I'm bought one too, and i think the 'bleeding' is not that worst. I mean I don't really noticed it until i read this Forums....

The 'bleeding' is only appear only in shutdown menu .....and in screen test with : Gray, Black and blue colors ...other is not that bother.

If i take the chance to exchange it..... it doesn't guarantee that the new one will be better than my unit.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
True.

But the new unit again comes with a 10 day replacement offer and the countdown starts only from the date of delivery (info received from Flipkart customer care).

I was planning to buy armoured edition of Pocophone. Then a friend told me about this issue. So I read through this thread and realised many people have this problem. So I'm going to buy Zenfone 5z for the same price. The only sad part about it is I'll be able to unlock my boot loader after 1 year. I'm ready to sacrifice that in favour of getting a flawless display

If i replace my poco f1 & get screen bleed defected, can i replace it again ??

If i replace my poco f1 & get screen bleed defected, can i replace it again ??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sanjay0501:
You might look at the Vivo V11 Pro , recently launched at 25999 I believe.

Same or better specs I believe apart from SOC which is a SD660, quite ok for casual gamers.

AMOLED screen, good looks, better screen and tear drop notch. 91%+ screen to body ratio. Same lpddr4x ram and ufs 2.1 storage.

Dunno about their software integration as never used any Chinese brand so far. Poco is the first and I am quite happybwith it.

Already unlocked , flashed miui 10 very 8.9.4 and liking it better than miui 9, though some small niggles like face unlock option available after reboot the first time , ghost touch in lock screen , but nothing that bothers me.

Should I ditch poco f1 because of the screen bleeding issue and buy honor play instead? I'm afraid whether the screen bleeding will spread with time!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] chetaah:
I bought it from mi.com during the first flash sale. The phone has this problem, as well as all the issues mentioned in the web.

The replacement period is already over and I am not sure whether there is any return policy on mi.com. Moreover, I bought the phone in exchange for another phone, not sure what will happen to that money. In short: stuck with this nonsense. Never ever buy a costly phone from Xaomi. That too on a first sale.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
warranty doesnt cover it ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sayHello21:
Agreed that this level of quality issues is unacceptable from Xiaomi especially when these many people are reporting it.

But still it's not a major disappointment by any stretch.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
guess i am those lucky few , quite happy with the poco so far

Update

Well I got my refund so I am done with this. I have updated my original post with all details and some important stuff to remember when buying the phone. Do give my original post a read and let me if I should add any more info for the benefit of others.

Its kind of wierd that this is not being discussed a lot any where else like the Pixel 2XL display Blue shift or even the OnePlus 5 jelly scrolling issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] xXxNeXuSxXx:
Glad your refund also got accepted...

Mine was accepted after I had a convo with the 2nd level team...

I think poco was a costly gimmick. There is a INR 30K phone (I won't name it) which is way better and often comes at a discounted price of 25K (with extra discount on exchange). Nobody talked about that in the reviews. Now I am kicking myself for not following my basic hunch.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] pspspsp:
Light bleed is unavoidable with IPS technology just like ghosting is unavoidable with amoled.

It is UNAVOIDABLE, even my 2k 27" Dell monitor I use for photoshop (it's a professional monitor with professional calibrated colors) has light leaks.

You can check by yourself, even iphone 7 and 8 still have light leaks and it is not less than Poco F1 by any means. Its not about quality control or whatever, it just COMES with IPS technology.

The light bleeding is beyond obvious and everyone should expect a comparable result with any IPS screen, 95% of iphone 8 have a similar bleeding as the iphone 8

It's impossible LG G series didn't had light leaks for example, this is just not possible because its comes with the IPS technology.

I guarantee your Pocophone also has light bleeding even if you can be lucky enough to be not noticable on your device and you got like the 0.1% of the production with the less bleeding, but at least 95% of Pocophone F1 will have ligh bleed comparable to the iphone 8 pictures I posted above : this level of ligh bleed is just the sweet spot of the IPS technology, you can have more, you can have less but it should be around this anyway.

This is NOT a defect, if it was 100% of iphones (except iphone X) would be defectuous, are they ? Obviously not. 100% of surface pro have light bleed also.....it just comes with the IPS technology.

Now the problem can be serious if the leaking is big enough.......but of all the videos and everything I've seen on the internet, the poco F1 just has ligh bleed comparable to the iphone 8 : there is no quality control issue there.

But don't get me wrong, beyond a certain point it's obviously a defect, but I didn't saw any footage of a poco F1 showing it, I've just seen regular and expected ligh bleeding, and a pretty good point was that it was at the same level on all the video's I've seen so far and it should be comparable for at least 95% of the poco F1.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AshDroidG:
Well I agree that light leaks in IPS display do happen and most cases its minimal at best and does not or should not effect day to day use. The problem with POCO F1 is that for some people its too obvious. Check me first post I have put up comparison pics with my OnePlus 2 ( also IPS)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] PandyaKartik:
did technician came again when you selected refund option after replacement? i have same issue on my replacement product so if i select refund option now technician will come again to check my product or i will get direct refund without checking my phone? please tell me
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
hmm didnt know iphone bleeds as well , had never used lcd for a long time
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AshDroidG:
For me after I selected Return once replacement was rejected it directly said Refund Accepted. I did not have a technician visit. I am not sure if that standard procedure though you can always call Flipkart and haggle with them for a refund in case it is rejected.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] AshDroidG:
Well I have used quite a few LCD phone but none have a problm this obvious. In most cases its just uneven illumination that can be made out only in very specific situations but with the POCO F1 it was just atrocious. I compared the display with Moto G4 plus as well as Xiaomi's own RedMi Note 5 Pro and none of these were so bad and all have a IPS panel.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
Can you just tell me what show or movie are the still from.

