[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
yours display bleed is obvious , i just tested mine on some movies , looks ok
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shahabazas:
Dont know if the issue is there in my phone as well as checked i found it normal tried with full brightness and white background and attached is the screenshot of the same can someone look and confirm if there is an issue or not.

Also tried the display test and all the 3 colors were normal without any issue also attaching the screenshot of that. Can someone confirm if there is any issue?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AkkiV:
You can't tell it by the screenshots. You have to take a photo of your phone's screen.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] srinivasn1:
Same issue here as well

Guys, just twitted the issue in twitter. Please retwit it and share to reach maximum so that we can get some resolution, so that many people hard earned money will not go wasted.

https://twitter.com/srinivaswest/status/1037939945741197313?s=19

Thanks for the poeple who started this thread, this issue was unnoticed by lot of people.. I immediately noticed when I started the phone. Customer Service really sucks they don't provide refund if you have bought through MI store, only replacement option is available and it is very much delayed. The replacement option is bad you will get same issue phone again because of cheap quality LCD they have used to cut the price.. they should stop selling this phone..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] xXxNeXuSxXx:
Just now tech guy visited and it went crazy lol

He said that he has examined this on multiple poco devices and so this is not a defect!!!

And told to get a report from Mi service centre that this is a defect only then they can accept it.

Now waiting for an update from FK
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AshDroidG:
I guessed as much. They will be very reluctant to give a refund. I have a tech visit today hoping it goes smoothly. I would suggest to sell the device. Right now demand is high so you shld be able to sell it without taking a big hit on the price. Atleast that would be better than getting the run around from Mi and Flipkart
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] xXxNeXuSxXx:
Yup thats the plan B.... do let me know how your tech visit goes :P
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PandyaKartik:

I just put in a return request on the flipkart app.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Jaskirat singh:
Man! This is so horrible.

My unit seems fine, but still gonna check it.

Edit1:- i have little bleed, not noticeable, but when i turn brightness to max then its visible,

So worth returning?

I have no problem and not gonna impact on life of phone and screen , soooo. I guess i won't exchange
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shivy25:
Is the screen bleeding a serious issue? I neither use full screen gestures (I use in screen nav keys), nor watch lot of videos. But, I game a lot.

Should I replace my unit or can I continue using it?

Also, will it affect the screen in the long run?

Help me out guys.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AshDroidG:
If it doesnt bother you go ahead and enjoy the phone nothing to worry.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sharathnakka:
I have this problem too, please check my images and let me know your views..

I have only 2days left for a return request.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PandyaKartik:
i did same but I am getting call ( 4 Times ) from flipkart executive but they are saying there server is down so they can't do further process.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ashish M Shet:
Hello

How did you apply for replacement on Filpkart?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] scotyard:
Where is this screen which has "Mi Home" and "Wallpaper carousel" on it?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] srinivasn1:
On the lockscreen, swipe left.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darkness126:
Mine is exactly the same, I don't see any bleed while watching videos or while playing games. I see a light screen bleed just like yours on power options screen in general Grey background only. I don't see any issues in black or any other color background.

Even I'm confused on what to do, some people say that even the replacement has this issue and I personally don't want the issue to get worse. Still thinking...:rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sechebe:
Had cancelled my order of POCO F1 based on issues in multi-touch and display reported in another thread. Now it's being said that Multitouch issue would be fixed through software. I use Lenovo P2 with SuperAMOLED display, but was thinking of upgrading to POCO. So please let me know about the following;

1. How's the screen quality (colour reproduction, highlight & shadow detail, outdoor brightness for reviewing camera shots under sunlight) of POCO F1 compared to phones under 25k or atleast 20k ?

2. Is light bleeding present with other IPS panel phones in that price range? Just to compare, and know whether POCO has severely compromised on display quality.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sharathnakka:
It's not big deal if you are not a perfectionist. I'm scared what if replaced unit is much worse. I have not much issues while play videos, but the blue screen looks worse.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ctushar97:
Wow. I've been seeing so many issues with the Poco and multiple users suffering from similar issues. Mi5 user here.

