Hi. Congratulations. I am also thinking about the Pocophone. Currently I am using OnePlus 3T. So is Poco better than OP 3T? Could you you please write down pros and cons compared to OP 3T. Thanks. :)

Hello guys, shifted from Redmi Note 5 (SD636) to this beauty! Got myself a 128 gb Steel Blue.

Finally a worthy successor to the OnePlus One. Very snappy, good camera to click on the fly, overall a pleasant experience. All in all, this phone has re-invigorated my interest in XDA again!!

Hello people,

I'm using Pocophone for two weeks and I'm fall in love.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] diogofd8:
Just bought this phone on a whim today. I needed a new phone and it was the only new phone with headphone jack that has decent specs and doesn't cost a liver. Can't wait to unlock this ***** and take some sexy ass pics! (my prior phone was a moto g5, even if people say this camera sucks, well they need to have moto g5 for a week to see what it means to have a camera that really sucks)

Hi Guys,

Got Armoured 128gb delivered yesterday. No Screen bleeding no touch issues. Google camera Nighshot lags (have to switch to beta to use it without lag). Obviously its a great phone at great price. Waiting for Pixel Experience Rom to get official so i can switch to Custom Rom.

Sold my Z2 Plus and bought the F1 yesterday. The Z2 was amazing for Custom ROM development, but the 820 was getting outdated, and I needed a nice upgrade. What better phone than the one made for development? Super excited to start flashing ROMs when it arrives!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sprint82:
Hi everyone and happy New year.

I switched from a redmi note 4 4/64 GB to the Poco 6/64 GB Black global Version. A nice phone, but the google mod on my old redmi note 4 was quite a little bit better in terms of speed. The Poco is a bit slow but Hey it's "New" and the development is just started. So relax and use as pretty good daily driver.

Nice to be Part of this big community.

Greetings from good old Germany.

Hi, just upgraded from my beloved Nexus 5. I did not think that I'm so satisfied by the Pocophone. Waiting for stable MIUI + gcam, but stock cam is totally ok for now!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] totalgaara:
Have it from almost one week and i'm loving that phone. So beautiful and so great performance, everything is good ! I was afraid of somes issues with it that i see on internet like screen bleeding but i don't have it so is fine (apparently all phone with date "xx/10" are fixed). and seriously, don't you think that MIUI is awesome ? I like that system ui! sûre is more heavy than android stock but i don't think on a phone with that CPU that will affect it.

i just have two "minor issue"

The screen is a little bit sensitive, and that's not that we found online, like "ghost click" on PUGB etc it's fine, i just that i've a cover and sometime i can open apps when he is closed x), i think it's most related to my cover

I always got a notification "Unable to active sim card 2. Unable to send verification message (apparently for geolocalisation), in the sim tray i've my operator sim and a micro sd card, i can call, send messages, use my data without any issue so i don't know

but really, that's issues are not important at all
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] benryu:
Hey guys. Just got my Poco F1 (128GB) for New Year's. Moving from my 3 year old Nexus 6P. Been a Nexus lover from start. However with the pricing of the Pixel series I was forced to look at alternatives and I had been tracking Poco from the day of launch. Glad I got this one.

Waiting to unlock bootloader and root.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
For the second issue, maybe try to login to miui services.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohitchechani:
I was using S9+(128 Gb Version) and Mi A1....The Mi A1 was showing its age battery not lasting 8 hours.

Got the Poco F1 from Flipkart Sale by exchanging Mi A1 for Rs .6700/-. Effective price Rs .13300/- (USD 190) as an early Birth day Present...

Loving the POCO so far...no bug found.......The Touch responsiveness is a tad bit faster

P.S My birthday is on 3rd Jan:p:p
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hyborian:
I second that, I find MIUI awesome, and I like Huawei's EMUI too, especially the Oreo version, even if I can't root it. I've tried other ROMS, but I still like MIUI, and it is constantly updated (i,e, Global Beta versions).

My kid broke the screen of her Huawei, so I "inherited" it and got it repaired, while she got herself a Pocophone. Love this Huawei Mate 10, amazing battery when idle, like 100% before you sleep, and still 100% in the morning. I don't know how Huawei does it, but I never miss a message or call.

