5 years of POCO F1 user here, one of the best Phone I have ever used & bought. It is still working and my mum is using it. The only drawbacks I felt were the speakers. Definitely for the price the display is something u cannot complain about. But stll apart from speakers and display it still gets the job done in 2023!
Speakers are still loud, it's because of dust which is on speakers...try to remove backpanel once and play song you will be amazed with that... while replacing new battery i removed back panel and played song that time i found the actual reason, i had blue back panel replaced with new armoured one and my speakers are working like they were on first day...
I had bought my F1 back in November 2018,and used it till Feb 2022,and the experience was stellar especially when the Pixel Cam was used in place of the default Xioami camera app.I distinctly remember the "Do the Maths" campaign done by Poco to upstage OnePlus,and also recall Beebom doing a video about debunking that particular claim.This video was nostalgic,and brought back so many cherished memories spent with this "budget flagship".
I'm currently watching this on my Poco F1. Phone is still working good, got battery changed only once. Have crossed 5 years with this phone and hope to use it for 2-3 yrs more
Man this brings back memories. I flashed countless custom roms on this baby and they all worked like a charm. I absolutely loved the customizability and capability of this phone either day to day simple stuff to heavy gaming(with which btw I won a local pubg tournament with my maties)
You think you can recommend me some best battery life roms, I'm on evolution x right now , I have redmi note 9 pro, 5000mah, but barely lasts upto afternoon with medium use.
@@dynamitepatel816 what do you mean bro , tell me , guess what miui is trash once you get into a custom room you won't go back to miui , it's that good 👍
Bought F1 on the flash sale in August 2018. Still using it as my daily driver running Pixel Experience ROM. I replaced the battery for 700 rupees last year and changed the charger once. No other issues so far. Absolute beast of a phone! 🔥
MY POCO F1 FACING BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHOFF ,IS THIS CAUSE YOU TO CHANGE BATTERY? HOW IS YOUR EXPERIENCE BY CHANGING THE BATTERY?? IWANT TO FIX MY PHONE'S PROBLEM😐 PLS HELP ME
I'm still using poco f1 from 2018 to today as my secondary phone. I use it for playing games like PES, listening to music, all social media applications and many other things. Everything is fine as hell except the battery, which I changed 3 times already.
@@maguluribhargavchowdary4453 I also used it upto last year October as my primary phone, now it's secondary and I used it daily, just the battery issue, otherwise phone is fine.
@@siddharthdevare5958 no first snapdragon naming was bad and poco selecting it they could have chosen something else and focused on build and camera, using F4 right now , F series are balanced F5 is overpowered and they had to keep more price
Let's be honest, that ONE phone that you're talking about might well be the POCO F5, with all those power-packed specs at such a low price. But, like you said, the company's track record can do wonders, and with all those motherboard issues, its unfortunate the phone doesn't get as much recognition. All we can do is hope for the best and hope POCO does something phenomenal to turn around its name and return to its past glory...
Me also using Poco F5. It awesome in any aspect expect the quality of the phone. Firstly I didn't noticed,but later on I feel the quality is not that good. The plastic back is the main thing,when we fire up the sound above 60%,plastic back gets heavily vibrated in some frequencies. I played a racing game(drive zone),while playing that game the sound of the car makes the phone heavily vibrates on the back(but that vibration really gives the feel of driving that car😅(like PS4,xbox),that feedback from back gives an amazing gaming experience.lol😅) In reality the build quality is the one thing that I feel bad about this device. POCO F5 USERS,YOU DEFINITELY TRY DRIVE ZONE(racing game) WITH A BACK CASE. THE FEEDBACK IS AMAZING 🔥😅
@@nabulsi08dude what about battery life, I feel like mine is draining little too fast. I have to put it on battery saver all the time to get a full day battery. Speakers sound worse without Dolby Atmos.
Bruv, I just switched to Z Flip 4 one month ago. I have the same Poco F1 variant that you have (Blue, 128 GB). The only problem with my unit was the battery. Even though Z Flip 4 has very low battery life compared to other normal phones in this segment, it is a huge improvement over the old Poco F1. I used DerpFest custom ROM. I even got the November 2023 security patch when I last checked it a couple of days ago. Poco F1 was truly a legend. I brought F1 with my first job. Now I brought Z Flip 4 with my new job. I'll never forget you F1.
