I bought a POCO F1 in 2018. Best bang for the buck. Fell in love with it for its size, weight, and battery longevity. I never ever considered replacing it. The camera broke for some reason in late 2021. It would work intermittently but the main camera picture quality was horrible. I didn't want a new phone so I tried all sorts of software fixes but nothing worked. Eventually, I had to buy a POCO X3 pro because, during the pandemic, you had to scan a QR code to enter buildings. I grew tired of filling in entrance forms just to buy a coffee. The X3 was faster and had a better screen but I absolutely hated the fingerprint reader paired with the power button on the side. Also, it was just too big to fit in my front pants pocket comfortably. I decided to have another go at fixing the F1. This time, I spent more time on testing. I even opened it up and re-seated the camera module. In the end, I suspected the camera module was broken. I replaced it with one from a cheap broken F1 I bought online. It worked and I am still using my F1 today. I gave my X3 pro to my wife since she likes large phones and size isn't an issue when you put phones in a purse or handbag. The only current replacement I am considering is the Pixel 6a. It is about the same size and weight.

Xad, 05 Mar 2022Please..I need a quick answer and thanx in advance: Is it... moreDon't buy the Redmi 11 lineup phones, they're pure crap. A huge letdown from their predecessor note 10. If you want to use it for long term then I'd suggest you go to Redmi note 10 pro max , it still is a very capable phone but only lacks in 5g . Or there's also Samsung f23 something which has sd750 5g which is also not bad . Don't buy a brand new pocofone at this time, it's not worth it also you can get it in second hand for about 80-100$ ~8-10k INR . But if you want you can still go with it , for software you can slap on a custom rom and keep it going for years and just need to get the battery replaced. Hope my answer was helpful

Jemlim, 13 May 2022Are you serious? You're still using this in 2022? That... moreSD845 is still more powerful than SD695 (aka the rip-off-buyer chip) and with daily charge it's absolutely fine. On top of that use LineageOS which is very lightweight and day to day task doesn't feel outdated at all. I think the rear fingerprint sensor is much better than newer ones too. One of the best phones to ever exist

I can't believe this phone has the same back camera sensor as the Pixel 3, 4 and 5.
No wonder why it takes such excellent photos. Still to date one of the best flagship killers, both in camera and performance. I'm only beginning to realize this now.

I don't know why but whenever I receive incoming call this phone restart by itself. Try using other google phone/contact app still same. I don't know if it battery issue, I can play games 2-3 hour without issue but just 1 miscall my phone restart. and fast charging charge slow now it takes 2-3 hour to full charge battery. This phone strike me after I buy 1 more new smartphone..

I haven't replaced anything. Not battery, nothing.
I love it. My biggest regret was entirely removing her protection after a year. And there's been smudges and scratches here and there.
From the outward, it isn't fresh, but does wonders internally.
Badass device!!!
