LG Superfan, 28 Jul 2018I wonder what will xiaomi cut to reduce price Mi 8 is around $480 and has almost similar specsOne big difference is the LCD display that the Pocophone uses. I would wager they found a much cheaper display maker than Samsung which supplies the screen for the Mi8. Other than that I don't know what differences there are but screen is one big difference.
Nick, 28 Jul 2018Is this Mi 8 global version?No. This phone is from a brand new series. This phone for one has an LCD display rather than AMMOLED that the Mi8 has. Other differences I don't know but the screen is a big differentiator.

"According to a new report the Pocophone F1 will launch at around €420 for the 6/64GB model and €460 for the 6/128GB version"
420 euro translates into $490. I hope its wrong but I got the price from that article.
Cheapest, so I expect it is below $400 at least.
But I feel bad for those who bought the Zenfone 5Z already. Just when they thought it already could be as cheap as a SD845-powered device is, this comes at even lower one.

Why can't phone companies release at most 3 phones a year? A budget, a midrange and a high end. What's with all this smartphone over population. A phone is released every week, why?
Andy, 28 Jul 2018Still won't have a sd card slot or a headphone jack so I still won't careI could forgive the lack of sd card if the battery is at least 4000 mAh, but I'll never forgive the lack of headphone jack on any smartphone (whatever the OEM or the hardware).
