You must realise that to make Poco F1 (and most importantly - the NAME) they made this phone with money losses to company. But they earned in followers and customers, me included.
And to tell you the truth, you don't really need 888 or gen 1 + chipsets. Unless you want to buy Black Shark or other game oriented phones to save 1-5 fps in games.
I am very happy with SD845 and I chuckle every time they introduce another SoC with the same specs as my own 3 years behind.

Bad job, gsmarena... Way to go to represent the best phone of 2018 with lower specs that it really has.
This phone has QC3 and not announced QC4.
I do have this phone since 2019. The only thing that's lacking atm is battery.

Mredul, 12 Dec 2021Still using this phone.
poco should give android 11 update... moreYou can use custom roms.. Right now I'm using Android 12 based on pixel 6 pro.. its working fine normal task and gaming improved and there is an option for increasing touch sensitivity too (touch delay was there in miui)
There are many roms.. I prefer pixel experience(Android 11) but I tried this a12 and I'll stick to it.

And like ANY type of legend, it died
And if someone doesn't get it, Nexus 5 was a legend too...

GAMIRSFM, 12 Dec 2021I rememeber people comparing this phone to the Galaxy Note9... moreIt's still quite funny how people were even comparing it with the XR. Sure Poco was better for the first few years but look who's laughing when Xiaomi didn't provide any more major updates, meanwhile, the XR will prob receive another 2-3 major updates

Your the type of yellow pages reader troll who dont know the full stories and know only the info that have gone trough dumb people telephone game that end up a fantasy of the last one who spread the lie.
Every phone brand that is old have same quality as these phones have. These are all made in same factories. Most of there hardware is mass produced by same factories and there build quality is also same like any other. All brands have there own flaws as there are not a single thing in modern day that is built to last forever and is perfect and flawless

Still quite worth it, even in 2021 if u don't mind with the slightly thick bezel and outdated display technology. Snapdragon 845 itself is still powerful enough even for heavy games and the size is perfect for one-hand use

Great phone. It took better pictures than my new F3, even with 1/4 the megapixels.
It did support 4K@60 FPS after a software update - and even the F3 can't support that today (using the built in camera app).
Also had a headphone jack, and even an RF radio for those that use it.
Mine still works perfectly. I keep it in my drawer as a backup.
Legendary phone.

I'm still using poco f1. You can get much more from it, by rooting and flashing custom recocery and roms. Currently running android 12 and it works like a charm.
