Pls geeks! Am in a crossroad of choice to make now between these two phones, Redmi note 7 and Tecno camon 12 as they both fall within my budget. I want a detailed breakdown of d advantage of one over the other for me to come to a conclusion n eventually make my choice. I appreciate u all.

Redmi note 7-
Better camera
Better overall performance
Better chipset(snapdragon 600 series)
hope of Android 10 update, which is likely to come
Better and more polished Android skin (miui)
Support for gcam
USB type c
Fast charging support.
Camon 12-
Wide angle lens
That simo free browsing thing
(If it's camon 12 pro,the only thing I'll add to the list are AMOLED display and indisplay fingerprint scanner).
The redmi is your best choice.

Thanks a bunch. Ur analysis helped. What if compared to canon 12 pro? Will u still favour note 7?

Pls what is quality in that yellowish camera?
May be op did not known other midranger/low ranger phone manufacturers have moved beyond this yellowish/brownish camera.

Sometimes people talk as if they are in the cave, even if they are in the cave, they should have used the data they use to search for tecno products to search for infomation.

Kindly correct me and compare the camera of other midranger/lowranger like redmi/oppo/realme/umidigi/ulefone/elephone etc.

I appreciate u guys, ur analysis helped me to arrive at a conclusion. I will go for d redmi note 7 n if d redmi note 8 is pocket friendly on d UK used, then I will settle for DAT. Cheers

Oga, the Redmi 7 is even 100 times more better than the Camon 15 sef.
beware of That marketer up there that said he prefers the camon 12.

dont let any heartless marketer come here and convince you that that sh¡tty camon camera is better, the camera on the RN7 coupled with Gcam surppases that of any tecno camon that would be released. Infact if after you buy the note 7 and maybe you want to buy another device, dont ever consider tecno or infinix am saying this cos have been there and it wasnt funny, and please tell people around you to do same.

Bros yeh! Pity dem na, u wan pursue dem comot for market? Will be buying d RN7 wen d lockdown is over. I appreciate u guys if not for ur analysis, I av been a Tecno loyalist n now am gonna make a switch for d very first time n something tells me I am in d right direction.

not just that, you're in the best direction ever and it would be perfected if you never look back.

transsion and their marketers are just plain heartless.

after the lockdown if you couldnt find the RN7, then go for the RN8
or any other better brand.


i would never advice anybody even my enemy to buy a transsion device again.

i could imagine what i passed through out of ignorance and been unimformed.

whenever i looked back at the days i spent my money to buy a transsion device, i always have a feeling of been cheated all those while.

no infinix or techno phone can handle or even supports any graphic processing apps, not even their so-called almighty phantom.

So you warlords of Xiaomi are not tired of trying to destroy Transition co. U guys are really trying, but I hope y'all are paid for the job u are doing both day n night on Nairaland.

Anytime i want to get a new phone and I come to the phone section, I always see ur rantings. With how u people are trying to destroy both Tecno n infinix, one would expect Xiaomi to be selling more than them, but sadly Transition is still the best selling in Nigeria. You people always refer to anyone that tries to write anything good about Tecno n infinix as a marketer.

I hope Xiaomi is paying u for the job u are doing, if not y'all are just wasting your precious time. I also hope Transition will also improve the specs of their phones so that y'all will use your time for something better online. I may also get a Xiaomi phone anytime soon, to discover whether it's worth the praises u are giving it tho my plan is to get a Samsung phone.

Don't say so, myself wouldn't advice someone to buy infinix or tecno as primary phone unless he or she wants it as 2nd phone, imagine buying a phone for 50k plus with helio p35 coupled with 720 screen resolution, are you the end user progressing or falling, when you use a grt phone, u will understand y they are insulting infinix and tecno

Not everybody is a warlord or paid tout, a good product does not need to pay people to get testimony it is mostly bad product that pays people to decieve and defend their evil.

Personaly i use huawei and i v ordered for realme x2 pro, I'm not using xiaomi neither am i their fan, I'm a fan of anything good. Since OP is talking about Redmi and crapno, any reasonable person will always ask op to go for redmi note 7 because no tecno phone can stand toe to toe with Redmi note 7.
If any, kindly point it out here.

Concerning transsion, the truth does not cost anything, it only cost u your conscience. Transsion is a bad company who extort innocent people who really does not know much other than plastic cover of a phone otherwise no sane human bieng with working brain will buy a phone that uses lower range mediatek chip of 3 years old for a phone and slam 45k to 75k.

Transsion tried to launch infinix in Asia particularly india and pakistain but they failed woefully because they can not survive in a market that people knows difference btw mtk P22, P35, P60,P70,P80 etc and snapdragon 400,600,700 and 800 series and kirin, exynos, Atom etc. The only reasons transsion was so successful in Nigeria is because an average Nigerian dont like to read, they only listen to what ever people tells them, since transsion has so many paid worriors online and in all phone market hubs in Nigeria, it is easy to fool average Nigerian.

I'm planning to buy xiaomi note 8 after this lockdown

I can understand the pain of spending much in buy crappy phones, it's painful walahi. When you can get something even better and cheep.