I wanted to know play the same ones and compare with your screen photo.

It's not just with a few phones and stop saying "your". It's like you are blaming the user for getting the fault. It's a common problem with LCD but POCO didn't manage it as they should have. An oversight on behalf of Xiaomi.

PS: It doesn't really affect me that much but I still tried the replacement as they were easily giving it away. I got my replacement in less than 24 hrs and Bleed is still there albeit a little less bad.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
ermm did you read what he said , if its not his poco phone then whose ? ,he mention the poco F1 in general , i saw his pictures ,it is indeed bleeding from the right side , which is faulty , i didnt mention anything to blame him
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
I've removed the screen protector and now made some pics of the screen.

Kindly let me know what you guys think regarding the same screen bleed issue for this phone.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Harsh goter:
I m not able to upload photos right now of my poco f1 and there is screen bleading issue i will upload them later bt i posted on Twitter and tag all poco related person and also DM regarding this issue bt no one replies till now

This is very disgusting

First they ignore me and now making different excuses

If they are not able to solve this issue they should refund my money

I just request them to replace my phone and send all the pics
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Vivek05:
Hard reset for screen bleeding issue ??? dam man Xiaomi please keep an eye on this particular staff. So u purchased it from mi.com? Visit service centre see what they are saying maybe they replace your device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Harsh goter:
Yes bro and buying from mi.com is my biggest mistake
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Deveshindian:
Does the newer Batches (12th September) also has this problem?

No problem for my version purchased in Italy the past week, screen is perfect, no bleeding in any situation :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 1c3_5n0w:
could you take a picture if possible? would like a screen withiut flaws to refer to so we can know if our unit has backlight bleed.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Harsh goter:

I got my replacement in less than 24 hours. Clicked return @10PM and the guy came [MENTION=960757]3pm[/MENTION] next day. I had a nice conversation with him about the weather and he told me "phir yahi phone order kyon kiya"(Why did you replace it with the same one). I told him I like POCO. It's the best phone at this price(half heartedly).

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] srinivasn1:
Guys, I got the replacement handset this week and even that too has the same issue.. When I spoke to customer care he told me that it is not an issue and this is how it comes since it is a LCD panel. I told them I want a refund and they accepted it.. Conclusion from this: They purposely gave the cheap quality display to cut cost the overall price. Display is more important than chipset for better user experience. Please think and take proper decision.. I think soon they will discontinue this product.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
Yeah actually there seems to be a light bleed

I just can't seem to get it on photo ?

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

you mean you can really get a different model as replacement???? There really is a choice??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sayHello21:
No I think what the delivery guy meant was why not return it completely and buy a new one. He was just being candid.

Of course they had to cut the cost. Displays don't cost the same as popsicles. You should try to see the complete package. And I don't see a better package than this under ₹25000 even with all the issues.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] tirtha231:
It's there for every POCO F1

Actually the issue is here with most of the POCO F1 and mostly visible with gray background(like Power Off screen), not that much with the Red, Green and Blue screen in "Display Test". It is here also with your grey picture(very less at bottom chin but clearly visible at left side) and even could be seen in green one .The question is "How much it is affecting you!!. But this much can easily be avoided and you'll rarely notice it in day to day usage and won't notice it even for a single time when gaming.

Mine is also something like yours' or you can say a little bit more at chin only but nothing at any other part. And only visible with lighter background shades( when display emits more light), mostly like yellow and white and of course when you know about it and trying to see it in "Power Off" screen!! You can always test it by yourself with different wallpapers or pages in browsers with brightness at full. But do you really think that you are going to look at your display always with full brightness?? With moderate brightness still it may be there but definitely less noticeable. Again, you notice it only when you know about it. If not then your device is badly defected and get rid of it .

Everybody is going nuts because someone made a headline about this in a forum i.e. none other than "XDA". Visitors and members here smarter and more obsessed with their devices rather than casual users. Obviously we XDA 'ans know how to look for an issue and how to convince others about it.

I would like to share someone else's post about this issue as I also think he is right to some extent..

"Of course they had to cut the cost. Displays don't cost the same as popsicles. You should try to see the complete package. And I don't see a better package than this under ₹25000 even with all the issues."

But, yeah.. I'm not going to accept it with all issues like him. But if it's not a issue for you and your usage then what's the problem?? Please keep it in mind that who started this thread has clearly mentioned that "this problem is too much obvious for him and he can't live with it". So let him get rid of this issue immediately. He is not you or you are not him!!

