Xiaomi Poco F1 Review: Design and Build Quality
Xiaomi has given great precision here at a very affordable price, but as usual, in the case of design, Xiaomi has reduced some attention. The whole body of Poco F1 is made of plastic, due to which the device can not look at premium.
The rationale for using Xiaomi's own polycarbonate is that the whole glass body of the smartphone is a bit less robust, because of which you have a case that makes the phone uniform. On the other hand, with a metal back or cut in the battery size or increases the weight, which is not a little less friendly to the phone. This is not so
with polycarbonate material and it is also economical that has helped in reducing the cost of the phone.

People who use a lot of different ways Before this, we have used well-designed polycarbonate bodies such as Vivo V9 (review) or LG Q6, but the fact that the phone's design and no cover phone gives it a touch of how it looks. It matters a lot and it also issues a lot to make the phone attractive.
You will not feel as attractive as the fat bezel given on the bottom and sides of the front. Chomami has not given olfobic coating in view of the price cut and hereby the screen on fingerprints very fast. Like the iPhone X, Poco F1 has been given a big number but here you have been given a receiver for the earpiece, selfie camera, IR emitter and fascial diagnosis.
The Soft-Touch Kevlar back option gives a nice feel to the hands
Apart from this, you have also given a SIM tray on the left side while the power button and volume buttons are given on the right side. Speaker grill and USB Type-C port are placed below and 3.5mm audio jack upwards. The Poco F1 looks a bit heavy, weighing 186 grams and thickness 9mm.
Together we can say that in case of design Poco F1 is not as attractive as other options seem to be. Rather, Asus Zenfone 5Z and OnePlus 6 Even the Nokia 7 Plus (review) and Mi A2 (review) gives more premium look than Poco F1. But if you can not get all the things in one device and keep the price in mind, the design can also be ignored for the base model.
Xiaomi Poco F1 review: display
Xiaomi Poco F1 gives you a 6.18-inch 18.7: 9 aspect ratio display. The resolution of the IPS LCD panel is capable of providing 1080 × 2246 pixels, contrast ratios 1500: 1 and up to 500nits brightness. Xiaomi has also given the Gorilla Glass 3 protection here.
With default settings, the color and contrast of the Poco F1 screen gets quite satisfactorily. This display looks even more attractive There is no problem in the phone
Xiaomi Poco F1 Review: Performance and Software
This device looks very good in terms of performance. In the phone you get the Snapdragon 845 chipset which has proven the best Qualcomm chipset so far. To keep the display even better, you have been given 25 GB of UFS 2.1 storage with 6GB / 8GB RAM option in F1.
Xiaomi claims here that the device has been introduced with Liquid Computing Technology which can be seen only in Samsung's high end phones S9 + and Note 9. This technology, with help from the device heating away from problem.
To test Poco's this cooling technology, we played the PUBG game continuously for a while, whose graphics and performance settings were high. During this test, we did not see any problem like frame drops and the whole time gaming experience remained quite good. We believe that the device was very hot Multitasking Experience also gets much better and there is no problem.
In Poco F1 you also get the facility of IR based Face Unlock with fingerprint sensor. When setting up the Face ID, Xiaomi has said that Face Unlock is a little less reliable than fingerprint sensor and pin unlock.
Fingerprint sensor and face unlock are both fast but the fingerprint sensor is faster and more accurate but Face Unlock sometimes shows some difficulty in recognizing the face.
Now let's talk about the software, here you run on MIUI 9.6 custom skin. Xiaomi has also made some changes for the custom skin for its Poco F1, the most prominent among which is Poco Launcher, which also gives you an app drawer.
First of all talk about Poco Launcher, Xiaomi has included an app drawer in its MIUI skin while paying attention to customer feedback. Here you get an app drawer inspired by Google's pixel launcher, which also offers search bar and gesture support on the bottom.
Apart from this, you also get third-party icon pack support in Poco Launcher. Apart from these, there is a change in the number of couples who love to use the phone. Apart from this, the software is the same as before. We did not like the number of pre-installed applications given in Pocophone F1
There is also a software bug in MIUI skin available in Poco that company can fix through future software updates.
Xiaomi Poco F1 Review: Camera
The camera of Poco F1 is reminiscent of the Xiaomi Mi8, which was recently launched in China , which may be soon be launched in India . In Poco F1, you have been given dual camera setup on the back, with 1.4MP pixels, f / 1.9 aperture and dual pixel phase detection with 12MP IMX363 Sony sensor. As a second sensor, Samsung has a 5MP deepth sensor On the front Oppo F1 gets a 20MP selfie camera, which also includes pixel binning. Optical image stabilization is not allowed in both front and rear camera setup.
The camera application is given in the same way as other MIUI based phones. The layout of the application is quite simple and easy In addition to modifying the mode with life and right sliding on the screen, here you have given modes like flashlight, HDR and AI.
Poco F1 also has a portrait mode which, according to works, works like ours. In a lot of images, it allows the edges of the image to be completely blurred. The 20MP selfie camera performs well and at this door we managed to get a good selfie image. We used some of the image modes in the selfie camera and clicked that image in the daylight, the image was better than our expectations.
The camera of Poco F1 gives you a better performance based on your price. In Daylight, the device is able to click on a good dynamic range, which looks quite sharp Sometimes the image gets a bit over-saturated but Poco F1 is capable of delivering a better image with Auto HDR mode in low-light. The image taken on the night
Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Review: Battery and Audio
Poco F1 also has a large battery of 4000mAh which is more than OnePlus 6 and Asus Zenfone 5Z. We have been using this device for almost a week and once the battery is not disappoint us in any way. Even after using gaming, web surfing, social media applications, calling, media content in the phone, the device is able to comfortably back one day.
To charge the bigger battery quickly, the Chemo has also given the Charger of 18W with Quick Charge 3.0 support here. During the test the device was charged up to 40% in approximately 30 minutes.
Speaking of the sound, the loudspeaker is placed in the Poco phone at the bottom and earpieces also provide stereo effects while working as a speaker. With Dirac HD sound support, this device provides a much better sound output according to this price segment. But the output received by earpieces during casting is not good as we expected.

In Poco F1, you get a lot of specification by price. We believe that OnePlus 6 or Asus Zenfone 5Z, but keeping the specification as a mid-range phone, we will call it a good option. Poco F1 provides you with the best hardware, reliable camera setup and a great battery. These three things matter to the mid-range device that are available in Pocophone F1
