Il POCOPHONE F1 from Xiaomi was presented as the most commendable top of the range on the market, equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU and an innovative liquid cooling system, able to give top-level performance. The strength of the smartphone is also the opening to modding, so much so that the kernel source code was released in a short time as well as the waiting time for unlocking the Bootloader was brought to just 3 days unlike the 2 months required on the Xiaomi device.
But to break the eggs in the basket thinks a series of users, who these days are complaining about a serious problem of Screen Bleed, commonly called a bleeding screen. In practice, a sort of discoloration is generated on the edges of the display, which does not affect operation, but undoubtedly identifies a hardware problem. Of course, before making the alarm, it should be noted that there are few offending units, and that the news makes noise not for the number of units involved but due to the fact that POCOPHONE F1 is a new brand and that with its price policy has stepped on many feet.
A POCPHONE F1 owner, on the XDA forums posted a post in which he claims to have contacted FlipKart support asking for his unit to be replaced. However, the request for replacement was rejected although the technician confirmed the existence of the problem. Somehow the user got the refund but for everyone else?
Some users of POCOPHONE F1 signal problems with the display. Find out if your unit is affected
The problem of the Screen Bleed can not be solved by a software update because it involves the hardware and becomes quite evident with the passage of time. But if you are afraid that your unit will begin to show the first signs of the problem, there is an easy way to identify the problem. First of all adopt a dark theme, so that the areas affected by the defective LCD portion are clearer.
I know several Poco users seem to be facing display bleed issues as @neyyanraju pointed out to me.
Even my review unit has the issue at the bottom. Anybody else facing this? @r3dash @gauravh1 @amitbhawani @abhishek @geekyranjit @chetanbhawani @gogiinc

Another way to check if yours POCOPHONE F1 is affected by the problem with the screen, it is to perform a simple test by proceeding in this way: go to Settings> About phone and then tap four times on Kernel version. A CIT test menu will open where you will have to select menu number 7. Display. The test will show the colors red, blue and green highlighting the problem, if any, as the colors will turn pale towards the sides.
The problem in itself does not imply complications of using the smartphone, but it is purely on an aesthetic level Personally I have never encountered these problems on any terminal and you? Have you tried running the test? Let us know by posting your comments below.
Here you go…! this is visible when you open chrome to have a white background and then open the notification drawer. You will see the bleed!@IndiaPOCO @POCOSupport @PocophoneGlobal pic.twitter.com/isyW9pkb6X
