Xiaomi Poco F1 Repair Vienna
The Pocophone F1 - known internationally as the Poco F1 - shook the smartphone market in 2018: flagship performance at half the price, with a plastic back instead of glass and an IPS-LCD screen with a notch. Six years later the device still runs daily for many owners, but the battery barely makes it through the afternoon, the screen has cracks or the touch input has turned flaky. Reparo repairs your Poco F1 with pickup service in Vienna or mail-in from anywhere in Austria.

Pocophone F1 Repair Vienna - keeping the price-performance icon of 2018 alive
When the Pocophone F1 launched in August 2018, the reaction was unanimous: how can a smartphone with flagship performance cost this little? The answer lay in deliberate trade-offs - a plastic back instead of glass, an IPS-LCD instead of AMOLED and a wider notch at the top of the screen. But exactly those decisions turned the device into a secret tip: lighter, with a back that takes a knock better and a screen that reads more clearly in direct sunlight than many AMOLED panels of its era.
Today it has been more than six years since launch - and the battery clearly shows what age and hundreds of charge cycles do. The device barely lasts a full day, sometimes shuts down unexpectedly or displays a battery level that does not match the actual runtime. A battery swap for EUR 79 fully restores the original endurance without losing photos, apps or settings.
IPS-LCD with notch - what matters in a screen swap
The 6.18-inch IPS-LCD of the Poco F1 delivers natural colours and high brightness - a real advantage outdoors over older OLED panels. The notch is wider than on later models because it houses the front camera, the speaker and the infrared face unlock. After a fall cracks can appear in the glass, which quickly affect the touch area: zones at the edge stop responding and unlocking becomes a test of patience. Reparo replaces the full Poco F1 screen module and restores the original touch responsiveness.
Plastic back: yellowed but repairable
Xiaomi's decision to put a plastic back on the Pocophone F1 was pragmatic - it makes the device lighter, more drop-resistant and easier to open. But after years a familiar issue surfaces: the back yellows under UV light, gets brittle and loses its original surface quality. Cracks often form at the corners or along the edges. Reparo replaces the back for EUR 79 and restores reliable protection for the internal parts and the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Is repairing the Poco F1 still worth it?
The Pocophone F1 runs stably on MIUI and handles everyday tasks like messaging, streaming and photography without trouble. A battery swap for EUR 79 or a screen repair from EUR 139 costs much less than an equivalent new phone. If you use the device as a reliable daily phone, as a secondary phone or for travelling, repair at Reparo comes out cheaper - and you keep all your stored data and familiar settings.
Frequently asked questions about Xiaomi Poco F1 repair
How much does a Xiaomi Poco F1 screen repair cost?
The IPS-LCD screen of the Poco F1 costs at Reparo from EUR 139 including fitting and 6 months warranty. The price covers the full screen module including the touch layer and the notch area. The EUR 25 diagnostic is fully waived if you book the repair.
How much does a Xiaomi Poco F1 battery replacement cost?
The battery swap on the Poco F1 costs EUR 79 at Reparo including fitting and 6 months warranty. After more than six years of use, natural wear has cut battery capacity noticeably - a swap restores the original runtime. All data stays intact.
What does the back cover cost on the Poco F1?
The back cover of the Poco F1 costs EUR 79 at Reparo. The Pocophone F1 has a plastic back that can yellow, get brittle or crack over time. A damaged back no longer adequately protects the internal parts and the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
What does the charging port cost on the Poco F1?
The charging port of the Poco F1 costs EUR 79 at Reparo. If the USB-C cable wobbles, the charge cuts out on its own or the device only charges in certain positions, the port is worn and a swap makes sense.
What made the Pocophone F1 so special?
The Pocophone F1 - known internationally as the Xiaomi Poco F1 - was the first device in 2018 to offer flagship performance at a price previously reserved for mid-range phones. The deliberate choice of a plastic back over glass, an IPS-LCD over OLED and a generous battery turned it into the price-performance highlight of the year. It launched the standalone Poco brand that still exists today.
Is a battery swap on the old Pocophone F1 still worth it?
Yes, a battery swap is worth it as long as there is no board or water damage. The Poco F1 still handles everyday apps, messaging and photography reliably. A fresh battery for EUR 79 extends usable lifespan substantially and costs only a fraction of a new device. All stored data and settings stay intact.
Can I just drop off my Poco F1?
No, Reparo does not run a retail location and does not accept walk-in customers. Repairs run exclusively via the pickup service in Vienna or via mail-in from anywhere in Austria. Please book an appointment online or by phone.
How does Austria-wide mail-in work?
You ship the Poco F1 securely packed to Reparo - the shipping address arrives after the booking. After the repair the device is returned to you with insurance. This works reliably from every Austrian province.
How does the Vienna pickup service work?
Reparo comes directly to you in Vienna - at home, at work or at any other agreed location. You book a slot online or by phone. The Poco F1 is collected, repaired and brought back to you.
What warranty applies after the repair?
Reparo gives 6 months warranty on every repair and every installed part. Repair-related faults that appear within this time are fixed at no cost - regardless of whether original or high-quality aftermarket parts were used.
Does Reparo use original or aftermarket parts for the Poco F1?
Reparo uses high-quality parts on the Poco F1 that match original quality. With the IPS-LCD this is especially important for colour accuracy and outdoor brightness. After the diagnostic Reparo explains transparently which parts are available and what differences exist - you decide before the repair begins.
Will I lose my data during the Poco F1 screen swap?
No, a screen or battery swap leaves all data on the Poco F1 fully intact. Photos, contacts, apps and MIUI settings remain unchanged after the repair. Reparo still recommends a backup before shipping the device - as a safety net.
Repair or buy new on the Poco F1?
Provided there is no board damage, repair is the economically smarter choice. A battery swap for EUR 79 or a screen repair from EUR 139 costs much less than an equivalent new device. You keep your stored data and familiar settings and also save resources compared to a new purchase.
What does "Diagnostic EUR 25 - waived on repair" mean?
Reparo first checks the Poco F1 in full - screen, battery, charging port, camera, fingerprint sensor and every other component. This diagnostic costs EUR 25. If you decide to repair after that, the diagnostic price is fully deducted from the repair price. So you never pay twice.
What should I do if my Xiaomi Poco F1 has water damage?
The Poco F1 has no official water resistance certification - moisture can quickly cause short circuits. Switch the device off immediately and do not charge it. Reparo opens the device, cleans the boards professionally and diagnoses every affected component. The sooner the Poco F1 is sent in, the better the chance of full recovery. Initial diagnostic: EUR 25.
