Can Nokia Beat the Pocophone? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin 20:18 has been a

great year for smartphones the pixel

three is killing it on the camera side

we've got the Oppo find X which might be

the coolest design yet and we have the

good old poco phone which at 300 ollars

is kind of changed the game I just read

this is a blue phone or a blue

background does that look weird okay

wait hold it in this hand the poco phone

it's changing the game for real though

this phone has changed the way a lot of

smart phones are being sold right now

previously the oneplus really was kind

of like the standard of the sort of

benchmark phone at a much cheaper price

right so we get all the flagship specs

but usually at a couple hundred a lot of

discount however this year the poco

phone is doing the exact same thing but

it's something close to $300

while most phones at this price point

have significantly slower internals and

the flagship of the world that's where

the poco phone definitely differs in

sight it has the exact same snapdragon

845 processor as in the $1000 galaxy

note 9 the battery again the exact same

size as that note 9 even when you take a

look at the design is fairly similar to

the notch on the iPhone and well yes it

is made of plastic when you consider

that all this is coming in a phone

that's just a little bit over $300 it is

seriously impressive that's where this

comes in the brand new Nokia 7.1 which

at 3m $50 might just be able to go

head-to-head the biggest difference here

is in build so the polka phone does come

in a couple configurations this is the

armoured edition with the aramid fiber

back and you also have the cheaper

plastic but none of these really can

hold up to the glass and metal of that

Nokia I mean this looks so much nicer

not only does it have that glass but

it's also made out of aluminum and

personally as far as I'm concerned it is

a lot nicer right I mean sure they

definitely spend a lot more of the

budget on the build quality versus the

internals but you spend all day holding

the phone I do think that's an important

consideration of course though none of

this really matters too much if you put

these phones in a case as much as I like

the feeling of the Nokia it is a lot

more fragile right if I drop the phone

I'm gonna shatter the back more than

likely

where's what the poco phone might be

plastic but if I scratch it whatever

I guess not whatever but I don't have to

replace the entire phone as opposed to

this guy considering that both phones

are pretty cheap the screens are not bad

at all

the poco phone is a little bit bigger

although they're about the same

resolution the main difference here is

with the speakers

neither of these phones sound all that

great

so the main issue is that they both have

a single bottom firing speaker which is

a little tinny and easy to cover but the

good thing is is that they both have our

friend Jack headphone jack that

headphone jack is useful for the sponsor

in today's video Maz drop in their

excellent AKG M 220 Pro headphones D CL

Smooth that was WOW I know right

headphone jack approves please have

quickly become some of my favorite

headphones especially considered there

right now on mass drop they're only $35

with a wide soundstage thanks to the

semi-open design not only do they sound

way better than you expect for the price

but on top of that they're comfortable

they're fairly lightweight they have

replaceable ear cups as well as a cable

it's a really really solid package

really really and I just really saw it

really really solid because I know

adjectives and adverbs and thesauruses

mass drop wanted to make a deal just for

you guys so for the next 30 days you can

pick these up for only $35 if you've

been in the market for some decent

audiophile grade headphones definitely

be sure to go check them out the link in

the description of this video the real

difference between these two phones is

in performance run them through

Geekbench and you will see there is a

massive lead for the poco phone it is

really playing in a different league it

also has the advantage of a heat pipe to

help keep the foam cool while you're

gaming and on top of that the Polka

phone has more ran six gigs versus four

there is this big of a real-world

difference in performance as you might

expect but it is very clear to me that

the polka phone is a superior performer

and that goes a long way especially want

to use this phone for a few years it

should be able to keep up it also helps

that the polka phone has a significantly

bigger battery forty thousand milliamp

hours versus three thousand on the nokia

now at this point it might seem like the

polka phone is the very obvious winner

but there's one key area that the nokia

has over it and that is software so this

is using shammies me UI on top of

Android 8.1 which is a little bit of a

skinned version of Android shall we say

whereas this is completely stock version

of Android 9.0 Pi and it is Android 1

compatible which means this is

guaranteed at least two years of solid

software updates where's the polka phone

I mean it's got an update so far but who

knows how long that will last

now software can't be a subjective thing

it may be might like some of the extra

features the way that they've scanned

the poco phone as far as I'm concerned I

will definitely take stock Android any

day and the very least I would want to

put a launcher on the poco or

back both have a similar setup with a 12

megapixel main camera as well as a depth

sensor for portrait mode and for looking

like you have two cameras on the back of

your phone honestly both are totally

usable but I will give a slight edge to

the poco phone now that does it

consistently give really nice and

results right out of the box but on top

of it I think a lot of people just will

prefer the slight tuning of the images

that poco is doing the nokia it looks

fine but I do feel like I trust the poco

phone just a little bit more and that

goes especially in low-light the nokia

does have a little bit of an advantage

when it comes to selfies but as far as

video goes again I'm gonna give it to

the poco phone that 4k video actually

looks really impressive at least here in

the US both these phones are easily

available on Amazon links in the

description but the main difference here

is that while the nokia does come with a

warranty here the poco phone actually

doesn't have any US warranty your

results will vary based on what country

you're in but that might be a

deal-breaker for some people the build

quality and especially the software is

really impressive on the nokia but I

have to give this one to the poco phone

not only is it a great overall package

both the hundreds of dollars you're

gonna save versus a bigger more

expensive flagship you could even buy

yourself a pair of shiny new mass drop

headphones available right now
