Anonymous, 30 Oct 2019The Poco was released just over a year ago, so hardly old. ... moreLess than 200 quid now got Mi8 and Mi Mix 2S at my country, also can get Honor View 20.
Around 300 quid, definitely can get K20 Pro/Mi9T Pro, and Mi9.
I would still recommend spend a little bit more and get Mi9T Pro, evem can consider getting Oneplus 7 at around the same price. These comes with better build, AMOLED screen, NFC.
1 year is already considered long for a smartphone.
Smartphone technology get renewed almost as fast for half year period.

I could go on, but for 200 odd quid, it's still an excellent smartphone to buy.

All smartphone launch later definitely will be better.
I don't even recommend this Pocophone F1 right now.
If Meizu doesn't launch the Meizu 16T, will recommend getting K20 Pro or Mi9T Pro instead.
My point is you should go compare with K20 Pro or Mi9T, or even Mi9, Oneplus 7, not this old Pocophone F1.

AnoM, 28 Oct 2019Comparing a 2019 smartphone with a 2018 smartphone?
If eve... moreExcept those phones you mentioned are more expensive than Meizu 16T, and still don't have better specs! I am not going to prefer to buy pocophone F1 or those that you listed over Meizu 16T, and the different date of release of pocophone doesn't change that.
Late 2020 phones may be better than Meizu 16T in the same price range, but they are not here yet. So for someone who buys a phone now, they are not available. So we compare with what's here, and not with what's not here.
I have yet to see the camera quality of Meizu 16T. But judging from their previous models, the camera and sound might just be great.

Please could someone tell me where the Quick pane screen has gone? It used to be to the left of the Home screen, but seems to have disappeared. Has it been discontinued in a recent firmware update, or have I turned it off accidently?

If everyone is comparing just like this way, then I can say any flagship smartphone launch in year 2020 confirm is much better than the Meizu 16T in every way.
You should compare Meizu 16T to Redmi Mi9T Pro/ K20 Pro, not this Pocophone F1.

This phone is inferior to Meizu 16T in almost every way. And let's not forget Xiaomi's famous terrible sound when recording videos. I don't know if it's present in this phone, but I am not risking it.

After using this phone for 1 year, I'm really satisfied with it.
I know, every smartphone has issues, but this phone is what it is, the cheapest SD845 smartphone that you can buy at that time, with cut corners.
It is for it's intended market, for it's intended user, who appreciate it's performance it brings at low price.
Yes, it doesn't comparable to smartphone that is higher price, but it is good at it's selling price.

abouhalima, 20 Oct 2019Is poco compatible with qc 4.0+ because some people say thi... moreHere is the 2 edges answer.
I think any smartphone with type C port support the so called QC4.0, QC4+, as it is actually USB-PD. The only thing differ would be the charging speed, the voltage and ampere drawn.
I have tested a lot of them, this Poco F1 charge at 9V 1.6A, around 15W with QC4.0/QC4+ charger, is actually a bit slower than when using QC3.0, which operate at 6V 3A, 18W.
However, both charge full at around the same time, from 0 to 100% around 2 hours.
So, my advise is, you no need look for QC4.0/QC4+ charger for this Pocophone F1, as it doesn't increase the charging speed than QC3.0. Using quick charge is quite difficult to say will affect battery life time. It is depend on the quality of battery, not really direct related to quick charge itself. However, every battery will degrade no matter if you use quick charge or not.

Now it is my long term review, after one year: It is all the good things you hear about it, non of the bad .... at first it had one or two issues and now even those are gone(still none of them were like what i was hearing around the time...they were minor and never made me restart my phone) ..... from day one till now it only once got out of power and even that was due to overnight downloading ... so no restarts due to crash or getting out of power for me only due to occasional updates. while back camera is above average(infact in very good category) but about front camera because of lack of autofocus in front facing camera it is not what you really want... it is still very nice for Instagram but if quality of selfies really matters to you don't buy this phone.

bilal, 24 Oct 2019I am using Poco f1 since 9 months & its a dud in front ... moreXiaomi has gotten so many quality issues in the past few years. The frame allows more customization while there will be more bugs. OV obviously beats Xiaomi in $300 - $400 market this year.

bilal, 24 Oct 2019I am using Poco f1 since 9 months & its a dud in front ... moreYou hanged a Snapdragon 845 SoC in your F1? What do you run? I just bought a new one and even PUBG runs smooth on HD without heating/hanging. And Call of Duty looks absolutely stunning. I am pretty happy with it. If anyone needs performance, then this one is the best under 20k.
Other then that go for Nubia Magic 3S which is the coolest device for now.
