Hi,

I'm putting up my Poco F1 Armored Edition for sale. I'd bought this in a pristine shape from The Bark here on TE in 2020.

This is my daily driver. I'm running Pixel Experience on this one. This has the Kevlar lined back, has 8GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage + hybrid microSD slot. I also like the LCD screen (I use 99% Red & Green and 97% blue in color calibration and it's pretty usable color wise) , rugged build, 3.5mm jack and a hybrid microSD card slot. It's been running well and smoothly till now. No defects. I've used this in a ringke fusion x case and have applied a tempered glass protector from from day one- there are no dings, dents or scratches that I can see. This phone can be a good daily driver.

Looking to find someone who likes this phone and can keep it running for some more time.

Included:

• the original box which includes the original charger and the silicon case
• the phone
• if someone wants it, I can include the ringke case but that's pretty used up.

Local buyers preferred, but I can ship at the buyer's risk and expense.

Glad to see this still lives on!

 

[lepermessiah]

All thanks to you. This is a nice phone.

This is still available for sale. Price reduced to 9K including shipping.

Uploading recent pics. The Ringke case has been discarded and a new one from Solimo would be provided along with the stock one in the box. A new tempered glass has also been applied.

Unfortunately, I've cracked the SIM tray while switching to a new phone. Attaching a picture to highlight the same. Reducing the price to 5.5K considering this disadvantage.

Kindly check PM!

is the slim slot working fine?
Very good price for 256gb.

my daily driver and current phone is poco f1.
Using 64gb version, apart from the storage crunch, i have no reason to upgrade to another mobile.
no 5G but speed is good in 4G itself.
Remaining everything is perfect. Custom roms are abundant for this device.

What about battery life? Also do you know any outlet which sells batteries for f1? Mine only lasts for around 3-4 hrs..

Sold to @CyberGhost who has paid the token amount. The phone would be shipped soon. Thanking all the members who had expressed interest. Apologies if I haven't replied to all messages.

Bought battery from a telegram seller, my screen on time is 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours.
Battery backup is good in certain custom roms.

 

[lepermessiah]

@CyberGhost had remitted the amount in full and has been kind enough to arrange a pickup. The product has been shipped. Hope it reaches him soon.

This seems to be the only way to get a good replacement battery. I think the ones at the service centers might have run out of stock.

i remember that i was looking for this phone few years back when it was already tough to find and then i landed on bark's thread only to realise that the OP had bought it off of him. had messaged both at the time. nonetheless, sometime later got it locally from a person at some higher price. still using it, on stock OS, as a secondary work-phone. as snappy as always, and really like its camera. will be keeping and using it for the foreseeable future too.
congrats @lepermessiah & @CyberGhost on the sale & purchase, though sad to note the sim-tray crack.

I have the same armour edition phone. Works flawless with pixel os. Must say original flagship killer. With gcamera it's another thing. And only phone which has ir camera (not ir blaster). Nice pricing tho. Just my two cents

 

[lepermessiah]

The F1 was a nice experience. No other phone could quite give the clean Pixel experience combined with a 3.5 mm jack and a micro SD slot with a relatively quick SD845. The only drawbacks now were the 60Hz screen and the marginal battery life hit.

Are Xiaomi phones nowadays aren't made well or is it just me? They don't seem to last quite as long as the older ones

I upgraded to f4. One year from now best built quality. Doing its job no issue so far. Don't go for x or m series it's mediocre built. F5 not that good with snapdragon 7. If planning wait for F6 comes with 24gb ram and 1tb And newer SD gen 3plus. That ll be gamechanger if priced accordingly .

I've been using the Poco F3 (Mi 11x) for the last 2 years, bought it because it had official LineageOS that I installed on day one. Still flawless. I miss the headphone jack and the camera is average, but it's a very good daily phone. It's apparently a plastic frame but I haven't had any durability/performance issues so far.
