POCO F1, the OG POCO phone, that launched back in 2018 has been immensely popular due to the insane price-to-performance ratio it offered. It has been almost three years, but the hardware is still capable of delivering decent performance even by today’s standards. That’s the reason, a lot of people are still using their POCO F1. As per a new report by PinikaWeb, POCO F1 users are facing a weird bug. The users took it to POCO Community to report that while switching to the front camera, the viewfinder actually shows a preview through the secondary rear lens.

To recall, POCO F1 packs a dual rear camera setup including a 12MP Sony IMX363 primary shooter with f/1.9 aperture. The smartphone has a secondary 5MP depth sensor to help with the portrait shots. Users also performed a CIT test for the front camera, and found the same issue as the camera app. This confirms that the issue is probably a software-related issue, rather than a camera app bug or a hardware malfunction.
