I think this is what she meant
There's a thing called in-screen camera
Another name for punch hole camera
It goes by many names though

Point of correction, this is NOT in-screen camera.

Proposed in-screen cameras still in development will be seating underneath the screen and will be invisible until when needed.

bigtt76:
not with the way Mi is releasing Redmi fone versions upandan. I de wait MIUI 11 first before I go decide whether to await Note 10 or decamp to Samsung I love their new galaxy series especially the in screen camera and fingerprint. Not too much a fan of the teardrop notch

You mean punch hole cameras. Those are basically glorified notches na

Poshguy2:
Before it goes down maximum of 3%, but now minimum of 10%

Do you use fast charger on the regular?

queenfav:
Today makes it a year since i got my redmi note 5. I bless those who recommended it to me daily. This past year, I have never had cause to replace any part or experienced any issue with it. The battery is still strong (7 hours SOT at least, on a good day I get 8 hrs 30 mins). For a phone I got so cheap compared to others I have used, I am still in love with it that I don't even think of getting a new one. Xiaomi RN5 has been my best device yet! No jokes...

Tell em. Chop knuckle! I've been watching from the sidelines but I had to comment.

wiconse:
Please connect me to that person

I can't quite recall the moniker but he screenshot the jumia offer after placing his order, then later updated us upon receiving the phone.

Those kind of cheap offers pop up on Jumia every now and then, just be on the lookout. Or you can go for the mi9 lite for less than 100k via noobody

hello guys,

This is is the first time I am using a xiaomi phone and also a 4g too.

yesterday night, made it a 24hr since I got this phone and it has consume more than 500 mb.

I know It sound lame, but how do I manage to reduce the data consumption rate on this phone or how do you guys manage data.

Since you're just setting up the phone for the first time, it's obvious the system apps and your Google account info/apps are getting updated.

You can restrict auto update on your play store settings for better control over Google.

It shall reduce when they're all set up

Shakiratemma:
I already did but the google phone override am...Na the google own be forever default

Go to settings>Manage Apps then click the 3dot at the top right cover. Click "default apps", then set the follow come phone app as default.

If it's the default app that's missing the call record option, then a later update should fix that.

Shakiratemma:
It is running miui... It seems there decided to leave this part out of it cos even on their community,people are complaining like kilode

Just seeing this. It'll be be fixed with an update soon

Shakiratemma:
I honestly don't know... D thing dey weak me

Let's see the about section of your phone

genius43:
Nah

Cc9 - Mi 9 Lite (Global Version)

CC9e - Mi A3 (Global Version)

You're correct, my bad.

raydatluvs:
Does the note 5 get miui 11 update? Anyone still using note 5 on miui11.

Can I just rant about how my note5 is barely over a year and there's all these enticing new phones for less than the 62k I paid for this.

Tiger2020:
you paid 62k me that paid 72k nko

mikool007:
Bro we Redmi Note 5 users are all in the same shoes, i paid 75k for mine, the Phone overload is much but its a good thing nonetheless it's making quality phones available to all pocket sizes, as for me I'm contented with my phone, 64gb and a good battery life is all i really need

Lol, today must be lamentations day for my fellow Note 5 owners.

I refuse to join the chorus

Reddington:
Alright. Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery installed? If yes is your answer to both questions, then all you have to do is go into your custom recovery (could be twrp, orange fox etc) and then select wipe from the menu and swipe right to confirm. The wipe won't tamper with any files in your internal or external storage... It's just gonna wipe user data, that's all. After that, you can install the rom. I can share rom link with you in case you get confused as to the exact one to download..

Lol, am actually not a noob and am planning to switch from official stable

flawless911:
Please is this Mi9 lite in naija yet?

Point of correction, Mi9 lite and not Mi 9. It is not officially available in Nigeria

Shakiratemma:
Very strange ooo... I jst dey hate dis google phone n message

Send a screenshot of your call screen. Are you sure it's not Mi A3 running on stock Android?