This just goes on to show how poor the quality control of Xiaomi is. There's a YouTube video that shows the awesome quality control of OnePlus even though it is still half the price of other flagships. I'm so glad I did not buy into the hype and didn't order. Will save up some money and buy a OnePlus 6T.

Poco is still great for $300 if Xiaomi can get rid of these shortcomings. I mean, we are paying lesser bucks but that doesn't mean that the screen should bleed or have other issues. These are the crucial points, get the hardware right. I'm guessing they're sourcing different components from multiple sources, hence the disparity. Well I'm not surprised either, my Mi5 has GPS and Bluetooth issues on every ROM I tried. Whereas my friend's Mi5 has good GPS stability. So probably it could be that I've got a defective phone. Why? Poor quality control. No wonder they've declared that they shall only make 5% on hardware sales. SMH.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] zengraviz:
they are using cheap ips panel to reduce the cost thats why it looks like that. This phone isnt a magic phone or flagship killer at all., its what you pay is what you got phone.

even you replace it, it will still have that bleeding, thats because how the screen supossed to be

personally i dont mind becasuse when playing games this bleeding doesnt seems to appear at all, and im not starring at my power off screen all the time

what i hate is this phone is buggy af, MIUI is the worst system ever
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ashmint:
Isint there any way in which we can check the panel model/variant and do a comparison b/w the Indian variant and global variant. Someone with a global variant please help us out, If region based compromise on hardware is done by poco then this issue should be treated much seriously. Guys tbh this is a big deal , Almost everyone has this problem
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shivy25:
1. Barring the bleeding at the chin, the screen quality is top notch, with excellent outdoor legibility. Also its only visible on the power menu.

2. AFAIK, light bleeding is not present in phones in the similar price range. Yes, poco has compromised on the screen quality, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker for many.

Also, are you sure that the multitouch issue is gonna be fixed?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sechebe:
Atleast that's what something the POCO team is looking into as per their twitter responses.

Also, display is of utmost importance to me, and if POCO manages to fix it, then would buy it. Else this is a deal-breaker from me, personally.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mrigancb:
Hi. I just switched to Pocco 6/128 from P2 4/32 and just completed my first day with the device. Going thru this thread, I also checked my panel for screen bleed and it is there. Luckily though, it is not noticable in any normal usage.. only on the grey background for the restart and the lockscreen left screen and very slightly on the black background. This is one of the times where browsing XDA is a negative ?.. never noticed the issue till this thread and since it's not noticable in any other usage scenarios, I'm not going to ask for a replacement.

Vs P2:

1. I don't feel the screen is a noticable downgrade. Yes, Balck and contrast are different but the screen is bright enough for use and color calibration options are available to tune it to my taste. Bottom line, Black is just not as black but no problem unless compared side by side.

2. Better reception and network speed for me. I have heard this is an issue for some, but so far, I have dual 4g volte with CA on both sims so no comparison.

3. P2 was better balanced ergonomically. This one feels bit off in comparison.

4. Used a multi-touch test app after going through this thread and all 10 fingers are registered. 3 finger screen shot working fine too.

5. Battery life doesn't compare. Had to change Pocco end of day while P2 had enough juice that I could leave that to the next day. Primarily due to the screen tech as standby is pretty good and MIUI has better options to optimise app battery usage.

6. Usage: software launch bugs like notifications not visible, status bar only on pull down etc.exist but should get ironed out, otherwise, I'll install one of the custom GSIs ( thanks XDA and all mods ?).

7. Cameras: better on Pocco. Shared a couple of pics with family on WhatsApp and they commented on the difference in quality.

8. Issues: the top and bottom of the screen - the notch eats into a tiny bit of the screen in the middle and the extra curves at the bottom cover parts of the video/ app at the sides. Noticable in games as the top and bottom controls for some games are covered and gameplay is impacted. IMO, they need to introduce an option for small bars at the top and bottom of the screen which can be permanently kept on. This will solve the issue.

8. Ringtone is slightly louder but speaker phone seems to be lower volume.

9. Stereo speakers is a joke. Going to switch to mono output to see is that impacts the quality.

10. No problem with headphone out put.

Still stuff to check and compare but so far, no major issue for me so far.

