Good choice
I'm sorry for offtopic.
But I have now purchased Motorola Moto G6 and strongly regretted that I did not buy Nokia 6.2.

Been using the Nokia 6.2 for a week now. Really enjoying the stock android experience, development seems kinda slow and not a lot of people using this phone right now. Maybe it gets better in the future.

Poor RAM management
I find that apps need to reload very often. I am using the 3G 32GB USA version of the phone. Coming from a Moto X4 with similar specs, I don't find this phone very good at managing apps in memory.

I think the Nokia is a tad aggressive - it even manages to close my Calimoto app while I'm navigating (with the screen off, using only bluetooth audio). I haven't found out how to get rid of this behaviour (it doesn't happen with, for instance, google maps)
Entire user experience is very jerky compared to my Pixel XL and Nexus 5X
Makes me what Nokia is doing with their firmware considering the hardware in the 6.1 should be more than capable of handling stock android

$100 phones are smoother than this POS
Which model? I have the 4/64 and everything has been smooth.
I have 3/32 and camera performance Suck with third party software
Using a 3GB/32GB model and Ram management on this device is very agressive apps load very often it barely keeps 1/2 apps in memory and app opening times are also long. Average memory usage on my device is only 62% ? I wish they handled the Ram better and it would have been a great experience with this beautiful device. Stock experience shouldn't be this sluggish. Otherwise the device is good just need software improvements.
Is there any solution for this poor memory management?
Well the issue about the ram management was quite annoying but as far i can see it has been fixed with the January Security Patch update.. I am using 3gb Ram variant and can switch between my apps which i am currently using at a time without any issues.. You can't expect greatness but your day to day tasks can now be done with relative ease..
I'm having this issue still. If I'm in something like Pokemon Go, and I switch to Messaging to reply to someone, and switch back, it has to reload the whole game. My Huawei Honor 7X handles this no problem, and it's got very similar specs.

Tbh its not the hardware that's the issue here. Its the software. Switch to omni and that issue will go away

i love it.. wiper her down everyday. shes not my sidekcik. she's my side. . only 4 people have touched her and i almsot had to eliminate onedropping her 4cm .
ps- nothing happened to her
Looking for a place to express my anger for this phone. The phone is completely buggy presently. The usb c connector doesn't properly work. The theme store never appeared in my version, despite my efforts to force updates that never appeared themselves. I wanted to wait for a few month tio get the s10 5g but its getting more painful each day. I never thought an android phone would bring me back to my struggling iphone times like 4 to 5 years ago when I was trying to use iphones like android phones. 1 000 euros for a total loss. Pretty busy right now, could have written for hours. Not sure this topic is really viewed.

Definately a strong community for the phone. Hopefully it will stay like that quite a while, the F1 has potential for a few more years
My flashing addiction began with the first generation of Nexus 5's, then on to the first three OnePlus phones, a few RedMi phones and now the Poco. This is probably my favorite device so far. Not only is the device beefy enough for me, but the community is pretty active and supportive. There are plenty of solid ROMs available and some are updated frequently. That makes a difference. Community counts.
It's so difficult to buy a phone that has little or no custom ROM support.
Previous to this phone, I had a Moto G7 Plus and a Honor 9, both of which have next to no support via XDA. I moved to the Poco F1 as I fancied getting back in to flashing custom roms like I used to in the days of my Nexus 5, however, having used the device, I have thus far felt no need whatsoever to unlock the device and flash anything on it as I find that the stock MIUI rom works perfectly well for my needs - I grew accustomed to the extra goodies on both EMUI and the Moto and quite like the little extras with MIUI.
I started rooting phones since Android 1.6 (I had an Akash Tab knockoff, which Indians should remember). Every device after that was Android and it was unbearable to live without rooting until Kitkat phones came. That was when the benefits of rooting started to decrease (and ironically, the dependence on google play services started to increase). Google play services is the ultimate phone killer. I run my phone without gapps and my phones just fly.
Just saying, I still have a Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830i which rooted and all apps removed running on GingerBread has the same screen response time as my Poco F1 which stock MIUI. That was the power of rooting. These days with faster processors, the difference is not that apparent. Now-a-days, I simply root because it's my habit and I cannot stand living with google on my phone. And better battery life.
Once you get used to totally disabling the notch (because notches are starting to be a thing of the past), this phone will live on for years.
However, the device still has some problems.
On miui, you will answer a call on speaker when connected to bt audio.
On custom rom, random bluetooth connection drop and slow/no connection when devices search each other.
Wifi n speeds plummet when...using bt audio.
I come from an LG G6. The bt audio implementation was better than anything else.
Community development strength!
I bought the Poco just a month ago, and it's one year old now but it's still an awesome phone it has been my favorite phone hands down and my flashing and unlocking addiction started with the Moto X 2013 and I've had many since, but I love my Poco and I love the people in our development community everybody is so helpful and cool! I love that there is so many ROMs and kernels, and the really huge draw for me to the Poco was that we even have MultiRom! I even actually love MIUI as much as some custom ROMs ..it is just a great phone all around and I really hope and pray we get a new second version soon, because I will be buying it for sure. Thanks for being such an awesome development community guys!
i love to be here with POCO F1
cool::

The community strengh is strong. a lot of roms are being released almost every day. I hope it keeps like this and it prolongs time our device is supported. I hope lineageos will be developed for poco during many years more. pocopone deserves it

Price/Performens is the best i seen!
Best Mobile in this price group
Something's strange about this phone... I got it together with Xperia XZ2 from my operator and I have to say that I love both of them.
Motorola has some older CPU, mid class display but it gives this strange joy of use, even when used in parallel with much higher class device. Great experience.
So... overall love ? Yes, a big love
i get even more

I love the phone so far. The worst part of it is that it's a LG in all honesty. LG's Android skin is hot garbage. They're bloatware is annoying to say the least. The bootloader can't be unlocked. I haven't found a way to root it yet.
I really wish we could flash near stock Android on the phone. All the advantages of stock Android as well as duel screen functionality. That would be the dream.
speed and battery life is great, im trying to use the stock launcher, also i havent got into the dual screen too much so far, really miss the root capabilities on my op5, hope we get a good root guide
and man the audio is unbeatable.
Back to being a LG fan
I'm late to the game but I really like this phone, glad it's way better than the g7, purchsed it yesterday,glad to be away from Samsung.
