Xiaomi POCO F1 Design, Display, Speed, and Smoothness Review
Xiaomi Poco F1 is a game changer. A flagship at mid-range price. How does it compare to the competition? We review the design, display, and performance.
There are only a handful of Android smartphones that we can confidently call game changers. The legendary HTC Evo 4G proved that Android smartphones had what it took to compete with the iPhone. The 2013 HTC One showed us that Android smartphones could not only contend with the iPhone in terms of build quality, but far surpass it. Then came the OnePlus One in 2014, the one smartphone that truly deserved its "Flagship Killer" moniker, the smartphone that gave us Android nerds what we wanted without costing a fortune. And then there's Xiaomi—the Chinese smartphone manufacturer that exploded onto the scene with prices that undercut basically everybody. We crowned Xiaomi's Redmi Note 3 the king of the budget smartphone realm back in 2016, and now Xiaomi is back with another smartphone with a price almost as radical: the Xiaomi Poco F1, also known as the Xiaomi Pocophone F1.