Don't lie man. I used a poco F1 and I don't get the hype for it. Within a year, the phone was plagued with bugs and performance issues. Even normal scrolling had lots of jitters. What is the point of great hardware if it with that memeui? The only saving grace for it was custom roms but that too didn't work for me coz the bootloader wasn't unlocking no matter what. After that I decided never to buy any poco phone at a
In the same year I bought its nearest competitor.....Honor Play...it also has a flagship level chipset (kirin) i used it for around 4 years ... It slowly got slow and battery started dying. But apart from stuck in Android 9 forever ( no dark mode) it was still a good phone
Still using it as my primary, purchased on the very first sale somewhere in late Aug 2018, still rocking thanks to its amazing customization community, working flawlessly (atleast more stable compared to current gen phones under 20k), its amazing how a 5yr old sensor on this thing does a 4k 60fps, and it goes support 4g+, the only phone to come closer to this in terms of value for money is the F5, during the sale a lot on 'em have bought with exchange for around 18-19k which defo imo is a great price to buy the F5.
I think the POCO F3/Mi 11x is the new kinda flagship in 2023, works like a charm With custom roms, performance is still top notch, good display, speakers, decent camera, great rom support, and on top of that was available at 22,000 in the last sale, or you can buy it refurbished at 15-16k, still great deal in 2023 Edit: It also support 5G so future proof too
I was using poco since 2019 until recently when I bought nothing phone 2 ! I had custom rom installed on it and it worked amazing ! The battery was a huge headache though and the display felt very outdated . For 21000 rupees spent in 2019 , it was totally worth it for it to serve me 5 years ! Truly a legend
*_Poco can still be a Flagship killer even if they resurrected the Poco F1 with a better chipset (SD 8 gen 1+), Amoled display (with less notch, In-display fingerprint scanner) and an IR based Face unlock still intact._*
Poco f1 + Android 13 custom rom + BSG Gcam = Deadliest combination.... Butter smooth and Crispy pics.. Its perfect ingredients phone if you use it with a custom rom and hats off to the developer community...Still the beast.
I guess the year 2018 was the best year of value for money phones, ZenFone 5z, Poco F1 and OnePlus 6 was launched with SD845. I still own ZenFone 5z, and i can proudly say, it's still working awesome. But my friend's poco f1 starts lagging after 3yrs. 🙌
You know what! I still have an 8-year old Lumia 830. Though it is not a daily driver and with the capacitive buttons not working, it is still a gem of a phone with deep black color, always-on-display, intuitive UI (personal opinion), and the fluidity that is Windows Mobile.
Please keep making such videos!! Presently choosing a phone has become a tough task. And the ones we like are notoriously expensive. So yes if the budget doesn't allow one to buy a latest phone one can go with old king phones just like moto G32, poco F1
I am proud to say its my fith year using poco f1 armoured edition, the updates stopped long before but its still really good i had to change battery once and it last less than before.
I'm using Awaken OS, have the old Gcam, don't remember the version but that's the best one. Sometimes I feel Poco Gcam takes better pictures than my iPhone 15 plus.
Bought the armoured edition 8/256 for 24k back then, still using it with a changed battery. With G-cam it still takes awesome photos that you can easily compare with a 30k phone today. Great value and great experience. Legend!
Currently watching this on my poco f1. Been using it since December 2018. Have given consideration multiple times to purchasing a new one, but continue to use the same and very contently. Hoping to use it as long as it lasts(atleast 2 more years). 🙌
I was using it from 2019 , recently switched because of calling issue a lot of call drops but it was something really very very impressive and amazing phones which were ever made
Watching this video on poco F1. 5 years down the line the phone still working like beast. Just changes display 3 times. Overall happy to have this phone
Still using it since January 2019, had a battery change last year. Planning to continue for 2 more years ; only challenge is that MS-Teams doesnt support Andriod-10 for my work organisation
Using the 6/64 GB variant from the last 5 years since 2018. Probably the best phone considering price to performance ratio. Still finding a reason to upgrade to a newer phone. Gotta upgrade soon though
I remember how the hype was when this phone launched. The very first and best flagship killer of all time. Can't believe it was five years ago, Xiaomi was the first brand to start the trend of providing great things at affordable price ❤
In 2018 I purchased this poco F1 from my first earned money and still continuing with this phone. To be honest it is worth to have this phone and I am very fortunate and trusted poco brand at start of this launch and still no regret 🙌
I still have my poco f1 which is now my secondary device and I am using iphone 13 as my main but already my Iphone display gave up on me after a year and halfs of use but my poco is running strong with just battery drain issue. This was the best phone I had and genuinely made me happy when I got it
This was my first flagship phone ! After that I used iPhone 12 mini , 12 pro max , 13 pro max , samsung s20+ sd version . Currently I am using iPhone 13 pro max along with 12 mini however I still used poco f1 . I am using custom rom for google photos unlimited storage.
