updated my F5 Pro to HyperOS, so far still quite smooth, nothing major, mainly just look and feel difference.

For me I'm basic user. Surf net and social media, YouTube, Spotify, take photos and occasionally MS Office. Nothing to complain about, so am satisfied with this phone especially at an affordable price. Maybe only camera features lose out to high end.
If u catered $400 budget, then just buy the 12gb version lor. Regret $40 only, if really cannot put 12gb to good use. Divide by 2 yrs usage means additional $1.67/mth.

Haha I just realised my f5 box says 8gb ram 256gb rom. Then I go into about phone settings, I saw 8 + 3 gb ram 256gb storage. The price I paid for is the 8gb ram. So now I am confused. How to confirm?

Thats the ram extension, using your "storage" as additional ram

Should I deactivate? Is there a way to increase more ram (taking from storage)?

So the China side sell this at 2 different pricings is only using this software method to increase the ram? They charged extra like $30 or $40 for it. Luckily I didn't opt for that more expensive price, but they still give it to me (probably out of convenience).

If I'm not mistaken, the ram extension is a feature of Android 13. Poco F5 has 2 configurations on RAM, ie. 8G or 12G ram, mine is 12G RAM. Both are equipped with ram extension. I don't think they are charging extra for that feature though.

Wait. i don't get what it's about lol Even the website says it's SD 7+ Gen 2
Probably just another fanciful chipset name as it is I guess instead of being named a SD76X, SD7X0G, bla bla bla? :unsure:

I ever used a SD770G powered model before.. 🤭
