A huge fan of its camera section and the mediatek processor here.
Please is the memory expandable via dedicated slot or shared slot??
I like the smartphone as it has got a nice mediatek processor along with the 4GB of RAM.

Please, I got my camon 18 last December but the fingerprint has stopped working… Says fingerprint software not available
That is strange. Have you tried resetting the phone; that is full factory reset?
