Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Mobile Review And Specification Techtoweb

Display

Xiaomi isn't keen on using 1440p displays in its phones, even the Mi 8 has a 1080p one, so it's no surprise that the Pocophone is also relying on a 1080p panel. It's 6.18" in diagonal with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 (so 2,246x1,080px) and pixel density is about 403 pp

Battery life

The Pocophone F1 packs a 4,000mAh battery - the same capacity as on a number of Redmi Note and Mi Max phones. The F1 ships with an 18W QuickCharge 3.0-compatible charger, which however is not terribly fast. It fills 35% of a depleted battery in half an hour of charging.

Video recording

The Pocophone F1 records video up to 4K, as any self-respecting flagship should. Most of them this year also offer 4K at 60fps, but the Poco doesn't - just 4K/30fps. In fact, there isn't even a 1080p/60fps - again, just 1080p/30fps.

The video bitrate is just shy of 42Mbps in 4K and 20Mbps in 1080p, while audio is recorded in stereo with a 192Kbps bit rate. That's when using the h.264 codec, though you do have the option to switch to the more efficient h.265.
