The Pocophone F1 runs on a Snapdragon 845 (10 nm) SoC with an Adreno 630 to handle graphics.

It features a 6.18" IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen screen with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 and a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels.

The Pocophone F1 has dual rear cameras based on Sony's Exmor RS (stacked CMOS) IMX363 1/2.55" sensor with 12 MP, ƒ/1.9 aperture and 1.4 μm pixel size.

The secondary camera acts as a depth sensor with 5 MP, aperture ƒ/2.0 and pixel size of 1.12 μm and a dual-LED flash.

The camera has a manual mode as well; users can adjust white balance (presets and light temperature), set a shutter speed (1/1000s to 32s) and ISO (100-3200).

A software update in January 2019 added 960fps slo-mo video recording and night mode.

[11] At the front, the device features a 20 MP selfie camera with ƒ/2.0 aperture and 0.9 μm pixel size, which has HDR software and analytic capabilities coupled with 2 μm large-pixel (4-in-1 Super Pixel) technology.

Some users of the international version of the phone reported issues related to an oversensitive screen.
