[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] supervis0r:
For me, scrolling through things like settings or my Spotify playlist was very smooth and responsive but especially when scrolling through a WhatsApp chat it felt very sluggish (when I swiped down within a chat, let it scroll by itself and then put my finger down to stop at a specific point. The latency between my finger touching the display and the chat stopping scrolling always felt very high).

This improved a little by going from 9.6.14.0 (i think) to 9.6.22.0 and then quite a lot by disabling MIUI Optimizations.

I still keep MIUI Optimizations on since it makes the UI scale better.

I have high hopes that this is a software problem and will be gone at last with the Android Pie, MIUI 10 upgrade.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Pankaj_gehloach:
Well after installing the custom RoMs , touch is stilla pathetic. I don't feel the smoothness which I used to feel in my one plus 5. so does that mean its hardware fault..?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] anon1135:
I think it is most likely hardware problem. Refresh rate is probably listed normally the same as other phones that don't have this problem so it's hard to know for sure

Mi post about their miui 10 beta 2, their is written that ghost and multi touch problem will be solved. If miui beta 2 solved these issues then I will install it manually. https://en.miui.com/thread-3935216-1-1.html

I post about the touch issues to poco India in twitter and they replied me to DM to us with contact number and miui version of my device, our team will call you.

Lets see, will they call or not.

Those who are telling that I don't have these types of touch issues, they should try and test my next line..

"When you get notifications( more than 5) then swipe down the notification bar and remove a notification one by one by swiling right or left, see the result. Do it sppedily.

Im my case 5 had removed out of 8 notifications, after it swipe as up( but I did right swipe to remove notification) "

Do these test and reply me. I tested with 3 Poco f1 and same problem occurred.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] supervis0r:
So I tried to take a look at touchscreen responsiveness

With my old phone , I recorded me using the F1 with the App "Touch Screen Test" by Siriuth (and also the developer thing where you can see exactly where you touch the screen).

I then looked at how many frames the F1 lags behind my motion and came to a delay of about 110ms (+/- 5 or 10, idk i tried my best) (avg. framerate of the video was 119fps)

According to a image i took from this page (macrumors.com)

That'd be about average or maybe a little better.

So that means it's a software problem, that the F1 feels a lot more unresponsive, right?

https://youtu.be/_4yC2--e2BQ all Pocophone have this issue ! I want to sold mine... Scrolling is very bad, input lag is very high ! Poor touch screen ! It's an hardware issue because this problem it's same at gsi rom...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] denzel09:
LOL
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] flo90:
Why ? I have this smartphone ! It's true ! You don't have this problem ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] denzel09:
Obviously not. You can check all tech/phone forums here in Italy (and not only) and no one has this problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] arijit4785:
I have test with 3 poco f1 and all have same touch issue... It might be solved by software update.

@denzel09 look this http://en.miui.com/thread-3990468-1-1.html ! It's not fake ! This problem it's true ! Probably caused by tianma touch panel.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ronald_loulan:
Yea, I have this issue and able to simulate the problem using Real Drum.

The most annoying thing about this problem is that it effects typing and gaming experience which I use alot.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] arijit4785:
Do factory reset your device. Before factory reset, do backup your data. I already did and getting better touch accuracy (not perfect) . Actually I am telling you after factory reset and using over 20 hours. Till now I am getting better touch response than before. I got call from poco India support( as I send complain against touch issue.) , they told me to do that.

I don't play games. So I don't tell about multi touch issues. Actually I was getting some touch response problem, means when I tried to swipe left it worked as swipe up or down........ Or swipe right and works as swipe up or down..

Now getting better response after factory reset.

Lets see what happens after few more days.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] arijit4785:
After 2days of use, same touch issue is occurring.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] rehankumar:
I don't have miltitouch issue or ghost touch issue but scrolling is extremely weird, it does not lag but it's no where near as snappy as my 2 year old zuk z2.

Is it a software issue or should I initiate a refund from flipkart as I am still in the return period.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Xares:
The touch is slower than in a samsung s4. Is it normal? It can be checked with the "MultiTouch Tester" application. Dragging your finger across the screen you see the delay.

