y do you need to stabilize the video, just fix the phone to a tripod stand or a gimbal and record ur video. U don't have to hold it on ur hand. Mehn it's not too late to start, it's a good thing to just start. Share your videos on social media and people will notice u
OK,thank you very much, am on a tight budget,and I was thinking of the tripod stand idea or handheld gimbal but I feel they will be quite expensive (esp the gimbal).well,i will try to do more research this night tho... Thanks(for replying/your help)

check on jumia or better still, check aliexpress. There are some cheaper options. A company that's manufacturing wireless chargers are planning to send me some samples of their products from China for review.

Did you order from different stores or the same store? If its from the same store. Snap the glass you have. If you still have the package also snap it and send to seller..
.
But if you bought from different stores, then they won't come the same day...

Thanks for replying.

They are both from the same store,and shipped together.

I've snapped and sent it to him.

Nokia 5.1 plus/x5helio p60 vs Redmi Note 7 sd660

My explanatory gaming and battery review based on my preferences (yours may differ)

I been using the Nokia 5.1 plus for a month now. ordered for the note 7 just on Saturday and jumia brought my phone for me yesterday, I've had enough time to review both phones hand in hand.

Nokia 5.1 plus
Pros
1. faster processor than the redmi note 7.
2. Android one Ui (fast processes because no bloatware)
3. Budget friendly (for the price its not that bad, underclocked cpu with fhd screen and 3000mah)
4. 4hrs Gaming SOT with battery saver (from 100% you can be able to squeeze a minimum of 7 classic games and you'd be left with about 14%) not bad for the price

Cons
1. Small sized screen (played pubg on the phone and it was hell for me, panning the screen was a big issue. If you like me that has gorrilla hands. Don't buy.)
2. Undarrated and unoptimised processor and gpu (the helio p60 mashed with the Mali g72 is good but it's been proven that Mali gpu Is not for gaming. Although the Nokia 5.1 plus is capable of playing hdr in full 60 FPS with gfx tools. Nevertheless the phone heats up to as high as 43° when u play for 1hr on smooth + High fps.)
3. Heat issues (same as no 2, the phone will heat up even if graphics are set to the lowest, at the rate of 2hrs of gaming you'd be able to slow cook an egg on the screen of the Nokia 5.1 plus.
4. Aggressive ram management (Nokia has refused to remove the annoying evenwell packages that kill your apps when you leave them for too long. So pausing the lobby to go on discord or WhatsApp to invite a friend to come online is not a good idea for doing this may force the game to restart.
5. The Mali g72 has optimization issues, some random bugs (controls freeze at random, mics don't work until u restart the game, controls become stiff when the screen becomes hot)

Redmi note 7
Pros
1. Better processor and optimized gpu than the Nokia x5.
2. Bigger screen and quality resolution
3. Higher battery life = more game SOT (6hrs 02mins and I was left with 6% from 100 with battery saver on)
4. Better gpu and processor to back it up (Adreno is the best for mobile gaming, I don't want to hear anything).
5. Heat is less, it goes as high as 38°, almost like its non existent unlike the Nokia that gets as high as 40°+.

Cons.
1. Some people may not find It budget friendly due to the price difference because the Rn7 costs almost 50% more than the Nokia.
2. Some might feel the phone is too big because of the 6.2inch display (it's not for u sorry)
3. I noticed some lags and frame drops (60fps to 35fps when you look at the sky and when you land hot drops on the 3gb variant) it lasts for about 1sec.. I don't see it as a big deal. If you're bothered about full 60fps you should go for the 4gb variant.

Nevertheless both phones are great for gaming but I feel the redmi is superior due to the chip and gpu although helio p60 has potential to be better, I feel mtk has a thing or 2 to learn from qualcomm.

My advice.
If you know you don't have a gas cooker or hot plate at home and you want to cook indomie the Nokia is a good option.. (asides the beauty of the Nokia the phone gets really really hot)
And lastly if you want something that'll carry you for long hours of the day without charge scare the the redmi note 7 is your best option.

In the end it boils down to our budget.

I have also noticed the issue, only on PUBG and when you use three fingers. Two thumbs doesn't cause the screen to jitter.

Xiaomi have already rolled out an update to fix this though by slightly reducing the phone sensitivity as it is an hardware issue and a permanent fix through software isn't feasible. If you don't play PUBG, you probably wouldn't notice.
how are you coping with it. Are you sure it doesn't affect those that uses two fingers. Cos I ant to get the phone very soon?
