[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] round2:
It's records 8min of 4k then stops. Try it yourself. 1080p doesnt do that.

Also, the little dot you get on a app icon stays there for a long time after you checked the app for a notification.

Also sometimes, often actually, it won't play notification sounds especially if you choose your own.

Also when 2 or more people text you in s group message, the message is suppose to show up as a group in one text but instead the group text conversation is split up and I get a text from each person in a separate text. So group texting don't work.

Also can't tell if phone is connected to aptx device in aptx mode. Usually on other phones you get a small popup telling you that you have connected to an aptx capable device.

Also fingerprint sensor is not sensitive. I often gotta manual doy pattern instead.

Also the speaker in phone calls needs to be louder

Good things about phone:

Price.

Selfie cam resolution.

Large screen

Baterry life.

Fast speedy rresponse to open things.

Easy root

Fast battery charge.

Loud speaker for ringtones and notification

Records phone calls

Records screen in video and pictures

Has fm radio with recorder to record missed radio shows

Comes with a decent OS cleaner to delete useless logs and junk files

Did I say the price? ?

My previous device was the RN4X, which I was quite happy with. I bought the Poco F1 a couple of days ago and I'm blown away. All of my previous devices had been rooted and I would flash a different rom every couple of days.

Today I figured out that I didn't have to root in order to change from global stable to global Dev, so I did, and I'm so happy with it that right now it feels that rooting doesn't need to happen.

The battery life on this thing is outstanding. For me and my usage habits I have got a day and a half easily. I bet I could get 2 days if I had better cell reception at my house.

The huge top notch doesn't bother me at all.

Fingerprint unlock is ultra fast.

6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and the SD845 gives this monster wings.

Much love for this device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] w1040:
I love it so much. The battery, stereo speaker, awesome in gaming, camera is actually decent for a midrange device. But, I dropped my poco f1 for the first time today, i dropped it accidentally when im holding my poco f1, car keys and my vape with one hand, then my poco fall to a concrete cement and then bounced into a drain grill and then it slips into the drain. I was in shocked and panic. But luckily im using a tough case that i just bought 3 days ago. Luckily there's no scratch anywhere i was soo glad. Im thankful to my 3 days ago self cause i bought a case for my poco. If i didnt bought the case my poco would probably be cracked or have a huge scratches and i would cry myself out. Still love my poco!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] wGRV:
Coming from Oneplus One, POCO F1 suites all my needs. I am happy with this device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] round2:
Battery life is superior to any other phone I've had.

Phone is fast. No lags, ever.

Takes good video and pics.

I love the screen recorder and the call recorder.

Charges really fast

Speaker is loud and easily understood both in speaker phone and during phone calls in the upper speaker.

Sound quality for music and movie playback on headphones is good just like most high end phones.

Screen is nice and bright with clarity.

So etimes I gotta press buttons several times on Screen to make it type. Notifications, both the sound and icons usually never work. Ringer works but text doesn't, email does only sometimes.

You gotta be careful with the stock cleaner app because it will recommend you to delete files you want. Like personal pics and vids.

4k video recording has a 8 min time limit.

The notch is frigging aggravating.

The ROM seems to be sending my data to China.

Can't debloat entirely or it will quit working all together.

No group texting in the stock text app which is retarded

For 300$ it's decent. However the main issues for me and others have been the notifications not working and the lack of group conversation in text.

Xiaomi needs to fix these 2 issues soon. If they don't, future sales will drop big time. Tbh. I'll sell it and pay more for a capable phone if they don't fix these issues.

Also for phuck sake, allow us to remove the stock cleaner and also chrome. Can't remove it.. unless I want a dead phone .

I bought the exact same case as this one. The case saved my poco and saved myself from crying. ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] pingufanpoy:
upsides:

very good performance in daylight conditions

decent high end lcd display

845 Processor for cheap (beats s9 and note 9 in performance tests)

Can root, unlock bootloader

A strong dev community, weekly feedback from devs

Very popular phone

headphone jack

usb c

fast charging 3.0 (4.0 also supported but extremely hard to find)

company isn't awful like huawei or lenovo (disgusting business practices these two)

sd card support (the mi8 and oneplus 6 don't have support)

notes: all phones suck in direct sunlight, this is baseline decent i wouldnt use it in direct sunlight

i felt urged to buying a used oneplus 5t just for the ois and amoled in the same price point

should have researched before buying, you could get a mi 8 for the same price off of ali express

downsides:

no ois, so trash stabilization, blurry EIS, bad lowlight (google night sight is amazing but smudges photos slightly because of the lack of ois)

no nfc, not supported in my country so i don't care

bugs, lots of them, every week every update, fix something breaks something

no 720p / 1080p 60 fps, even budget phones from xiaomi have them? wtf?

our display only reaches about 84% of ntsc

40 usd more expensive than india or china (price of import?, warranty i guess?)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] B.E.O.:
Speaker Position.....