Mate, custom roms are pretty practical. Especially with the android 13 and 14 custom roms. Stuff like arrow os and derpfest os just install with ease, provided you've done the prior setup and just work. Banking apps will work too. It'll give you greater privacy due to fewer google services/apps, better security, more features, etc. And you are heavily underestimating this thing's customization value. For ~10k rupees, and with custom rom + gcam, this thing is essentially a pixel 3 xl with a worse display. And being such a famous phone, this thing will receive updates in the custom rom community. And because its xiaomi, it will crap on other phones in terms of customization. So no, even if you don't know much about custom roms, the poco f1 is the perfect phone to experiment with them since its at such a low price and packs killer specs.
I gave that phone to may dad.. and it still rocks!! The iR sensor was awesome. I'm using iQOO but i miss that feature of facial unlock in extreme darkness
I love pocof1 ....it was beast ..but still using this phone...got at 2019 played many heavy games like pubg,fortnite,call of duty , worked very smoothly.. changed battery once still using same charger...no issues so far flawless performance...got lot of memories with this baby...I still use this one....still I wish to buy this model again...Never faced any lag for 5 years.....
MY POCO F1 FACING BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHOFF ,IS THIS CAUSE YOU TO CHANGE BATTERY? HOW IS YOUR EXPERIENCE BY CHANGING THE BATTERY?? IWANT TO FIX MY PHONE'S PROBLEM😐 PLS HELP ME
I was a proud poco f1 owner and have been using it for 4.5 years no problem at all ...i changed the battery 2 times I was a heavy gamer btw even after 4 year it never slowed down that's impressive. I have been looking for an upgrade And I bought iqoo 11 by exchanging my poco and got the iqoo 11 for 43k ...😊
From 2018 i chenge multiple phones and back to f1 cause this phone vas very durable and performance was awesome now cause of custom rom it still a beast
Man..my 1st ever smartphone that also give me my 1st flagship performance experience..since that when buying new phone i always try to aim flagship performance SoC..even when buying older flagships..the experience is really different when using flagships vs budget..which is what my usual device to get before getting Poco F1..
Been using this phone since 2019 and still runs like day one. Not a single lag, glitch or stutter. Have dropped it many times and got wet also. Still holding up like a champ. Proud owner of this legendary beast. #PocoF1 #legendary
Poco F1 completed 5 years. Still working fine. Battery replaced a year ago in Poco Service Center. But the same issue still persists. Heating issue. Go out in sunlight, start using camera. May be 5-10 mins Max. Camera app will close. Can't open until it cools down. 4K feature is there. But it generates more heat.
Watching this on my poco F1. Bought it on 6 jan 2019. Almost 5 years. Undoubtedly one of best phones to enter in market. F1 showed what phone companies can make. Played pubg for 3.5 years. In pandemic literally i used to drain the phone for like 6-7 times a day. Camera is still competitive thanks to gcam. Facelock, fingerprint still working flawlessly. Currently using it for day to day normal tasks and its holding up. Yes bugs are there but I think i got used to it. But finally as a respect im going to give him rest. Quite a emotional goodbye.
Best phone i ever had ,rooted it overclocked it did a pixel software and g cam in it was giving crazy picture , best night shots too but i lost the phone while riding my bike, miss it .
I dont know why people don't consider Poco F3 as the true successor to Poco F1, but for me it absolutely is. Albeit being priced slightly higher at launch, its price reduced sharply within a few months, it had a flagship processor, good enough camera, a premium design, flagship display, stereo speakers and good haptics. The ommission of headphone jack was definitely a bummer but its pros substantially outweighed the cons.
bought it almost 5.25 years back .. still using it as my primary device .. working fine .. no issue .. i have an ipad , a mac .. will uprage to 15 pro max soon .. but this phone will always be in my memory as it was with me since my 8th class to my first year ..
Bought one in 2019 and still have it as my daily running Android 13 Pixel Experience. Overall very smooth for daily use and casual gaming. Still has at least another year left before I retire it or relegate it to secondary phone.
Still using it as a secondary phone with pixel rom. Swapped the battery out recently with a duplicate one, unfortunately Poco is not supporting the phone in service center anymore (no spares).
The catch was the light bleed on the bottom of the lcd. Many people had touch lag on edges too. And no its not the first phone that created the 'budget flagship' segment. That would be the xiaomi mi 3.
POCO F1 owners, past and present, raise your hand! 🙌
I still have it!!❤

@@viramaraharv5388 yup it did had IR Face scanner, same tech that apple uses

Watching this video on poco F1. 5 years down the line the phone still working like beast. Just changes display 3 times. Overall happy to have this phone
5 years and on. My phone is holding strong. Thankful that I purchased my PocoF1 in the very first sale!! ❤
🙌 Watching this video on a Poco F1 bought in 2019, using it as my daily driver. Runs smooth till this day.
