The $300 Pocophone F1 Amazed Me.

2018-08-26
hey guys this is Austin this is the poco phone f1 when Shelby reached out and want to sponsor a video on their brand new poco foam brand which specifically includes the f1 as their very first phone I had one question what exactly is this with a price tag of around $300 the poco phone f1 might be the best deal and smartphones right now so inside now you're going to be getting a giant battery but you're also getting a full flagship grade Snapdragon 845 processor and a 300 on the phone pop open the box and what we're going to find is well first of all a whole lot of yellow but we also have the poco phone f1 itself I don't think that were digging three people to get a phone out of the box before but you can know that they definitely very securely shipped the Polka phone have fun so the addition to the base model of the poco phone there's also going to be the armoured Edition which is what I have here now this on the back while it looks like it might be fake it's actually a real aramid fiber which is commonly used in stuff like bulletproof vests and high-end sports gear I'm not supposed to do this Ken's not like you have to do this but ya know 30 not bad it does feel pretty sturdy I've got to say I'm really enjoying sort of just like the general feel of the device it is very different than all the glass and aluminum phones we take a look at I appreciate it show some nice little touches like it seems like the fingerprint sensor is glass or maybe like ceramic but it actually gives a little bit of a nice look to the back of the phone in addition to the USB C port on the bottom of the phone which does support quick charge 3.0 you're also going to find a headphone jack yes my friends he had another phone in 2018 which has still kept the headphone jack an excellent friend it will probably be gone by next year but you know now there's devils going to be a notch as well as a Chen but something interesting they've done is actually do a pretty severe curve on the edges of the display and say you will find these snapdragon 845 now this is going to be the exact same as what you're going to find other high-end Android flagships definitely nice to see at a phone at this price and on top of that this model is going to be rocking six gigabytes of RAM as well as 120 gigabytes of storage even though the phone is going to be fairly thin in light it actually does have a full four thousand milliamp hour battery which is nice to see especially considering that some other thousand-dollar flagships also have the same size battery but this is going to be much much less expensive to keep everything cool poka phone opted to go with liquid cool tech for the f1 no traditionally a chip was going to be able to just dissipate all of its heat on the back of the phone and through the body but using this it's going to be able to allow you to run it a little bit cooler for a little bit longer one of the main advantages here is that even when you're doing extended gaming sessions the phone shouldn't get that hot and very importantly for a mobile chip like this it shouldn't overheat and it shouldn't go anywhere near to the same level of throttling that you could have you had a terrible cooler on your phone not that anyone's ever done that so to thoroughly test how this works I wouldn't play a full game of pubsey mobile and see just how hot the phone gets again though this is thorough scientific testing not me just looking for an excuse to play punchy Mobile there should be no surprises with an 845 onboard we have no problem playing even fairly intense Android games such as pop G mobile pretty much maxed out whereas I come from hey there we go I can totally play against real people who are totally not BOTS I'm actually kind of surprised the back of the phone at least in touch doesn't even feel warm yet let's actually pull out the thermal camera and see so when here it seems like there is a little bit of a hot spot right beside the camera but even to the touch I mean it's only just slightly warm the pooka phone is rocking dual cameras around back so it's got a 12 megapixel main shooter as well as a 5 megapixel secondary shooter which is primarily used for portrait photos but does a decent job it's not completely perfect as far as cutting you out for the background but it's not going to be bad let's try the normal shooter that is actually pretty good so it does have AI tech on board to be able to analyze damage and tune it based on what you're taking a photo of and for the most part it actually does a really good job of enhancing the images all I know is it looks nice so I can't complain about that there's also going to be pretty decent slow-motion on board it can shoot 1080p video up to 240 frames per second as we shall now demonstrate are you ready that actually looks really good that's not bad dude that's actually really clean yeah you're something else that's pretty impressive with that clip is that she did a pretty good job with autofocus even though obviously I'm moving very quickly it almost held me the entire time we also do have a pretty decent front-facing camera as we shall now demonstrate right guys it's a really bad selfie I mean the cameras great don't get me wrong it's it's uh I know what's going on with my face that's not OK they've actually got a pretty decent sensor on here I can actually tell because you're actually slightly out of focus just being right behind us now el Poco phone might be a new brand Xiaomi most definitely is not so well the f1 is not going to be some crazy high-end flagship what it is is a very reasonably priced phone that absolutely will get the job done
