YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Buy something and let us know [emoji38] Does look a bit dodgy - they seem to have quite a few very cheap phonesYep, the site looks well fake. Doesn't give the manufacturer or model of any of the phones listed plus in the phone description's, some of the writing gets cut off before the end of the lines.🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Put me down as another advocate for the Pocophone F1. I've had it for two weeks now. So much more space, I've kicked the arse out of the battery and still had plenty of juice to spare. For £325 (I got the 128gb storage version), it's great value for money.Where about did you buy yours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got one of these yesterday. Very impressed so far, got the 64gb version for only £235 which seems an amazing price. Been using it for 9 hours today, including an update and adding lots of apps and it is still on 72% battery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I'm not in the market for a new phone but if I was I think I'd take a punt on one of these. Some nice spec for the price. Umidigi F1 Edited March 14, 2019 by YER SISTERS YER MAW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saigon Raider Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 With the Pocophone F1 - has anybody had any issues with the GPS? Went for a run today and it was a nightmare with the Runkeeper app. So annoying as it was fine a couple of days earlier - I have it on high accuracy but it seemed to go off when my screen was blank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had mine about two months now and really like it. The operating system takes a bit of getting used to but I genuinely can't tell the difference in performance between this and the S7 Edge I had before. My wife has the iPhone 8 and I prefer the Pocophone - considering I got it for under £250 it's a total bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 There appears to be a problem with Xiaomi phones after the Miui 10 update. My notifications don't come through for several apps despite all the relevant permissions being selected. All I get is texts and WhatsApps displayed on the lock screen.The other issue with the Pocophone is the size of the notch which meant not all of the notification icons at the top can be displayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'd be a bit wary of getting a Chinese phone now with Trumpy's goings on. Google have said they'll have to stop allowing their apps on Huawei phones, could spread to other brands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