When I hold the phone in my right hand I always rest it on my pinky to hold it up. when I do this the speaker sits right on my pinky and gets covered up. This is a bad ting for me. Its how I'm able to do one handed operations by cradling the phone in hand and resting on the pinky.

Just got it today and that, plus it isn't as wide as I hoped. It is the same width as my note 2. I was looking for something with a little more real-estate but this is just longer.

I don't know if this came in after the most recent 10.2.2.0 update or not (official stable) but Poco now has an option in addional settings >buttons and gestures to launch Google assistant with a 0.5s press of power button like OnePlus. I. LOVE. THIS. Allows me to get Google assistant with one hand and one button while in full screen gesture mode. #thankyou
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] w1040:
Yes its a new feature for 10.2.2.0 and thanks for that. I didnt know.

In love with the device from day 1 even the gaming performance is impressive. Loving the Poco F1.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] jvdv360:
I come from an S7 edge.

Pro: It's a fast phone, good battery life, reasonably well designed UI (Samsung UI was still more polished).

Con: screen is vastly inferior to an AMOLED I got used to.

But hey, what do you want? For that price I can now only get a Samsung A40 or A50, with gorgious screen and decent looks, but inferior battery life and performance. I'm using the phone mostly indoors, so I gave up the amoled and haven't had any regrets.

To be improved: do not combine normal security updates with feature upgrades. In other words: do a monthly update, and then have a separate track for the features.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] hardikpatel009:
This is the best device I have ever used. I just love how POCO F1 works. It has more custom ROM developers so if you want to get rid of the MIUI you can have more options for custom Roms.

Definately a strong community for the phone. Hopefully it will stay like that quite a while, the F1 has potential for a few more years
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] BentMetal:
My flashing addiction began with the first generation of Nexus 5's, then on to the first three OnePlus phones, a few RedMi phones and now the Poco. This is probably my favorite device so far. Not only is the device beefy enough for me, but the community is pretty active and supportive. There are plenty of solid ROMs available and some are updated frequently. That makes a difference. Community counts.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] RebornCheiko:
It's so difficult to buy a phone that has little or no custom ROM support.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] lmulli:
Previous to this phone, I had a Moto G7 Plus and a Honor 9, both of which have next to no support via XDA. I moved to the Poco F1 as I fancied getting back in to flashing custom roms like I used to in the days of my Nexus 5, however, having used the device, I have thus far felt no need whatsoever to unlock the device and flash anything on it as I find that the stock MIUI rom works perfectly well for my needs - I grew accustomed to the extra goodies on both EMUI and the Moto and quite like the little extras with MIUI.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] aveemashfaq:
I started rooting phones since Android 1.6 (I had an Akash Tab knockoff, which Indians should remember). Every device after that was Android and it was unbearable to live without rooting until Kitkat phones came. That was when the benefits of rooting started to decrease (and ironically, the dependence on google play services started to increase). Google play services is the ultimate phone killer. I run my phone without gapps and my phones just fly.

Just saying, I still have a Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830i which rooted and all apps removed running on GingerBread has the same screen response time as my Poco F1 which stock MIUI. That was the power of rooting. These days with faster processors, the difference is not that apparent. Now-a-days, I simply root because it's my habit and I cannot stand living with google on my phone. And better battery life.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] Sam.1211:
Once you get used to totally disabling the notch (because notches are starting to be a thing of the past), this phone will live on for years.

However, the device still has some problems.

On miui, you will answer a call on speaker when connected to bt audio.

On custom rom, random bluetooth connection drop and slow/no connection when devices search each other.

Wifi n speeds plummet when...using bt audio.

I come from an LG G6. The bt audio implementation was better than anything else.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] jmac052002:
Community development strength!

I bought the Poco just a month ago, and it's one year old now but it's still an awesome phone it has been my favorite phone hands down and my flashing and unlocking addiction started with the Moto X 2013 and I've had many since, but I love my Poco and I love the people in our development community everybody is so helpful and cool! I love that there is so many ROMs and kernels, and the really huge draw for me to the Poco was that we even have MultiRom! I even actually love MIUI as much as some custom ROMs ..it is just a great phone all around and I really hope and pray we get a new second version soon, because I will be buying it for sure. Thanks for being such an awesome development community guys!

It may be a little behind the mi8, the OP6 or the mi mix 2s, but if you consider the price, I consider it a fair trade :)

is it true that some phones fake the benchmarks? does Xiaomi do that ?

