Xiaomi Pocophone F1 128GB Graphite Black, Dual Sim, 6GB RAM, Dual Camera, 6.18, GSM Unlocked Global Model, No Warranty

I'm always looking to do better than " you get what you pay for " and i usually end up disappointed. Not this time. This really is a $500 or $600 phone for only $300. I was never really happy with the performance of my LG V20 (snapdragon 820) in that it didn't open programs as quickly or play games as smoothly as i was expecting it to when i upgraded from a budget phone (snapdragon 430 4gb ram) about 8 months ago. I know, I know, the V20 came out in 2016 but i can't afford flagship phone prices so i waited for the price to drop heavily and found a brand now one for a little over $300. The jump in performance with this Poco f1 and its snapdragon 845 and 6gb ram is better than the improvement I got leaving my budget phone for the V20. If a game took 20 to 25 seconds to open and load on the V20 it takes 8 to 12 seconds on the Poco. Google Maps, Google Earth and any other processor demanding apps like VR happen pretty much instantly. Where as the V20 would stutter and freeze and get pretty warm and the battery would drain rapidly under heavy load the Poco doesn't even break a sweat. As for the OS that Xiaomi sticks on top of andriod that you read so many people complain about; just ignore them. The differences between it and stock android will require very little adjusting by the User and the added features are smartly thought out and welcome. I'll close with just one of many examples of the quality and performance of this phone by saying that I was sure that in terms of music quality I would be taking a step down because of the V20's highly cited 4 x DAC and all the hype that came with it. Wrong!!! The speaker phone is louder, and most importantly to me, the headphone performance is excellent. Its actually measurably better than the V 20 and 3 to 4 times the # of user adjust-ability options to make the most of it. I no longer even bother with connecting my headphone amp because its really that good all on its own. I was not expecting that at all!!! Of course if your phone company isn't using the radio bands this phone is made for then that is a major problem but in San Diego on the Cricket wireless network I get LTE and 4G nearly all the time and nothing less than 4G at anytime. If your area carrier supports this phone then I highly recommend it. Best Value to $$$ on the market by far and better than my highest hopes going in. I hope this review helps.

Note 9, New iPhone, galaxy s9? What are those again. Oh yea phone that cost like $1000 and this phone has all they offer. Like no battery for a phone means u can't use it so even the best phone ever built if it does on you quickly is no use to u at all and this phone lasts me all day even tho I use it heavily. Did I mention the new Snapdragon 845 that this premium phones have is in this phone. Throwing My top games and this chip barely flinches. At this price like what else do u even need from a phone? Screen looks Crispy clear. Only Test I need to do is Signal Wize but that can't be fair since carriers are inconsistent with signal so I'll leave that to experts to rate. Anyways why wasn't so much money on a phone that's only going to last u like 2 years top. People have not realized that Battery lifespan is on average tops 2years. All phones cannot have the battery replaced by the user unless you have super phone powers and know what you are doing. So in two years you need a new phone so why pay 3 times what u already have. Until phones can have their batteries swapped by user don't care how long a phone is going to last since all phone now have a ticking time limit based on the battery. Quick math 1000$ at 2 years phones drop to about 450$ take in the insurance you are paying for an additional 360$ plus the deductible for having your phone serviced for a new battery u are left at this price point of the phone worth 350 or less. Just saying

I just bought this phone as a backup for my OnePlus 6T and wasn't really expecting much from it. But to my surprise, I'm really impressed with how this phone performs. It's very fast, the camera is really good (for a $300 phone), the battery lasts me the whole day, is has the latest version of Android (Android Pie), and it has a headphone jack and a micro sd slot!!Some of the things I didn't like were the stock launcher and the apps that came pre-installed on the phone. I had to download a third-party app to make my experience better, which is normally what I do with Android phones anyway, and had to manually disable/uninstall whatever pre-installed apps I didn't find useful.Another concern I had with the phone was the bands it had for LTE connectivity. I read online that it would really be hard to get LTE here in the US because it doesn't support the LTE bands that the USA uses. I am on AT&T, and I'm very glad to let you guys know that I get 4G with no problems! I live in Southern CA, so I can't really speak for other people from other states, but so far, I'm really loving this phone. :)

