iPhone 7 self beat all the camera on Xiaomi phone series
Talkless of 8+


If you want camera go for 8+, bear in mind

By camera, you mean portraits Cause apart from portraits, the Redmi Note 10 pro go floor the 8+...

Make una no dey buy UK used iPhones o. I can't fit take that risk. It's either it's new or nothing. In this case, go for the RN10 pro abeg. To be on a safer side

Most Nigerians can only afford UK used of these high-end phones.

They don't care about any possible defects; they just wanna belong and brag.

Don't even compare.

I've seen camera samples of the 8+, and the Note 10 is just better, even in the video department.

The only area I give it to the iPhone is consistency and stability.

On the RN10P, you can take a pic of an object on a particular spot and get great results. Try it later on the same spot and of the same object and you may get worse results than you got earlier.

I think it has to do with how Xiaomi's embedded camera software handles lighting. There's room for improvement in that aspect.

For portraits of humans sha, the iPhone 8 plus does extremely well, even better than the RN 10 pro. iPhones from iPhone 8 plus upwards win for portrait department, even much better than the pixel devices

I've noticed great portraits on iPhone 11 upwards, but not on iPhone 8 plus and 7.

I may have to handle one again and test

I recently helped a friend to get an S10 Plus at 175k. That's after I've adviced him on several occasions to just get Poco F3, RN10P, or S20 FE; he didn't yield.

I just leave am. I hope he's happy with the S10 Plus.

Phone wey be say the only things that can be adulated on it are the screen and processor, which even those of the S20 FE and Poco F3 are better than.

Camera has failed to impress me. Maybe I'm the one not just digging it yet.

Hello, Quick Question .

Earlier I received the Android 11 update.
But due to the bad reviews I saw online regarding the update. I refused to update it.

Today I just received a notification for the MIUI 12.5 update.

The question is; can I update to MIUI 12.5 while still on Android 10?

Because it hasn't happened to you so you have little or no experience about it. It's is 80% a hardware problem, the update just triggers it. People on 12.0.10, 12.0.11 and even 12.0.15 have experienced it. Disconnecting the battery only works for about 3 "deadboot" cycles, after that, disconnecting the battery stops working. The next solution is to blow hot air into the board, even that is a temporary fix too. So the best solution really is to cash in on the Warranty at the Service Center and hope that miraculously Xiaomi supplies them with the parts for a board replacement. That is the only permanent fix for now, waiting for any update to correct this anomaly is a complete waste of time.

PS: i am speaking from a very vast experience on this particular problem, so if you own a R9T or his twin brother Poco M3, i strongly advice against updating except it is absolutely necessary and hope the board of the phone doesn't give in.
Something that I have updated and restarted several times.

You can't except you want to build your own ROM and the bugs are experienced more on 12 with Android 11 than 12.5 on Android 11

He is already anticipating bugs.

Let him remain on the Android 10 he is. Android 12 is coming to his device and he won't still use it because he can't step into Android 11.

We wey dey use Android 11 never die

That's why i used the keyword " it hasn't happened to you ". It can't possibly affect all R9T but you still have to take precaution and ignore my advice at your own peril.

This update won't kill your phone bro. Just update in good faith. This your mind set alone grin; it's like you've already accepted that something will go wrong; and it will even if the update is good. Your mind ehn. It's well.

I literally posted an official rating that shows the camera performance of both phones are on par.

N.B. I'm not referring to anything else apart from camera

Have you tried all the ports on your PC?

As for the other one download full ROM and install.

You didn't state your device how do we know the particular model you are talking about?

So I should take your words ahead of professionals that grading phones are actually their job ?
Xs Max camera might be more consistent but it certainly isn't better
