Original article:
Xiaomi presented a real surprise with the Pocophone F1 at the end of August 2018. A high-end smartphone that costs less than half compared to the similarly equipped competition. The competition in the form of OnePlus has long since said goodbye to this gap in the market with the now very expensive cell phones. Xiaomi used the gap and even brought the smartphone to Europe promptly. Initially, the 64 GB version of the Pocophone F1 was sold for around 300 euros.
The best price for the Xiaomi Pocophone F1, apart from occasional deals, is around 280 euros for the 64 GB version. It is clear that the price drop at an already very low price is not as high as with Samsung smartphones, which initially cost 800 euros and are sold at half price after a few months. Nevertheless, there have been some price hikes below the 250-euro mark in the past, so if you are interested, you should watch the price trend carefully.

Pocophone F1 hands-on: that's how good the Xiaomi phone is
The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is without a doubt a price-performance hit. For less than 300 euros, you can get a smartphone with a large display, fast high-end processor, a lot of RAM and enough internal memory - which can also be expanded with a microSD card. The battery is also very generous with a capacity of 4,000 mAh. Xiaomi installs its Android version MIUI on the device, which is visually based on iOS and may take some getting used to for some users. For this, the smartphone received the update to Android 9 Pie some time ago. Xiaomi is also endeavoring to expand the range of functions with new updates. Even the dual camera did not fail in our camera test:

When and for whom is the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 worthwhile?
After 15 months, the price decline of the Pocophone F1 has waned somewhat, but you can still make good deals. The Pocophone is still interesting in 2020 if the price is less than 250 euros, otherwise you should rather opt for a more current mid-range smartphone. Technically and in terms of camera, the device is still far superior to current mid-range models, but the length of the update supply is not clear in the future. The display is good, if not at the level of current devices with OLED panels. The lack of NFC is only relevant for users who want to pay with Google Pay.
