Pocophone F1 Review | Trusted Reviews

The Pocophone F1 uses affordable design, access to Xiaomi's manufacturing might and powerful internals to compete with flagships for a fraction of the price

Excellent value for money ; Superb performance ; Fantastic battery life ; Decent cameras

MIUI for Poco will take some getting used to ; Thick bezels ; Plastic build ; No NFC

An easy buy for anyone who places performance, longevity and quality ahead of the aesthetics of conventional flagship phones.
