we've done plenty of vs videos in the past on this channel but I feel as though this one is a real grudge match the Paco phone f1 vs the one plus six what makes this such an epic showdown is that in many ways paco phone is positioned to steal a crown that's belonged to one plus for a long time one plus has always been the OEM you turn to when you're looking for flagship specs at a mid-range price over time though one pluses handsets have gradually seen a bit of price creep to the point where they're starting to price themselves out of budget for a lot of their initial audience which makes space for the paco phone f1 a device that's been getting a lot of attention recently thanks to just how much it can offer for such a low price so the oneplus 6 exemplifies the company's trend towards nicer but pricier devices is an excellent phone with a beautiful build quality running on top and specs thanks to a snapdragon 845 up to 8 gigabytes of RAM and up to 256 gigabytes of storage it has a large 6.2 8 inch AMOLED display with an 83.8% screen to body ratio and an excellent 1080 by to 280 P resolution there's a dual lens 16 megapixel camera and a 16 megapixel selfie camera around the front plus a 3300 milliamp hour battery but it all costs $529 for the base model enter the Paco phone f1 despite the really weird name this is a device that boasts the same key specs the Snapdragon 845 up to 8 gigabytes of RAM and up to 256 gigabytes of storage the screen is slightly less impressive although it's similar in size and resolution is an IPS LCD display rather than AMOLED the primary camera is also a slight downgrade of the 12 megapixel dual lens but that said the front-facing camera is actually decent step up at 20 megapixels it also has a larger 4,000 milliamp hour battery stereo speakers splash resistant and lightning-fast infrared face recognition it's packaged in a slightly cheaper feeling plastic body compared to one plus 6 is glass and aluminium frame but it doesn't look bad by any means and especially if you opt for the Kevlar backed version instead and what makes all of this really impressive is the fact that you get all of that for about $300 the price varies depending on where you look so for over $200 less you get the same performance and a bigger battery the trade-off is the build and the slightly lower megapixel camera but if you don't care about that it's a no-brainer right well not quite in terms of what these devices are like to actually use there's really very little difference between the two they both blaze through apps and games and have ample specs for any task you can throw at them in the camera department they're also similar their cameras are absolutely reflective of their decent and mid-range status they both do surprisingly well for their price but they fall short of the greatness we see on galaxy's pixels or Apple devices but then there are few other considerations that might give you pause for thought one of these is the software both are on Android 8.1 Oreo but the oneplus is running oxygen OS on top whereas the POC I phone has me UI both are just fine me UI is actually pretty uninvaded for the most part and may even have some features that you like but a lot of people will choose one plus for its stock Android light experience this is something that a lot of people look for and it may just be the clincher for some and that differentiator becomes all the more important when you consider that Xiaomi has recently begun the shady practice of speaking ads into their software uses a noticing ads appear on pre-installed apps as well as in the settings menu and more apparently this is to offset the price and they're very subtle I haven't seen this happen once yet myself but the fact that Xiaomi would do this without warning on the device that you paid for in good faith is pretty uncool I can't imagine oneplus pulling a stunt like that there's also the slight issue of streaming that you may have heard of the Paco Phone f1 doesn't have Widevine l1 which means that you can't stream HD videos from Netflix BBC Amazon etc and it will instead be capped at 5:40 P you can see the difference but whether that's an issue for you will depend on how much you use those services so with all that said which is the better phone well that would have to be the 1 plus 6 this is a nicer device to use with fewer compromises and a fantastic build quality and no ads which is the better value though that would have to be the Paco Phone f1 because I'm honestly not sure that all those extras you get with the Wampler are worth over $200 words like flagship mid-range and budget are thrown around a lot to the point that they've lost pretty much all their meaning rather than putting everything into neat little categories it's better to think of this as a spectrum with cheap disposable phones at one end and premium luxury devices at the other better yet think of it like a buffet we can pick and choose the specs and features that matter to you and mix and match to create your own perfect device there's enough option out there now that this is possible often it's not actually the raw specs that create the perfect Android experience the devil is in the details details like video playback or splash resistance and those details are unique to every user the oneplus 6 simply sits a little further along the spectrum and has a few more tasty morsels on its plate the poco phone f1 is a little better value but if you have the budget for the oneplus 6 then you will be able to feel that extra expense hope you found this video useful interesting guys if you did then please leave a like please share around let us know in the comments down below what you think which of these devices
