Also MUST install Gcam on every opening!??

Pixel density and brightness is way better on Nokia. It's display in general is better. Poco does have sd845 but that doesn't make any difference in daily usage, or even in gaming. Cameras are same, wifi strength same, and basically everything other is same. But huge difference is in looks. Nokia 8 (especially polished one) looks so premium compared to the plastic poco.

Nokia 8:
Performance:
PUBG on Ultra HD, Ultra Frame Rate, Realistic Mode - literally no lag at all, not even for a moment. So you can rest assure about its performance. Many flagship phones fail to do that.
Battery:
- With 50% Brightness, PUBG lasts around 5 hours with the settings above. And 7-8 hours in other heavy online games like Identity V.
- On normal usage consisting of: (Indoor+Outdoor)
4 hours of YouTube
2 hours of PUBG
2 hours of Facebook
Messaging and calls on various apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, LINE, Instagram, Network calls)
It lasts about 1.5 days.
Built Quality:
I don't have any complaints about it nor do I see anyone else complaining, so its built quality is above satisfactory. In fact, this phone is among those with least bad reviews on Gsmarena.
- No heating issues even while PUBG in sunlight.
- No screen issues like screen bleeding.
- No GPS issues.
- Smaller screen size means it needs less power to process Graphics, which means better performance and battery.
It can last at least 3+ years, imo.
OS:
It has stock Android which rules because:
- No Ads
- No Bloatware
- Better Performance as there is no load on its Chipset from unnecessary Ads, Bloatwares and other background and foreground processes.
- Better battery for reasons stated above.
- You can customise it so you only see what you want.
- Nokia is known for providing OS updates for a lot of its phones.
Personally, I love Stock Android. It makes a huge difference in performance, so much that Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is one of the only phones with Snapdragon 636 that is able to run PUBG smoothly at High Graphics.
Most Xiaomi have MIUI, which means ads and unnecessary power, battery and data consumption. The optimisation they *claim* to offer doesn't makes it performance better than stock android so I don't see the point in it other than playing with customers mind. Their customer support is often criticised and device quality is as you can see in their reviews. That being said, Pocophone does have a bigger screen and better normal usage battery if that appeals to you.

Alamin bd, 25 Jan 2019Some application isn't working, but why?Pie changed a lot in it's way of doing things, some apps do not close priperly, sone do not display notifications properly and so on. The Developers are responsible to do some updates, some do earlier, some do not. This is pretty much the downside of having the newest system, plus the buggs that need to be crushed after the initial updates..

Scolpa from Ghana, 27 Jan 2019What do you mean by clean installation? Help me because my ... moreThat's really strange. My battery life has dropped marginally in Pie but yours is a serious drop!
Clean installation is like updating a brand new phone. Can be achieved via a few methods. Most simple method is to do a factory reset before updating and doing another reset after updating.
If you have app data backed up to your google account, back up your local files (like photos, and music) to a computer/cloud (cloud might consume a lot of bandwidth) and do a system reset. Then after the resetting process is completed, there's an option (will be available in a pop up menu) to automatically set the phone as it was earlier. It takes some time depending on your broadband speed.
But, i recommend that you wait until Pie part 2 update becomes available and doing a clean installation there.
