Are you still using Pocophone F1 in 2023? 🤔 Hit me up in the comments!
I just moved to a Sony Xperia 1 IV.
Yep, still using it but with pixel experience! The Pocophone F1 never dies!
Yes i do
Yes boss!
I'm still use pocophone..amazing phone 4 year ago..not sell it yet..so many memory that phone:)
My friend is still using it and he says it's the best phone he's ever had and he has no plans replacing it. Such an amazing and revolutionary phone! The next best Poco was surely the X3 Pro! Already miss those days when Poco slayed
Agreed! This was such an epic phone at launch, it’s no wonder it has held up so well!
I had a pocophone f1 for some time for the price is the best flagship performance you can get at the time and the phone died on me late 2021 i really liked the phone and now i am using a poco x3 pro and i love it
I'm planning to buy a new poco f1 for ₹13000
Is it a good deal??
Help me
@@b127shorts me too bro
@@randstuffs I'm planning to sell
I am also using it for the past 4.5 years and I love it. I also got it in September 2018.
Awesome to hear!
The Poco F1 started it all! Such a remarkable device for its price I need!
A great flash back my friend 😄✌👍
I'm glad you enjoyed this blast from the past my friend! Truly a legend phone! 😁
Still using it after 3.5 years. Can't describe how much I love it )
I was using a Poco F1 from 2019 until 2021 and it was honestly the best experience I've ever had on a phone up to this day. The "flagship killer" name is getting thrown around left and right nowadays but I believe it is one of the few phones genuinely worthy of the title.
Building around a current generation flagship as its centerpiece, Poco did a great job with the rest of the phone. Excellent build quality, decent speakers, lasting battery, a quick and secure fingerprint reader, and a HEADPHONE JACK. The cameras are also hugely underrated (I was using GCam mods the entire time so I can't speak for others) but damm they were good, to the point where people are asking me whether I was using an iPhone or a DSLR camera. I also loved when it was easy transferring data between the main and second space, I guess android restricted that feature now.
It was the first time that I've had a flagship-level device and it performed well beyond my expectations, that I never looked back at cheap phones and made me always look for the best value ones. The only regret I have with the Poco F1 is that I didn't try to get the maxed out variant with 256gb of storage and that kevlar back. Holy.
I sold it last year with a broken screen (although everything else was working fine), I had to replace it as I was running out of storage as I only had the base variant. I've used the Mi 11 and the S20 FE since, but I still believe that the Poco F1 gave me the best experience on a phone.
It may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that Poco has been doing a great job with its phones especially with the F line, with the F3 and F4 both being great value phones although I haven't had them.
Right now I'm looking to get the Xiaomi 13, Redmi K60 (possibly Poco F5/Pro), or maybe switching to Apple.
I can't even remember using this phone😂😂 I think I gave it to one of my cousin. But great phone I must say in its own time.
I love Poco, even for the fact that I have top of the line iphone and flagship Android, I'm still using my Poco F3 as my daily driver.
MIUI all the way. Oh how could I have forgotten the awesome daughter of yours, so of course she knew the outro ❤️😅
Thanks Benjamin! This is truly a legend! Glad you had a chance to use a long time ago! Appreciate the support and my daughter says hi! 😅
Still using the Pocophone F1 (as of today 6th Mar. 2023). I bought it in Sept., 2018 shortly after release. I have really taken good care of it from the beginning {my previous phone was the Samsung s5}. My battery is still taking me through the day and I keep my battery-charge between 85% to 25%. SO many thing I really like which, sadly, we don't see in cellphones today; esp. the 3D IR face-unlock even in pitch-black darkness, not to mention the 'still hanging-on' 3.5mm headphone jack, fingerprint button in the rear and the size (6,18"); sweet spot. I'm seriously looking forward to the Pixel 7a when it arrives in late-May/June, however I really would enjoy some recommendations of a 2023 phone which would be "the newer twin" to the F1, ...thanking you, anyone, in advance. 💕
I picked mine up around october 2018 and still using it today. Just recently had to change the battery and it was good to go. Will be sticking with this one for a longer time before I end up buying a new one.
