Hi guys Chris here back with the Poco
phone f1 so there's been a lot of
comments on this phone here now I've
been using for three days I wanted to go
over a couple of things but first up is
this screen bleed issue that some people
seem to be making it into a massive
issue yes there is this sreen bleed I
pointed it out in my videos I feel for
the price that okay yeah it's there it
shouldn't be there if it wasn't there
that would be much better and the same
goes for the notch as I pointed out you
know it is a very tall notch I feel that
if show-me could have gone for perhaps
an 18 by 9 aspect ratio IPS panel and
maybe a higher-quality one that that
would have been the way to go but would
that screen bleed you really do notice
it you can see that it is actually
lighter just around the bottom here now
some people may have this to a different
degree it may actually be worse on their
you unit units but I feel for the price
of the phone that yeah it really depends
on how picky you are you can see at the
top it's not so bad you're not getting
it as bad there it's just really the
bottom that it stands out but for some
people this may be a deal breaker I know
someone commented and said it doesn't
have a multi-colored status LED
deal-breaker won't buy the phone even
though it's a Snapdragon 805 at only
about 350 us one other thing that I did
mention at the end and the cons that I'm
still noticing some of that fullscreen
gesture lag it's there on my Emacs 3
they've pretty much almost killed it off
on the other route me note 5 and what
happens is that when you first log in
and then you go to the apps drawer so
you'll swipe up you would see a bit of
stutter a bit of animation stutter and
lag just now and then or when you go
through into something like recent apps
it's there now I can't capture it on
camera at the moment I have pink trying
but it's just now and then out of every
imagine eight times or ten times you
unlocked a phone you may see it two or
three times just a little bit of stutter
that considering the spec of this phone
that should not even be there I just
think it's software optimization there
also then brings me to the face
unlocking that mustard time you can see
it's really fast and it works well I
have noticed though it really does
struggle a little bit in direct sunlight
so when you're outside and unlock the
phone a couple of times
have gone to look at it and you just see
that it does that it just they can't
recognize you you keep looking at it now
why it's not working at the moment I've
got a tripod in the way I got the camera
and I have my microphone and all that
that's why that's happening so face
unlocking it really depends I have got
it to record and capture my face again
and I found that that has improved
things but it's not ten out of ten times
now that fingerprint reader on the rear
there's like any Xiaomi phone basically
that it's always on and it always works
it's ten out of ten times that is really
fast and most the time when it doesn't
work I just use that when I'm out in the
daylight for example direct sunlight is
when it has an issue with the face
unlocking and then because now I've been
using the phone three days this is my
third battery cycle and the battery life
is okay it's a little bit off from my
estimate in my unboxing and basically
the the review of the phone I said
twelve hours so in my heavy test I'm
going to get 11 hours in 9 minutes you
can see there and that's actually really
good considering what I was doing a lot
of YouTube 1080p streaming and I'd also
did a lot of gaming very heavy you skip
the screen on most of the time you'll
see here so YouTube that was running for
most two hours and some of these steps
by the way they're not actually correct
revolution I was playing that for about
two hours but underneath is about an
hour and a half they're pub jeev also
for an hour realistically it was more
than an hour and here we have a shadow
fight 3 as well that I was playing so
you can see that is demanding use and
one of my other little minor gripes here
nitpicking we're not really actually is
that not so you can see how it gets in
the way completely in fact I can't touch
anything there that's blocking that off
so if you hold the phone this way with
the knotch
on the left when you're in landscape
mode because you're gonna have to flip
it around and then I can access what was
there before that the notch was blocking
so I can't even go to the cart now can
barely click it
I'll only just touch that there because
of the excessively tall knotch
and then those rounded corners as well
ant the greatest so the worst feature of
this phone and yes it's been a little
bit picky I know for the price of this
phone is the screen it's not the
greatest those rounded corners the
not slight bleeds not the brightest
green either that is really the only
real issue with this phone so if you
don't demand the absolute best super
premium screen quality and if around
about 480 Lux is fine for you and the
things that I pointed out then this is a
definite phone to go to it's a
no-brainer to buy this for the spec and
selling for around what is it now about
350 and remember as time goes by the
price on this will eventually start to
drop and even next year next year when
the Snapdragon 855 or what it in a
call it comes out then this will be even
cheaper it'll probably be selling them
for about 280 u.s. in about a year's
time when everyone is looking to the
latest generation of chipsets so overall
I do like this phone I think it's great
if I do encounter any problems or
anything else then I will post another
video on it and thank you everyone that
has checked out the first video make
sure you do check that out and I hope to
catch you back in the channel with more
up-and-coming videos on mobile phones
laptops mini PCs you name it
