch as from Android 8.0. It doesn't filled with black bars, but it directly shrink the whole screen. I get used to have notch anyway, doesn't bother much to me as well.
All in all, it does depend on personal level where you whether like the way the MIUI behave or just hate it because it doesn't behave as what you expected.
I just seen this as a cheap high end phone that lack on NFC, but it doesn't compromise on functionality. On latest MIUI 10.3.4.0, the much anticipated Widevine L1 support is finally here, where you can finally stream Netflix in HD on Pocophone F1.
For those who do not receive OTA update want the update, the update package is at official MIUI website, need to download manually and update manually.

Padmashantha, 29 Apr 2019Hi Guys,
Does the xiaomi has paused the MIUI 10.3 update f... moreThey didn't stop the 10.3.4.0 MIUI updates, but for some region, there are issues via OTA updates.
You can visit their official english version of MIUI website and download the update package from there, then learn how to manually update it.
At system update page, you need to tap the MIUI 10 logo for 10 times, so that you have the "Choose Update Package" option selectable for doing the manual updates.

Update 10.3.4 is not pushed OTA probably because it has a lot of bugs. Again, MIUI cannot be bug free. Xiaomi can be No1 if they fix annoying software.

Anonymous, 28 Apr 2019Would it be so hard for Xiaomi to add IR face unlock to Europe?You need to change your phone region to other country to make it works. Suggest India? China?

Even Samsung also didn't open all the bands, you only get the region specific version that support that region band.
So, a Samsung phone that work properly in the US might not work at other country.
At US, you better stick to the Oneplus brand that is intended for the US market.
However, the Pocophone F1 that is intended for it's target market and region do work perfectly.