My mom loved this phone until the moment she decided to take a photo in the car... it went flying by the window at 130kmh 😂.
Sure it got destroyed, but I was still able to use the display and transfer all of her photos until it died.
Great phone!
Wow that’s a crazy story! Thanks for sharing! Truly epic! 😃
so what I got from this comment is that its slightly indestructible? nice
I still have my F3 as my second device. These are great inexpensive devices.
Yup, still using it, any recommended battery for this F1?
Sold it to my friend as an upgrade for his ancient smartphone..i think it's from 2015-2016 like that..but then my little brother bought Poco F1 2nd hand from stores..seeing him using it happily makes me kinda missing my sold Poco F1 tho..but yeah seeing my friend who bought that phone from me that also happy with it makes me happy myself..this phone is still in memories till now as my 1st experience with flagship performance SoC..
Thanks for the video Frankie. Love them.
My F1 is still in use till this day. Waiting for the F5 to consider after the first. Hoping that one stacks up to my expectations. But even then I hope to have the F1 as a backup device. It is truly a trail blazer and I am glad for it.
Never buy a poco phone now or in future. So many hardware problems and buggy software, you'll not be able to use the phone for minimum 2 years.
@@sudhakar7889 I'll keep that in mind. I actually use other brands too so we shall see .
@@i007tosee Avoid it at any cost. This is the respect for your hard earned money. That's how bad the situation of Poco is.
Saw your initial review of the Poco F1, bought the phone, as well as the Poco F2 Pro
I use the Poco F1 on & off just to admire it & still believe it has solid camera performance with Gcam installed. As an Iphone user, must say that face unlock is wicked fast !
It was truly a revolutionary phone that made me fall inlove with android ❤
It launched in the last week of August in 2018. I bought it from the first sale and received it on 29th Aug. Just a week ago I upgraded to Galaxy S23 ultra from Poco F1. I loved POCO F1 but last month i faced the first hardware issue, which was related to the volume key . I got that volume key replace in just $16 and it's working fine now.
Other things i noticed that phone got slower overtime with updates, even from the MI's app updates. Even with time battery performances also degraded. I thought that with the time processor and battery had become weak because of excessive gaming. I also tried flashing but the performance didn't improve. Yeah its still usable but not as fast as it was used to be. Recently, I rooted it to pixel rom and found out that SD845 is still performing awesome. It was MIUI which degraded the performance. I will suggest to install custom ROM, If you still want that flagship like fast performance from POCO F1.
samw experience, phone unusable the more miui upgrade. Port out to pixel experience now. works like a charm😂👍👍👍
Wow !!! I really love 💗 this retro reviews. Absolutely priceless!! Another legend of a phone is the Redmi note 3 pro. Timeless.
Glad you enjoyed bro! Saludos!
I didn't have luck with it. My pne had the display problem where it had ghost touches and sometimes it didn't even respond to getures and touches. I really wanted to love it. It was a great phone. The camera was awesome with gcam and the battery was amazing. Sadly i had to give it away the touch issue was too frustrating. If not for that i would have loved it.
I am still using as of December 2023. It is still a solid phone for basic use and low demanding gaming. Not to mention that physically still holds up (mine is navy) and in my opinion, the design still holds up even with some elements that obviously dates it, like the infamous notch. Sticking to the design, this is something that I have yet seen somebody mention and maybe it's just me that really like it, but there is this metallic color thin border that separates the back from the screen that I really love and I feel gives it a unique look. This is the phone that has lasted me the longest and giving the usual cycles people go through phones, I sometimes stop and look in amazement that this thing still freaking runs after all these years (I got it at launch by the way). Now, to be honest, I've had very rare hiccups (2-3 times a year) where it would seem to not load the icons on screen and I need to restart but outside of that, it still runs smoothly for basic daily functions. I think I might upgrade in 2024 but I am certainly keeping this baby as a backup. Long live the Poco F1!
