Xiaomi POCO F1 Android 9.0 Pie Update Aftermath
Many of the Xiaomi POCO F1 users who installed the latest update, were quick to take it to Twitter. Xiaomi being a responsible OEM, tend to each complaint directed towards the POCO F1. The company promised every user that they are aware of the issues and are working on a fix for all of them. Of course, like every software-level issue, another software update is rolled out to fix the bugs. One of the issues that went down badly with the users was the battery drain issue. One of the users pointed that he is only getting 5 hours of battery backup after installing the new update. To recall, Xiaomi POCO F1 comes with a 4,000mAh battery, and with such capacity, the phone should not shut down in just 5 hours.
Hey Saumyadeep, we are aware of this. We are working on a solution. Rest assured, we will have it solved in the upcoming updates. Also, please share the feedback in the feedback app.
Another problem started with the disability of the hide-notch option. Due to this issue, many users are not able to play games or watch videos on a full screen. One of the users tweeted the screenshot of PUBG on his phone, which is not the full screen and with lesser screen real estate available, it seems to be a big issue for the mobile gamers who use the POCO F1. Answering one of such tweets, Xiaomi’s POCO F1 team wrote, “We are working on a solution. Rest assured, we will have it solved in the upcoming updates.”
