Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

M. Brownlee gave a good description of Google's approach to the term mid-range.

2018's Pocofone took a flagship processor and battery, tapos saved on everything else.

The Pixel 3A has an OLED Screen + Flagship Camera + Guaranteed 3 years OS updates. (Android One Devices only get 2 years) Tapos tipid na sa lahat.

Other than Google's Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S and Note lang ang alam kong device na nakakatanggap ng 2 major Android updates (may mga kilala akong naka S8 na nakatanggap na ng Pie this month), kaso Pie is 9 months old... Yung mga bumili ng S8, naka S10 na ngayon.

You can still get flagship-grade photos from the Poco using a modified Google Camera app, pero aside from that di ko talaga type yung ROM nila.

I would say that the Pocophone F1 is a better value with it's flagship processor over the Pixel 3A. Unless your primary reason for getting a phone is the camera, I think the Pocophone will retain it's snappiness over a longer period than the mid tier Pixel.

The problem with the first gen Poco is optimization, as mentioned in numerous reviews it doesn't seem to fully utilize the flagship SOC's potential. Siguro by now the Poco team might have ironed out some quirks and bugs. Pero sana baka mas okay sa 2nd gen na.
