Pocophone F1 Review: Un poco loco!

[@gadgetmatch]

Is the Pocophone F1 the new flagship killer?

[@waltertraum8795]

Yeah, Cause most of the phones cost about 530$-700$ with a snapdragon of 800+. But this is just 300$ so its worth it.

[@bithigamer]

bryan jay bautista The camera of pocophone f1 is almost as good as one plus 6....and one plus 6 is priced 500+ dollar where as pocophone f1 is just 300 dollar....so, obviously pocophone f1 is just way way better than one plus 6 considering the price....

[@redskitter]

In the price point, Clearly the Poco phone is the winner here than OP6. The camera quality of Poco phone is good as well.

[@brytolete6658]

Yes this one is definitely a great phone for it's price of $300, but the Note 9 being a $1000 isn't because of it's processor alone, note 9 have the best and priciest screen which doesn't have a freakin notch, IP68, a gimmicky Bluetooth self charging pen, and a water carbon cooling system to prevent thermal throttling of that powerful 845.
