Poco F1 Review: Bang for your buck!

What OnePlus did to the likes of Samsung and HTC, Xioami's sub-brand Poco is doing to OnePlus. A few years ago, OnePlus disrupted the premium smartphone market by launching phones with similar specifications at half the price. Although still competitive, the pricing of OnePlus smartphones has gone up in the recent years. The recently launched OnePlus 6, which is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, has been priced at Rs 34,999. The first offering under Poco by Xiaomi focuses on speed, is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, and is priced at Rs 20,999. But can Poco F1 give OnePlus 6 and other flagship devices a run for their money?

While my review unit was the top-of-the-line variant with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage priced at Rs 29,999; even the entry-level variant with the same processor, 6GB RAM and 64GB storage for Rs 20,990 makes the Poco F1 the best smartphone in its price category. The Poco F1 actually gives a tough competition to Xiaomi's A2 for Rs 16,999 and the Redmi Note 5 Plus variants.
