Pocophone F1
It is probably comparing churras with merino, between the smart device A and B. But before acquiring any of them, or others, you should ask yourself some questions. Which one do I need? Which one do I want? How much money can I spend? What am I going to do with it? Am I interested in the artificial intelligence capabilities of the camera and if it recognizes me, for example, in the dark?
The first, terminal A, is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and the second, terminal B, is Xiaomi’s Pocophone F1. At the moment I can say, in terms of its intelligent features, is that the facial recognition authentication system of the Pocophone F1 is infallible, even in poor lighting conditions, something that a terminal presented with great fanfare at the Mobile World cannot say. Congress last February, and with a price that was very close to a thousand euros.
