It is no secret that Xiaomi has long been chasing the American dream, a market in which smartphone manufacturers are unlikely to land, except in exceptional cases. And since POCOPHONE F1, the recent mid-range with a top-of-the-range heart, belongs to the Indian company POCO then Lei Jun's OEM marketing strategy begins to take shape. In fact, he will be unveiled in the US market arena, the much talked about terminal that has trampled several models of rival brands, due to a decidedly low price but pure substance and performance.
Well, Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 arrived almost out of nowhere and in a short time the Global version has also landed on our market. We have talked about him in all sorts of ways, through teardowns, stress tests, various modding and much more, but to summarize in general I invite you to view our review that you find below, considering that in the meantime some updates have come out that they have solved the small "problems" I encountered (at least at the software level).
Xiaomi tries to land in the USA with his POCOPHONE F1
As we can see from the image below, Xiaomi Pocophone F1, is offered starting at $ 369,99 in Graphite Black and Steel Blue color options. The price refers to the variant from 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage while we go up to $ 399,99 for the one with 128 GB memory. However, it should be noted that the smartphone will arrive in the United States but without any changes to the supported bands.
This means that POCOPHONE F1 in America will only be able to take advantage of the 3G connection and not 4G LTE. A real shame because the device could have told a lot about the company, thanks to a well-optimized hardware, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor clocked at up to 2.8 GHz with AIE, 4000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, liquid cooling, dual camera AI and much more. Furthermore, Android 9 Pie seems to be on the way, at the latest for the first month of Q1 2019.
