Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Review

Score: 85.5 / 100

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is a brilliantly built cellphone launched in August 2018, equipped with a really big 6.2-inches screen, a 2.8 gigahertz Octa-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 12 MP back side camera and a 20 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Xiaomi decided to power this device using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SDM845 system chip, including a very fast Octa-Core CPU running at 2.8 gigahertz and a big 8 GB RAM. A key aspect of the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is the 256 GB astonishing internal storage and an external memory slot, which allows the user to install tons of applications, games, songs, photos and videos without worrying about filling the cellphone.

This phone is a bit heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 6.35 ounces. This phone is just 0.35" thick, making its way into the thinnest cellphones podium. This phone is quite a compact phone, considering it packs a 6.2" display and it only has 6.12" long. Talking about its construction quality, this phone is mainly made with Plastic . Xiaomi is offering this phone in 3 different colors: black, blue and red.

Xiaomi equipped the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 with an awesome 6.2" display, and a resolution of 1080 x 2246 , providing this phone with a unique image quality.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 12 megapixels back facing camera and a 20 megapixels front-facing camera. Its back facing camera has a maximum F1.9 aperture so it can take awesome photos even in low light situations. It is also able to film videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 60 fps, and slow-motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) up to 240 frames per second. Additionally, this phone's camera also has time lapse video.

The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 uses a big capacity 4000 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery providing this phone a great battery life. An issue to consider is that the Xiaomi Pocophone F1's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with such a big battery you will probably buy a new phone before it happens.

The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 features Wi-Fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A (4G) , a really fast data connection and also HSPA+ data connection (which is a lower speed 4G network) and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also includes a great numbre of useful characteristics as Biometric fingerprint, Facial recognition biometrics, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is being sold for $ 415, quite high for comparing with similar phones. This phone is definitely the correct option it doesn't matter whether you are an amateur photographer, are looking for a gamer phone, want it mostly for social networks or want a work phone.
