I hope you read the OP well when he started the poll. If you had read him well, you wouldn't have said this. Moreover, for Xiaomi, a farely new brand to lead the polls says alot and you cannot downwash that with your inconsequential opinion.

Mightyraw:

How is your one plus experience , I bought the one plus 8
Waiting for it this week

naturalwaves:

Hahaha. No mistake at all. I'm a computer scientist and 1 year ago when my phone was stolen, I did a mad research for 2 months plus before I decided that Xiaomi was the way to go. My research started from Antutu Benchmark to non sponsored reviews on YouTube and so many other things.

Truth is, Xiaomi is also highly respected in India. Indians are very tech savvy people and you cannot package trash for them at an exorbitant price because they know so much about phone build, processor etc etc. Apple has less than 2 % market share in India(a country of over 1 billion people). This is not because more people cannot afford it but because they consider the offering as trash based on the functionality. How can you sell a phone that comes with less than 3,000mah battery at a huge price? 16gig Rom too and some other useless specs.

When you sit and look at the functionality of a Xiaomi phone and the build quality, you will wonder if the company even makes profit at all. Xiaomi offered a Gorrilla glass 5 at less than a 100k; something other phone variants will offer close to 200k. No lag, nothing at all on the phone. Phone never gets hot even when charging. Comes with fast charging. I also bought an extra 30W charger that charges so so fast. When people hold your phone, first thing they ask is.... What phone is this? , I like it!

Xiaomi is the first brand I will see that users personally campaign for the brand without being paid because they are overly satisfied. Moreover, the poll has done justice!

zedegit:


Real justice it is. I hope the price doesn't sky rocket o.

There are many persons that don't visit or know of nairaland, hence, relying on this alone doesn't count. I gave a simple illustration of the last presidential election,how Atiku was leading in polls but the reality was different. Those who mentioned me implied that this poll counts hence the reply

You have said it all.. I will say it again, Xiaomi doesn't run or need promotional advert to make gain. Their good performance make the advert for them through fan/users.

The poll isn't a sample opinion of Nigerians. Nigeria is a country of around 2 million people. Nairaland is not even up to 2 % of that. So, we never said it is a representation. It only shows that the phone is gaining grounds, has support and loyal customers. If you had read the Op's opening line, you wouldn't need to have even said anything.

Comparing politics to this was a wrong analogy. Politics is a game of sentiments and a lot if factors are involved. Also, politics is not a game of opinion but a game if numbers. It is only a fool that would have thought that Buhari would lose the election in the last polls. Most of the idiotas that voted online didnt even have a voter's card.

naturalwaves:

Exactly!

edoairways:

That is not the reality. The percentage of votes is insignificant when compared to millions of Nigerians in the villages, towns and cities. If you were to go by online poll, PMB wouldn't have won the presidential elections. These are facts

I use Xiaomi Redmi note 8Pro. Bought last month at 123k. Best phone I ever bought. Pix quality out of this world.

edoairways:

I replied that dude who was salivating by implying that xiaomi has 20 persons. I saw your post on the marketing techniques of xiaomi, that strategy is good one however it takes time for it to work. Other competitors are watching and would come up with tactics to twart such effort. Xiaomi should better change their strategy before it is too late

Xiaomi that is busy studying Nigerian market, when they will land fully, I don't think any brand will see their back for naija. This is my observations

naturalwaves:

I just hope the prices do not sky rocket. When I got my phone, I had enough cash to get Apple or any other brand but I decided not to be stupid with the offerings. See the Antutu benchmark ranking for May. Xiaomi has 4 phones in top 10 worldwide for Android.

DragnetisaKuk:


Realme X2 Pro is not owned by Xiaomi. Realme is a separate brand that manufactures devices aimed at having high value for money just like Xiaomi's sub brand Redmi.

drjprince:
the truth is,it is impossible to stop good energy
Xiaomi mean well for people of the world

naturalwaves:

Imagine Xiaomi's mid range phones being able to compete with high end of other brands.

drjprince:
