POCOPHONE gave away free calculators during the launch of the OnePlus 6T in India. They want the people to "do the math".

Xiaomi gives away free calculators during OnePlus 6T's launch

POCOPHONE wants people to do the math and see how much more the F1 offers for less. The OnePlus 6T has a launch price of 37,999 Rupees while the POCOPHONE F1 is priced at just 20,999 Rupees.

They also put up signs beside OnePlus's signs

POCOPHONE is emphasizing that Xiaomi was able to integrate the Snapdragon 845 into the F1, which is the same processor inside the OnePlus 6T, while keeping the price down. POCO India even tweeted "Never Settle for Overpriced" with "Never Settle" being OnePlus' slogan ever since.

Props to POCOPHONE for this trolling effort but OnePlus 6T offers some things that can justofy the price difference. For one, it has a more premium build having a glass back. It also has a better OLED display and an In-Display fingerprint sensor.

The POCOPHONE F1 did some compromises to keep the price down. It has a plastic back, an LCD display and a fingerprint sensor found at the back of the device. The price difference is huge, yes, but OnePlus 6T still shows that that difference is justifiable. The POCOPHONE F1 used in the comparison also has a smaller RAM and storage than the OnePlus 6T as well.

This is not the first time that tolling during a rival's launch event took place. A couple of weeks back, Huawei gave out free powerbanks during Apple's iPhone XS launch event.

Samsung also trolled Apple about the notch while OnePlus has been trolling the rest of the competition for quite some time as well.

What do you guys think? Is this a cheap move or a genius plan?
