Hello Guys,
Do you think is it worth it to upgrade my Galaxy S6 to a Poco F1 ?
I bought my Galaxy S6 about 3 years ago and other than its battery life and some scratches on the screen and dodgy USB port, I have no other complaints.
Galaxy S6 was a $800 buy at the time and Poco is like $300 now. so I am trading a flagship for a mid-range device.
And actually GS6 still beats Poco in some categories like screen, camera and build quality.
So what do you think ? should I wait another year or two ? or buy Poco F1 ?
Personally, yes. But its your choice, for $350 you are getting a good deal.
Lol thats exactly what i did, i had a galaxy s6 and upgrade to a poco a week ago, and **** yes its worth it, its such an amazing upgrade i really reccomend you doing that, its worth every penny

Dont you feel any downgrades on the screen department ? GS6 has a 576 ppi super amoled screen compared to 416 ppi LCD screen on Poco F1.

definitely a downgrade ,especially the black renders ,coming from a s6 edge plus , but weighting the price factor , you cant really complain , also it lack some feature like nfc and wireless charge ,which i doesnt use at all.

i upgraded from s7, yes the screen is not so good compared to super amoled and the build quality considering it's a budget phone, the camera is not that bad and personally in my opinion that poco camera is better than s6 maybe because the soc, and at some point is better than my s7. Moreover if you use google camera, it's slightly better.
But.. if you want better screen, camera and build quality. You might want to add some extra bucks for Mi8. It's around $380-$400 here in my country.

I'd say go for the mi8. Lovely phone with look and feel much more consistent with the galaxy line. Love my F1 but if amoled is your thing, there's no denying that the F1 doesn't have it
about four times better in battery? yes
I remember when is use S6, i must charge it twice a day at the lunch break,

Hey, guys. Sorry if this matter was already discussed here, but I'm in terrible doubt. Samsung S8 and Poco F1 are almost the same price in Brazil (where I live, of course) and I've been reading a lot about the advantages of having a "premium phone", even if it's from 2017.
But, at the same time, I totally love the Poco F1. I know the Poco's battery life is better, but: What about the cameras? Back and selfie?
The difference is THAT huge? Who wins?
Also, for reference, I guess the other features are really alike. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm sorry for the poor english. Thank you all in advance!

how can s8 be same price as poco , brand new set ? sammy camera are better atm
i have used both poco f1 and s8.
s8 ergonomic is too good. it will give you all round premium feel. go with s8.
either ways you wont be wrong as both are quality devices
S8 camera, display and audio is more better than Poco. If you not much in gaming S8 is good to go.

Boi, the government taxes here are so damn big that they truly are the same price. Pocophone in Brazil (tax included) is 2.000 reais (499usd)
S8 is 2099. I guess it'll cost about 1600 reais (399usd) by November, Black Friday. Thanks for your reply!

Do you think the selfie cam of S8 beats the Poco? I've seen some really good selfies with Poco (especially with the "bokeh effect").

If you go to zoom.com.br and search for the S8 (regular one, not plus) it costs 2099 in Brazil. And if you go to Mercado Livre and search for the Poco F1 (and scroll until you find a reliable seller) it costs 1999. It's unbelievable, but it's true.
For camera I'd go the S8, battery life is better on Poco and of course you have the latest Soc with the Pocophone.
I have both and love both but using the Pocophone more than the S8.
Note 9, now that ones still the bomb.....
S8 seems a better option IMO, s8 wins in almost everything except battery and performance, if you just want performance then you can get the f1.
Here in India s8 costs twice as much as f1, so for us poco f1 is much better value.
I really wish the difference were this huge, like in India. In Brazil, one dollar costs 4,03 reais. More than 4x. So a "cheap" phone like Poco is really expensive here. Note9 costs 1046.49 dollars here, in cash. If you're paying in credit cards (and by installments), the price goes up to 5k reais.
Anyway, I've seen some people saying the S8 camera is sh**t. Specially the selfie one. I'll search for more samples and decide. Thank you, guys!
Hi buddies!
My 3 last smartphones were Samsung ones (A5/2016, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8) and now I'm thinking of trying something different.
I have nothing to complain about my Galaxy S8, but let's say that I'm tired of it.
I use the smartphone mainly for for social media and taking pictures, so, the camera is the more important feature for me.
Thinking of a new smartphone, I have Xiaomi Mi 8 and OnePlus 6T in mind.
I had in my hands the Mi A1 and Mi A2, but never used one with MIUI.
How about the screen quality? Will I notice too much difference switching back from 1440p to 1080p?
Is Mi 8 camera better than Galaxy S8's?
What you guys have to say about this deal?
No, you won't notice the difference between 1440 and 1080. Screen is excellent but s8 screen is a little brighter. Nevertheless xiaomi developer team is really really slooooow don't expect to be up to date with Android releases. I mean I am running 8.1 on mi8 (flagship) while the S7 is already on Pie.

