In case the issue persists, the company advises users to report it via the Services, and Feedback app. Post which, affected users can visit the service center to get their devices repaired.
POCO India is repairing affected devices for free as an exception!
The company will repair affected devices for free after verifying if the issue is genuine. POCO, in the letter, also says that a small set of consumers deliberately tried bricking the camera, and approached service centers to provide a replacement for the phones. The company, via the letter, also says that it could take some action against such consumers.
In response to a user on Twitter, POCO India Sales Lead, Himanshu said that the company has decided to repair the affected devices for free as an exception. Though, the company will verify if the issue is genuine. Users can simply visit the nearest service center to get a resolution for the affected devices.
This is untrue. If the issue is genuine, we are approving repair as an exception free of charge. Let me know in case you paid anything for it.
And if you don't want solution to the issue and continue to just put random messages, you can continue. Your choice.
