Xiaomi has introduced its new all-brand Poko to entice customers. Compared to the Redmi Series, the Shawomee Mi Series did not show anything quite in India. As a result, after the Xiaomi Mi 5, the company did not launch any of the new Mi-Series series phones. The new Poko brand is trying to fit the expectations of the people without burdening the people of Shaomi. The first handset of the Poco brand is F1, but it is getting shoe fame like Chaomi phones. This smartphone is equipped with a powerful processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. In addition to this, the Mei Poko Theme version is also present. To combat OnePlus and Asus mid-range flagship smartphones, Shawmi has introduced Poco F1 in the mid-range segment.
Shaomi has designed the Poko F1 with the trend. Xiaomi Poco F1 will have a 6.18 inch display, with an aspect ratio of 18.7: 9. Gorilla Glass 3 has been used to protect the screen from cracking. Notch is also available on the front panel of the smartphone. The lower part of Poco F1 is slightly thicker than any other smartphone we reviewed, which does not look attractive. There is also a small notification LED in the smartphone which will burn when the smartphone is charged.
The back panel of Poko F1 is made of polycarbonate. Poco F1 Rosso Red, Steel Blue and Graphite Black Color will be found in three color options. A special variant of Poco F1 Armored Edition is also introduced. Shaomi has claimed that Kelvar has been used to make back panels. We reviewed the Armaged Editions of Xiaomi Poco F1. When we touched the back panel, we felt like texture. On the back panel you will see Poco written, the bottom part of it is slightly embossed. This part is called Shaomi by 'Beauty Spot'. The company said that this production is part of the process.
On the right side of the phone you will find a button to increase and reduce power and voice. The hybrid dual-sim tray on the left side of the smartphone is given. The slot will support two SIM cards or one SIM and one MicroSD card at one time. On the back panel of Poco F1, you will get a dual-camera setup, with primary sensor of 12 megapixels and secondary sensor of 5 megapixels. The rear camera will come with dual-LED flash. Just below the rear camera you will get a fingerprint sensor. When capturing the phone, you will be able to use the fingerprint sensor easily using your index finger. On the front panel of the Poko F1, there is an infrared camera and infrared ammeter for face recognition with a 20-megapixel selfie camera between Noch.
Poco F1 will have many RAM / storage options with the Snapdragon 845 processor. The company said that LiquidCool Technology has been used to control Poko F1's temperature. We will test this feature in our full review. Xiaomi Poco F1 will be available in three RAM and storage variants - 6 GB RAM / 64 GB, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM / 256 GB storage. We have got Armored Edition for review, this handset is equipped with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage.
Poco F1 can be a bit heavy on hand holding because it is equipped with 4000 mAh. This handset will come with USB Type-C port. This Qualcomm Quick Charge will come with Certified Charger. Both SIM slots will support 4G networks. Poko F1 also has an FM radio app. Xiaomi Poco F1 will come with the MUI 9 based on the Android 8.1 Orao. Our handset is running custom menu with UIu at 9.6. Shaomi said that soon after the availability of Poko F1, the MIUI 10 and fourth quarter will be given the Android P update.
The theme of Shaomi Poko F1 looks like a bridge between the MUI and stock Android. An app drawer has been given which is different from the MEU approach, along with the notification shed has been modified so that it looks like stock Android. There are three buttons for navigation but you can energize gestures by freeing up some space on the display. In the phone you will find a theme app that will help you set the phone's preferences accordingly.
In Poko F1, software features like dual-app and second-space are similar to other smartphones in Shamoi. In addition to the Microsoft app, the Shawomee Community and Me Store app will already be installed in the phone. When setting up Poco F1, it only asked for fingerprint sensor. For face recognition, you have to go to the security settings. Poco F1's face recognition and fingerprint scanner work quite fast. We did not have any issues with Android UI and multitasking. It took only a few seconds to set up the face recognition. Because the process of setting up is quite simple.
Poco F1 will be copied from OnePlus 6, Asus Zenfone 5Z and recently launched LG G7 + Think. The most interesting point of Poko F1 is its low price.