Read and watched endless reviews on this one. My decision was between the F1 and One 6T. Awesome battery life. Fairly snappy even with the MUI bloatwear. It's an overall good phone... However, in the US cell signal is spotty (ATT is really your only choice for moderate coverage). It's rare that I get 4G/LTE inside a building, even my own home. I live in Indianapolis, and still have spotty signal. For $300+ its a great phone. But when you actually hold it side by side with a premium phone... You know it's not a flagship killer. Also the MUI has a really quarky way about itself. After a while, I begin to miss my Galaxy phone... Lesser screen, limited adjustments of features in used before, and obviously the uncertainty of having service when needed. I don't miss the $800 price of the premium phones tho. Probably should have spent a few extra hundred dollars and got the One 6T, which will probably be happening here in the next month or two. Very good phone... I just don't love it.

No entiendo por que Xiaomi hace esto ? Esta versión que vende Amazon es la versión GLOBAL del POCOPHONE, hasta la caja viene en español y si hasta el cubo cargador es americano peroooooo Xiaomi manda los equipos con las BANDAS 2 & 4 de LTE que funcionan en México BLOQUEADAS, osea es una versión global y se vende en el mercado Mexicano de MANERA LEGAL con las bandas bloqueadas ? Dirán que es imposible pero el procesador Snapdragon 845 viene con todas las bandas libres de fabrica, el hermano de POCOPHONE es el XIAOMI MI 8 con el mismo procesador y ese si que viene desbloqueado de todas las bandas, no entiendo esto en la versión Global de su equipo para venderlo en AMERICA DE MANERA LEGAL BLOQUEADO DE BANDAS. El teléfono te podrá marcar 4G pero es un falso 4G en realidad es H+, mucho ojo.

Es un gran teléfono si sabes lo que trae dentro. El envío llegó al día siguiente de la compra y, AL MENOS EN LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, sí agarra perfecto la red 4G LTE de Telcel (les dejo pruebas de velocidad en las fotos) no he tenido oportunidad de probarlo con otras compañías.El único "gran" problema que le encuentro es el tema de las notificaciones que en tantos chats se ha hablado. Pero si no te molesta utilizar un poco de sus 128 Gb de ROM, se soluciona con apps de terceros. (Xiaomi ya trabaja en la solución BTW)

Durante muchos años he sido usuario de Apple y siempre he tenido Iphone (si ya se que insufrible) sin embargo con la salida del X y ahora el XS (nombre ridículo por cierto) decidí que era momento de abandonar el barco.Como siempre me puse a leer que Android tenía mejores prestaciones y mejor relación calidad/precio, en principio iba a ir por un Samsung gama media, sin embargo, me topé con Xaomi, compañía poco conocida pero que poco a poco va ganando seguidores.Para no hacer el cuento largo este dispositivo es una animal, en esencia tiene los mismos componentes internos que un Galaxy S9 por una fracción del costo, lo único que no tiene parecido es la pantalla y la cámara, aun así la calidad de la imagen es muy buena, adicionalmente Xiaomi hace liberaciones constantes de software para optimizar el dispositivo.

Vi muchos reviews antes de comprar el teléfono, es lo mas cercano a una gama alta a un precio bastante bueno, no te mienten, muy buen hardware, el diseño es muy bonito, si tiene material plástico la parte trasera no como los de gama alta pero no le quita puntos al teléfono.Tenía dudas acerca de la red 4G e hice un test de velocidad y la verdad le fue bastante bien con red Telcel en Monterrey.Los únicos detalles que de manera personal puedo tener (pero son más cuestiones de gusto), son el MIUI no me agrada el launcher prefiero Google Now y las notificaciones no se visualizan fácilmente, de ahí en fuera es un teléfono muy fluído, la cámara me encantó, tanto frontal como principal, no me arrepiento de la compra, les agrego fotos y mi compra fue con RedSun.

El teléfono tiene el rendimiento muy potente al grado de superar al galaxy s9 de samsungy en efecto ni con movistar ni con At&t esperemos que en futuras actualizaciones de parte de estas compañías telefonicas (Con telcel no probe)Le pongo 5 estrellas por que es exactamente lo que describe
