Next week, the Poco X6 Pro will be launched and it’s a much better option than the Poco F5 (except for the camera, which is identical). So, if you were thinking of getting the F5, just wait a bit. Having clean HyperOS directly from the factory is also a big advantage.

For people waiting it seems hyperOS is just available as of right now to EU rom. Other region is still on waiting to roll out. And it's seems eu become the guinea pig for now.

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.
