Well if the person can get it during the flash sale as it isn't readily available in stock.

what do you mean by stock android and miui skinned please kindly elaborate and also what can 6 pro do that a2 lite can't and vice versa

Stock Android is pure Android, just like the folks at Google prepared it; material design, no bloatware, fast OTA updates, etc.

MIUI is an Android skin from Xiaomi, it is a skin because under the hood it is still Android, just that it has been modified. For instance, most of the icons have been changed, there is no app drawer, most apps have also been substituted with Xiaomi's versions, in short the whole look and feel is different from stock Android.

Mi A2 lite can do whatever the Redmi 6 pro can do, they are like twins dressed in different clothes. The major difference will be that the A2 lite will receive Android one updates, while the 6 pro will receive MIUI updates. Also the A2 lite will have no bloatware, while the 6 pro is likely to have some bloatware.

P.S: Be careful when ordering the Redmi 6 pro though, make sure you purchase only one that has its box sealed; lest you purchase one with the dreaded shop ROM (fake ROM), a sure path to brickland if there ever was one.

Really starting to like this Nokia X5 due to the frequent mentions and reference the device is getting...my only ish is the ba3....i know it's processor optimizes it well enough to last..but being a heavy user( not a gamer tho..use to be) i still kinda prefer a 4000 mah ba3...like those in infinix/tecno (sorry for mentioning those devices grin)Although those phones are not as fast as the X5 i think their processor optimizes the ba3 well enuf for the 4000mah to last longer than a 3060mah in X5....I want an honest opinion from someone with experience on both a 4000mah phone and the current nokia X5....Does the Nokia X5 last as long as lets say infinix hot S3-X..with a 4000mah??....
its much more powerful than my redmi note 5 but battery life is between 5-7hrs depending on usage while on d redmi note 5 its between 7-10+ hrs depending on ur usage

Nearest post office except if you choose DHL. Hefty charges have been very minimal of late.

Sorry for your loss. Was thinking having a duplicate/mirror of that drive which is to be updated from time to time would have helped too.

Sorry for your loss, please call your banks so they can block your accounts with them because the thief might not even need your phone but your registered SIM. That's the most important and first thing to do right away, as to retrieve the phone I really dunno maybe others can help.

Sorry.

If you have like 15 to 30k [not fixed] report at a police station division, and ask about tracking a stolen phone.
You will need the receipt/phone box [for proof of ownership] and the IMEI for the actual tracking.
Can take between 2weeks to be found.
However the bright side is every money spent will be refunded by the persons found in possession.
You can as well negotiate further for compensation or threaten you want to charge them to court.

My Redmi Note 7 just got an update that enables it to hide the notch at will or select individual apps, I was going to get the Mi 8 Lite for this very reason, I guess patience pays, a little forseeability too.
