Given Xiaomi's poor memory management, it would have been better with 2GB. It would also be poor utilisation of 64-bit architecture.
 
How? Please elaborate
The full utilisation is possible only through ART which is ensured only from Lollipop onwards. Given the slow pace of updates by MIUI, by the time they come to senses with 5.0, the device will already be outdated.
There MAY be a chance if Xiaomi releases their kernel sources early then it may get Dev support to utilise the same.
Technically, somebody else would be in a better position than me to comment on it.
Frankly speaking, if its Xiaomi then its better to keep your eyes,ears open and mind open before purchasing it.