NCANCHAIR:
Hello Guys. I want want inquire about the CC9e. Is the Xiaomi CC9e available in the Nigerian market and what is the price range?
Please any idea from somebody very vast in this product, And where I can get it.

Prompt and explicit responses would be highly appreciated. Thanks Fam

CC9e is exclusive to the Chinese market.

Konnektions146:
lol, the owner is a colleague at work, he owns the phone, he told me cos i use Xiaomi and i cant seem to get it pass.

please note- when you input wrong passcode the time it gives you to try again increases as you repeatedly try, but no matter how repeatedly you put this, its always 4 minutes

Tell him to recall his PIN, there's no way an encrypted security system will forget it's set password.

onuwaje:
Any good games to download on Redmi 8?

That won't cause damage to the screen?

Is there ever a game that has been reported to cause damage to phone screens before?

Reddington:
Alright. It's been over 2 days since I got myself immersed in Miui 11, and like I promised, I'm gonna do a review. That way, fam members who are still on Miui 10 or lower versions will get to know what they're missing or not missing.

For a start, Miui 11 is packed with some fresh and eye-catching features. Honestly it still beats me why some persons here opined that Miui 10 and Miui 11 are more or less same. I don't get it. Pls allow me to guide you through the new additions on Miui 11:

UI Design.
Perhaps, the most noticeable change on Miui 11 is the new material UI design. Although icons/UI look minimalistic, it's very bold, colorful, crisp and stylish. That of Miui 10 ain't bad to be fair, but it lacks the crispness of Miui 11. Miui 11 made major changes in the general looks of Rom's UI starting from the boot logo.

Effects.
Another new stuff is the transitions effects - to be fair, it's quite pleasing to the eye and makes the whole Miui experience elegant and enjoyable. You notice these effects while opening/closing apps, navigating through settings and toggling the drop-down menu switches. Very sweet.

Screen time.
Miui 11 is equipped with a very special feature called "screen time". Now, if you're on android 10, then there's a big chance you already know about this. "Screen time" is very similar to Google's "Digital Wellbeing" feature (I personally think Xiaomi copied this from Google). This new feature basically tracks your activities, giving you an alarmingly detailed info on how much time you spend on your phone (daily, weekly, monthly), the time is further narrowed to apps, giving you precisely how much time you spend on each app. It even lets you set daily screen time limits for apps, individually. That way, you can control your addiction to certain apps and focus on more relevant things. I think this's a fantastic feature. It's one of my favorites.

Font.
Miui 11 also has a new font feature called "font weighting". It essentially helps you to adjust the boldness of your font without changing the individual font. Also, a new font (MilanPro) was introduced, and it's actually a nice font. Although it has a striking resemblance with Google's font, "Google Product Sans" - makes me wonder if Xiaomi got their inspiration from there..

Game Turbo. Quick Replies.
Good news for gamers. With major improvements, the Game Turbo feature is also available on Miui 11 under Settings - > special features. It optimizes the phone's RAM & GPU and readies it for any game, ensuring optimal game performance. There is also a new feature called "quick replies" which helps you to conveniently send instant replies on supported apps.

Status Bar.
Status bar icons such as network bars appear to have been reduced in size on Miui 11. Network Type symbols such as H+ or 4g now sits on top of the the network bars rather than the sides as the case was on Miui 10. Also, the 4g symbol disappears when you turn off the data (creating space for more icons) and reappears when data is turned on. This wasn't the case with Miui 10.

Battery.
The battery performance on Miui 11, in my opinion, is better than that of Miui 10. No lies - I was able to squeeze out a couple more minutes (somewhat 40 - 55 mins). I use RN5 pro - so it's very possible that the performance may vary across other models. Thus, my assessment is not definite.

