I was Finally able to resolve the issue,even flashing fastboot rom couldn't resolve it.Seems some nigerian IP re being blacklisted from connecting to xiaomi servers so all i did was to use a VPN(USA IP) to update the system apps. Also Battery seems okay now.
Thank you GrandMufti bigtt76 and others who helped.More ethereum to your ERC20 wallets grin

Please i need an explanation on how this Aliexpress 11:11 promo works. Because the price i saw there is still the same price outside and inside the promo. Just that the promo gives you chance to pre order by paying some few amount before the promo day. I need a clear explanation please. Help a bro

Please offer a review. How's the phone?


well the phone is sleek...with a nice user interface, the battery is also good. But the camera like all Xiaomis is wack, I'm even thinking of rooting and installing Gcam. Summarily the phone minus the picture software is nice

Coming from someone that has a DSLR camera and a photography knowledge, I would say phone cameras are what it, and you actually pay for what you get.

However, what google did with gcam, I would say it's unbelievable. I would never have imagined software could make so much difference. I'm sure I would have argued with anyone about this in the past. But gcam has humbled me.

Now I can know the limits imposed by hardware can be broken at an exponential level based on software in some cases.

You would not believe me, some shots with gcam viewed on a small screen can be comparable to shots on DSLR viewed on the same small screen.

Recently someone with an iPhone x had to beg me to transfer the pictures I took with gcam on a dirt cheap Samsung a5 2017 as the pictures I took with gcam was way better than the ones he took with his iPhone x.
For most Samsung phones however, camera2api is enabled by default, so no rooting or flashing is needed to install gcam

Will I advice newbies to root because of gcam? No.
Does gcam make a difference in mobile photography? Yes, a big one!

Ultimately, everyone is responsible for their decisions with respect you their phones and the corresponding outcome of the decisions assuming we are all above 18.so if you like use your phone the way it is, if you like install anything you let, it's your phone. But dont come crying when you brick am or blame seller as this is so wrong
I love this comment, was just like you some months back(never believed software can make such a huge difference), I too use Gcam and also a DSLR, the outcome really is mind blowing. The main limitation still is in low light for mobile photography. About your last statement, this issue has been treated many times here, that's why there's a second thread, but many still bring such issues here either deliberately or not.

The promo hasn't really started, all they are trying to say is you can take advantage of some "cool" items by pre-ordering them with a token. I wouldn't if I were you though, wait for the real sales where you would be able to apply coupons etc.

People who compare it with TECNO claim it's wack. I would have to do another camera comparison test.

Did one early this year

Please do. I used a Camon CX air before this and I can say I prefer the pictures taken by my Redmi Note 5 save for the selfie camera at low-light because of the LED flashlight.

My aunt's Infinix Hot 4 even took better pictures than the CX Air.
