Is it worth it? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hi i just wanted to ask if its worth buying the pocophone f1?
I read some problems with the touch screen is that a thing? any other problems that i should becarefull?
Im Between mi8, f1, and honor 10 which one you think i should chhose?

The touch screen issue is fixed in the latest beta it should roll out in the next stable build ~ 1 month. I never had this issue, i have tried many beta and stable builds and no issue with touch. Other than that this phone is solid. I live in Europe, bought it local, don't regret the decision.

Thanks for the answer.
So I guess it's random if you get the touch screen issue or not.

The phone performance is outstanding. However my only issue is with the screen: is oversensitive and it has a notch (I don't like it). The notch can be hid using developer options, so that is solved for me xD.
But again, the phone performance is godlike.

If you can afford the xiaomi mi 8.. then go.for the mi8..

Poco F1 Multitouch Problem Is Probably A Hardware Issue

I was checking out other phones that had this Multitouch issue, it includes Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro, Zenfone Max Pro M1, etc. Do you know what these all have in common? The IPS display, this is also cited by Beembom and since Xiaomi is not responding to any thread that's created for this issue, I suspect more and more than this is a hardware issue.
Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro still has this issue and it even is present on custom ROM's. The only phone that solved this problem was Max Pro M1, Xiaomi has not got the brains to solve it. MiA1 (my last device) that has a very inferior processor never had this issue, because it has a LTPS LCD.
Start reporting and ask about this before it's too late. Maybe they are waiting to make enough money before telling about this issue.
Since Xiaomi is not saying anything, I have already reached few reviewers and media companies to get Xiaomi's comment on this and have lodged several complaint against Flipkart and Xiaomi for this probable fraud because selling a device showing a point that the latest processor is being used and coupling it with a useless interfacing hardware is less or more a fraud.
I hope Flipkart/Xiaomi fix this issue (if it's a software issue) else refunds me my money.

Can confirm present on my redmi note 5 pro but haven't tried anything outside miui.
Is the display and touch response so bad that's to be real deal-breaker? Or is it common to all IPS display phones under 25k?
My POCO F1 order is in transit, and I was wondering whether I should cancel it before delivery. Please advise.

The only phone with IPS that had the issue fixed via OTA is Zenfone Pro M1.
Few Nokia 7 Plus has it too, but the company fixed those units via some repair.
Poco F1 seems to have this issue out of the box and is not even replying or making any statement regarding this, but it's their common attitude they even did this with mi4i, they launched Mi4i by saying it's a flagship, that time too I bought the phone in the first sale and the device had a major issue related to SD615 heating problem, in the next OTA they said that they have fixed the issue, you know what they did? they permanently disabled 2 cores and when users went mad over this, they reenabled the cores again and in the end the phone got so bad due to their bad optimization that I was getting 1 hour SOT after only 1 years of usage, it's the Mi4i thing all over again.

I understand it's a very lucrative deal, I have got the phone all packed up to return it or sell it. What I will recommend is, wait until they promise to fix it.

I used it for week coming from OnePlus 5t I felt screen was to lagging compared to 5t plus the UI has a lot of bug I know they will fix all bugs but if I were you I would pay the extra 200$ and get the OnePlus 6
For me, the intended usage was for 2 years with the phone. And if they have issues with touch and display (the most important and used tangible part of phone) it's not worth buying even if the deal is awesome. I currently use Lenovo P2, having an AMOLED screen, so not sure about IPS display and associated issues. Damn, I was really excited to get my hands on this POCO. Hope they will rectify it soon. But for now..... I have CANCELLED my ORDER.

Used rn5p for 6 months before selling off and buying this phone. Never had any kind of multitouch issue on rn5p, F1 however had the issue, got fixed after I turned off swipe to screenshot. As for lags, this phone HAS some weird problems like frame drops, but that's not related to multitouch issue.

The framedrop is actually the multitouch issue. When you try to aim while moving the screen seems to skip right? that's the multitouch issue and not framedrop. If you are having actual framedrops then that can be easily solved by an update while I am not sure about multitouch because I tried everywhere from Twitter to XDA, none of Xiaomi representative is replying about it.

According to the users on the RN5 subforum on XDA, the RN5 started having that problem after 9.5.6 or 9.5.14 update, they even migrated to Lineage but the issue still persisted.

And that means it's not a hardware issue. As for mine I jumped to miui 10 beta, and most probably didn't installed 9.5.6.

That's not multitouch issue, and I don't play pubg. Had some problem while playing some not graphic intensive games, fixed by turning off swipe to screenshot, and then reboot.

I can only hope that it's H/W issue, but shouldn't Xiaomi reply to my tweets and bug reports?

where to turn off swipe to screenshot ?
You claim the multi-touch is a hardware issue, and blame the IPS display for it?
You DO realize that the IPS display and touch digitizer are two physically different components, right?
This thread doesn't make sense, it's unscientific speculation.

Of course they should have replied. As far as logic goes, I THINK it's a software related bug, also could be a hardware thing, most probably it's not.
Again, I think F1 has very sensitive to touch response, typing on this phone isn't quite ideal, as it detects my finger even 2mm above screen. Overall it's smoother than my usual rate, not quite ideal for ME, need to make the sensitivity lower.

Poco F1 Screen Bleeding Issue

I am planning to sell off my Nokia 7 plus and get a Poco F1. However, I have read a lot of complaints regarding screen bleeding issue.
Since you guys are already using the device, I would request you to kindly let me know how many of you have got a Poco F1 with screen bleeding issue.
Thank you!!
Their is screen bleeding. But it's hardly noticable

I think the 7 plus is better than poco, except the processor. Yes the screen bleeding is real, but it's not that noticeable.