Better chipset, ram connectivity for 3k more over the P2. Bigger screen in similar footprint ( if that matters to you). Extra storage with no need for a memory card. Still lasts a full day of usage.

Maybe, I am lucky with the phone as the screen bleed isn't so noticable on my piece.

Going to keep testing over next 2 - 3 days, but unless something else comes up, I'm not asking for a replacement. For me, it seems worth the upgrade, your milage may vary.

Since I am testing, let me know if you want any thing else checked.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sechebe:
Wow... This is what I was searching the whole forum for. Can't thank you enough.

I am planning to upgrade from my 3/32 P2, so it would be great if you could let me know your thoughts on how F1 compares on these;

1. OS stability - Had extremely rare cases of app crashes with my P2.

2. Sound Quality (3.5mm) - I use Netron Player and Sound Magic E10C, P2 sounds very good. Is F1 a tangible upgrade in this area? POCO claims dedicated amp built-in.

3. Notification light - Customisable in any way? Blinking frequency, if not colour.

4. Display - How's the enhanced contrast mode in F1 compared to P2, does it clip shadow details? Or in any mode? Also, how's sunlight legibility, screen reflections?

Colour reproduction - I use FF DSLR and use my phone to display/show pictures.

5. Touchscreen Experience - P2 was a remarkable upgrade over my Zuk Z1. Does F1 matches/exceeds P2?

6. Doesn't really matter, but with a clear TPU case on both does it look cheaper to P2.

I had planned the upgrade considering those pros you have mentioned - Network reception, Cameras, SD845 and RAM, Audio (not sure, but I thought SD845 DAC should deliver better) etc..

But was sceptical about DISPLAY ( I cancelled my order which was in transit due to display & touch issues reported here) as well as AUDIO Quality.

Thanks again and please let me know your thoughts.

Please Answer

Anyone Please tell ... Screen Bleeding Progressive or Not .My phone have slightly bleeding .In future ..Will It Increase Or Not ???
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] narora9999:
Unless its getting pressurized from some point continuously, its not progressive.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mrigancb:
Deleting as double posted by mistake
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Yuvi8870:
Pressure???

However We want to use the navigation bar Right??

How do we prevent this Progression??

Another One Ques is "If it Progresses ,Can we change the Screen using MI Protect Or Pay Money?? And after changing the Screen, is it Corrected???
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mrigancb:
1. OS stability - no crashes yet and all my apps work fine. Ofcourse, day 1 so no guarantees there, but I can see the latest update is not available for my phone. I hear MI pulled it due to bugs, which shows they are actively doing something. Also, MI forum seems to get very fast responses from the POCCO team whereas Lenovo just doesnt care about consumers in my experience. So expect these issues (if any) to get sorted in a month or so.

2. Sound quality - I am using basic headphones so cant comment on how high impedance stuff will behave. For basic headphones, its very similar. If its not an upgrade, its definitely not a tangible downgrade.

3. Notification light - nothing much to customize. Can blink for notification and on while charging, goes off once charge is full. Can be turned off. Single color (white). IF it can be customized, we'll only know once specific updates come in. Also, it is located below the screen.

4. Don't have the P2 at hand right now so cant make direct comparisons. I used the P2 mostly in the comfort mode (low blue light). For Pocco, I find the standard mode to be more to my liking compared to the other 2 modes available. Cant comment on shadows as thats probably best seen side by side. Sunlight visibility is ok, maybe just slightly lower than P2. Screen is slightly reflective but not much. Might need to tilt screen in very bright direct light. Overall colors seem fine but I haven't connected to the camera. I suggest you go through some detailed reviews on any of the tech sites and they will give an idea of the deltas, etc.

5. Touchscreen Experience- No discernible difference. Seems to be as good as P2. Do note, I used a screenguard for my P2 and nothing so far on the pocco screen.

