Poco F1 phone

[scooter2014]

Well after my S8 died had to try and find a replacement. So many choices and with all the posts about this phone I took the plunge.
Features & details

• 3G HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - 4G LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) - Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) > (ensure to check compatibility with your carrier before purchase)
• 6.18 inches 2246 x 1080 FHD+, 403 ppi Corning Gorilla Glass - IR Face unlock - Rear fingerprint sensor.
• 128GB ROM + 6GB RAM - microSD, up to 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Up to 2.8GHz - LiquidCool Technology (Industry-leading thermal performance) - Non-removable Li-Po 4000 mAh battery.
• Main Camera: Dual 12 MP f/1.9 + 5 MP f/2.0 - Front Camera: 20 MP f/2.0 - Video: 4K video, 30 fps & Slow motion video: 1080p, 240fps.
• Liquid cooling system (Industry-leading thermal performance)

I bought case and glass screen protector from Amazon was actually surprised to see alit of different options for cases.

The device has a few mods out and flashing has been very simple once the bootoader was unlocked. The Google pixel experience is nice. But even the stock room is good for most. There has been 4 updates since I got the device. They are promising more and support seems to be good at this point.

My thoughts it's been better then my S8 I love the quality of photos. The battery I have yet to drain it on a full day of play and charges quick. All in for the costs I'd say a pretty good buy at 300 Canadian. (It's gone up since I bought it but still between the 3-4 hundred dollar mark

With the roms coming out quickly developer support and a company actually fixing issues from feed back I have to say I am impressed.

I'll post some photos later.

One month review.

It's been a pretty stable devive. Got a case and screen protector and battery life is amazing. I heavy user and never got below 40 percent. Few day I even forgot to charge it.

Lots of updates for it so far. Best was Google camera and night shots are very good now.

Lots if interest in this from mod community so far good purchase.

A few comments from friends re call the po po on your Poco ect but a few bought one now.

I'd recommend at this price point. Think they have gone up a bit from interest in the device. 300 was my price us they around 350-400 now.

And I've dropped a few times in case. No cracks ect s8 broke first drop in a otter box so kinda impressed with options with this one.
