Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Xiaomi has firmly planted its flag on UK soil and the Pocophone F1 delivers astonishing value for money. Laughing in the face of four-figured smartphones, there's simply no better phone for your money.

India Today | Saurabh Singh

Shut up and take my money is the ideal way to describe the Poco F1. It checks all the boxes that you generally expect from a phone that costs 2X or 3X more.

TechRadar | Sudhanshu Singh, Sean Cameron

With a flagship-grade chipset, large battery, bright display and capable cameras all for a tantalizingly low price, the Pocophone F1 is an exciting new entry to the smartphone game. But for a few niggles, it's almost the perfect budget phone.

Neowin | Muhammad Jarir Kanji

If you don't want the prettiest phone on the block and can put up with the learning curve associated with MIUI, the Pocophone F1 is simply the best handset on the market right now in terms of pure value and easily earns my recommendation for users who want the most phone for the least amount of money.

Trusted Reviews | Alex Walker-Todd

Provided you can pick up the Pocophone F1 in your region, it's an easy buy for anyone who places performance, longevity and quality ahead of the aesthetics of conventional flagship phones – and even then, it's far from an ugly duckling.

Firstpost | Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee

POCO F1 does not only kill all phones in the segment regardless of what they have to offer but also kills Xiaomi's own mid-rangers like the Mi A2.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt

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.

phoneArena | John Velasco

In markets where it's officially sold, this is one value-rich smartphone. Needless to say, it's a valiant first effort and we're already eager to see what its successor will be able to deliver.

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 Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

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.

GadgetMatch | Daniel Morial

The camera performance might not be able to satisfy our eyes, but the Pocophone F1 is something you'd use primarily for gaming. It directly competes against the Honor Play which comes with the best processor from Huawei.

Gadget Speak | mfereday

The Pocophone F1 is a well-built device despite the plastic back cover. I encountered no performance issues during the review period and felt comfortable using this product. It is well worth considering.

AndroidPit | Luca Zaniello

The bottom line is that the Pocophone F1 from Xiaomi is still one of the most exciting and important smartphones of the year. It's missing some style and had some minor weaknesses, but for its price you can't go wrong with the Pocophone F1. Nice work, Xiaomi!

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.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
