I'm beginning to suspect you o! It's like you want to buy either of those phones but you need someone to run tests on them undecided
@henry007 you have received your poco f1, so help him out

I think there are some mistakes people have to make for themselves. If not, their mind would be restless.

They're not even priced in the same range so at the end of the day, he cannot actually buy the pocophone with a used/refurbished s7/iPhone 6s budget.

You want to do speed test but can't watch one on YouTube? undecided

If you like any of S7 or iPhone 6s, buy it. I kuku bought a refurbished iPhone 5s for a family member last month. Those phones still have their purpose and they're dirt cheap.

They are not cheap oga, price of S7 or iPhone 6s will buy me new Mi 8

You guys just like to argue, I only seconded a comment made, stating Poco F1 is not better alternative to S7..

If you offer me for free S7 or Poco, I won't pick a plastic over premium product..

This looks cheap to me for a "premium product"

Build material is not what i'm after in a phone. If you are, you can certainly do better than S7/iPhone 6s for the budget of the Pocophone.

Meanwhile who would see a phone with physical home button + huge redundant bezels in 2018 and call it premium?

wait, what's wrong with plastic? But there's a kevlar variant. Do you use a case on your phone? For me it's performance. Poco f1 is just a first, let's wait and see what they'll come up with after this, hopefully they'll listen to the yearnings of their fans .

I doubt, the time and date stamp was cached, not the exact time it was processed. They might have processed it on Friday then 17track caches it on Saturday. You can see the time is around 7am

Poco F1, is like running Snapdragon 845 in a Tecno phone.. grin

S7, is currently selling at the same price you will buy Poco..

S7, has all feature you need in a 2018 phone..
Camera wider aperture 1.7 compared to 1.9, OIS present
Super AMOLED display, with 2k resolution.
Premium build - Front and back Glass, IP68 rating, Compared to plastic toy on Poco.
Fast Charging, Wireless charging..

He was actually right.. wink

How time flies, 2016 phones had better design..

True! 2016 was the last year of those beautiful big bezels with a whopping 16:9 aspect ratio that we all miss.

Not all, I mean those of us who bought 2018 phones. grin

definitely doesn't . As for me I don't like the idea of frequently changing my phone, when buying a phone I try to go for a phone I'll use for a long period, so this makes me take a long time on deciding which to pick

Latest processor is what gave Poco F1 an egde, Processor alone is not what make a phone better.. I stopped following Benchmarks, Cos most operate their Phones at different temperatures..

Having a 250Kmph speed on a car, is totally useless, when an average user only go 80-120, most cases you are stuck at below 80kmph , Someone with a 150kmph car will have same experience 90% of the time..

That's why Poco is not an option because it's a phone used to test waters, Maybe F2.

I just one know na... Cus, 1,you'll be hell bent to see a brand new s7, secondly u see am, it's either expensive or refurbished. And I'm sure u do know that technology really is moving fast, and to be honest with u, buying a phone from 2 years ago for over 120k ehn, is foolish to say the least, 30k extra and u get s8... Just saying... Also this comparison is a vague, cus those features ur talking about in the s7, same way the poco has its own features... So from ur argument so far, i don't understand ur beef with Xiaomi, is that u feel short changed...for buy a sd660 more expensive than a sd845? undecided

I agree with you, you only validate my point, why should I buy Poco F1 when there is Mi 8?

From your summation, I should change phone Every year, cos technology is moving fast?

Since u agree that the sd845 is better, why u dey bring benchmarks enter the discussion, don't u think u digress, cus even the benchmark and agrees that the sd845 is way way ahead the 660?
As for wat makes a phone better, u are right, chipset alone doesn't make a phone better,... Better depends largely on the user, if u think otherwise, ask iPhone users,... So wat u consider as better for u, could be my kryptonite, like i don't even look at phones with notches. My bias o... grin
