Hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the Pocophone f1 I've been
wanting to check this out for quite some time banggood was nice enough to send
this along and I'll link it in the description below so you could check it
out if you'd like to and if I have a discount code it'll be down there as
well so this is a flagship phone at a budget price around three hundred
dollars and you get a lot with it so let's take a closer look and see if it's
actually the phone of the year as some other people are saying now I've taken
the wrapper off and unfortunately my microphone wasn't recording before so I
kind of repackage this just to show you how it comes now on the back of the box
you'll see it has a snapdragon 845 with artificial intelligence built in it's
got liquid cooling dual ai cameras and a four thousand milliamp hour battery this
is also the six gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabyte model in steel-blue so let's go
ahead and open this up and inside looks like we've got a case and some
documentation so documentation about thank you for choosing polka phone and
then here is a clear TPU case so they give you that for free now you can see
here I've taken this off before but I just want to show you again how it comes
in the box and here what we have is a plug now if you're in the United States
or a different country that does not use this plug you'll need to make sure you
just have a USB adapter and then we've got USB C 2 USB a as you can see there
so let's set this aside and take a closer look at the phone and this
display is probably the most disappointing thing about it but for me
it's not a disappointment because it's LCD 6.1 8 inches and it's 1080 by 2246
so pretty nice as far as that goes it's 403 pixels per inch so basically
the same pixels per inch as an iPhone 8 plus now for me LCD displays don't
flicker so they don't bother my eyes all LEDs do and they usually strain my eyes
more so this is good news for anyone that has those issues with PWM now on
the back it's steel blue and then you've got your fingerprint sensor you've got
dual cameras with AI and then you've got your
Flash on the side you've got power sleep/wake button volume up and down and
then on the bottom dual speakers USBC then you've got your SIM card slot and
let's take a look at that so we'll pull this out of here and it looks like we've
got sim card slot and room for an SD card as well so you could expand the
storage so let's put this back in and let's boot it up now in the hand this
feels pretty good it's got a front facing camera like you'd expect an
earphone here I don't know that it's a dual speaker though it's got me ui9
we'll go ahead and set it up and I can see some light bleed down at the bottom
already I don't know if you can notice that or you notice that see if we go
down here the United States Terms & Conditions it's checking for a SIM card
can't turn the brightness down just yet you can see the UI looks a little bit
different the corners are not exactly symmetrical with or line up perfectly
with the corners of the phone so that bugs me a little bit I'll just go past
that I may take a moment or two them to check for updates we'll set up as new
I'll just skip all of this for now so we can get into the interface and then it's
got an only screen lock or fingerprint setup will do a pin then it wants me to
set up the fingerprint
okay and then you get to choose a theme so there's poco default and limitless
we'll just choose the default one for now and setup is complete now in setting
this up you get a little bit of haptic feedback it's nothing like the pixel 3xl
as far as the haptic feedback is concerned so it's okay it's typical but
it's not this new feeling that the pixel 3xl has will hit allow and here's the
launcher now this is not the Google stock launcher it's me you I see what
we've got here so you could skin this of course but overall it looks pretty good
scrolling is smooth you can see some of that light bleed down here at the bottom
I don't know if you can see that let me turn the screen down a little bit and
there's some light bleed from the bottom of the display but other than that the
display looks really good see what we've got as far as settings go here and it
looks good it's actually pretty fast as far as the scrolling is concerned Xiaomi
has been doing a lot of interesting things lately now they're designed
somewhat copy other manufacturers but their phones are solidly built at least
in my experience I love the feel of their phones and the price of them can't
be beat for what you're getting so the one to the camera here ai camera
I'll just put the pixel in the background
and we'll take a look and for some reason it's watermarking the photos so
I'll have to turn that off but overall it looks pretty good
details pretty decent so I'll continue to use this and if you want to see a
full review let me know in the comments below I do like the design it's kind of
a matte plastic feel and of course you could put this case on that they include
for free I like phones without cases most of the time but you do get this and
of course you could buy another one if you wanted to so overall though I think
it's a nice little package for $300 and what you get but let me know your
thoughts in the comments below and let me know what you think and that unlocks
crazy fast that's pretty quick so that's it for the polka phone let me
know what you think about it in the comments below and again thanks to
