noobody:
Nice explaination,wish this can be pinned,that telegram feature

That would be nice but wishful thinking since Nairaland stopped adding more features since like forever

dustmalik:
MTN doesn't use band 3 but band 7. Just thought I should correct that.

Corrected, thanks

fibonacci2526:
They get all the good stuffs while we are stuck with infinix hot s3x with sd430 for 63k.

1 billion population no be beans, every OEM wants some piece of the action I guess.

IKON360:
ahh na wa o. I thought global version and global rom were the same. For instance, a phone made in China that has global rom is functional in Nigeria. Isn't it? So which one now is global version and global rom? Abeg sorry but please explain

Both are functional in Nigeria.

Global rom is the variant with hardware built for the Chinese market but flashed with global rom/software. It works perfectly here but only lacks LTE band 20 (which is not needed in China). This band is used only by Smile & partly by MTN. Note MTN use band 7 too so you'll still have MTN LTE signal.

Global version is the variant with hardware built for the international market. It already has the global rom/firmware factory installed.

Least I forget the global version is slightly more expensive due to the extra band but we that don't send we rock the global rom variant, no time

kstan:

My brother. The Poco sweet me, no be lie.

Comfam, abeg where you get the Poco launcher from?

That Poco rom port is the next koko, food don ready for XDA enthusiasts

Ifedith:
App drawer ....
Miui has never had app drawer...

Yeah, but it's expected. Other OEM skins are now featuring an option for users to activate it or not if they choose.

yahmaid04:
snapdragon 845 for that price issa bomb, but other specs just fall out tbh, No amoled, no metal or glass back. intended on upgrading from my RN5ai but mehn will stick to it for a while now.

Metal back comes as standard in all midrange & above devices.

Upon all the things added there You still want Amoled screen and Glass back all for less than $300, guy you harsh o

You want Lei Jun to go bankrupt & relocate to his village abi

Hmmm, after closely looking at the Xiaomi Pocophone I'll say it's the real deal from Xiaomi at the moment. Aside the absence of an Amoled screen it has all the bells & whistles of the Mi 8SE plus a modified MIUI for the right price.

Something tells me we're gradually getting closer to having an "App Drawer" button or gesture option. That's about the only thing I've missed with the default MIUI launcher.

fibonacci2526:
Omo, RIP to OnePlus and honor for India. The pricing is just insane.

If only the brands will bring their fight here, e go sweet die. Can't say I don't envy the Indians at the moment sha

GrandMufti:
Let's wait for the global variant. I know say dem go still pi..mp the global variant pass the India own

Don't mind those Indians, they want everything both first to receive as well as all the pi..mping

Diiike:
Please I need help what's this "other" about its taking much space

"Other" probably referees to your installed apps & system resources. But you still got 8 gig free, so why the worry?

IKON360:
ok thank you, thanks to others who cleared my confusion. So essence, we can get via aliexpress, only China release of xiaomi phones?

Yup, you can as well patronise any of our numerous resellers here.
There are 2 variants to the RN5 version that's available to us Nigerians though i.e Global version & Global rom. Both got similar hardware except the Global rom not supporting LTE band 20.

MobileGees:
so in a nutshell, I can order for Redmi 5AI?

Yup, it's a far better choice. I use same device

nwaobitex:
what are the 'obvious' reasons

Band 3 is an upgrade to the 2 years old band 2. By the way why buy an older version of a device that's already being phased out?

IKON360:
I just saw something, redmi 5 plus (called note 5 in India) redmi note 5 pro (china) and redmi note 5 ai and redmi note 5?? Please which ones can be shipped to Nigeria? Which is which? And excluding sd 625 on 5 aiplus what are the other differences And gsmarena are confusing me.

Don't let the naming scheme confuse you, the name used is based on your location

Redmi 5 plus(China) = Redmi note 5(India)
Redmi Note 5 AI(China) = Redmi Note 5 Pro(India)

For us in Nigeria we have access to the China devices, hope you get the picture now?

franzis:
BREAKING NEWSSS....

While you are waiting for your Xiaomi Redmi note 5 and 5 plus tempered glass screen protector , you can make do with INFINIX HOT 6 (X606) tempered glass it fits well enough

Picture?

Cassie74:
So does band 2

Yeah I know. But I'll still pick the band 3 over the band 2 for obvious reasons

Gptech:
Redmi note 3 ruled out because of the colour, you like shaking tables sha

No table shaking intended

Just that anything that's not got an 18:9 screen looks (no be my mouth una go hear am )

[quote author=olujosh301 post=70475917][/quote]Just some random comments at the mi forum. Like I said am yet to try it out myself. From your screenshot I can tell the battery is really improved though

macbeyland:
I notice that it works when you aren't even wearing the watch, just holding it and looking towards it. I'm going to do a test later by keeping it steady somewhere and positioning my face towards it.



UPDATE.

I strongly believe it works with a sort of motion sensor. I positioned the watch and looked into it, nothing happened but once the watch does the movement, it activates.

Exactly it's a motion sensor. If its to use the option of seeing your face before coming on, then they would have to fix a camera to achieve that.

Gptech:
Device has no name? No specs? And if it's a Redmi series as can be seen, all I can is , unless the specs of course is not the conventional.

Probably a Redmi note 3 or 4 judging by the capacitive buttons.

Did he state 75k?

macbeyland:
I just discovered yesterday that mi band 3 has look to activate function.

You don't have to touch the watch to activate the light to check the time. Once you bend the watch to your face, the time comes on automatically. There's a sensor in the watch that detects gaze.


Looks really cool.

Chat me up if you need.

It actually works by you raising your hand, as if to turn your wrist to your face. Really cool

olujosh301:
Bro just update if you aren't planning on flashing custom ROMs or downgrades antiroll back won't affect you ... I have been using this update for somedays now and the only downside is the portrait mode on the front camera and the battery life really improved and also the fingerprint kinda unlocks faster

How about that! On the mi forum most guys are actually commending the portrait mode of this version while some said the battery is not as good as the older version. Am yet to update though

Kpele. As a rule of thumb always wait for reviews from others when it comes to MTN deals coz those South Africans deceive pass devil.

pansophist:
It's easy to blame the ladies, but if Nigerian men stop aiding and abetting this passive extortion, the ladies will have no choice but to stop it. A woman asking you to pay for her transport fare is one big red flag that any self-respecting man should never condone.

What I also know for a fact is that a girl interested in a man will be in her best behaviour, and blatant extortion masked under "date" will be the least of her focus. Men should also learn to read passive cues to determine if the girl wants to use you as a cash machine.

In the end, a woman will only go as far as permitted. The choice is yours

Couldn't have said it better

The guy is not only a learner but a foolish one at that

I detest when fellow guys can't be manly in their stance & choose the cheaper way of getting to buy their way out. From all account the lady in question doesn't even "send" him & the olodo already splashed 17k. Then WTF is he complaining? Since he has already declared himself the pay master.

Fernandowski:
That's why I get ps4 and good trap music to keep my mind off women



So the guy has to foot all the bills?? Like everything?? She doesn't work and make her own doe or what?? None of my business though


Being single is far better than all these bullshit

Good choice bro until you're sure you've finally met who has earned such attention & stress.
Abeg what's on your latest trap playlist

ifeoma1:
The XDA part got me laughing. Abeg make una end this issue, biko.
Make Una nor scare us when just dey enter the kingdom of Xiaomi

Lol, my broda I've long forgotten that issue but the guy just refused to chill.

MilesLamar:
I did update this morning only to find yet another update?? Hope this is miui10

That looks like MIUI 9. You've got a nice theme there, what's the name?