And the last thing ( which should be mentioned at very first), why are you posting pictures and asking about it, if you, yourself is not noticing it. We are with same kind of eyes like you are having. We are not super human with some scanner fit into our eyes!! At the end it's only you who is going to use your device not us. So, it's rightly said .." Seems perfect, do not go in paranoia :)"

And yes, please forgive me for my bad english.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
No you have made a good point.

And yes it does bother me a bit.

But the main point I was trying to find was that whether other users find my display also faulty like I did and thus whether they would recommend or advise me to claim a replacement considering the amount of light bleed specifically seen in my phone .

And as an update I've asked for a replacement, reaching me this Sunday and in case I do get a defective phone again I'm hoping Flipkart might refund me then.

And I sincerely wish I can re purchase the same phone at a later date (maybe a different color).

But regarding Re purchase I've not decided if I will buy the same phone or maybe a different one.

One point, like many people , I wish for is a phone with no such obvious defects worth the price I spend on it.

And I really feel that Poco has the greatest potential to become another redmi note 3 kinda device with its strong hardware at its price point and a custom development friendly company promises.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GooN123:
I can definitely confirm screen bleeding. Yesterday looked at 5 devices, all of them had this issue of some amount. One was almost faultless, two had acceptable bleeding (not notecable in real world usage), other two phones had noticeable uneaven bleeding at the bottom. So only about 20% of devices are free of issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] chetaah:
Why? Zenphone 5z often comes at 25K. 2K bank discount + 3K extra on exchange, so effectively at 25K. I already bought poco during the first sale and regreting heavily.

I am not advertising anything, just clearly saying that much better option is available at 25K. Interestingly, I was all set to buy 5z, then I suddenly fell into the trap: liquid cooling + master of speed -- NONSENSE.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ConradB:
Please delete. Sorry
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sayHello21:
It's alright if you regret it. You may have had real issues with your device or you just made a big deal out of little things. Could be anything. It's hard to tell. But as far as pricing goes never argue with the statement "you get 3k discount on EXCHANGING". That's the most ridiculous thing to say. Why would I give away a perfectly working midrange old phone for a paltry 3k.

5z is 30,000 and I got Poco F1 for 18,874 no exchange and didn't find anything regrettable so far apart from some minor issues.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Vabby123:
Do you have your brightness level to 100% in this picture ?

Put the phone to full 100% brightness level and then check if screen is bleeding from any side.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ruvy:
The phone screen brightness was 100% when I took that pic. Sorry for the bad quality. Didn't had any decent camera phone at that time to click it. Anyways, I just checked again and I really don't see any screen bleeding on my device. I guess, I just got lucky
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] chetaah:
Seriously, I did not understand your point. The above price quote applies to them who bought or are thinking of buying 5z/poco in exchange for another phone. This number is not small and in fact, includes both you and me. Again, for both your and my cases, the price of 5z would have been 25k. And again there are/were many people like that who buy phones with exchange for an old one.

I hope you didn't find this too difficult to understand.

And one thing I want to tell you that you have all the reasons to be happy (or at least pretend to be) after whatever you have done. Just don't lecture on your judgement. You have no idea what I am facing.

Peace.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Jaistah:
Just for the record, i know for a fact that Pocophone won't be perfect and that would be too good to be true. But if the device has some defective batch it doesn't mean the device per say is crap. I am one of the lucky ones who bought and carefully INSPECTED the device before purchasing. Those who bought it online should have expected like this to happen because you can't inspect anything when it's been delivered to you by a courier. And Yes my Poco is rooted and is totally AWESOME by the way
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] fake_japanese_guy:
You have any source for this info? I have seen people reporting screen bleeding on 128gb versions too.

Wow rooted already??

By the way, have you tried using the poweamp player experimental alpha version?

It's supposed to tap into the 32bit /192khz audio DAC in SD845.

Also how did it take to unlock bootloader was rooting with magisk ( used magisk to root right?) smooth

Any recovery changed?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Vivek05:
Many friends of mine unlike me having 6+128 and not having issue..As i said maybe this is more with 6+64 but even i am not sure and on forum maximum were having 6+64 gb variant as well, this problem was with first batch now its getting lesser see screen bleeding forum progress.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] b00dymoon:
That's my friend phone 6 128 what you thought
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] SHEKARansd:
This is not bleeding, it it because of curves at bottom,

Bleeding means at a perticular part not the whole display, like others in this thread
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] tirtha231:
At left side and at bottom chin... though left side's bleeding is more prominent than bottom chin.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Bleeding means symmetry will be affected... particular one portion or may by multiple portions of your display will emit more lights rather than equal along the whole surface. As your display doesn't have it you are not getting it in this particular picture. It's prominently there in the last two pictures. Along the chin it's clearly visible.. just try to look through where "By Xiaomi" is written at bottom. Still if you don't see it, then peace.. I'm seeing things.

And this is exactly what, which happening with most of the people who are saying " It's there, but it's negligible and I can live with it." Because I myself is having only this much or you can say a bit less . And more interestingly still I'm replacing it because display is one of the most highest priority for me. And obviously it varies from person to person.