I have it and I was thinking on changing to F4 but didn't get very convinced and just got a battery change and everything is good, I'm thinking on changing ROM to AwakenOS 13, I'm in Pixel Experience 12
Bought it from AliExpress on this day exactly 5 years ago. I bought the 6gb ram/128 gb rom version and I have been using it ever since. The Snapdragon 845 has aged really well
There are couple of time poco took so many pics better in my phone but need good lighting and can you show options in the edit which received so many updates. 😁
Im feel old when i see poco f1😭😢.. How fast time is?
I'm still using the F1, 4,5 years as my main phone. Replaced my battery last year, but reverted back to the original one. The replacement battery I got wasn't good, and it probably only has half the charge of the original one. I'm thinking about replacing it soon with a x5 Pri or F5 or Redmi Note 12 pro and continue to use it for media consumption at least. But I may end up using it for one more year it still holds up with occasional stutters and lags in certain application. Best phone I ever had. Period. I love everything about it and especially the design (barring the notch). If they would rerelease it with Android13 I'd buy it.
Oh man, I remember that one or two friends of mine I know on Discord used this phone when it came out. I never had an opportunity to get one cuz I wasn't a fan of a notch back in my old times. For the price, the value is actually so insane back in the day. Nowadays, there's still a good custom ROM support for it. Poco F1 is I gotta say, the greatest budget flagship of 2018.
Agreed with that! Yeah the notch was polarizing, but honestly it made room for the excellent 3D Face ID equivalent, just such an awesome feature that still works flawlessly to this day. A truly epic release!
I am still using it since 2018 when it came out. It is one of the best phones ever. I just yesterday replaced my battery cause the old one wasnt getting me through the day. Replaced it myself in about 30 minutes with no problems. Now its like new and i plan on using it for a long time to come.
Wow what a great timing I just replaced the battery of this Poco F1 like a minute ago. This is now my son's after using it for 4 years upgraded to an F3. Watching from a Poco F1, amazing phone still snappy and my son loves this phone especially he games a lot. Awesome awesome awesome.
I'm using the mi 9t❤️❤️😌
Nice! Another iconic device!
I love this phone. Using a F3 now. It is just as great too. No complaints here. Doesn't miss face Id because of the side mounted fingerprint.
yes i am still using it !!!! btw there is still AOSP custom Rom as Pixel experience feature from many devs and that's crazy stable and Android 13 even now OTA updates are there, the devs are incredibly good.
I still have this phone as my second / backup device and the only real withdrawn and main reason I changed it, is that after A LOT of rough usage, the battery started to decline (it used to make 1,5-2 day battery under heavy use when I got it), but now barely makes it a half day. Despite that was by far one of the best and VFM phones I have ever bought. I wish Xiaomi/ Poco continued to make similar phones nowadays.....
Still using it , battery was almost dead so replaced it last week! Stock MIUI after 12 update became crappy. So , custom is the way to go. Currently running PixelPlus UI on A13 super smooth
I'm still using it. Very happy. I just wish i had a wide angle camera and some zoom
Watching this in my POCO F1❤. Using it since 2018
I went back memory lane with this phone! My brother had that phone.
I've had mine since launch, and what would the Pocophone F1 be in 2022/23?
Watching this video on my primary device Poco F1. Bought it on launch sale 🔥
For some reason, mine lags terribly when it comes to receiving notifications from apps. Maybe I need to format it again 🤷🏾♂️
Still using this phone from Sep 2018. Mine is blue.
Wow nice! Blue was beautiful too!
Yes. The poco f1 of my wife is still functioning well, along with my redmi note 5 ai. :D
Nice to hear! Love this legend!
@@FrankieTech btw. Someone was using your name in the last raffle, replied in my comment claiming that I won. Saying contact him through telegram, dont know if it is really u.
Using f1 nowadays but ithink my camera performance/quality decreased😢,,i dont know what to do for get old camera performance🙂
I'm still using the F1 since Dec 2018. The best phone I had that lasted almost 5 years! The only problem I have is that the battery is going low fast. Is it worth to change new battery or should I upgrade to a newer Poco? If yes which one is a great replacement for the F1?