I also reqd somewhere that chinese smartphone companies use cheap motherboard in order to save money. And that's why most of their smartphones start having issues after a few days/months. I don't know if it's true. But my experience with Xiaomi was good till 10 months before I started having ghost screen issue on my Mi A1 and forced to sell it off. That's why I was asking.

I don't know about that, but my friend still use Mi 3 and 1st gen Mi Pad. He said that he never had any problem. The only issue I have about poco is when I got no signal coverage, after that I have to turn on and turn off airplane mode for the internet connection to work again. I heard that it's been an issue for xiaomi device for a long time. Oh, and the camera has no OIS, hoping that Poco F2 will have it.

Does the global version have the touch screen issues?

Title.
Comment ONLY if you have the global version of the phone. Thank you
I believe it the build date is November 2018 or newer, there should not be any screen bleeding due to improved quality control.
As for touch issues, they have a software update in the current beta and next stable version which will apparently remove this issue.
I bought my global version one from an AliExpress seller in Dec 2018, no idea what build date is, I get the occasional touch issue when typing and the app closes suddenly (pain in the ass when it happens) but happens so occasionally that it's a non-issue. No other issues from mine.

Not yet, I'm not using the betas. Just waiting for the stable version which is due at some point this month.
It should include widevine L1 support, no touch issues, notch notifications, 4k60fps recording and some other improvements so looks like a decent update.

Have you had any other issues? I want to buy the phone but what concerns me is the touch issues that the phone has.

Not many issues otherwise. It just takes some time to understand MIUI and adjust the settings to your needs.
You might want to wait until the next stable firmware update to know whether touch issues still persist

If you were to change...

Hi folks I just shattered the screen of my Redmi Note 3 SD version (RN3). I had this phone since early 2016 and though it's still working and I could prolly do a service job on it for $50 and extend its life to a year or so I feel sticking to this phone any further wouldn't be to my advantage.
So I'm in the market for a new phone and I would really love to hear your precious advise so I may get the best available option for my hard earned bucks.
My budget is around $350. I'm not a brand fan boi, I don't mind going for unknown brands if the build quality is there. B/C with a good build quality you can get the best out of your phone under XDA. So when I go for a smartphone the features I pay attention to are:
1-If the phone can handle recent games. If a phone can handle recent games odds are high that it will perform well in everyday life.
2-It must have a great community under XDA so that if the manufacturers aren't arsed to push updates, you can still get the best out of your phone by for e.g flashing a custom rom or the Google cam or flash the latest security patch and so on.
3-The camera specs should be good (not expecting pixel3 stuffs or p30 results), but should be able to take good shots when I go on road trips.
Having said that, phones that have caught my eye so far are the Huawei Y9(2019 version) and the Xiaomi Poco Phone F1. So what do you lads think!
The Huawei Y9 is out as per your stated requirements as they don't even allow bootloader unlocking. There might be unofficial methods. Poco F1 looks to be the best choice but I don't know if the initial issues like backlight bleeding, touch latency etc have been fixed. Redmi Note 7 Pro is another decent option but the price difference between its 6GB model and Poco F1 base variant is too little. Realme has opened up BL unlocking but the pace of development doesn't seem very encouraging. Otherwise the Realme 3 Pro appears to pack solid hardware. Dunno when the Poco F2 will be launched.

Thanks for input. I though pretty much the same Poco F1 would be the best option!

Wait for Mi A3 . not sure its launching date. it is android one device. Bootloader unlocking is very easy for android one phone.
Updates will given by google and not xiaomi. Also u will get 3 android updates. Spec will be same like rn7 pro.
Or buy rn7 pro. It has QC 4.0 charging and 4000mah battery.
From Kenzo, I used Tissot which is Mi A1 and now lavender which is Redmi Note 7.
Redmi Note 7 aka lavender as of now has very minimal development going on based on xda threads available. But the good thing is that it supports treble so gsi will provide you with a lot of custom rom and me myself is using a GSI now. Violet aka Note 7 Pro on the other hand has a better development than lavender. It has great camera too considering you are using gcam to full utilize the camera and also lavender's camera is Greta as well but not as good as violet. Lavender has Snapdragon 660 and violet has Snapdragon 675.

Considering Realme 7

I'm considering realme 7 as my old phone (poco f1) developed hardware problems. Can anybody give me pointers how is the phone (india edition)?
Seems there is not much community support which is a bummer :crying:
Bro it has several issues like realme UI lag even you play subway suffer it has touch issue problem my phone got battery drain issue , heat issue so i suggest you to better go with Redmi note 9 pro max in diwali sale. The only thing i like on realme 7 is camera rest is disappointing
Brother honestly saying I'm using this phone R7 since last week , I haven't came through any major bugs that could be a deal breaker for me but yes I have noticed once or twice(only - not persistent) Ghost touch on my handset unless that using it seamlessly as daily driver .
Actually the thing which is now bothering me is the REALME.UI . Nothing wrong with the phone , on paper specifications/Hardwares provided are top notch at the price point I got this phone( RS.12700 - 6/64) only development sucks , I like stock Android Pixel experience kind of ROM & this Realme ui sucks with lots of bugs and poor Ram Management.
Thanks bros. Dropped idea of realme 7
Main reason was lack of community support for realme phones in general. Realme 6 users still also struggling to get proper root which is scary.
Got my poco repaired instead, hopefully it will last.