My wife got fed up with her 3GB Iphone 8+, she is a heavy social apps user, she went to get a Pocophone too. In the end she got overwhelmed by Android's features and settings and decided that the simpler Apple was for her. So I "inherited" her Pocophone while she went on to the Iphone X.

I get all the "unwanted" phones in this house ...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] BintEd:
Hi, happy new year everyone1

I upgraded from a Xiaomi Mi A1 (Google One phone).

Overall I am getting used to MIUI, I am on "MIUI Global 10.1 | Stable (10.1.3.0)".

It's surprisingly good, taking into account that I was used to a pure stock Android experience.

With Pie updateI I found some bugs. The overall experience will be very good when/if they fix it.

Problems found so far:

- Now i cannot disable the notch!!! To my disgrace, I really liked the way the phone looks with notch disabled (WTF Xiaomi?! Removing features without warning is NOT a good thing...)

- Volume slider does not always show up when acting on physical volume key (is this a know bug or just my experience, for some reason?)

- I am not getting informed about new notifications: I always have to swipe down once in a while in order to spy on new notifications :/

Not a bug, more of a personal taste issue:

MIUI "squared" Iconset is somewhat ugly (to my taste!) and icon packs from Playstore often miss several apps icons - this results in a less consistent experience. I'm yet to find a Pixel-alike iconset that matches it all.

When con pack does not have an icon match to some app, Ideal solution would be to just "embed" default app icon in the circle (or whatever the icons aspect is) - but I guess that's too complex to achieve as I'm yet to see a pack with that functionality, at least with stock launcher.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ydd0ras:
If you like NOS, then use on p0c0 as well. Stable and reliable. For good pics you can use the MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.3c_fix_TlnNeun_xcam_5_beta6.apk with NightSight.

Other good ROMs are LOS (of course!), AOSiP or AICP.

edit: i remember the time where we fighted for a thread for the mi2s and now all love the xiaomi phones :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vabby123:
Well Hi! :)

I had switched to the Realme 2 Pro in Oct 2018 from Lenovo Vibe K4 Note but, to my surprise I discovered that bootloader unlocking and rooting and custom roms is not a thing on Realme devices which I did not research before buying the phone as I just fell for the awesome hardware specs it provided in my budget. :o

Also Realme has a terribly looking, inconvenient, half baked, and super security ColorOS on that phone which I personally feel. ( and just hate that ColorOS Skin sooooo much )

I had Poco F1 on my mind to buy ( before Realme 2 Pro ) was launched but somehow after its launch I decided to buy the 128GB 8GB RAM variant of it ( for INR.18000/- ) which was in my budget of INR.20,000/- as I was only going to get 6GB RAM & 64GB storage + hybrid sim slot if I would buy the Poco F1 which was available for INR.21000/- at that time. Storage plays a primary role for me.

But I had such a terrible experience with the ColorOS & software of Realme 2 Pro. We were promised by Realme that we would get to unlock our phones and also get the Kernel Source Codes release by January 15 2019 so I decided to wait for some time and then we could have some good AOSP Roms on XDA for my Phone and then I could flash those and live happily ever after. "BUT" despite promising to provide the complete set of kernel source codes, Realme has provided only the minimal basic source codes which I am sure are not sufficient to make a stable daily driver custom Rom. Also the procedure of unlocking the bootloader is a mess. After releasing the minimal basic source codes, Realme has stated that it will take them "SEVERAL WEEKS" to provide the complete set of source codes, ( and by "several weeks" I know that means atleast a minimum of 2 months ) and again it will take atleast 1-2 months for a "Usain Bolt" developer to build a semi stable/stable custom rom for the device. I have waited patiently and dealed with the ColorOS on Realme for 3 months already and now I can't take any more of it and looking at Realme's such a behaviour I DON'T TRUST THEM ANYMORE :mad:

So I decided to sell the Realme 2 Pro and better buy the Poco F1 regardless of the downgrade in storage coz the MIUI 10 is simply AWESOME. It's full of customizations & themes, good battery backup, lag free premium UI experience, and so much to say about. ( Also has some minor bugs & gliches :D BUT not a BIG deal for me though ) Plus I have crazy amount of options to choose from for custom roms here on XDA :highfive:

So I have gotten rid of the Realme 2 Pro and here I am, owning the Poco F1 64GB Rosso Red Variant which I luckily bought just for INR.18,600/- due to the ongoing Republic Day Sale :cool:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurjot95:
Hey all, I ordered this couple of days back for Rs 17,200 (246 USD). I am waiting to set it all up the moment I receive with customizations but it seems we need to wait 72 hours to unlock bootloader. What ROM and Kernel do you suggest for me to try? I have been looking at LineageOS, Nitrogen OS, Pixel Experience and Resurrection Remix.