Is it a software or hardware problem? I'm in miui 9 official
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] karpacha:
The latest update seems to indicate that it's a software problem:

http://en.miui.com/thread-4075875-1-1.html

Hopefully they've actually fixed the issue now. This is the only issue that worries me about poco.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] hallohallo222:
Hey, I am really thinking to buy the poco f1, but doesn't the smoothness of scrolling just depend on the ROM/firmware installed on the phone? I.e. a solid custom ROM from xda developers should normally do it?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] raza ali29:
it's just a software issue nothing else.

it requires quick dragging speed of fingers for smooth scrolling.

let's see if it gets improved in next update.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Xares:
I think that with miui 10 the touch has improved.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] mejgs:
Smoothness is a little bit better with MIUI 10, but nowhere near as my Mi6, which simply flies in comparison to Poco. I hope Xiaomi will fix these issues.

In this moment, if somebody is thinking of replacing their Mi6 with Poco, I would suggest to wait, only noticable difference will be the battery life, which is also quite good on Mi6 btw, but you get more compact device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] oldbrat:
Scrolling was terrible on MIUI. I'm on Los 16 now, and problem is gone away, silky smooth.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] bAsem.Seif:
what about typing lag.. is it gone too?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] oldbrat:
Didn't notice any typing lags either
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] In_a_state:
There is a clear scrolling difference between scrolling on the screen side vs scrolling in the middle, on Miui at least (my bootloader isn't unlocked yet), no matter what app or Miui area you're scrolling in. However, Touch Screen Test app shows all presses are registered on all parts of the screen when doing a scrolling movement so this must be a software issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sanjay0501:
It seems to be software based. Just updated to beta 8.10.18 and major problem with edge scrolling and touch on keyboard is gone .

Maybe by the time they release a stable 10 it would be good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Valerie Green:
Thanks for the information

Even my friend has the same issue with his Poco phone, I am sure this would really help him.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Triparadox:
Stock ROM is not very smooth in terms of when scrolling. Animation is kind of choppy a bit. You just can't get it right even with developer option because it'll be either too quick or too slow. Something you have to live with unless you opt for another ROM (rooting the device).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] darkerm:
With the update Miui 11 scrolling is really smooth and touch is really responsive. I'm loving it

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Xiaomi Poco F1 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sarang Kulkarni 99:
The phone substantially remains cooler than other smartphones even flagship phones like the one plus 6. A pubg gameplay comparison for an hour with the one plus 6 showed that the Poco f1 was 2°C cooler than the one plus 6. This is because of the liquid cooling inside Poco f1 which helps reducing heat improving performance, which definitely doesn't come in any other budget range smartphones.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] PD2091:
I'd say it does get warm but gets cool faster

After running benchmark tests, it got to the temperature of 43 degrees as per battery stats but got cooler within 2-3 minutes.

I don't know if this temperature is substantial but it felt substantial to my hands!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] pocof1:
I have installed CPU MONITOR app from playstore, so I could see while installing all the playstore apps (moving from old device to Poco) the CPU temp was running between 45-50c. Now while no installations happening CPU shows 35-40c and unit feels pretty cold, not warm as before, so its good. I guess intense of apps installations indeed can cause a heat, oneplus 5t also had certain heat but i think it was less heat than poco during such case of intense playstore apps installations. But, perhaps could be SD845 gets more warm then SD835 in such cases.

Another thing which isnt clear, when you plug the charger it doesnt say if its quick charge mode or regular charge, I really expect Poco devs to get this one fixed, should be an easy fix.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Neznam123:
Hi there, what are the normal high temperatures for the CPU under load? Mine is adleing around 40c but on the 15 min Antutu stress-test it was peaking above 90 and it was really hot around the back camera. It is with the latest 9.6.18. Is it normal or I got an defect unit. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] whrynox:
Try some heavy games which uses Wi-Fi like PUBG Mobile or any alike. If you are getting temps above 45 (given that you have ambient temp 25-35), then you should be worried
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] jibs3k:
My phone is also running hot, even at rest the temperature is high, liquid is just a marketing tactic i guess as it's doing nothing. Oneplus at the same ambient temperature is running a lot cooler. Problem is now i can't return it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] jibs3k:

Camera fire

the phone gets quite hot during the use of the camera. 10 minutes of using the camera for a photo with the AI ​​turned off causes it to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius. It also consumes a lot of battery power. For the first time I see that the use of the camera was on a load comparable to the game in Pubg

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] raza ali29:
don't care about stress tests but in day to day usage with long pubg sessions never felt hot anywhere in device.

