Android version and market relevance

In the short description of the new smartphone Xiaomi Pocophone F1 we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Xiaomi in August 2018. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Xiaomi Pocophone F1 works on Android 8.1 Oreo and updated to Android 10. And this is very good, we advise you to pay attention to this smartphone and to study its characteristics in more detail.

Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards and the ability to work in 5G networks with a maximum speed of 100 Mb/s. So Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model. The manufacturer could add support for fifth-generation networks to this smartphone, but did not. Perhaps not to raise the price, or for other reasons. If for you the presence of support for 5G networks in a new smartphone is very important, then we recommend that you go to this page in the catalog — all 5G smartphones on Android.

Screen, body and battery

The most important thing you need to know about the case and form factor Xiaomi Pocophone F1. The body is quite compact and the screen occupies almost all of its area from edge to edge (from 80% to 90% of the area of the case). There is a cutout above the screen to take up even more space on the front of the case. As you have seen in the photo, here is the usual rectangular cutout for a selfie camera. On the front side of the case is located huge IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.18″. At the same time, a battery with a capacity of 4 000 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Xiaomi Pocophone F1 got the main camera with multiple modules (dual camera smartphones): 12 MP with a regular lens + 5 MP Depth sensor. And there is also a front camera that has one module: 20 MP Wide. If you judge only by the number of megapixels, then the main camera is very weak. But the frontcamera very good, which will surprise you with its high quality shooting of selfie. It seems that we have already written many times that before buying you need to see a smartphone and hold it in your hands. And speaking about cameras, I would like to repeat the same idea once again — look at the reviews about this model, see examples of photos taken by this smartphone. It often happens that in search of a low price, you buy a model with a camera of tens of megapixels, but the photos and videos will not be of high quality.

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone Xiaomi Pocophone F1 received a 8-core processor Snapdragon 845, RAM 6 GB and built-in memory 64 GB. Also there is support for memory cards microSDXC.

Price for Xiaomi Pocophone F1: buy or not to buy?

If you are looking for a camera phone, then this is not the model that suits you. If you need a smartphone with a huge touch screen, then this is just the real phablet! You can buy! If you are looking for selfie smartphone (smartphone with a very cool front camera for shooting selfie), then this is exactly what you were looking for. Do not pass by Xiaomi Pocophone F1, you should like it.

Let′s step back from the lyrics and talk about money. Selling Xiaomi Pocophone F1 will begin in August 2018 at a price of $390. There are analogues of this model from its price segment “Middle class smartphones from $300 to $400”, you can choose any smartphone for the same money.

We recommend buying a new smartphone only from trusted sellers. And preferably before buying the phone hold in your hand, to feel the dimensions of his hand and look at all of its external signs (build quality and materials). Then turn it on and check the touch screen (there should be no “broken” pixels, color gradient), open several built-in applications to assess the speed and smoothness of the interface. Be sure to launch the “Camera” application and take a few photos and videos, then view them (there should be no artifacts or traces of dust on the lens or glass).
