It is not about the RAM but about your usage. If you open a lot of apps and want them to switch fast then 3gb is not enough. If you don't mind waiting a bit when you re-open apps then this is fine. I think, the SoC of this phone can last at least 2 years. My Redmi Note 3 running SD650 is still working fine for my son. No problems playing most games and it's 2 years already.

Also, this is a mid range phone at low range price. If you have the budget get Mi A2 with 6gb RAM. That would last you at least 3 years.

End of the day, what you pay is what you get. At RM599, don't expect flagship quality and performance.

Yes, mine becomes dark as well. I guess need to use the flash then.

Take note, the review of the 6gb India version seems to say the fingerprint is also improved. For those with 4gb and 6gb version, please do tell if the fingerprint sensor is better.

I always turn off auto brightness as most of them does not work properly. My brightness is like 5%-10% most of the times and it is bright enough for me except when in direct sunlight.

Err...the phone don't have NFC?

I don't think they can improve the fingerprint sensor anymore because it is hardware related. They used lousy fingerprint sensor which causes reading of fingerprint hard. Look at their other phone, Zenfone 5 and 5Z. Those have good fingerprint sensor and it works great. That means there is no problem with the fingerprint software that they use.

Also, from my experience. Once the firmware is update, the fingerprint works better for a while only. After some time, it goes back to being horrible. Right not, out of 10 times, it can only ready my finger print 5 times. That is appaling. Then again, not bad enough until I want to sell the phone. Still a good phone for playing games. Bottom line, this phone can never be my main daily driver. It is only good as a secondary phone.

Bro, thanks for trying to help but most of us use other phones as well. We would know what is good fingerprint sensor and what is bad fingerprint sensor. For this M1, it is bad.

Haha..I thought I am the only one who don't like face unlock. I think it is stupid. Cause lock screen messages doesn't work anymore. Whenever I look at the phone, it will unlock the phone and I have to do extra step to view the messages.

pocophone is a market disrupter. It will sell well in India and we will get lots of mods for it. Luckily Asus launched the Zenfone a bit earlier else their sales will be affected badly. Right now, the 6gb version will not sell because of pocophone. Xiaomi killed a few of their own models with Poco. I might "upgrade" to poco by end of the year if the price go down to around 1k.

Don't say never. Cause anything can happen. There might be another player who will slash the price further. Before poco f1 and honor play, will you ever imagine a flagship SoC go down to 1.3k? That time you are saying SD845 will never go down below 1.8k, right?
