Here are the advantages of each smartphone:
Pocophone F1 Armored Edition
Honor Note 10
The Honor Note 10 definitely bags the display aspect as it is equipped with a slightly larger screen. Don’t get me wrong, the Pocophone F1 still has a nice display. However, the former is the ideal pick for anyone who wants the biggest screen possible.
Since the Honor Note 10 comes with CPU and GPU turbo technology, we can’t say for now if it is better performing than the Pocophone F1. However, we can safely say that users can go to either one of them for quality performance and gaming experience. Both devices also have a liquid cooling system so rest assured that their temperatures will be greatly regulated.
The Honor Note 10 has a higher rear camera resolution but the Pocophone F1 gains the advantage of having a higher front camera. Do note that image quality is not solely dependent on just resolutions. We’ve yet to take sample shots of the Note 10 but we already have images for the Pocophone F1.
Battery-wise, both smartphones have fast-charging technologies but the Honor Note 10 gains the advantage of having a larger capacity. However, it’s not all about the numbers so we’re yet to know which device lasts longer.
Two of the biggest advantages of the Pocophone F1 Armored edition is its Gorilla glass and Kevlar aramid fiber body which provides more durability.
The Pocophone F1 Armored Edition is priced at RS29,999 (~Php 22,930) while the Honor Note 10 variants are priced at:
For durability and storage, the Pocophone F1 is the better pick while the Honor Note 10 is the right choice for a better viewing experience and larger battery capacity. What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
