I was originally looking for MI8, now I will get this instead. Good luck on your decision.

The differences between them is just outlook design and built quality?

and camera

how bout camera? i still hold on to my nexus 6p juz bcoz of the camera lol

And camera.

Built quality is debatable. Obviously mi8 is solid based on reviews, but Poco is still new. Who knows where else they would cut corners. But since it's by Xiaomi, I think it should be decent.

But when people say built quality, it's probably just the feeling of plastic Vs metal or glass. But if you're gonna slap on a cover, then it doesn't matter.

Oya, forgot about the screen. Mi8 amoled is definitely better than ips on the Poco.

compare the 2, see which fits you. There is no one phone fits all needs.

If they're not going to bring in the 8+256 variant, might as well just settle for the 6+64 one. No point in buying the 6+128 variant since the RAM size is the same and you can always expand storage later via mSD.

Camera comparison:

Poco vs Mi A2 vs 1+6


Since can't find Poco vs Mi 8 cam... 1+6 vs Mi 8


Poco vs Honor Play

Does POCO really come with dual stereo speaker? During the teardown video shown single only.

Hahaha... gud observation. Well the second one is the ear piece when you cake calls, that tiny speaker. The loudness of course is not there compared to the real speaker down below.

If I'm not mistaken the PCB must be UMT & easy to change the parts as well. Literally, the liquid cooling is just a gimmick marketing like Note 9.

I trust made in India products more than made in China.

I think the 64GB ROM will definitely out of stock.Too bad only sell online whereas the 64GB is not available in Mi Store.i think not much people will buy the 128GB.The sales will start after tonight 12am for Lazada?

First gen liq cooling... got to start some where

Not interested with 64GB at all. The 8+256GB with Armoured edition is interesting.

u check unbox therapy

I often watched it & even followed him, but I don't trust them blindly. I know a lot products like to send to him for review.

By the way, his unit is armoured edition 6+128GB & why not reviewing 6+64GB the basic one?

FYI, I've watched since the minutes he uploaded. The video is just a crap.

I thought armoured is 8/256 ?

I also notice that most of the review are all based on armoured edition.Is there any video out there that is using the base variant for review?I am curious on the durability like drop test and so on to see the build quality of the pocophone.If the durability test show good very promising results, I think this will add more marks to the build quality.