Most of Xiaomi users even don't know what is MIUI Beta/Weekly and the Global Stable ROM is very slow to update.
I had the S8 and made the change to Mi 8.
At first, running the Global stable rom, i was kinda let down. Hdr didn't work, camera was not good and headphone audio volume was low.
Then i installed the Global beta rom (based on pie). All the above problems were fixed, the camera if you want to install the bsg Gcam is Amazing. Stock is good too but Gcam is miles ahead. The norch support is improved, you can now get notifications on status bar.
The mi 8 is snappier ( touchwiz is laggy).Battery on this thing is really good (geting 7h SOT on miui). The Mi 8's screen is a downgrade but not as big as i first thought. I played many videos side by side and could notice "blacker" blacks on the S8.
My opinion is to go with mi 8 if you want to install a custom rom, to make it pixel-like or AOSP in general.
Imho even a Redmi note 6 pro would be a massive upgrade from any Samsung device.
Can't stand their roms and bloatware. Great hardware but awful software.

S7 has Pie only on custom Roms! Mostly on crappy AOSP Rom's where the battery life and camera quality is really bad.
Mi 8 and also Poco has Pie on official Beta from vendor. Even the S9 didn't have a official beta from Vendor with Pie (as far i know, but don't keep an eye on S9 dev).
Please keep the facts! Has nothing to do with glorifying someone.

No. You are confusing them. S7 has no official OTA pie update. S9 does not have stabel OTA pie. Infact, both Xiaomi and Samsung are really slow.

In principle, I advise you against it,
I have Mi8 it is very good phone at an excellent price, I moved from Galaxy Note 4
Mi8 battery life is great, usually I get +7 hours of SOT, and sometimes I reach 48 hours of use on one charge.
display is great, colors and brightness
I don't play games on it but the performance is smooth in general
the design and dimensions are very good also
the finger print sensor is fast , convenient and well placed.
charging is faster than Samsung's
I have used Samsung's software for years and I like, but you can easily get used to MIUI.
the stock camera software is not that good, but you can use a Gcam port like I do.
I have one complain about the Mi8 which is the speaker loudness, it is nearly inaudible if compared to my previous Note 4.
if you "need" a new phone immediately it will be a very good choice at a budget.
If you are looking for an upgrade from the S8, I think you Mi 8 is not a suitable one, neither the OP6T, especially with that in-display slow andn insecure finger print sensor.
I explained my reasons here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/love-mi-8-t3876024.

You will notice the difference in sound quality if you have an In-ear monitor (IEM) like KZ ZSN.
but price wise, and performance yeah I will definitely choose Mi8. will just need to unlock and tweak the audio. cheers
I've done it myself and I can say that I love the MI8 for its overall performance and MIUI10 which is to me so far the best Android experience. I do miss some stuff tough like the wireless charging and IP68 certification which was really nice to have. But I don't regret my purchase.

Hello guys, I'll keep everything short.
I own Pocophone F1 , Should I switch to essential? What are cons and pros of Essential phone? It's on latest pie right now (I gave my Poco to friend for a week, he gave me his Essential) and fingerprint option is missing from settings, Can it be fixed? Is Camera "That" bad? Is battery better than Poco?

I had both....both are great but roms on essential are limited....digitizer isn't good and signal strength isn't good on essential....but I loved the small size
No way I don't think it's an upgrade, there are people regretting buying an essential instead of a pocophone.
Their only upgrade is the android q to look forward to.
Camera is still bad.
I'm still wondering if I should get a note 8 because their prices dropped.
(the vr the large 6.3" oled screen and pen looks so nice for around 350-400 usd. Plus the one ui pie is released)

There seems to be an issue where you can't use substratum or any software to modify android system
It's nearly Christmas and I'm looking for a gift for my mum. For the past 4 years she's been using a Samsung Galaxy s3 and has been reluctant to upgrade, though at this point it's become so temperamental that Santa's gonna put his foot down and get her a new phone
I love my pocophone, she loves the photos I take with it and I've got a chunk of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've seen the 128 gb version new for €240 which seems a no brainer
MIUI is no harder to use than the antiquated junk on her s3 and she'll love the 2 day battery life
My question to you good people is:
I haven't been watching the other phones on the market. Is there anything that competes seriously in the same price range? I'd rather not get her anything second hand as Santa still doesn't recycle, surprisingly enough
Thanks for any suggestions
I was hoping for the note 10 / cc9 pro but I'd say other than the camera it is worse and costs 450€, like wtf. The only thing which the poco is lacking in my opinion is nfc. If she is not going to use it she'll be perfectly fine with the phone. Ah and ghost touches. Lets hope that there are no fts panels around anymore or whatever the reason for that is.
I would say the Poco F1 might be overkill. Go checkout the Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 8 plenty fast and also very good camera. Might be a bit cheaper and will work just as good.