I am also pretty worried about this phone's screen after I saw some YouTube videos how its screen recieved the cracks the first time it was dropped. Do you suggest any screen guard or cover?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] willro14:
Hi guys

Coming from S7 edge with broken display, wanted to try other companies and then saw Poco,

Really amazing, as everybody waiting for the 72 hours to unlock. Meanwhile checking recommendations on ROMs
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupin The Third:
Welcome! Poco is a cute surprise!

Personally, I went back and forth on some custom roms. But seems to settle on the stock global beta. And not feeling any urge to flash a custom rom at the moment.

I'll see how far I can go with a stock miui rom! :victory:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramg77:
Hi, I am in my first week of enjoying this great phone and I can not complain because it has exceeded my expectations. The only thing that does not convince me at all is the version of Miui that brings, I would have preferred a classic Miui but with time I think I'll get used to it.

Greetings.

From a Poco user

Hi, I've been using Poco since October 2018 and i never knew this special thread existed? a discrete Poco group! It's so lovely to read how everyone is excited on owning their Poco, some go advanced enough to unlock and flash custom roms, reading those posts i felt so excited that i wanna join this thread as a member too (I've only been reading XDA forum for a few years).

Anyways, a big Hello to everyone of this Poco ownership thread! My Poco is currently running AospExtended rom with my fav Dolby and Viper modules (besides Extreme kernel) thanks to all Devs for their amazing works.

Do let me know if anyone would like to know about the customisation I've done in mine. Apart from that, I'm all eyes and ears to whatever you all discuss here as I'm willing to learn more. ?

P.s. My very first post in XDA in years, would love to be a member and learn to do some dev related works.

Hey Hey.

Coming from HTC10 and Pixel 1. Battery issues had me looking for an upgrade and while I would have loved a Pixel 3 price in NZ is prohibitive! Specs on Poco looked good and then I saw the Pixel Experience thread on this site and decided to give it a try. Got the phone a week ago, installed PE 2 days ago (first time flashing a ROM - lots of conflicting and spotty info out there!) and loving it so far.

Hi guys,

A new user of Pocophone F1 here. Been using my Moto Z Play and LG V20 then this. This was a big change for me considering how cheap the phone is.

Would just like to know if there's a big difference using the MIUI EU rom instead of the stock ROM. Like how is it for you guys?

I bought this phone primarily for its battery feedback coming from the users and its performance. I often do mods on my previous phones but this phone has been good enough for me even on stock ROM (except for the notifications).

Would like to know your ideas guys if it's a good leap to change to MIUI EU instead of stock.

Thanks.

Hi friends,I brought poco f1 2 weeks ago, as i love miui ,its a great phone at that price range.camera is good enough.previously i used Asus zenfone zoom s but unfortunately one month ago it dropped from my hand n display crashed so i decided to buy a new phone waited some days till 3rd week of feb for note 7 pro ,hear some news says this phone comes at end of march n i cant wait long so i decided to buy poco f1.

Now Redmi note 7 pro camera is awesome but poco f1 has a good processer.

Overall i m happy with poco f1.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ydd0ras:
I have many Xiaomi devices and the Poco as well. But I mostly use custom ROMs instead of MIUI. If MIUI, then only Xiaomi.EU or mi globeROM. Both a based on China developer ROMs. And both have some optimizations that are not available in the MIUI Global builds. For difference check here:

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/xiaomi-eu-vs-global-rom-differences.37425/

The most important reason for me, that you the amount of bloatware is reduced.

But thus I almost use custom ROMs like LOS, AOSiP or NOS.

Have fun with your p0c0. [emoji4]
