Samsung Galaxy A7 vs Xiaomi Poco F1: Design
Good design is important for customers. The Poco F1 comes with a plastic body, and a notch at the front. It doesn’t look or feel premium in any way, even though the plastic body is pretty strong.

Samsung Galaxy A7 vs Xiaomi Poco F1: Display
With the Galaxy A7, Samsung plans on bringing flagship features to the mid-range devices. Apart from giving the phone a premium design, the company has also included a Super AMOLED 6-inch display on the new phone. AMOLED displays have better color reproduction, viewing angles, and better blacks.
Compared to that, the Xiaomi Poco F1 comes with an IPS LCD panel, which isn’t as good as the Samsung panel. Also, a lot of users have been facing display bleed issues with this phone, which isn’t nice.

Another great feature about the Galaxy A7, is its triple-rear camera setup. It is superior to the Poco F1, and will result in better photos. The phone features a 24MP primary RGB sensor, an 8MP ultra wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP depth sensor. It can record 4K videos at 30fps, and basically provide better photos. On the front, there’s a 24MP selfie camera.
The Poco F1 comes with a regular dual-camera setup, with a primary 12MP sensor, and a secondary 5MP sensor. Images from this phone are quite decent in daylight, but is bad in low-light. A 20MP camera is available for selfies.
