Grab your POCO F1 today

Up your sleeves at 12 noon today. The flash sale to get the POCO F1 starts. I'm sure most of us have read a lot about the phone however, for the ones who are here to know more about the phone and how it compares with other phones, I'm here writing this blog to help to know everything before you try to get the phone.

Well, by now we all know that it isn't easy to get a Xiaomi phone in their flash sale, but everyone will surely try their luck. Lets know more about the POCOPHONE. Its a sub brand of Xiaomi. The POCO F1 is powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset with Adreno 630 GPU. It comes in three variants: 6GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB & 8GB/256GB RAM/Internal storage. It also supports microSD cards up to 256GB. It has a dual camera setup with primary 12MP with f/1.9 aperture & secondary 5MP f/2.0 aperture (serves as depth sensor). The rear camera setup can record 2170p/30fps, 1080p/240 fps slow motion. At the front it has a 20MP f/2.0 aperture which is capable of recording 1080p/30fps videos. It gets a 4000 mAh Li-Po battery and I bet it will do the job well. The POCO F1 comes with the MIUI 9.5 a custom overlay for POCO F1 over Android 8.1 Oreo. These days the above mentioned specifications are pretty much standard for flagship phones, but what makes the POCO F1 the talk of the Town is it's price. Here you go. Refer to the image below.

So, do we really have any other smartphone that really comes close? Well, the OnePlus 6 does with slightly higher price. The OnePlus 6 comes with similar internals & similar variants 6GB/64GB for Rs 34,999, 8GB/128GB for Rs 39,999 & 8GB/256GB for Rs 43,999 though with superior dual camera setup.

It has a dual camera setup with a primary 16MP with f/1.7 aperture, EIS & OIS & secondary 20MP with f/1.7 aperture. The rear camera setup can record 2160p/60fps, 1080p/240 fps or 720p/480 fps slow motion videos. At the front it has a 16MP f/2.0 aperture which is capable of recording 1080p/30fps videos with EIS. It gets a smaller 3300 mAh Li-Po battery but comes with Dash charger which is the fastest charging tech so far.

Screens on both these devices are nothing less than brilliant though I would prefer the OnePlus 6 optic AMOLED over IPS LCD found on the POCO F1. The screen on the OnePlus 6 is protected by Corning Gorilla glass 5 while the screen on the POCO F1 seems to be protected by a previous version (unspecified) of Corning Gorilla glass. The lack of NFC on the POCO F1 might be a deal breaker for some.

Apart from all we now know about both the phones the other difference here is the material choice. The OnePlus 6 is built out of glass & metal whereas the POCO F1 is made out of either full plastic or the top variant that has a Kevlar back.

Xiaomi this time has promised an update to Android P in three months while we all know that OnePlus has been really quick with rolling out updates. Phones such as the Honor 10 & the LG G7+ thinq are equally good options and are available at great price.
