        Good phoen, two big issues:
        phone region of purchase: india non nfc 12 gb ram variant blue colour
        issue 1: speaker phone mic is TRASH and the other person can barely hear me while using speaaker phone unless u put the phone inside yo mouth!

        issue 2: The back tap feature barely works!!! and is just a gimmic because it is very buggy!

        issue 3: Questionable realibility cause ppl's other poco phoners died!

                  Red Wings, 26 Dec 2023But why do you say that? Why is it a bad feature? It wears out your internal storage disk and causes bigger battery drain. It's just a gimmick feature, no substantial gain.

                      Red Wings, 23 Dec 2023Do you guys have activated the option to virtually expand t... moreThere really is no point to use virtual ram that is storage based. Especially when you already have overkill amount of ram as 12GB
                      Even the 8GB ram version i have can have 3GB virtual ram but i dont see a point of it when 8GB be more then enough for next 5 plus years.

                      I would think the market is around 75% full of phones that perform around Antutu v10 100.000 to 700.0000 and all these phones be like 2GB ram to 8GB ram. Well to be honest even budget phones now start to more and more get 12GB ram while it's useless and is just a number game in marketing. For example i can give with cameras. Google Pixel 6a have dual 12mp cameras and these do better quality pictures then for example Poco X5 Pro with 108mp camera. It's all just marketing big numbers game to manipulate people to buy with more larger numbers as basic brain washing

                      I would turn virtual ram on only when the phone would have like 2 hard drives. Like for example have 32GB hard drive for only Android install and then have second hard drive that is 256GB where are all the apps and everything installed. Then can use this second hard drive for virtual ram and it wont affect the OS hard drive.

                      Virtual ram basically creates traffic in storage that takes more battery life from phone also cause there are more activity with the virtual ram in storage.

                      You can basically turn the virtual ram on when you have used the phone for 4-5 years and then you take basically all you can get out of the phone life end. Even tough you wont see any difference as your base 12GB is already more then you ever need cause of the state software and hardware is.

                        EU Global version 14.0.8.0 TMRMIXM update just come for me with November security update patch. Kind of late when December is about to be over and new year is like week away.
                        Well i actually checked so maybe it's been there for few days.
                        So just a late update to add on the list that quota is done for the year so next update be in January with the OS to 14 and name change from miui to hyperos.

                                    Do you guys have activated the option to virtually expand the RAM capacity using the free disk space?
                                    I suppose it would be always useful, right? It can increase RAM memory from 12GB up to 19GB, I think.
                                    It's a no brainer, right?
                                    Or do you find any inconvenient and chose not to use this option?
                                    Why isn't this activated by default on all phones, if this only has advantages...

                                      Huge dilemma, Poco F5 for 427€ or Motorola Edge 40 for 300€? Poco seems a safer choice but Edge 40 has its perks also.

Animation is a lot smoother and everything is running well. The OS is a lot lighter and I've noticed that I have more free RAM now. I have the 12GB version and with MIUI 14 I used to have approximately 7.5Gb free but that has increased to around 8.5Gb. Battery life has depreciated a little but that is to be expected now that it has Android 14 and a new OS but that will improve once they have both optimised fully in the next few days.