To spare you some time reading this annoyingly long post, there're some other noteworthy additions to Miui 11 which I'm not gonna explain further. They include:

* Improved Calculator (calculator now supports picture-in-picture feature)
* Drop-down menu toggle button for Dark mode.
* New dynamic sound effects.
* Blur app preview (lets you blur apps on the "recent" menu)
* MiShare (Similar to Apple's Airdrop. For sharing apps/files seamlessly)
* Improved file manager (I still prefer the file manager on Miui 10 tho)
* Ambient Display (Doesn't work as I use RN5 pro)

Not sure if I'm missing anything, but these are some changes I was able to spot. The display colour I complained about on Pie is still there, but there is a slight improvement. TBH, with all the features on Miui 11, I'm not sure I'll be moving back to 10. It's just too much to ignore.
The guys complaining about Miui 11, especially the ones planning do downgrade, I wonder if they're aware of all these features or simply chose to ignore them. Miui 11 is a masterpiece and it should be forward ever, backward never. It can only get better.
Huge thanks to Xiaomi & to whoever came up with the idea of opening this thread. I bless the day left Sammy for Xiaomi.

Very concise review.

I noticed you're on Xiaomi.eu rom on RN5, please what items did you wipe before flashing the rom?

wiconse:
I would have loved mi 9t, but I heard it is above 100k.

True but be on the lookout, someone got it for 80k+ surprisingly via jumia. The mi9 lite is below 100 though and matches the 9t

paradigmshift:
i use to use that tap to wake on my note4x, the thing nearly kill me, i guess it was the mtk shiiit.
i will activate it now on my mi9t now cos i don't like pressing d power button always

I guess in the case of your note4x it was waking the screen while in your pocket without your notice.

You can activate Pocket Mode to address that.

isco10:
Please how to set up double tap to wake up?

Go to settings>display then scroll down, among the options you'll see "double tap to wake"

paradigmshift:
that ish dey eat battery

Are you sure about that? I've had that feature activated on all my phones that support it from day 1 and I don't notice any battery ish.

Plus saves you the stress of any faulty volume or power buttons in the future.

paradigmshift:
thanks boss.
i miss one feature of miui10. if i press my volume key on my phone , it will wake up. i can't find that feature in muiu11..

Why not activate double tap to wake on the lock screen. That way you kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Deeni131:
Ooops, I thought we are supposed to say our mind and gets more enlightements , besides nairaland is not owned by ur father so if u dnt want be quoted u can get the hell out of it. We comment and expect to be challenge here as long as we talk reasonably without any insult. Sound like u r advertising ur product.

After being caught trolling you're now trying to form familiarity.

Plz stop quoting me

Konnektions146:
I have a Redmi 4x that refuses to accept pin to unlock

each time , it asks you input PIN to unlock, it asks you to wait for 4 minutes, If it was a wrong pin/unlock code, it would increase the trial time progressively.

Any help?

i tried to flash the password clean but its unlocked

Have you tried giving it to the owner to unlock?

GrandMufti:
He hates himself

Boss, so you've noticed too. I dunno why some people derive joy from fooling themselves

genius43:
I don't count SD Card and Radio as important features anymore. Since the days of Samsung galaxy S4, I lived without radio am still alive. My current phone Radio is the least most used app. As for SD Card common ones tend to slow down phones as they can't match with your in-built storage speeds so I avoid SD Cards on my phone.

Only the 3.5mm Jack I still have a bias for.

That account has been trolling for the past couple of days now. May be a marketer for all I know

Deeni131:
I love xiaomi phones but I hate phones without SD card dedicated slot or headphone jack and other important features like radio etc. And moreover I hate pop up motirised camera.

I was not referring to you so stop getting in my mentions.

I've long noticed your sly & nitpicking comments, you think you're smart.

Go and produce your perfect phone, coz I don't care what you like.

wiconse:
i have about 70-100k for a new phone.someone said rn8 4gb

If your budget is within that range then why not get something more premium? e.g. Mi 9se, Mi 9t, M9 lite

SaintHilary:
There's no doubt in today's Nigeria, We all have to "HUSTLE" one way or the other.

getbizy:

Lol, you know it's only a phone company that's either ashamed or deceitful that will be hiding that kind of vital information on the regular.

50k for a 2 bedroom apartment
