===Bad soldering causing phone to not function (''2022 and onward'')===

Bad quality soldering caused chips to partially detach from the main board, rendering the phone completely defunct, or in mild cases only causing it to lose some functionality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Complaints on POCO's official forum |url=https://c.po.co/global/topicdetail/10049}}</ref> The issue requires board level repair to fix. In the best cases, this can restore the phone to working order for about two years, but in the worst cases, the phone only survives for about a day before not turning on again. The outcome of the repair cannot always be determined in advance, so the phone isn't reliable anymore even after the repair.<ref>{{Cite web |title=iFixit thread on the issue |url=https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/736918/Phone+is+dead,+it+doesn't+starts}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Forum thread discussing the viability of reballing |url=https://xdaforums.com/t/experience-after-reballing.4569279}}</ref>