We have got one Poco F1 as replacement for a Poco X2 which had motherboard issue. Now its with us as a backup phone.
Still using it since January 2019, had a battery change last year. Planning to continue for 2 more years ; only challenge is that MS-Teams doesnt support Andriod-10 for my work organisation
I've been running this phone for 5 years straight. Just needed to change the battery once(which was caused by my fault)
Was using POCO F1 since 2019, last month upgraded my self to S23. now planning to use it as my back up phone.
My poco 5 year completed , proud to be poco owner I will use it atleast 4 more years . ❤❤
Using the 6/64 GB variant from the last 5 years since 2018. Probably the best phone considering price to performance ratio. Still finding a reason to upgrade to a newer phone.
Gotta upgrade soon though
I remember how the hype was when this phone launched. The very first and best flagship killer of all time. Can't believe it was five years ago, Xiaomi was the first brand to start the trend of providing great things at affordable price ❤
In 2018 I purchased this poco F1 from my first earned money and still continuing with this phone. To be honest it is worth to have this phone and I am very fortunate and trusted poco brand at start of this launch and still no regret 🙌
I still have my poco f1 which is now my secondary device and I am using iphone 13 as my main but already my Iphone display gave up on me after a year and halfs of use but my poco is running strong with just battery drain issue. This was the best phone I had and genuinely made me happy when I got it
I still use it along with iPhone 13 as a daily driver these days. Hard to get such compact practical phones these days :-)
I have bought a Poco F1 on the launch day sale and used it for 3.5 years and now I have upgraded to Poco F5, this too was bought on day 1 of sale.
This was my first flagship phone ! After that I used iPhone 12 mini , 12 pro max , 13 pro max , samsung s20+ sd version . Currently I am using iPhone 13 pro max along with 12 mini however I still used poco f1 . I am using custom rom for google photos unlimited storage.
Used for 5 years launch till now.. never lagged, good photos, good gaming ..
Mate, custom roms are pretty practical. Especially with the android 13 and 14 custom roms. Stuff like arrow os and derpfest os just install with ease, provided you've done the prior setup and just work. Banking apps will work too. It'll give you greater privacy due to fewer google services/apps, better security, more features, etc.
And you are heavily underestimating this thing's customization value. For ~10k rupees, and with custom rom + gcam, this thing is essentially a pixel 3 xl with a worse display. And being such a famous phone, this thing will receive updates in the custom rom community. And because its xiaomi, it will crap on other phones in terms of customization.
So no, even if you don't know much about custom roms, the poco f1 is the perfect phone to experiment with them since its at such a low price and packs killer specs.
Using poco f1 on custom rom and kernel. It was literally ahead of its time. IR face unlock is just smooth in pitch black🥶
Still have both of F1s working just fine. Flashed the pixel experience on it and they are smooth as ever.
Using S22U right now waiting for S24U now but this Poco F1 is still my secondary device and my favorite phone I've owned so far. Legendary.
Still using this beast as my second phone 🔥🔥 changed battery once.. apart from some tiny software lag, no other issues 🤩 F1 ❤️
I still have this phone.. I really loved this phone..
Now my grandmother uses it.. Poco F1 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I gave that phone to may dad.. and it still rocks!! The iR sensor was awesome. I'm using iQOO but i miss that feature of facial unlock in extreme darkness
I love pocof1 ....it was beast ..but still using this phone...got at 2019 played many heavy games like pubg,fortnite,call of duty , worked very smoothly.. changed battery once still using same charger...no issues so far flawless performance...got lot of memories with this baby...I still use this one....still I wish to buy this model again...Never faced any lag for 5 years.....
MY POCO F1 FACING BATTERY DRAIN AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHOFF ,IS THIS CAUSE YOU TO CHANGE BATTERY? HOW IS YOUR EXPERIENCE BY CHANGING THE BATTERY?? IWANT TO FIX MY PHONE'S PROBLEM😐 PLS HELP ME
I was a proud poco f1 owner and have been using it for 4.5 years no problem at all ...i changed the battery 2 times I was a heavy gamer btw even after 4 year it never slowed down that's impressive.
I have been looking for an upgrade
And I bought iqoo 11 by exchanging my poco and got the iqoo 11 for 43k ...😊
Still using poco f1 bought for 15k in 2020 with pixel experience still does my daily tasks
Watching this with my Poco F1 :) using for the last 4+ Years.