6. Looks - Purely personal. I am usually more concerned with performance than looks to I might not be the ideal person for this one :). Using pocco with the out of the box cover. This is a soft care compared to the hard plastic in P2 box, so provides better protection. Did handover the phone to some friends and they didn't even realize the cover was on. I think if looks matter, you can always get a skin from the cash you save on this phone.

I personally am ok with the change from P2 but everyone has different tastes. Dont see many worthy upgrade options either. If no major issues turn up in my testing, its a good, value for money device for me.

Unfortunately, MI doesnt have the phone on display so no way for one to examine it before purchase so thats one downer. Probably see if you can get hold of someone who has a piece without any of the defects to do a hands-on, if possible.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MgeeeK:
I was planning to buy this and in the current scenario I think there is high probability that I'll get Poco F1 with screen bleeding. I don't wanna buy honor play seeing there is no future for custom rom.

Can any one recommend me any other phone under 20k rs or should I wait to get this issue fixed and buy Poco.

And can Xiaomi launch mi8se in near future in india?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] _n1shant_:
Have you got good device after replacement?

I have the same problem too. I still have 8 days left for return policy. On my device it is too obvious if the background is in grey or white colour, so in day to day usage while using Chrome, play books, or in any white background it distracts me a lot. But not that obvious while gaming or watching videos.

In browser fonts look more bright in very bottom part of the screen.

And when you use read mode, very bottom part of screen looks white while rest of the screen is yellowish.

What I am wondering is that after replacement, device will have same problem?

It will be helpful if you guys can share replacement experience and have you got good device after replacement?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darkness126:
Apply for replacement, it all depends on your luck. It can't be worse than the actual problem you're having now.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mrleonsio:
Guys i saw many posts about that problem and people here in Georgia has problem too. I think it's hardware based. Mine however, does not have any problem (guess i'm lucky one too).

Global Version

6 GB RAM/ 64 GB ROM
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Vivek05:
Best way of checking light bleeding is open a blank page in chrome and then hold power button untill it takes you to the power off page and then check your phone bottom - full brightness.

Thanks

Guys im posting the pics of my display.

I feel that there is a slight problem.

Kindly request you to provide me with your thoughts.

Sorry I think there might be a problem, but can't get convinced enough just by myself for a return and maybe a refund later because I feel it's worth it bang for buck phone.

So need you guys advice.

In case you guys feel that I've not taken the picture properly. Kindly tell me. I'll repost with fresh pics as soon as possible.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sandepp:
I have the Indian version poco F1 no light bleed in the chin . Just a greyish color shift in the lcd when I tilt the phone. Its a better panel than my old nexus 5 and mi tab which have obvious lcd light bleed . I find the display contrast comparable to my oneplus 3 and overall a pleasant experience. If you have it ask for a replacement I think this issue is only present in the initial batches sold. The sep 5th sale models might not have this.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Turina:
Looks fine to me
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Nihal @A-JAX:
September 5th models also have these. I have initiated return on FK. Planning to buy after 2-3 flash sales again as there is no other choice for a budget flagship. Hope they'll fix this issue by that time and price won't increase.

I have also raised my voice on Twitter but no response from Poco India & [MENTION=3378209]jaimani[/MENTION]. They are so silent in this matter!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
ermm why dont peel off that factory screen protector
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] _n1shant_:
Hey,

I have also bought in 5th September sales.

I don't see any return/ refund options. When I click on return it just shows me replacement option.

How to return this Phone? And get refund?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
By the way, if we peel off the factory screen protector and the protector at the back of the device for the camera.

That wouldn't be a problem for applying for return or replacement right provided I apply within the stipulated period??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sayHello21:
Sorry but most of the people don't even have a good enough reason to replace with Flipkart let alone refund. I never returned a device successfully maybe some others had some luck.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Nihal @A-JAX:
If you choose quality issue under refund/replacement section, you'll get return option. Also I have heard that under stock unavailability, there will be direct refund option.

I got only refund option & it got approved directly. Today the guy will be coming for pickup. I had exchanged it with my old device for which they'll provide me the gift voucher for that amount.

No issues with those as long as there's no major damage to mobile. I too have peeled them off. It'll be okay if you are within 10 days replacement/refund period.
