Pocophone F1 getting 4K/60fps recording next month, but expect another update soon
June 16, 2025
TheXiaomi POCOphone F1has received a steady stream of updates since its release late last year, and this commitment is extending into the new year as well.
Pocophone India general manager Manmohan Chandolu tweeted that 4K/60fps video recording will be available in a stable update next month. So you no longer need to choose between 4K/30fps or 1080p/60fps, giving you the best of both worlds.
The update means the POCOphone F1 might be the cheapest device capable of recording at 4K/60fps, undercuttingLGandSamsung‘s 2018 flagships. There’s more to great camera quality than resolution and frame-rate though, and the device unfortunately lacks all-importantoptical image stabilization. Nevertheless, we’re glad to see an entirely new recording option come to a phone via a firmware update.
The executive also confirmed that 960fps super slow motion recording andnight modeare coming via a stable update in the next two weeks. The update will also fix battery and touch issues.
The super slow mo feature is expected to be a software-based solution, using interpolation in order to hit the 960fps mark. This technique isn’t as smooth as proper 960fps recording, so don’t expect polished results likeSonyandSamsung‘s devices.
Nevertheless, the addition of night mode should result in bright shots with less noise than a traditional low-light image. Hopefully we see this mode come toXiaomi‘s cheaper phones as well, giving budget devices a much-needed boost.
It’s not the first update to feature 960fps recording and night mode, as the sub-brand pushed out a beta updatelast month. But this update should make its way to all POCOphone F1 users rather than just the beta testers.
