Pocophone F1

[Carbide X]

Hey, I want to hear your opinion on this phone...

Seems like this could kill the oneplus 6

If all you care about is having an SD845 at a low price, then sure. It's a good deal. It's not really in the same league as the OP6 though.

• It has a plastic body
• Likely has a much lower grade of Gorilla Glass
• Cheaper IPS panel
• Camera array isn't as nice
• No NFC
• Doesn't support GALILEO

It won't be a OnePlus killer, since it's not available globally.

Value for money! that thing is going to be sold out for months like the redmi note 4 was! OP6 is just for the hype nowadays!

A Solid one. It's not a flaggship, and never wanted to be one.

This Smartphone focuses purely on max hardware performance / speed at a low Price, and to achieve that, there will be alot of compromises. Dizmo said several things, you will have to live with.

 

Overall: Of those things (like no NFC) aren't a dealbreaker for you.. You can get incredbily good value.

 

But it won't "beat" the OP6, and it won't beat the Mi 8~.

 

Pretty much like the One Plus One back then, when it launched. Flaggship SoC for <279-299€, self-called "flaggship killer". But it didn't kill anything. It had several disadvantages over the "real" flaggships. Worse Camera, worse microphone quality, no SD slot, no water-/dust protection, etc etc. It focused to deliver flaggship-like-performance for a low Price, with probably no/low gain ^^

Thing that i like about this phone is it's SD845 i do not play games on mobile nor do i need nfc it is surely not OP6 killer but  it has the best camera,processor,batterylife at this price point.
An SD845 means it is gonna still be ok at performance after 3 years and that is something i want.
and i got one today in the first sale for about USD284

Indeed ;-)

People who don't need the missing stuff, or don't care about the cons, get a cheap flaggship phone.

So it is supposed to launch globally today. Is anyone getting it in day 1? Or would you rather wait for more reviews to come out?

This phone is already available in my country in stores for 340$. My friend already bought it and says it's great phone. I also agree for price/performance it's the best phone at this moment.
