MeshachM.ARTINS, we where close but it is coming with the SD 439.

Apart from the Mi Play It seems Xiaomi/Redmi no too send MediaTek this year.

Seems I'll wait for this device to be launched. I've been planning to get redmi 6a because of the size 5.45", but this seems a perfect choice as it will be newer and also has the same size.

Lol my Max 2 was taking hard fall as in real hard fall, case will break, screen protector will break, but phone screen was intact 100%

But one small yeye fall wen nor reach anything, from a seating position, phone fell less than 2feet i.e 24inches the phone screen went south.

I've used LG that fell from Upstairs to down floor, no single scratch or crack on screen, phone fell when i wanted to put on the touch light, screen broke

phone screen breaking has nothing to do with hard or soft fall, either of such fall can damage a screen
would you believe me if I told you that the previous fall got the integrity of the phone's screen weakened thereby allowing a small fall to consummate the damage?

Hello,
I want to change my phone, Redmi note 5a prime, I love everything about the phone except the rear camera, it's horrible! So I've been eyeing the Mi 8 lite for some time now but with the recent introduction of Redmi Note 7, I'm confused! I'm a camera freak and I heard the Note 7 is just being overrated camerawise besides the selfie cam on Mi 8 lite is better than that of RN7. I need your advice pls, which should I go for..? I don't care about battery and the rest, I trust XiaoMi to deliver well in those areas. I just need a good camera(Rear and Selfie).

P.S, if there's anything I can do on my Redmi Note 5A Prime to enhance the camera pls lemme know so I don't bother to sell!
Else,
A year Old Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime. 3gb/32gb at 25k. Negotiable
A wonderful 16mp Selfie Camera with soft flash, Mediocre Rear Camera, Fast 3gb ram with Snapdragon Processor. MIUI 10. You can check the rest on Google.� Everything works just fine, No faults. Call 08086182656 or WhatsApp 08068346806!

Thanks
grin grin... Na me and u oooo.... Your budget will decide,but I'm leaning towards the RN6 pro grin... I thought the mi 8 lite is a slightly toned down version of the mi 8 flagship..

First of all no ads here.

Secondly, the Redmi Note 7 is not overrated. I rate it above the mi 8 lite. Also the mi 8 lite has no 3.5mm jack

Exactly!!!...As the phone continues to fall and survives without cracking, it's durability is reduced. Thereby, making every fall that comes afterwards likely to break the screen

I think I'm fed up with people coming into a Xiaomi Thread, filled to the brim with Xiaomi Fans AND Users, and be claiming that Xiaomi is overhyped.. I think I'm fed with Haters derailing this thread, not with questions, but with assertions that so-so-and-so phone is better than a Xiaomi phone, while pretending to be here for "research and enquires"..

Please please and please if you have any comparisons to make, if after 3 pages of your questions not been satisfactorily answered, GO AND OPEN YOUR OWN COMPARISON THREAD, and let Users of the phones u are enquiring about come there and drop their own opinions IN YOUR OWN THREAD.. Don't Derail Our Thread with your Pretentious Oversabi I-Know-It-All questions.. Let Us see space to actually Help People that have bought and is currently using Xiaomi Phones.. Not one nothingness that will come here, derail this thread finish and end up buying one useless Tech-No Camon 1975

And for those saying Xiaomi is overhyped, this screenshot is for You.. Xiaomi is the Number One Most Affordable Smartphone brand in the World right now.. The facts speak for themselves.. This Xiaomi Thread is currently the BIGGEST Thread on Nairaland's Phone Section, no be by mouth, no be by Hype.. It's Live, It's Real.. If na Overhype, why your favorite never beat am?

You just hit the nail on the head. Xiaomi is so grossly over hyped here in this thread i almost fell for it. I think its because most of the people here are kids and have not really seen or used fones.

Troublemaker101:

Over hyped??... I don't think so, and why are u recommending the x5 for a camera centric person?? undecided
Sorry Bro's I'm Just Joking. grin I'm 100% Xiaomified. grin
TroubleMaker, Trust Me the RN7 Isn't A Scam. The 48MP is top notch and even at that it has active developer support so Gcam would help if you aren't impressed by the default by any chance. The redmi note 6 pro was always praised online for its good camera. I think Techtablets declared a draw with the Mi 6X/ Mi A2

I honestly don't think you can find a better camera phone at that price really. Xiaomi gives you good cameras, an efficient processor and large battery to keep you balanced. That's the magic of Xiaomi. People that are using Xiaomi here were once using Tecno and Infinix products but you can tell why they ported to mi.

And to Madgoat, unless ur just trolling why not get to a Xiaomi outlet close to you and have a feel of the device? There's nothing wrong if it doesn't fit your taste. But I think majority of the smartphone users on this thread aren't Kids but really grounded in all kinds of Tech. A user here has been tweaking phones on this forum since 2006. shocked

Peace cool

But all those features are available on the Redmi Note 7 and the Note 7 will get more support than the Note 6 pro since it is already one generation old.


I use the redmi note 7 pro, but I don't know how to use the night sight feature. Also how do I use the color pop?
