Poco F1 64 GB

With the entry into the arena of Pocophone X1 from Xiaomi, the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat a good mid-low-cost should be turned upside down. Anyway, the Chinese managed to equip Poco with the top-end Snapdragon 845 chip and put a price tag on the model in the region of only about $300 at the start of sales.

Power in the "iron" heart

A powerful processor "under the hood" of the mobile device works in conjunction with Adreno 630 graphics and 6 GB of RAM, which ensures record performance in all tasks without exception. Games and "heavy" applications, the model turns "at the maximum". And so that the user does not encounter throttling, a heat pipe has been added to the design of the smartphone to cool the chip.

modest appearance

With the appearance of the Xiaomi Pocophone X1, things are more modest: the gadget is dressed in unremarkable plastic “armor” without any zest. The display of the device stretches to 6.18" diagonally and shows a picture at a resolution of 2246x1080 pixels. Paying tribute to modern trends, at the top of the screen there is a cutout for the earpiece and a 20 MP selfie camera along with service sensors. The rear set of cameras, in turn, consists of 12 + 5 MP modules. He photographs in the spirit of the classic representatives of the kind of mid-range smartphones and has artificial intelligence functions to determine the scenes in the frame.

The new flagship killer

The menu interface of the model is different from the usual MIUI. The fact is that the POCO Launcher shell is also rolled over the Xiaomi branded launcher, and Android 8.1 is used as the basis for them. The only thing missing from the smartphone is an NFC chip, which in an era of rapid development of contactless payment systems is bittersweet. But the gadget is doing well with the battery — a 4000 mAh battery with support for fast charging using Quick Charge 3.0 technology feeds the electronic components of the smartphone for one and a half to two days in a row. Given the advantages of the device, it is Pocophone that is now destined to be called the “flagship killer” instead of the notorious OnePlus. At least that's what he really is.
