7 Reasons Why You Should Avoid Xiaomi Phones by Venoms001(f): 12:03am On Oct 05, 2020
It's not new that these xiaomi fan boys and marketers are aggressively marketing their products everywhere by bringing other brands down just to make their shitty brands relevant. I will urge you not to fall into their traps or else trust me it's going to end in premium tears. grin Trust me most of these xiaomi fan boys are hypocrites, they don't even use what they market.. 85% of them uses the brands they do badmouth secretly and will come here to mislead innocent souls. Here are 7 things Xiaomi Marketers and Fan boys will never disclose to you about their shitty brands:
1. Overated camera: Have you ever wonder why xiaomi fan boys do search for Gcams hypercams, snapseed, lightroom etc grin? Ok here is the reason, their so called stock camera is a way overated which they know deep down cannot take a great pics except with the use of third party cameras. You can never get a unique shot with xiaomi stock camera especially when using selfie camera

2. Outdoor brightness is too poor: hardly can you operate a xiaomi device under the Sun. Because their phone comes with a very weak brightness especially when been operates outdoor

3. Frustrating adds: Xiaomi will frustrate you with ads on their device in which you will always get irritated at every point in time

4. Scarcity of spare parts: this is the most disadvantage of using a xiaomi device. Get ready to be a regular customer of Ali express to order a new part whenever your phone is faulty. Keep your debit card save because you will be needing it from time to time grin

5. Over weighted: if you are used to carrying a bag of cement, you can go for a xiaomi device grin

6. Poor in MIUI RAM management and low refresh rate on their so called midrange phones

7. Poor Service Center : it will take several months for your phone to get fixed. Just take note and no guarantee that it will still get fixed after waiting for several months

Let me stop here for now, more still to come. Get yourself brands like:
Samsung
Oppo
Infinix Zero 8
Tecno Camon 16 premier ( those are the two phones i can guarantee you in transsion devices)
If you have the money, iphone is the best.

DON'T BE DECEIVED ON WHAT YOU SEE HERE BY XIAOMI FAN BOYS AND MARKETERS ON NAIRALAND. THEY ARE HYPOCRITES AND WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH TO FORCE THEIR BRAND ON YOUR THROAT.

Doesn't matter the brand


Once it's from China it's exactly = Trash.


That being said


IPhone or nothing


Yes iPhone is manufactured in China but just the parts


Not the concept or quality


Anything owned and designed by chinese is trash and useless

You have some valid points with the service centres availability.

The rest points are invalid though.
Xiaomi phones are heavier because of the use of metal and glass compared to the plastic often used on these infinix and the likes.

However, people aren't just choosing this brand by accident. I believe they know what they like.
Typing this from a Mi 8 with a snapdragon 845 processor.
Maybe you could find a TECNO or infinx that could rival the power in this device, who knows. undecided

The back cover of my redmi note 8 is made of glass, and guess what? it feels better than a painted plastic back cover.

However, you are right that there is scarcity of Xiaomi spare parts but that doesn't mean it is overrated.

My phone is almost up to a year and I haven't experience anything like lagging or hanging whatsoever, the processor is serving me just perfectly.

Outdoor brightness? I personally don't like a phone with strong backlight like small chinko phones, I love it cool with mad and punchy graphics, and that is xaomi. If you are outdoor, all you need to do is to disable the 'eye care mode' and increase the backlight. dasall

Ads are one hell of a menace for me and all android smartphones are guilty, that's why iPhone will have my respect on that one.

If a phone is hyped, e get why. If anything, this Xaomi is not just overrated.

Are you guys still opening this type of thread in 2020 even after Xiaomi has officially entered Nigeria?

This thread should be thrown back to 2015, it doesn't belong in 2020.

Why do Nigerians criticize without facts?Go on AliExpress to see that Xiaomi phones are the highest selling devices with people buying it from Russia,USA,UK etc

Even on Amazon, it's selling out worldwide!I have used two Xiaomi devices (using a mi note 10 lite presently) and i never had any issues!

I have been privileged to use Samsung s8 in 2018,an iphone 5 way back in 2014,but none gave me all round value for my money and satisfaction like my redmi note 5 pro did.If it was all you listed there,will i buy another of their device worth 150k last month?

I used the first mi phone for two years without any issues.I never for one day had to look for a service center because i didn't need it! That's what you should look for in a brand, durability!


Google search about top phone manufacturers in the world,xiaomi is listed.Gsmarena rated the redmi note 9s as the best overall mid range device in the world for 2020.

Bottom line,this rant is for the gullible on nairaland!I can afford to buy an iPhone 11 pro max or a Samsung galaxy s20.I got a Xiaomi device again because it's value for money and the features gives even flagship devices a run for their money!



Xiaomi is bad, xiaomi is this and that, yet they have an almost 8000 pages thread on nairaland.The highest for any phone brand here on nairaland!What does that tell you?

Hmmm! maybe you're trying to do ur job..
This ur campaign is misleading because Xiaomi phones are built with high quality parts, like the Xiaomi phones screens are of good quality compare to transsion phones you are advertising here.
What people want is quality not mediocre with parts scattered over Nigeria. People are wiser now.

With Xiaomi phones You have freedom to experiment with your phone and a large developer community supporting Xiaomi devices for a long time(e.g Gcam etc)

Amazing features that Xiaomi miui brings to the table.And getting miui updates for a long time.
