Boys all right guys, I've got another comparison for you today, this one's between the Poco f2 pro and the one plus word. Now before I get into this, I should mention that I bought both devices with my own money- I'm not sponsored by either I'm not sponsored by Xiaomi sponsored by OnePlus. I must sponsor by anyone to this side, because the OnePlus is very slippery, and it keeps sliding I'm not sponsored by either one of these companies. These are my own personal devices, and I am just comparing it and sharing my opinion with you guys if you do not agree with me, that is your prerogative. This is my opinion and, if you're here, to hear what my opinion is of both devices as I've used both of them, then yeah, please do carry on watching this video. If you want to go mind made up, and it's going to be opposed by my opinion, then I don't know what to say uh.
I can't really do anything about that. Everyone's opinion is gonna, be different. This is my own all right. Let's get into this, I'm going to start off by saying I believe the Poco f2 pro. I don't believe my opinion.
Having used both of them is that the Poco f2 pro is the better device. It is the device I prefer it is my go-to phone. If much prefer using the vocal f2 pro to using the OnePlus note, and I will go into why I believe this to be the case, and then I will also show an uh an interview I did with my brother, who had a different opinion of my own and my girlfriend, who had a different opinion to my brother, just to show us a variety of different opinions based on personal tastes and personal needs, and what people look for in devices that they want to get okay. So why do I believe the OnePlus is the better device to the podcast for one the size. The screen size of the OnePlus is much smaller, not much smaller, but it is smaller than the Poco f2 pro noticeably.
So they might not look it when they're side by side, but when you hold in the hand it and or when you even look at it at a bit of a distance, because I tend to put my phone on the kitchen table while I'm doing stuff in the kitchen cooking washing dishes, whatever the case may be, I tend to have the phone on the table full screen watching YouTube video and I sort of watch for a bit of a distance yeah doing that with the OnePlus note. It's just not the same. It's quite a lot smaller, and it doesn't help that it has this cutout. Here I really don't like that. I just can't get over the hideous.
In my opinion, the pro has no such thing completely, completely clean, no imperfections on the screen. It's just a very, very nice screen in terms of looks again. If much prefer the Poco f2 pro. It just feels it is thicker. It is a thicker device, but it does have a bigger battery, and it is noticeably heavier than the plus.
The Poco is quite a bit heavier, but I quite like that. Quite like the feeling of solidity, when I pick up the Poco f2 pro, it's a very solid, like dusty, good feeling in terms of the build material. Well, the polka f2 pro is metal, and you can feel the cold like as important. Now I feel the coolness of the metal. When I pick up the OnePlus, I don't feel that it actually feels warm, which it can be a bit nasty, sometimes but uh yeah in terms of how it feels overall as a package, it feels perfect.
I'm not going to lie to you. The OnePlus note feels exceptionally well-made, and it's hard to tell apart from the warmness, I guess it's hard to tell that. It's actually plastic. It sounds plastic, but when you hold in your hand, it feels really solid, and it feels thin, which is, I guess it. Furthermore, it's nice that the thin feeling is nice, but I might prefer a solid feel.
I don't mind the thickness at all. Actually I quite like how it feels really substantial and the cool feel when I pick it up. It's very good. I really like the build quality of the crater pro in terms of screen really established. The Poco f2 pro is quite a bit not quite a bit it's a bit bigger than the OnePlus note, but in terms of the quality of this of the screen, there isn't much in it, but the OnePlus note does seem to be of a higher quality.
It has this it's hard to describe as what I've noticed on the OnePlus devices compared to the polo. I compared this to the OnePlus 7 pro. The video will be in the description, and it's the same thing here. The OnePlus screens tend to have this glossy quality to them. They look really nice very glossy.
