Xiaomi’s new Poco F1 undercuts rivals with a low price and high-end processor

Xiaomi has long sold devices that punch above their price class, but now the company is taking the bang for your buck even further. Pocophone is the company's new budget-focused brand that will be used first in India before coming to other parts of the world. The first Poco device is the F1, which has flagship features, including a top-of-the-line processor, but will sell for even less than many of Xiaomi's already aggressively priced devices.

The Poco F1 is packed with specs like a high-end Snapdragon 845 chip and a substantial 4,000mAh battery. It's got a 6.18-inch 1080p display with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio.

The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems.