If she has an S3 now she will be over the moon with the Redmi Note 7 or 8 camera, my colleague was really happy with the pictures. A serious advantage over the S3 in darker wintertime etc. Also the speed of the camera is a lot faster. You can also install Gcam on them without rooting or modding them which is also great if you want to get her into photography.
When it comes down to battery life, yup, both phones are really amazing.
I also own a Redmi Note 5 pro and to be honest and fair, the processor in the Poco F1 is overkill for what I do. The Redmi Note 5 already handles everything more than fast enough without any waiting. Click and it's there, no frustration or lag. The 7 and 8 even have faster cpu's so no worries on that front.
Just some advice if you buy for your mother (my mother has a Redmi Note 5 pro also, guess how that happened ). What I did was order a glass screen protector and some cases. I guess for 20 euro on Aliexpress you are more than settled. Giving her the phone is really nice but giving it completely protected and usable is a must and she will really like that.
Redmi Note 8 pro or Mi 9 lite
I followed the above recommendations and bought a Redmi note 8
It arrived this week
It's great! She's gonna love it!
(Unfortunately I got it from an AliExpress seller meaning I was hit for another chunk of vat - should have bought it from eglobalcentral where I got my f1; they ship from within the eu)
Thanks for the advice peeps!
Interesting to note the feel of it - felt at least as well put together as my pocophone. Obviously a tiny bit of lag noticeable here and there, but it was minimal - though I saved it the burden of trying PUBG on it!
fones €240
Realme note 5 pro
Nokia 6.x
Mi8
xiaomi A3 (but ram is only 4gb , however xiaomi Cc9e chinese version has 6gb, camera result is not so good)

Galaxy M30 ! (or if you can go €300) (m30s 6/128 variant is something you should seriously check out)
Go with Redmi Note 8 Pro
As i strongly believe she doesn't require anything like Snapdragon 845
POCO F1 Armored Version 8GB 256GB is available for INR 16999/- now.
I can get it for Rs. 12,299 with exchange of my old phone.
I am wondering if it's still a good phone in February 2020?
Would really appreciate your suggestion. Thanks!
Good budget phone. Becoz there is better soc now. :laugh:
If you wait, in short time, Mi 10 Pro will be released.
I think that's great value (about €220 before trade in?)
Mi 10 pro will be expensive, but may lead to some further price reductions - I wouldn't have thought you'd get such a high spec F1 much cheaper though
Go for it
That's an amazing price. Just buy it

If you don't mind an okayish display and a big notch, this is the phone to get at this price point
Pros : Flagship SOC (crazy fast for EVERYTHING), rear fingerprint is a plus, fast charge, one of the most developer-supported devices on the earth, really good price point now, several gcam versions support, miui cam app via ANX cam.
Cons : Big-fat-ugly notch, average LCD hence color and brightness sub par, touch issues, slowly fading support due to latest xiaomi devices being handed to Poco F1 devs, sanity has almost stopped GCAM support.
Apart from these, plastic body is user-taste
I would say there are better options in this proce range because we hardly need crazy-fast speed during day-to-day usage, we look at the screen all the time so best screen is needed.
Hope this helps.
At this price, I advise you to buy it.

Samoled+mid range soc+decent cam

Hope this helps.
@rajeshkoshti A few phones with nice screens there. I see the way you're thinking (albeit each has one or more weaknesses, often the camera, and though the F1 isn't perfect on that score, it's not at all bad especially with a gcam to your taste)
Just to say though, to hit the same price point you'd have to look for a 1+ or Samsung flagship from more than one generation back - remember, the F1 itself is a budget flagship from nearly 18 months ago
Bear in mind also that the F1 in question is top of the F1 range
Have to say, I'd still go for the F1, but it's good to have options!

It will last surely for around 3-4 years . S845 and 8 gb ram is sufficient. Even s625 devices are okay for a normal user.
I have an Armoured edition poco, i advise you to go for normal version. You wont find a good case for armored one.
If you are using without a case go for armored edition. Its a beauty
Though if you have the armoured edition, you don't really need a case, surely?
In relation to updates, I wouldn't be so sure. Pocophone is a bit of an unknown quantity - Xiaomi (from my very limited experience) seem to be good about supporting their (huge) range of devices for a good few updates, but I've read concerns that the F1 may not get such longer-term love. However in a post-Treble world I'd naively hope developers will be able to keep it current for a few years yet
if you are a camera fan, forget poco f1, mi a2 has a far better camera.

This head to head review of the F1 Vs mi A2 cameras disagrees - probably not much in it, but the F1 wins

Fwiw I find the F1 with gcam takes pretty decent photos

all these options are meh.
redmi note 8 pro doesnt have 120fps lcd
mi a3 sd665
used Samsung flagships from three years ago? two years ago flagships is still priced the same as new poco 6/64 and lower performance
used one plus? are you joking?
realme x & 5 pro SD616???
m30s?
these are borderline low ranger performer.
SD 7xX & 730G & G90T chipsets are considered mid ranger.
sd6XX is low ranger bud
Redmi Note 8 pro is the better one.

Woh! (I see, u ranted first and then edited ur post saying 8 pro is better option - which I hv alrdy included for the OP, LOL)
somebody is getting too much excited!
I was just giving my two cents to the OP, chill.
Instead of arguing with my comments u shud give ur two cents n stop typing.
BTW, hey OP Poco X2 is not a bad option either, it will get longer support than F1.
Peace.:good:
