Wanz, 27 Sep 2023Is it better to take 8gb or 12gb RAM? Use for playing games... moreMore RAM is ALWAYS good for gaming and multitasking. And you futureproof your phone that way, even for regular applications. So, you kinda answered your own question. Besides, the price difference is very small, for 50% more RAM. In fact, in some stores, the 12GB version is cheaper than the 8GB one.

Anonymous, 24 Sep 2023poco f series has no deadboot issues only in the x and m series
X and M series dont seem to have the issue also as it was only with the X3 and M3 that is 2 years ago. So people got fired for it and they did there best to fix it. Also it's a must to be said that all the issues were only in India market. So probably even the factory that made the India market phones lost some heads or got fined for the damage.
Also there is a saying that we learn from our past mistakes or we need to make mistakes to learn from them.
Just to let people know that Xiaomi is just a bit over decade old brand so to have some issues after 10 years doing the phones is not so bad. Compare to brand like Samsung that had exploding batteries and is old as heck brand with lots of experience doing all types of electronics.
We have seen motherboard issues on all brand so Xiaomi is not different on that part as it's still mass production and there will be always defective examples.
I would say that if motherboard is giving up is a lot better then you have a ticking bomb in your pocket that can do you physical harm is way worse and still people for some reason trust Samsung and dont complain about it.
I dont think that these people who complain about the motherboard issue complain about it cause some models had the issue. They just need to defame cause it's Chinese brand and all the world is scared of China being the next super power that leads the world
