Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Camera Samples: What Does $299 Get You?

While we know the phone is powerful, we were most interested in what kind of pictures it can produce—arguably a phone’s most important feature beyond the design.

The Pocophone F1 features a main 12MP f/1.9 camera with a pixel size of 1.4µm and phase detection autofocus, similar to the iPhone XS and Google Pixel 2. The second lens features a 5MP sensor with f/2.0 and a depth sensor, allowing users to utilize portrait mode capabilities.

The camera app itself is pretty barebones, offering a handful of different shooting modes and quick access to settings such as HDR, flash, and more—all pretty typical for a camera app. There’s also a feature to quickly apply a filter in real time, which is a nice touch and allows users to imbue some creativity.

Using the device around the office, the Pocophone F1’s camera was easy and enjoyable, not much different than using any other device. However, I did notice a few hiccups while navigating through different shooting modes—it froze up on me a few times. I can let it slide cause I was taking static photos of objects around our office, but If I were trying to take a picture of my dog or something that was moving, that wouldn’t be acceptable.