Gave it to my mom, still running like a beast, after flashing some stock rom. The community support is amazing. The fact that this phone is no-nonsense, it's just unrivaled. Cracked your housing? Replace it, super cheap. I've also replaced the LCD which is also inexpensive
Im still using Pocophone F1
I have a Poco F3 and I love it
I brought mine on the day of release in India and it is by far the best phone I've ever used..if only I could use it forever.. I've moved countries and all the paperwork i got it done on my Poco f1, no laptop was needed.
Its aged well now and it served me well and beyond for the price and it's time for me to part ways ... Currently switching to pixel 8 but Poco f1 will always be my best phone ever!
The best thing is the IPS LCD screen! It won't get any burn in like all of the AMOLED displays after some years. You can use it another 4-5 years and the display would still be perfect 😁
Btw using f3 and planning to sell it and buy F5 Pro (Redmi K60), but we'll see 😅
Yes I agree the f1 LCD is better than AMOLED 100%
Looks like a great looking device, Never had the F1 but you sparked me and I threw a sim in my Redmi Note 9s. Xiaomi is SO smooth. I may have to grab a Poco X5 Pro 5G.
My wife has had her Poco F1 for nearly 5 years now and is just thinking of upgrading although it still does all she needs.
The original battery started bubbling up but I managed to replace it for her and the phone still functions great!
I got the S23 ultra but still using my PocoF1 as my secondary phone. Still works great after 4 years. Battery got bloated and changed to a new one. Now working as new.
The phone that shook the world. 🙂
That it did John! That it did!
Got mine in January 2019 and still using it !
The phone is still quite decent despite slowing down sometimes and decreased battery performance which is not surprising.
the only deal breaker for me is that the memory slot is not working so I only depend on the internal memory..
As of today, I only have 2 Gb left..
I'm thinking of maybe switching to the S23 ultra.
Empty your storage to make like atleast 50 GB free and viola, the phone becomes exactly like new. I did it and the battery life and performance is back to normal.
Its my main phone till now about 5years its the best gcam almost all modders all versions working on it we have galaxy 52s and reno 6 with my family and my camera still the best games works on highest graphics the only downside is the display when you turn off reading mode it got smooky around edges , the wifi and signals strenght isnt good,( miui is trash) other than that its daaaaamn good for the price
I still have the Poco F1 red color variant, its still good to this day, but i don't use it as my main phone. Its a gem❤.
I'd definitely recommend it for a mid user in 2023, I was one of the first who got this phone when it was released and still a good of a deal and iam using it as my prime phone with over 300 apps installed and iam using it for work, study photography etc.. And it's just great, even a flagship phone that time wouldn't even compare to poco f1, and iam using g cam and it's just enough for social media..
I have the Armoured Edition 8/256. And jist today, Aug 3 2023 I had the battery replaced. Im planning to keep it until it really dies on me. Still on of the best phones I had. 👍🏼
Mine's display is toasty but the good thing is that I have a USB attachment that you can connect the phone to an HDMI display and I am using my Poco F1 as an android tv like device for my movie streaming and retro games
You should do a video with K20 pro or Redmi note 8 pro those are legends!
I broke the original screen and have it fixed with an lcd replacement from shopee. The screen quality has never been the same. No other problems experienced. Bought a 12t pro yesterday as my main phone
Still using my F1 as my main device, planning to switch away now since it's lacking NFC, brighter LED screen and OIS. I think a phone of this age should have had NFC from the beginning, I mean come on it has the top tier SoC of 2018, as well as OIS at least, should've not been that hard to put OIS since it has the same camera sensor as the Mi 8 (a top tier device).
Not sure what you mean "why no other android phone got it". LG had it in his G8. Huawei in their whole Mate lineup. The Mate 50 Pro brings back the notch even with the 3D face unlock. That btw. can also be used for payment and unlocking files and apps for biometrics just like von iPhones. Honor also has 3D face unlock.
