Let’s go back to the OnePlus One. Same idea, flagship killer. OnePlus left its old positioning, Poco takes over. Simple as that, the new flagship killer.
Even MKBHD is liking it.

I’m guessing people are just in denial since they have spent more/a lot more for basically the same/less hardware than the Poco.
I don’t think anyone is in denial of anything. The whole flagship killer thing is a bit of a joke. Sounds like you either own one of these or are rooting for the company to have success. That’s great, but this phone will never replace a flagship. The people it is marketed to are all in poor countries where a Note 9 costs as much or more than they make in a month. For them, this is a hell of a deal. For someone who has disposable income, why would they buy this phone? For $500 or so, you can get a oneplus or a 2017 flagship that will wipe the floor with this phone. It’s a jack of all trades and a master of nothing. If it were here I would probably consider it for my 10 year old, but I don’t think anyone would buy this over a oneplus 6 if they cost the exact amount. Same reason someone buys a Kia instead of a Honda. Budget pricing is the only reason this phone is even being talked about.Let’s go back to the OnePlus One. Same idea, flagship killer.

Poor countries?
Don’t talk semantics. This phone is marketed mainly to poor countries like India, period. Let me ask you this. IF the oneplus 6 and the pocophone were the same price, would anyone buy the poco? What does it offer over oneplus besides price?
1000 dollar iphone x may cheap in us but 1000 dollar in other country is luxurious phone . Even me buy old redmi 5 instead of poco. Why even waste money if not playing games and the market of google pay,android pay,apple pay not fully. Today everybody wanted to be own/next E-Wallet system.
Semantics? You're making a claim that Poco F1 is only for poor people/countries. I gave you the facts. So more like you're just pulling straws and using non-sense analogy (eg cars), and being a douche (by keep equating Poco to poor countries).
MKBHD says its a good phone for the price. He never said it was a flagship killer, nor did he say he recommends it over a flagship phone. He pointed out the tradeoffs for your $300 like a plastic back, no wireless charging, no NFC for Android Pay, just average camera pics with no quality HDR, only a 1080p LCD screen, no HD vids in Netflix and Amazon, and a few other things I can't remember now. You do get a 4000mah battery, SD 845 and 6GB of RAM. <- These are the only redeeming qualities. And then you have to deal with Mi UI as their skin, which looked okay, but I would prefer stock Android.Let’s go back to the OnePlus One. Same idea, flagship killer.

And who said he did? I only said even him, a guy that is used to flagship only devices most of the time, actually like the Poco F1. That's all.
You keep saying that, but it doesn’t add up. The oneplus 3 was $399. The top flagship at the time was the galaxy s7 edge and the pixel xl. The oneplus 3 was much closer to being their equal than the poco is to the current flagship phones. An s7e had a better screen and camera, as well as micro sd card support and ip rating. Otherwise, they were very close. Oxygen os was actually far superior to touchwiz.
The poco is a jack of all trades and a master of nothing. The ONLY thing it is best at is being the cheapest phone with a snapdragon 845 and 6gb of ram. The screen isn’t amoled, the camera isn’t very good, it’s not built very solid, it doesn’t run a version of android that is as smooth as oxygen os, and I don’t believe it’s even usb c. It also lacks nfc, which isn’t an issue to me but I’ve read many complaints about it. Just face it. It’s a cheap entry level phone with the top processor and a good amount of ram. Tell me one REAL flagship it can compete with? You keep going back to it being a flagship killer and such great value. Now days people put a very high priority on camera and a nice oled screen. This phone has neither. I would love to pick one up for my kid, but not because it’s as good as even an s8+, but because it’s cheap and fast.And who said he did?

Oh, your champion OnePlus 6 doesn't have wireless charging either.
About the lack of HD Netflix (DRM) support, the OnePlus 5 and 5T didn't have it either out of the box (have to be sent back to service center be updated), but did people even know/care? And many many phones don't have that either. Yet for some reason, suddenly it is being brought up specifically against the Poco F1 as if that's the ultimate dealbreaker.
Let's face it. The Poco F1 is a disruptor. It makes many people uncomfortable. No longer people can claim their status for having an SD845 phone. This is why I love Xiaomi. They are equalizing the price gap of Android flagship phones to a sensible range.
This guy is a poco phone apologist. He either has one and is defending it or he is just trying to be a contrarian. Like I said, for $400 usd it is not even a contender. The poco phone is a cheap phone that offers a few high end specs, but the total package is lackluster. If it was a great phone they wouldn’t be giving it away for $300. There’s no shame in admitting it’s a solid budget phone.
the mui is a big changer actually. It seem nicer then my huawei nova lite 8 update compare to mui 9.6.4 nougot my redmi 5.
The budget sector, Xiaomi are going kill them, some more.
Absolutely. I can't argue with that reasoning. I def agree that this is a great phone for many people that don't care about stuff like wireless charging, NFC, quality high end photo's, etc. If you are looking for a sub-$500 phone, for the price and what you get, it's a phone that should be looked at with high consideration.
