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).
And the OnePlus is not selling at $300 right?
OnePlus started the Flagship killer term. Now they have a new challenger.
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.
Which 2018 flagship phones is the poco neck and neck with? Just because it has a snapdragon 845 and 6gb of ram doesn’t put it on the same level as any flagship.
Someone in America (where I’m from, so that’s what I’m going with) would be far better suited to take the $400 they would need to import a poco and spend it on something else. You can get a brand new Lg V30 for under $400. You can get a used galaxy s8, s8+, oneplus 5, oneplus 5t, iPhone 7+ and many more phones for the price of a poco. All of them are flagship quality phones. I’m not being a hater, I’m just saying that for $400 you can get a lot more phone than the poco offers. If ALL you want is 6gb of ram and an 845 then go for the poco. I would personally get a 5T over it and not look back.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Dealing with a lot of those set backs is not living in denial, and I consider the Poco to have quite a bit less hardware and software features that I would want, regardless of the $300 pricetag.
I would rather get the One+ 6T and pay $500 to get everything I want in a phone. But that's just my opinion.
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.
