$400 Pocophone F1 vs $1100 iPhone XS Max #Helpful Post

hey guys Boston the iPhone 10s is

expensive starting at $1000 in reaching

fourteen hundred and fifty dollars for

the maxed out max if you see what I did

there it's easy to say that this is the

most expensive flagship ever on the

other hand I recently took a look at the

cheapest flagship you can buy the 300

hour poco phone app one even then it's

$400 armor configuration which is what I

have here it is an incredible bargain to

be clear I don't think anyone is cross

shopping these two phones but I also

don't think it's a crazy idea now sure

if you've got the kind of budget for a

high-end flagship like the iPhone by all

means go pick one up I think for a lot

of people if you can get a very similar

experience for a whole lot less why

wouldn't you which brings us to the rear

question of this video can a $400 poco

phone match up to $8,000 plus iPhone

this is probably the strongest case for

the iPhone 10s it has incredibly nice

Hardware Melly is it rocking glass on

front and back but unlike most phones

which are made out of aluminum this has

a stainless steel chassis now of course

that's something that's up to personal

preference some people won't like the

idea that it is going to scuff a little

bit easier specifically with the Silver

Edition but as far as I'm concerned it

looks nice and gives you a nice sense of

heft which feels very premium on the

other hand the poco phone is primarily

made out of plastic now that's not

necessarily a bad thing if you take a

look at the jerry-rigged everything

video he did a really solid test of

seeing how durable it is and it did hold

up pretty well unfortunately though

plastic is never going to feel quite as

premium as stuff like stainless steel on

glass to be fair the armoured edition I

have here is a slight upgrade over the

standard version as the back is made out

of aramid fiber as opposed to plastic it

feels nice and it does give you a little

bit of grip enos to the iPhone lacks but

there's a clear winner here and build

quality it's the phone that cost three x

bar there are some advantages to the

poco phone's hardware however USBC

versus lightning is kind of a wash as

far as I'm concerned what the polka

phone has the iPhone lacks is a

headphone jack and less sure techrax and

you Joe on end the iPhone 10's is gonna

be using a whole lot of dongles on

adapters to listen to music but balanced

line is that you're losing basically any

kind of water resistance with the poco

phone f1

the iPhone has no problems with with a

full ip68 water resistance hey look I

didn't even press the screen it's not

work so you won't find wireless charging

on the poco phone something that is

standard on the iPhone

however the poco bond does have a

fingerprint sensor and be fair both

phones have a pretty solid

implementation of face unlock the Ida

advantage here is if you don't want to

you know stare at your phone unlock it

just easily drop a finger on the button

and unlock it like that let's be real

though the vast majority of people are

going to put these phones in a case

regardless and the build quality is good

enough that neither of them really worry

me all that much now yeah the polka

phone can't quite keep up with the

iPhone but considering how much more

expensive this is yeah I would hope so

usually when it comes to a budget phone

one of the biggest things you have to

sacrifice his performance but I was

actually the strong suit of the poco

phone inside you'll find a snapdragon

845 paired with 6 gigs of RAM and 128

gigs of storage and that's not a perfect

comparison but in context the iPhone

only has 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of

storage on the base model and again it's

$1100

that is really impressive for phones

that's this much cheaper however as soon

as you start trying to do any kind of

benchmarks you're going to find the

polka phone just can't hang with the

iPhone it shouldn't be a huge surprise

finale is the Pogo phone going to be

significantly slower than the 10s but

even the one plus 6 is going to be

quicker even though it has basically the

same spec it's much the same story on

the graphics side the iPhone is a huge

huge leap over what's available on the

Android side full stop and the polka

phone is no exception

surprise surprise this does apply to

real world use so I don't think anyone

would call the Pogo phone slow but

putting side-by-side with the iPhone and

you will notice that there is a

responsive difference responsive

difference responsiveness difference a

difference in responsiveness perhaps a

responsive difference one thing I think

is important to mention is that while

the polka phone is a global phone it's

not necessarily meant for the US market

