**** The Official Pocophone F1 Thread ****

What the camera like on this phone up there with a Pixel 2 or Honor View 10?

WHo here really has the eyes sight to tell the difference of 540p over 1080p on a small 6in screen? You would have to have crazy good eye sight and holding the phone right opposite your face to notice it.
Bot that I could stand to watch more than a short YT video on a small screen anyways.

As already stated, its pretty noticeable, the scaling on Android is not amazing.

Arrived today. It’s a great phone. Really seriously good.

The only weird thing is the screen at the bottom. They’ve rounded off the corners like other phones but it is almost like they went too far as it doesn’t match the top and it leaves a really odd looking bottom bezel.

When you get chance can you post up some pics please? I'm seriously tempted by this at £280 via global (128gb) version.

Yea, looking for a red one, though wondering if the other version would be available anywhere.

Received mine from eGlobal. Came with a UK plug. Took about 1 week to receive it. It's very fast, much faster than my Galaxy S8.

New phone from Xiaomi. Looks to be a true flagship killer.

Looks average but Damm cheap

Did you get stung with customs charges at all? I'm really tempted to order one. Should be a nice upgrade from my S6.

No custom charges at all.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Truly awful cellular signal on this phone sadly.

Have you had an OTA to enable the AOSP navbar buttons amongst other things?

 

[Captain]

Waiting for Jerry rig to get hold of one

 

[Sp00n]

Damn that is a painful watch.

 

[silverblack]

I have to turn the sound off on his videos when he does that.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Has anyone received an OTA?

How does the screen on this compare to a phone like the s9? I know the s9 is QHD but does it make that much of a difference?

Depends on how much you care about screen quality. High res well calibrated oled vs lower res, not as well calibrated less bright LCD.

For me the difference would be substantial.

That's what I was worried about. I love the image on my s9+ and I wasn't sure I'd be able to deal with the screen downgrade.

Just got my Poco F1. Truly a gem, a powerhouse and I'm delighted with the camera, screen and over all build. Coming from the higher priced android phones I can honestly say the Samsungs and the likes are simply overpriced glass slabs
