    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.

              Hi everyone! Does anyone (especially those users of Xiaomi brand) experience dead boot problems? Any tips to avoid this kind of issue?

                Today POCO released HyperOS global (EEA) version 1.0.4.0 to the Poco f5, the size is 5GB.

                    I would say bad timing for Xiaomi to change there OS skin name and then forget to even do security updates for there phones.
                    I dont really care for the updates as that is not so important for me. If i get 2 OS update i be fine with it. F4 is still very much worth the 410 euro is paid for the phone in May 2023 for the 8GB ram version.

                    I didnt buy Poco F5 for the update sake as if that be my prime option then i would of need to sacrifice performance and go with Samsung A54.
                    I know in advance that Xiaomi and especially Poco wont give a lot of updates as it's performance phone for budget so you cant hope to have good cameras and software updates.

                    I would say that i am happy with the phone i got and for next 5 years i dont need a new phone cause it should have no issues with any app or game even 5 years in the future.
                    Just to remind that budget middle class is still there SD778 performance range. So basically market is now something 70% full of phones in Antutu v10 range of 300k to 700k

                    All these MTK G8x G9x D7xx D8xx D9xx are in that range and from Snapdragon there are 480 4 gen 1 gen 2 680 685 695 SD7xx 7s gen 2 7 gen 1 and so on so far what is 7 series.

                    F5 with the 7+ gen 2 is in the range of 1.1M Antutu v10 range and 900k in v9 version.
                    It be enough to do everything you need for next 5 years. Security updates it's nice to have but it's not like you are security risk person to need these. You still have methods with apps how to protect your self and have your phone more secure then the OS Security update.

                    i never made fingerprint scanner so my finger tips dont have data in my phone that is a security risk cause there can be hackers and leakers. If i pack all of the things trough my phone like have all my banking and so on done in there then that phone needs security. But i do these things in home desktop computer. I am in control of my own security and cant rely on technology. There is no thing like impossible with software as it only depends on time. My country even have ID Sim cards that i dont have cause i dont want to have risks that i have made an object too valuable for me that can be a key for disaster
