In this camera comparison, we take up the latest $300 Xiaomi Pocophone vs. Xiaomi Mi 8 vs. Samsung Galaxy S9 to see if the cheaper $300 Pocophone can live up to flagship cameras. For this camera comparison, I used many of the challenging low-light and street light situations that tests out the camera’s sensor and processing abilities.
Overall, I was rather impressed with how well the Xiaomi Pocophone kept up with both the Mi 8 and Galaxy S9. The Pocophone seems to have identical camera sensor and camera lens as the Mi 8 as results were nearly identical in bright light but suffered in low-light from not having OIS like the Mi 8. While you will still do much better with the Mi 8 or Galaxy S9, at $300, Xiaomi Pocophone delivers more value than any other smartphone on the market today.