I like the blacks. They, I feel like there's, probably a higher nitrate screen, because sometimes on certain images with blacks, the black is a lot better, which is interesting to say because of it, but the blacks are better on the OnePlus than the yellow and the polo. The Pogo has a tendency, sometimes in certain scenes, to crush the blacks a little the OnePlus I haven't noticed that on them on it at all, looks the OnePlus screen looks very good, that's not to say the Poco screen doesn't look very good. It looks very good and to my eye, the Poco screen is a lot more color accurate as well to the OnePlus, but overall, given the size advantage that the Poco f2 pro has, I prefer using the poker to pro screen to the OnePlus screen, even though the OnePlus just it just, has that little more quality to it. But overall I would go with a poker after pro, just because of the size and the lack of a cutout that cut out is very distracting for me.
It's just now. Listen now the elephant in the room here, the refresh rate 60 on the Poco f2 pro 90 on the OnePlus- and I said this before in my previous video, comparing the OnePlus 7 pro to the Poco f2 pro, the refresh rate is just a bit of a's. It's not a factor for me. I honestly couldn't care less like when I went to one, but of course I noticed that the smoothness of the OnePlus, but it's not a big deal for me honestly, using the 60, the 60 hertz on the Poco f2 pro it's whatever it doesn't. It doesn't make much of a difference I should mention.
I do have an iPad Pro right. This is my iPad Pro 120 hertz. So I do. I do know about high refresh rate screens. I do use an iPad Pro, and I'm telling you I just don't notice.
Furthermore, I have never once used my iPod pro moved to my OnePlus. Furthermore, I mean sorry to my Poco f2 pro and thought. Oh, my goodness I have. I have never once I don't even notice the 120 hertz on the iPad, it's just whatever it makes no difference to me. I guess when I'm writing with when I with a pencil, it's a lot.
It's its really smooth, and it's almost one-to-one really it's quite it's quite impressive, but day-to-day usage, the refresh rates is meaningless. To me. It really is, but if, if refresh rate is, is that important to you, then I guess you'd be looking at one plus note anyway, but if you're like me- and you don't want to give a damn about the refresh rates- I just don't honestly, then it's going to be the Poco f2 pro in that regard. Why else do I believe the OnePlus to be the best device? Well boys right? So in my previous video, I had comments about running this b tests, simultaneously being a bad idea or being whatever the case may be. So I thought this time I'll run them one at a time, and here are the results.
This is quite reminiscent of the results that were achieved by the OnePlus 7 pro compared to the program.2 pro OnePlus 7 pro just like the word did quite badly on this. Moving on to another reason, why I think the Poco f2 pros is superior to the OnePlus.7 pro is the user interface. This is mini 12, and this is oxygen OS on the uh OnePlus. In my opinion, oxygen OS is boring. It's absolutely boring.
If much prefer the aesthetics of mini 12. , here's the control center on the uh, so it's called, I don't know here's the control panel center, whatever the case may be on the UI 12 here it is only one plus boron. I have chosen to go with the split navigation. Furthermore, I mean split notification and um toggle menus under me, white off you have the option to use the old new 11 style. Have them combined, but I much prefer that and um yeah.
This is boring, absolutely boring. I really do not like the look of oxygen OS. I still prefer the look of my y12 too so oxygen, iOS and mini 12 has a lot more features than oxygen or west does so, for example, if I were to go into my Instagram feed, but for one you can have, did you see that you can have dual apps? Furthermore, I'm not sure if you can have that on here. You probably can, I don't recall, but anyway go on here. I have the option to then.
Let's say let me open eBay, floating windows. You don't have that on the OnePlus very handy, and you can pretty much open any app at all any up. You can just scroll through all the apps that you have downloaded. Furthermore, you can open any of them in floating window even games. I'm not sure why you don't do that, but you can that a bit.
That's because you can get but yeah you can do that, which is great. No such thing on the OnePlus. Another thing you can do on the new UI 12. You can see my Instagram is blurred out. You can do that when you go into the options for the app, as I just showed you just click on blood previews and now let me go into your multitasking previous blood.
Now these are just a few features that mini 12 has that are completely absolutely brilliant, that the Poco doesn't have. I think I'll do a separate video on my favorite features of mini, 12, and I'll put up a little date, but when it comes to user interface, mini 12 is far superior to just you know what, in my opinion, I much prefer all the additional features check. This out, you go into the calculator. Look at that closing calculator, make it more transparent, make it less transparent. It's brilliant! If much prefer that, and I like how mini 12 handles the keyboard no gap, but in the OnePlus puts a massive gap there.
I do not understand why OnePlus does this, but I absolutely hate it. It's just such a waste of screen real estate. It doesn't, I don't get it anyway, oh and dark mode. That's going to seasonable there and, as you can tell it's enabled here, dark mode affects the uh wallpapers, the super wallpapers you're, going to see it's like daytime. Now I don't want to put into dark mode it's nighttime now.
Amazing and dark mode has an impact on all apps. So, as you can see, I'm in dark mode, 101 plus, but Amazon isn't in dark mode. Look at that! It's knocking down here! Dark mode affects pretty much every app. Obviously, apart from, like you know, browsers cameras again, it comes down to preference in nighttime night mode, their OnePlus is superior in daytime shots. I prefer the look of the locos, the selfie camera.
Again. I prefer what the Poco does. Furthermore, I prefer his AI features. Furthermore, I prefer how it takes portrait shots. The cutouts are much better on the poker than they are on the OnePlus.
I prefer the user interface much prefer the user interface. You can get most things done without having to leave the camera. You are you try to do similar things on the polo. It takes you out of the out of the camera UI, and you lose your shot, composure or whatever the case may be. I hate how it takes you out of the shooting experience the polo.
You can do most things without having to do that. I prefer the pop-up camera because then I'm not using it just knowing the way this. This is ridiculous. I hate the heel cutter with the two. It's just excessive to me.
The micro camera is a joke on the Poco f2 pro it is. It is much better on the Poco when it comes to video recording, I think they're pretty much on par, but the one plus I mean the poke of 2 pro has the advantage of 4k 60, while the OnePlus doesn't. Oddly enough, the OnePlus would shoot 4k 60 on the front cameras, but the Poco f2 pro will only do 1080p on the front cameras so a bit of a toss up. But in my opinion I prefer the prefer the Poco f2 pro for the camera. So all right, this is 2x zoom.
The Poco doesn't support, recording or 4k in 2x zoom by the looks of it all right. The Poco doesn't support 4k, 60 or 30 on the front camera, so I'm just recording the OnePlus at 1080 30. All right in terms of battery the're, both good they'll both go through a day, but again the Poco f2 pro superior. It has a bigger battery, it's just what it is when it comes to charging speeds, don't care about charging speeds? I don't use the fast chargers because I'm trying to preserve the battery the batteries of these phones fast chargers degrade the batteries faster. So I don't use the fast charger the chargers are still in the box.
I use this much slower charger to charge it because again I want it to last longer so charging speeds eh, don't care, but I'm pretty sure they're on power when it comes to absolute power. The performance of the Poco f2 pro is just far superior to that of the OnePlus. The OnePlus I've watched so many reviews of people saying it performs perfect and there are no slowdowns or any of this or any of that. But I don't know about that because in my usage I've had many slowdowns, especially on some websites or just smart, switching through apps. Sometimes it just bogs down.
This is not supposed to be a speed test to see how long it takes to load up, but maybe I should do a speed, that's actually to see how long it takes to load up this page. So let me just let me just close this down incognito. Actually, I just closed down all the app all the year tabs. I don't want to close all the tabs on my programs to using them so open a new incognito, even with all those extra tabs open the one there book we have to price far, far faster than the OnePlus. It's not even close, there's no point trying to pretend otherwise, it's just not nothing close, except this accept that you see what the book of the pro is a lot whiter than the pluses.
The OnePlus is very warm even when it's been set to not it's still really warm okay, so when it comes to just navigating and scrolling through this website, let's find one there. Oh, look at that. The poker OnePlus is not doing too great. What's the advantage of your 90hz display, if this is how it performs on websites just no points, it's just smoother on the Pogo, even though it's got 60 and now the OnePlus is starting to listen. When it comes down to it, you can't, you can't deny the golf in the performance of these two devices you just can't.
The OnePlus is just not as powerful as the poker. The poker is far more powerful. It's got a snapdragon 865 and the OnePlus just hasn't, and that's all that needs to be said about that when it comes to the audio performance. Well, for one, the Poco has a headphone jack, oh and an IR blaster. Actually, while we add that handy feature, I use it, the Poco doesn't have I mean the OnePlus has neither of those, but they both have um downward firing speakers.
Neither of them are stereo speakers, but they're equally loud, but the Poco f2 pro has quite a bit more bass also notice how much room is taken up by the navigation there. Half my thumb compared to less than a quarter. Yeah anyway, have a bit more bass. If you hear more of the low end on d1 plus it's entirely missing, what does the OnePlus do better on the Poco f2 pro um? I guess you could make the argument for a 90 display, but again for me that isn't a factor, I'm not going to pick a phone because of his 90s display over another phone that has much better qualities overall and much better performance. For me, this is a device to go with.
Like I said I was going to do at the start of the video. I will interview my brother and my girlfriend to get their opinions and see if it's any different to my own. If you're wondering well, this is not um. This is nova launcher I'm using on both of them. I don't like the home setup of either of them, so I'm using nova launcher on both of them.
Much prefer that much cleaner. Oh, I get into the super wallpapers at that mini 12 is just the best and check out the uh they always on display. Oh, look that does not get old. If I was going to pick a phone for anything, it would be because of that I actually don't like it. I just really don't like using it.
If much prefer using it like, let's gravitate towards the Poco like if I was to pick up any one of these devices, I don't like picking this up. This feels it's thin sure it's really well-built yeah sure, but it doesn't feel substantial. I just like picking this up when I pick this up. It feels like a solid device. This is an absolute unit of a device.
Much prefer this love it. I genuinely love this phone plus. Not does nothing for me. It's really boring, really, really boring, and I don't like how their fingerprints isn't activated. You have to tap or press the power button before you can use it, but if you drop the one plus on the um on the Pogo, you just tap and then that's it straight in also.
You have wig category, so you wake it up. Look at that! It's just so cool! It's so cool anyway, solid phone, poker, f2 pro right so Gabriel. In your hand, right now is the OnePlus node. I guess my first question to you would be: what are your initial impressions well on how it looks or how it feels all the above. It looks great in my opinion.
I mean this. This little notch thing is not that big a deal to me. There's a sleek, looking phone, but I will say already there's a lot of fingerprints on the back. So obviously you need the case. Uh yeah nice weight to it.
It's a nice one. My initial impressions is that it's quite wide, it's quite thin um. It feels a bit cheap in the hand it doesn't feel quite metal like um, but yeah. That's my initial impression. Excellent.
Here's a nice one! Okay! Are you bothered about the fact that the frame is plastic? No, that's not the first. I did not notice the frames plastic. I did not notice. So not really excellent. I mean it's plastic.
Yes, it looks metallic to me. They did a good job. Is it is this? Yes, the first plastic doesn't bother you. No, it doesn't okay, so the frame being plastic has no impact on whether you would be. No, I wouldn't know it's.
I wouldn't know it was plastic. What do you make of the size of it? It's a nice size. I mean I've got pretty big hands. So for me this is a tad bit smaller than I would go for, but uh it's a decent size. The size is all right.
It's a decent size. I mean it seems quite short. Compared to the poker, but yeah, are you a fan of the pale cutter on the screen? Well, I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but again it's one of those things you just you stop noticing after you use it for a few minutes, it's a bit creepy, but now I'm not holding it. I've got used to it, but it's not the worst thing ever. What are your impressions of the screen? What the screen the display yeah, the bezels, are a bit thicker than I would like, but the display is absolutely fine from what I can see.
Just I mean it's just fine, it's not great! It's not perfect. I wouldn't buy it for the screen. Let's put it that way: um the screen's all right, pretty bright, yeah um, nothing more to that. Apart from that noise that neighbor's making does the screen feel any different when you're using it to what you used to? No, I mean the whites. The whites are not as white as I'm used to, but it doesn't seem as white as the polka does.
It seems a bit more. Nothing! That's jumping out, apart from kind of the whiteness of it okay, but how does it feel when you scroll in and all that stuff I mean this page- is taking quite a while to load, but it's not too bad. It doesn't feel like it's going to doesn't feel mega fast, but it falls like okay for normal use. Okay, you're just scrolling in through Instagram, okay, you have a Poco f2 pro. Do you know in purple now? How do the two compare in terms of feel on the hand? Okay, so I prefer the feel of this one.
Okay, can I mean the Poco is heavier. That is like significantly heavier. That's true, which for me, is a problem. I mean the button. Placement is better on a Poco because you know having them on the same side.
You're not going to be like look at this right. There's the volume button here right next to the power button on the other side- and you naturally hold the phone like this. So if you want to volume up volume down, screenshot, yeah, and then they've got this thing to switch between vibration, silence ring, but it's got quite a tension to it. So when you do when you're doing it, you're going to be pressing the button pressing the volume button, and you've noticed that myself yeah it's overall I'd, say this one, even with that volume being on that side feels better a lot better. Well, first, the apocrypha is amazing in the hand it feels robust.
It looks expensive. I love how the side is red. It just helps. Oh, you mean the power button, the power button. I've never noticed that before because I have a case online um.
I love how it's seamless, there's no camera notch. Um yeah, the poker just looks amazing. It's just the edge to edge thing going on the screen and the poker. How does it compare to the OnePlus note? Okay, okay, so I mean they have similar brightness. I don't know if you can tell yeah they're quite similar in brightness, but the whites are a lot better on the Poco all right, so the Poco is a bit smoother.
But again, I'm not going to take much away from this for that because so which one is which one feels faster my pocket, the Poco feels faster yeah. The screens were faster than the poker yeah. So my question are to you: how important is the UI? It's not important. I mean unless it's atrocious, I mean the Poco wins every single time. Just I even just want to accidentally swipe the other side, but I realize the camera is there, but yeah it wins every time this is boring.
Um, it's bland. I mean yeah, I'm okay, there's a notification that came through. Let's see how that looks, it just looks normal, but I'm definitely preferred the polo. I think it's nicer. It's got way more features on it like yeah, the poker.
Definitely right. So I guess that brings me on to me UI 12 versus oxygen OS on the OnePlus um. There's a number of features that mini 12 has that the OnePlus just doesn't have um of these features are the features that are dealbreakers, yeah, for example, when I'm at work I can go on YouTube and listen to like classical music or whatever. I want to listen to podcasts or whatever, and the main feature is that you can go on YouTube, and then you can basically turn the screen off and the battery's still playing. I mean the video's still playing that's a deal.
Breaker I feel like this feature is a bit of a dealbreaker. I don't know I just really like how it looks thanks for watching my comparison, and I'll be seeing you in the next video, where I do the top 10 features of the of mini 12. Oh, I forgot to mention the haptics on the polo. F2 pro are far superior, they are far stronger, and they are way more nuanced like when you go into the toggles, the clicks you get when you tap on the toggle. It feels like you like, actually clicking the button.
It is impressive, very good stuff, and then you get subtle. Taps and feedbacks, and certainly like if you go on Instagram, and you load up your feed, you get a little some in some screens. You get little taps like when you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page when it hits the top or bottom you get like a little click, a little tap, very good, great stuff. I know that tells me might come across someone some sort of Xiaomi fan, but okay, fine yeah. I am a chili fan, but I am not biased in this video.
Furthermore, I only have this Xiaomi air purifier, because it's great- and I only have the Poco f2 pro, because it's great if that brand was great, I would have that brand. It just so happens that it shot me all right, good. You.