Got this phone in November 2019. Definitely the best phone I've ever used. It got busted for a while and I had to use a Redmi Note 10 Pro for some time. Just wasn't anywhere close to this beast of a phone. Sold it and fixed my F1. Now going strong with Project Elixir custom ROM. Using GCam, this phone's camera is amazing. And I feel like having Android 13 has upped the camera performance too.
My Mi Max 3 is still alive and kicking. It still using the original battery. It doesn't have any problem.
We are using Android 13 also on my Max 3 ! Good phone like the F1
Is this still available in our country?(Philippines) what store?
Watching this right now at my newly bought 2nd hand Pocophone. After 3.5 years this is my first time having a Flagship phone and all i can say is, it was really the best.
Used pocofone f1 for 4 years and got a new Pixel 6 10days ago. Man I really missed the face unlock and fast fingerprint scanner. Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner is so bad it doesn't even work most of the time. F1 has same camera as Pixel 3,4 and 5 and even 6a. A great phone.
I still am using one. Prior to it I was using the Razer Phone 1, and was to upgrade to Razer Phone 2 in 2018, but I had an accident so I only had money left for the Pocophone F1. Nevertheless, it was the best ever decision I made about tech. This still blows out of the water today's mid-rangers so I am not really compelled to replace it anytime soon. I used to upgrade every year and was hooked to Samsung's note series from the very first one. Then I got tired of the curved edge displays, likewise the greenish tint that AMOLED displays develop overtime so in 2017 I took up the Razer Phone 1, which was an LCD and the first phone with 120Hz refresh rate display outside of Japan. The LCD in Razer Phone 1 though was not that good so I doubted my decision on switching from AMOLED. Then came the Pocophone F1. By today's standards of course it is not the best anymore, but the screen held up its color accuracy all these years. Even its battery held up pretty good- with the Note series the battery is noticeably degraded after only a few months, while the Pocophone F1 still gives me around 6 hours of screen on time, that's only 2 hours less from previously 8 hours SOT I was getting when it was new, and this is after almost 5 years! My only complaint since day 1 was that Netflix can never be streamed in HD. I also dropped it countless of times and the only thing it can show for it is a tiny scratch on the bottom right hand corner of the frame. I am planning to keep using it until it croaks.
Yes, still use it as my daily main phone running on lineage bellerium android 13.
It's still fast, reliable, never lets me down and battery life still good too.
Really font of the gcam 8.6 so photos and videos are nice. Film in 4k and photo in 4032 X 3024 resolution for instance, nightmode, vr, integrated Google lens.
I plan to keep using it until it dies!
I passed down my F1 for an F3. So, yes, it's still being used for a lot of gaming too.
I love my poco F1. I've been using it for 4 years but now i find some issues with it. Like, when i turn it on, it hangs for 2-3 minutes. And also, battery drains really faster now. Could you give me some tips about these issues. I get frustated mainly because of the hanging issues. I loved it 😞😞
miui problem, and mybe storage getting full. Port out, flash custom rom like Pixel experience, works like charm
Still using my f1, i already replaced the battery and back cover. But as a whole this phone is still bussin!
Had one from launch till now. Such a reliable and powerful beast. It's the best phone I've ever had and I will miss it for sure...
Watching this video on my poco F1!! Works like a charm in 2023 with custom rom.
What custom rom are u using?
Still using it up to this day. I installed custom rom and it's still snappy AF.
I gave this phone to my dad, since he just using featured phone for a loooong time 🤣
got the f1 september 2018 too, I just replace the battery a weeks ago
Pocophone is currently my daily driver. However just bought Poco X5 Pro. ~ served me well for those 5 years.
I was using it but after some update my battery fuckedup😢 it was a great phone!!
Please dude, try to review the mi 9T pro in 2023
Still using it as my main in May 2023, great phone for its price and age.