Also does the speed increase if you are using custom rom vs the official rom ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] CluelessO.o:
1-Yep for example Huawei was caught recently

2-There is a possibility;)

3- depends on the rom , right now performance wise stock rom /miui.eu is better then aosp , because all the aosp rom is alpha stage
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] mseif:
I am not expert to judge by test result, All I care about is the speed, no lag or hanging . I do nor care about camera or graphics, so pls advice, should I but Oneplus 6 or Pocophone 1 ? I heard that Xiaomi phone although they start good, but by time, they loose their speed gradually and starts to lag .

Also knew the notifications in the Poco are not shown at the top of the screen , is there easy solution for that ?

I had a OP 5t and loved it by I lost and looking for a new phone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

As far as I am concerned, I'd go for the Pocophone because :

- it has no AMOLED (I don't like AMOLED displays because they tend to turn out blueish or yellish at certain viewing angles) ;

- because it has larger battery ;

- because it has headphone jack ;

- because it's way cheaper than the OP6 or OP6T.

The overall build quality and materials used may be porrer than the ones used in OnePlus, but I have the Poco and honestly... it doesn't look at all like a cheap device !

About your concern for the lasting performance : I've had Xiaomi devices for years. The previous one was a mi5s Plus I've kept for 2 years. It felt as fast as the first day after 2 years of use... Of course, after a factory reset, because installing hundreds of apps may slow it down in time... But that are the apps, not the hardware...

Hope this helped.

Regards.

P.S. : maybe benchmarks may show a 3% performance loss... It might be measurable. But will you feel it in your daily usage ? I think not...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] mseif:

But nah I'm not risking it again

New member here, my first comment!

Is it just me, or the scrolling is pretty sluggish on Poco f1?

It doesn't lag or freeze but the latency is pretty high. When I scroll up and down fast, finger moves and the icons or the text on the webpage lags behind by 1-2 cm before it catches up the finger position.

Is it normal. I think it wasn't the case with my previous phone, nexus 5.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] pocof1:
For sure they have to optimize their firmware/OS as its not even par with OnePlus 5T smoothness yet. Hope to see a solid update for performance and quality soon from Poco developers / Xiaomi Team!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] sayHello21:
I think that is mostly due to the Animation Scale set to 1x by default. Turn that completely off in developer settings and give it a try.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] ShivaRungta:
This might help-

- Go to Settings

- Go to About Phone

- Keep tapping on MIUI version(For Poco) till it gives you developer rights

- Go back to settings main menu

- Scroll to System & Device sub-menu and tap on Additional settings

- Scroll to the end and tap on Developer settings

- Scroll down to Drawing sub-menu and make the following changes

- Set Window animation scale to OFF

- Set Transition animation scale to OFF

- Set Animator duration scale to 1x
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] jineshpatel30:
Better Solution:

Just Turn off MIUI Optimization (last option) from developer settings ,and all will be buttery smooth

i tried that before but personally to me, disabling transition animations as well gives better results. Try scrolling facebook feed and you see the difference.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] anon1135:
Are u talking about some kind of motion blur during scrolling? It could be because of the displays that xiaomi uses but I haven't seen this confirmed anywhere. Their older phones also had this problem and it is noticeable if u came from a more expensive phone or have one side by side to compare it with. Try having the same page on both and scrolling at the same time. For some people it isn't that noticeable and I was wondering if it's also a problem in this newer phone because that would make sense as one of the reasons why it's cheap. It won't affect how fast things load and I don't think it's a software problem. There are some people talking about it if u do a Google search and it happens on different models. Hard to believe xiaomi would do it paired with a snapdragon 845 though. Makes more sense for weaker processors

Touch response is very poor. When I swipe left it works as swipe up or down. Sometimes swipe down or up and works as swipe left or right. Very disappointed..you can try it.. Just swipe down the notification bar and remove the notifications one by one and see the action.

Sometimes I didn't touch an area of the display, actually my fingers went over these portion of the display and it works as touch click. Very disappointed.

Is it software or hardware(touch display) bug?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] mario123m:
We don't know (yet). All I know is no update has fixed it so far. Tbh, I lost hope it's ever gonna be fixed. 50$ phones have better touch response than this "flagship killer killer". Scrolling and swiping is infuriating on Pocophone... Sometimes when I swipe left it goes right. So yeah... I think everyone has this issue but not everyone can notice it. I just don't know why some people say 'update to MIUI 10, it fixed it for me'. Or 'the latest stable update fixes it' when it CLEARLY DOESN'T.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Real Life Review] arijit4785:
