  • It's an Apple device - it works flawlessly

    I have been using Android phones for the last 5 years or so, and have moved from Samsung to Xiaomi to OnePlus. None, for me personally, compare to the iOS experience I've had. This is an Apple product, and buying it you're expected to invest into their ecosystem - no earphones -> get AirPods. However, the lack of accessories does not diminish the fact that the phone has everything you need; a great camera set, great battery life for an average user and an amazing looking screen with powerful stereo speakers.
    Although the 20W quick charge may not seem like a quick sell compared to android's 65W phones, if you take into consideration its 2900 mah battery it's really not a big deal breaker, and more than a welcome feature. The phone easily lasts me through the day with medium social media consumption (about 10 hours on Instagram and more) with a few games on the side. It sits perfectly in the hand, the weight is amazing, evenly distributed too. The materials are very high quality. 10/10.

  • Perfect phone at an entry price point

    So, let me start off with the strongest suit of the Note 4, the battery. It lasts hella long time. Most times more than a day. The software is also pretty mainstream, although I have grew accustomed to it myself, and it may not suit everyone. It does remind a lot of iOS, so if you don't like that, probably stay away from any Xiaomi phone. The connectivity is great, although I don't count it as a plus. There shouldn't be any bad connectivity in my opinion. The camera is good. Not the best, not the worst. It does perform well in daytime, though it's hella noisy in nighttime photography. The hardware & performance of this phone are pretty good. They're exactly what you'd expect for the price. It is falling off a bit currently but it's pretty good for what you pay for. The design of the phone is actually pretty nice. The 5.5" screen is also very good. The viewing angles aren't as perfect as I'd wanted, but they're alright. All in all, a solid phone.

  • Great experience at a cheap price point

    The design is a bit lacking. I personally don't mind it being plastic, but coming from a glass-backed smartphone, it's somewhat of a dissapointment. It is sturdy though, I'll give it that. The battery generally lasts me over 36 hours, sometimes even more than 2 days (depending on the use). Also, the MIUI system is convinient to use, or atleast it is to me as I grew accustomed to it over the previous phones I've had from Xiaomi. The hardware packed inside is one of the main shining points of the Pocophone F1. It is insane, at least if you look at it from a price per performance standpoint. Also, the screen is plenty big. I quite like it, and the viewing angles are actually pretty good. The colours aren't oversaturated, and I quite like it that way. I also use gesture controls as I deem them more convinient on a 6.18" display. I don't use camera, so I'm not going to give a comment on that.