don't get me wrong it is available to be

purchased here in the US but it doesn't

have full LTE support for all the

carriers it's pretty good on AT&T; and

t-mobile but Sprint and Verizon are a

bit hit or miss this is all a lot more

straightforward than you might think yes

the iPhone is faster and that really

shouldn't be a surprise but we consider

the enormous price difference and the

fact the polka phone can totally hang

with the iPhone

some ways and slightly surpasses it and

others is incredibly impressive

take a look at the screens and you're

going to find that they look very very

similar the polka phone has a slightly

smaller 6.2 inch display whereas the

iPhone is rocking a 6.5 inch panel but

they're actually really close there's no

doubting that both these phones have

quite the knotch I can't complain too

much so both the poco and the iPhone do

have nately their selfie cameras here

but they also do have some face id Tech

feel to unlock the issue here is that

while the iPhone looks pretty much

uniform on the rest of it

the poco does have a pretty large chin

considering that it's at their the price

though I really can't complain too much

run the phone's through our display

tests and what you'll find is something

kind of surprising yes the iPhone has a

terrific display and some of the things

that our test doesn't really show is the

excellent viewing angles as well as the

contrast but that being said color

accuracy and brightness on the poco

phone is right up there in addition to

having a slightly higher screen

resolution the real advantage for the

iPhone is that it's using an OLED panel

versus LCD there's nothing wrong with a

solid LCD like on the poco but you're

not going to get quite as vibrant of a

pictures on the iPhone still though I'm

incredibly impressed with just how close

this gets surprisingly both the iPhone

and poco phone share the exact same size

12 megapixel sensor now mind you there

are some other advantages with the

iPhone including having optical image

stabilization as well as an actual

telephoto lens but on paper they look

pretty close it might not look

particularly exciting but this actually

should be a reasonable test of the

camera now is there a lot of detail on

the tree we've got a lot of vibrant

colors as well as some serious dynamic

range it does seem like the iPhone got

the white balance just a little bit more

accurate detail wise they're fairly

close I will say there's a little bit

more dynamic range on the iPhone here

and it did do a good job with sort of

warming up the image but it's not a huge

difference oh that's a much bigger

difference the iPhone really was able to

pull in a lot of that sky whereas the

Polka foam totally blew it out yeah the

polka phone just does not hold the

shadows as well as the iPhone it also

seems like it's a little bit over sharp

in this photo the iPhone does look a

little bit more natural it shouldn't be

a huge surprise that the iPhone has a

better camera but I'm also curious about

is the video capability this is what 4k

video looks like straight off of the

poco phone f1 so of course you guys can

be the judge for yourself I will say

that there's not quite

the same level stabilization so we can

move a little bit left and right you'll

be able to tell but based on that in the

audio not back on the other hand this is

what you're going to be getting on the

iPhone 10's max here we're recording at

4k 24 frames although it is important to

note that the iPhone will go all the way

up to 60 but first of all you're going

to be getting stereo audio something new

for the iPhone on top of that to my eye

this is going to be a little bit more of

a natural image with a little bit less

sort of crunchiness a little bit less

compression next up we have the

front-facing cameras whereas the iPhone

has 7 megapixels to work with the pokel

phone has 20 but is it actually any good

I will say I like the iPhone colors a

bit more and there is more dynamic range

but I've got to give this one to the

poco phone it's wider which means of

course you're going to be able to on

your selfies if you're super popular

like Ken but almost more importantly

than that it's a nice sharp image those

extra megapixels are definitely doing

something so does the $400 poco phone f1

match up to the $1100 iPhone 10's max

well subjectively the iPhone is a better

phone there is no doubt in a lot of ways

it's actually a pretty significant

difference but in most ways that people

care about

I think the poco phone is right there

and it is incredibly impressive that I'm

even having this comparison right you

might think that of course an iPhone is

going to be way way better but

considering that's nearly three times

the price it is nowhere near three times

the phone
