Xiaomi Pocophone F2 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Pocophone F2 Pro - gone to the wrong steppe

The first representative of the Pocophone line of smartphones called F1 belonged to the category of products to which users are ready to forgive a lot due to the low price and a number of serious competitive advantages. So, the model had incredible performance for the price category and good cameras, so the minuses of the device were virtually unnoticed by the audience. The hero of today's review continues the series, but now the price tag has been significantly raised by the manufacturer, while the list of shortcomings has not decreased.

The appearance of the novelty is easily attributed to its main advantages. The stylish glass and metal case is adorned with an original quartet of photomodules, a 20 megapixel retractable front panel and a truly frameless 6.67-inch AMOLED screen . It’s hard not to fall in love with such beauty. But there are already questions to the screen. If the resolution is 2400x1080 pixels, good brightness and contrast will be approved by the buyer, then the standard image refresh rate of 60 hertz looks faded for the flagship.

But the technical characteristics did not disappoint. The phablet has a top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor , which is assisted in launching the most demanding applications by 6GB / 8GB of RAM and an Adreno 650 video accelerator. 3-4 years, you can without hesitation to set the maximum graphics settings literally everywhere. The internal storage is allocated 128 / 256GB , there is no microSD card slot in the device.

The main 64- (Sony IMX686), 13- (wide-angle lens), 5- (macro lens) and 2-megapixel (sensor for bokeh effect) modules will not be cause for delight. There is no optical zoom and stabilization, optics are not the most expensive, for really complex shooting scenarios, cameras are weak, blurry and an abundance of noise are possible. Autonomy is excellent thanks to the 4700mAh battery with support for fast charging. We note the presence of contactless payments , a separate headphone jack and a proprietary MIUI shell. The latter, however, has many haters. Thus, the device turned out to be quite controversial, given the overpriced. Without stereo speakers, protection against dust and moisture according to IP68, the 120-Hz AMOLED panel and optostab the gadget has every chance to fail in sales.