Since December 2018 , i m still using it. Last month (November 2023) I changed its battery. I i have no idea to go for new one. Very powerfu poco f1 so long. l
My wife is still using it. The most underrated feature of all time is the IR sensor face unlock , works in no light as well.
Still using it after replacing the battery. Flagship killer definitely. The price, updates it gets from sub brand of Xiaomi is great. Some of the other phones didn't get such support & costs more!
Watching this on poco f1 n loving it ❤
Still using it as my main device, bought this in September 2019. I am running a custom rom based on Android 13 and it runs very smooth, since i travel a lot within my city the phone has collected a lot of dust near the camera area l, 3.5 mm jack etc and battery had to be replaced once because of my poor charging habits but aside from that im still very happy to use this phone even for another year
how to install androidn13 i bought one
How much the battery replacement costs bro?

I'm still using Pocophone f1 up to this day, but I am bothered because this phone always hang. It hangs twice in a day. Can someone help me with this issue? I wanna get rid of this.
still have my poco F1 though it's starting to get some black screens already but it really is a good phone
Let's hope the Poco F5 is half as good
Let’s hope so!
I replaced mine with the F3 last year but still use it as a back-up. Only reason was I wanted 5G. Apart from the crap video stabilization, I think the camera is great and deserves more credit than you give it. Plus mine still gives an easy full day's use on a single charge after four years of faithful service.
I just recorded an in-vehicle tutorial with the Poco F1, and the stabilization worked really well.
On screen it was wobbly, but when I played it after the recording - it was fine.
@@JustRelx Whatever, the stabilization of the F3 is far better.
still using f1 till today from the first launched in indonesia, i want to upgrade but i can not find a better camera with this price range, changed the internal battery twice, that is the only cons for me, battery..
I have poco f1, still good in 2023 (more then 4 years done) just one question is bothering me))) how to upgrade damn camera???
I still have my Pocophone F1 Armored Edition. 👌
The fast face unlock in pitch dark is insane!
I don't use my Poco F1 anymore, but I could if I wanted to. Well I'm not sure if 3G would work as well anymore. I may try it though one day just to see.
Just picked up one now for $45 us mint condition it will be my backpack phone as I go some shady places to purchase tech as I am a reseller, excellent phone
I have been using it since the start of 2019 and a two years ago I installed the Pixel Experience ROM. Best thing ever. Only replacing it this year because of the battery (no more replacements here). My next phone is a Oneplus 9 👍
Do you know if my daughter can use her f1 to use at school so she don't have to carry her laptop along all the heavy books with her her to connect a keyboard and a small computerscreen on it what she can keep in her locker at school if she has this pixel experience rom?
hey hello my friend frank yesterday i bought a phone for my son type poco but it is slow gyroscope in pubg how do we fix this problem
Not sure about this one bro. I would take it back to POCO for service as it’s probably hardware related
Still using. The battery has gone down to 2600 mah from 4000 mah. But apart from that holding pretty good.
i just bought this second hand with no scratches (display changed, of-course ), No Faults, in about 85 dollar.
I am fully satisfied.
It's march 25th 2023, and the F1 is still my phone, to this very moment. Bought it used in mid 2019. Screen is spatious and still looks great. Still opens apps quickly, and runs them like a champ. I think the backside fingerprint sensor is great, easy to press with sense of touch alone, no need to look at the phone (I actually miss it on new phones). Also missing on new phones: you can put this flat on a table. Still very customizable, and after 3.5 years use, I've tuned it to be an extremely powerful tool in my daily life.
Splashed it numerous times, suffered 2 or 3 rough falls, no malfunctions. For my use, battery still lasts all day.
But... pains me to say I'll be switching soon; battery will soon show it's age, security updates are 2 years old, and the usb port is getting janky. If it weren't for this, I would use this phone forever.
The F1 is legendary phone, that allowed everyone on Earth know how it feels having the best phone on the planet in your hands.
i just change the battery myself, now works like a new phone 👍👍
My poco F1 dead after 4 yr of use..had motherboard issue...and in service centre they were asking around 100$ for new motherboard.....
