The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is great value for money, particularly because of its powerful SoC, impressive battery life and great cameras. You will have to live with some cut corners at this price though.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

Android flagships like the OnePlus 6, the ZenFone 5Z, and the Honor Play are still value-for-money phones, but the Poco F1 is definitely the only Android flagship phone that gives you more than what you are paying for.

Android Central | Harish Jonnalagadda

If you're looking for a great deal on a phone, the POCO F1 is still available. Yes, the phone is nearly two years old and is unlikely to receive further platform updates, but the hardware you're getting here is pretty incredible.

The display is another area the phone lags behind its competition coupled with loads of bloatware. That said, if you are ready to ignore some of its cons then this is the device you should go for without giving a second thought.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

Xiaomi has hit the ball right out of the park with the pricing of the Poco F1, and it'll be interesting to see whether any manufacturer is interested in a price war.

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

The Pocophone is impossible to ignore, due to a spec sheet that practically defies belief... but it's still early days for the company, which means putting up with a few glitches and features not working.
