Hello, recently I've decided on buying the pocophone f1, I'm currently living in Asia but will soon be moving to Canada (North Vancouver)*in the following month. I heard that the pocophone has some network compatibility limitations in Canada, however, I'm not quite sure what it means that the pocophone f1 doesn't have support for all bands in Canada, additionally, I heard that its 4G LTE compatibility is also really poor?*



I'm a really heavy user of the internet, and not being able to have the fastest internet may be a deal breaker to me, I'd really appreciate it if the people here could help clarify the difficulties I may encounter if I wish to use the pocophone f1 in Canada, thank you!
 
You will be straight out of luck trying to use the Poco F1 in Canada, mate. It has the following LTE bands:
1(2100)
3(1800)
5(850)
7(2600)
8(900)
20(800)
38(2600)
40(2300)
41(2500)

From what I can find the vast majority of carriers use 2 and 5, as well as some using 7 and/or 12, maybe 17.

So by missing out on even 1 band, I would have difficulties connecting to wifi services? Is that how you interpret the missing of the bands?
 
Wifi, no. You can have no matching bands and still use wifi just fine. But having only one or two 4G bands means you will either have very limited 4g connectivity or none depending on the signals in your area.

I have an Honor 8X. The main bands of my carrier are 2, 4, 5, 12, and 17. My phone only has 2, 4, and 5 of these bands. I still get good 4G service most everywhere unless I am in remote areas that only have the older band 12. With the Poco which only has band 5 I would only get 4G in the areas that have band 5 signal (which is newer).
