Screen
1. Q: What screen does POCO F1 use?
A: To obtain a wider screen view and make the proportion of the whole machine more coordinated, POCO F1 adopts a special-shaped screen with a ratio of 18.7:9 (resolution 2248*1080), and the screen ratio is as high as 86.68%. Special-shaped screens are the current industry development trend, and most apps on the market are adapting as soon as possible. For applications that can automatically identify the screen size and resolution information of the phone, it will be able to take advantage of the 18.7:9 screen to display more content; for applications that do not support the full screen ratio, MIUI will automatically adjust the screen display range. A small number of software or videos may not be able to be full-screen. The software interface that cannot be full-screen will leave black at both ends of the phone (in landscape, the two ends of the landscape), but it does not affect the look and feel.
Note: If the app frequently has abnormal display or screen ratio imbalance, etc., it is recommended you to select the corresponding application name in Home screen>>Tools>>Services and feedback, module selection More>>Third-party applications>>Select the corresponding application name, Module Selection Screen >> Miscellaneous, and record the detail, and we will contact the App developer as soon as possible for an adaptation update.