Changed the battery only once.
Running on Custom Rom.
From 2018 i chenge multiple phones and back to f1 cause this phone vas very durable and performance was awesome now cause of custom rom it still a beast
Still have it for 4.5 years. Not going to replace it until i absolutely have to. Its the longest time ive ever had a cellphone
Same here, still works great. Not buying a new not until fund the one
Man..my 1st ever smartphone that also give me my 1st flagship performance experience..since that when buying new phone i always try to aim flagship performance SoC..even when buying older flagships..the experience is really different when using flagships vs budget..which is what my usual device to get before getting Poco F1..
Been using this phone since 2019 and still runs like day one. Not a single lag, glitch or stutter. Have dropped it many times and got wet also. Still holding up like a champ. Proud owner of this legendary beast. #PocoF1 #legendary
Poco F1 completed 5 years. Still working fine. Battery replaced a year ago in Poco Service Center.
But the same issue still persists. Heating issue. Go out in sunlight, start using camera. May be 5-10 mins Max. Camera app will close. Can't open until it cools down. 4K feature is there. But it generates more heat.
Watching this on my poco F1. Bought it on 6 jan 2019. Almost 5 years.
Undoubtedly one of best phones to enter in market. F1 showed what phone companies can make. Played pubg for 3.5 years. In pandemic literally i used to drain the phone for like 6-7 times a day. Camera is still competitive thanks to gcam. Facelock, fingerprint still working flawlessly. Currently using it for day to day normal tasks and its holding up. Yes bugs are there but I think i got used to it. But finally as a respect im going to give him rest.
Quite a emotional goodbye.
Best phone i ever had ,rooted it overclocked it did a pixel software and g cam in it was giving crazy picture , best night shots too but i lost the phone while riding my bike, miss it .
This video felt like a shorts. So quick and straight forward. No sponsors,no ads,no promotions. Really appreciate Beebom team 🔥❤
I dont know why people don't consider Poco F3 as the true successor to Poco F1, but for me it absolutely is. Albeit being priced slightly higher at launch, its price reduced sharply within a few months, it had a flagship processor, good enough camera, a premium design, flagship display, stereo speakers and good haptics. The ommission of headphone jack was definitely a bummer but its pros substantially outweighed the cons.
bought it almost 5.25 years back .. still using it as my primary device .. working fine .. no issue .. i have an ipad , a mac .. will uprage to 15 pro max soon .. but this phone will always be in my memory as it was with me since my 8th class to my first year ..
Wow bro you are rich 🙌🏻
Poco F1 was and is my Primary Gaming Device. Fingerprint, Face id is blazing fast. The one and only issue is No Updates are available for the device.
Redmi K20 Pro, Note 7 pro, poco F1 & Poco X3 & Poco M2 pro were very performance Oriented phones which are still decent these days.
Bought one in 2019 and still have it as my daily running Android 13 Pixel Experience. Overall very smooth for daily use and casual gaming. Still has at least another year left before I retire it or relegate it to secondary phone.
i bought it on release and i swear to god it served well till 2024 when it got outdated so i bought the x6 pro and now it is so cool to use
Nice content...❤ You made a video differently from others...keep rockzz Rupesh🎉
Bought it at 8k in 2020 second hand and still running very smooth
I bought it at 3.5k last week
Between mid 2018 to 2020 there were some insane Value for money phones being launched.
Still using it as a secondary phone with pixel rom. Swapped the battery out recently with a duplicate one, unfortunately Poco is not supporting the phone in service center anymore (no spares).
Try using a Redmi K20 pro now
Everything except the front camera is just awesome
"The Phone" which took out the entire smartphone industry by storm even in 2019 a whole year after it's launch let alone of what it did in 2018.
The catch was the light bleed on the bottom of the lcd. Many people had touch lag on edges too.
And no its not the first phone that created the 'budget flagship' segment. That would be the xiaomi mi 3.
Still have the poco f1 with me. Running Android 14. Smooth as a butter
Switched from the Poco F1 to the S21 FE 888, having initially bought the Poco F1 in its first flash sale.
Still using the poco f1 since the start release date. This is the best till date just changed the battery running smooth and perfectly flawless.
Just upgraded from my Poco F1(running A13 Arrow OS) to Nothing Phone 2, still performs so well with the proper custom rom
Both poco f1 and k20 pro were really amazing phones especially with the custom os
Brought this phone 2019 for 13k after exchanging my old Samsung phone.....4 years have passed....still amazing value for money
Used for 4 years, recently upgraded to nothing phone 1, but still uses it as a secondary phone.
Present owner, using it for 5 years now. Smooth and sweet still.