For the current update as of writing this, the phone gets quite hot when playing pubg this resulting to thermal throttling which causes a few issues when playing heavy games such as pubg. Hope they fix this soon
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Triparadox:
You're really gonna want to check that out. Even laptop's processors are considered hot when it hits 80. It's definitely you don't want to keep around since it will damage other components like the battery.

Hi all,

I just picked up a 4gb sd card - works great with WM6.1!

Wondering though - when I am entering appointments into the calendar - is it saving the information to the cell or the sd card?

Is there a way to find out? or point it to the sd card?
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
I think the default is on main memory - you can test it - just remove the card :).

I don't know how to point it on the SD card.

I find the front cam can't even handle small shakes.. I need to be very careful to take a selfie. Does anyone else face this? I'm not sure if it's only my device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Vino Y:
Same here, you have to keep the device very still while taking pic..no EIS and OIS.. have to live with it... But camera quality is good..:)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] senthilrameshjv:
Well, not really . My 6p nor my Zenfone max pro m1 had ois or eis. Both took unshaken selfies. I also checked with few others using Poco and they can't find any such issue. For me the problem is when we use volume rocker, we tend to push the phone a bit. And that shakes. I always use volume rocker and asked other Poco owners to do the same and their selfies are not shaken. I think it could be individual device's fault.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Abbey Bhatt:
No such problem in my phone, captures stunning selfies and rear snaps without any trouble. You might have tremors.

Can anyone help me with the settings or is there anyone else who is facing the same issue.?

Please suggest whether or not i should replace my phone..??

So to conclude, pocophone has decent camera. In good light and in controled light it has good dynamic range, lot of details and focus is fast and accurate. In low light, noise reduction reduces amount of details, and photos can be blury due to longer exposure and lack of ois.

Solution?

GCAM

It is in earley stages of porting for poco, so give it few weeks, but already it gives better results in low light than stock camera. Best thing about it is that you don't need to root or flash anything, just install it and that is it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sandepp:
Oneplus 3 with Gcam takes 12MP photos much better with sizes ranging from 6 MB to 10 MB which is a result of capturing higher details. While the poco stock cam takes 12MP photos with size less than 4MB and portrait photos are less than 1 MB. There is either compression taking place or some aggressive noise suppression that takes away all the details thus resulting in smaller file sizes. This problem exists even with the redmi note 5 with 12MP photos taking up less than 2 MB space. Can somebody else test this with their poco and see if they are able to get a higher file size?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] watsinaname:
From the stock cam, I see reasonable amounts of details in the images and file sizes range from 4-8 MB in varied conditions. I have a protraits that are around 8 MB, perhaps you may want to check the settings if there is something amiss
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sandepp:
Ok so here are my observations. Poco's AI or auto mode uses fast shutter speed and low exposure to reduce blur and compensate for the lack of OIS.This results in loss of details. I see the oneplus 3 use slower shutter speeds and higher exposure to capture a lot more detail using its OIS. I used manual mode in Poco to mimic Oneplus's setting and took photos with 1/15 shutter speed and 800 ISO. Oneplus 3uses these settings on non hdr mode.

Oneplus captured a bit more detail but with more noise than poco with a file size of 5 MB and poco had less noise and lower details with a file size of 3 MB. These are indoor shots.So poco uses noise suppression resulting in loss of detail.

Gcam HDR mode dramatically improves image quality in oneplus 3 with higher details and lower noise with a file size of 7 MB for the same photo. Hence we can expect Gcam mod to do the same wonders for poco F1.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] watsinaname:
That's where I feel the poco stock cam does a fine job on the software to overcome the hardware limitations, for most of our normal day to day use, these pics are quite good, the dynamic range is impressive on many occasions.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sandepp:
I personally feel the auto mode on stock cam is very conservative on the settings resulting in an almost unusable indoor and low light shots. This can be overcome mostly by manual mode but I still feel this needs a proper gcam port to unleash the true capabilities of this sensor.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] watsinaname:
Agree on the indoor picture quality, good thing I have the Note8 for that and the low light shots :p

Poco is good for all day browsing, chatting, and some decent day light clicks. As a daily driver there's enough things on the phone to like it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] granbonobo:
