So I was privileged to use the Redmi Note 7 over a long period of time which was around the span of a year.

Although I've always loved MIUI and all of its customizations but it was definitely a first time having a feel of their own device.

The phone was made out of glass on the front and the back but with a plastic case. Very nice feel and premium design with sharp cutting edges but also felt "plasticky". This is beginning to sound like a review which I'm not interested in doing so let's cut the chase here.

The bottom line is their devices are good from my experience and usage especially considering what we already have here in the country, yes I'm talking about Infinix and Tecno.

I believe the level of customizations and work Xiaomi puts in their devices cannot be compared to anything Transission can offer and trust me when I say this that most of their devices are nothing but palatable trash. Still on this, Xiaomi Phones are not the best or even to considered as saviours in the smartphone world but when you factor in the prices and craftsmanship of these phones you are left with no other option but to consider them worthy.

There is no perfect phone and most Xiaomi Phones are budget devices that offer some flagship functions.

Having used devices such as the Infinix hot 8 and it's lite version I've come to a conclusion that when it comes to UI, ram management and overall feel; Xiaomi exceeds by a large margin.

I recently decided to do away with my Redmi Note 7 after the camera glass broke and images got blurry from the damage and also the power button broke cause it's made out of cheap plastic.

My advice is this, if you're sourcing for premium features and peace of mind, do not consider budget devices especially from brands like Xiaomi, umidigi, oppo and the rest of them.

But my dilemma will always be why would Nigerians take out their hard-earned money and pay for over priced phones which continue to offer mediocre specifications and are way worse than anything Xiaomi could offer.

The fact is I never said they were good, you just made that conclusion and that was the point of what was written up there.

Phone that was released last year. How come you've used it for 2 years?

That was a mistake on my part but is there anything else you can come up with

It's so sad that you are comparing xaiomi to transsion devices..
May God have mercy on your soul.

I really admire your blind support for a smartphone brand that don't give a cent about you except if they are the ones that are actually paying you. Enjoy.

while checking your profile, I discovered that you have already opened a thread like this not long ago

so what's the point of this one?

you're just complaining & condemning other products but u couldn't make a single recomendation. Though it's obvious that you'll recomend no more than samsung or iphone.

Very misleading topic....

And your comments on every Xiaomi based topic is based on what exactly?

With the way you rushed to type this mess, shows you are already defensive and nothing I'll really say will change your mind in regards to these "Chinese brands" but good luck with that and lastly I wish I was new to phones, do check my post and topics to clear your doubts.

U got it wrong, u were condemning some brands because they are Chinese phones, it seems u just ve beef with them, but don't just come generalizing them, i have not use any of those phones u are criticizing as my personal phones, but i have personally recommended them, and to me they are far beta than all Samsung budget phones starting frm the Galaxy Aseries and the M series

mikeycharles the simple reason why you suddenly dislike xiaomi is the fact that your need is insatiable.

You want to compare my personal experience to your recommendations? How does that work exactly Also I never hated on Chinese devices cause let's be honest most phones are manufactured in China. My issue here is people wanting premium features from budget devices and also folks pushing others to patronise brands that are not reliable and are only focused on making quick bucks by releasing 20209272 different versions of similar devices i.e Tecno and Xiaomi.

I never liked them and I'm sure I never will but okay.

mikeycharles:
I never liked them and I'm sure I never will but okay.

But they are good. Like you implied, if your budget is tight you might consider them. However which brand do you suggest aside tecno and xiaomi.?

I like the fact that you are been honest and unbiased. So can you suggest any good phone at premium price.?

All brands does that as long as it is a budget phones, they can release 4 to 5 phones a year, and xiaomi is reliable cos 3 of my neighbors are using them(note 8pro, Mi 9t) and till today they are still solid, a phone can last depending who handle the phone even tecno or infinix, majority of people that have phone issues especially battery issues or screen burn in or ghost screen etc is cause by them not handling their phones well, even if u give them S20, they will still come bck to complain, if someone wants a premium phone, the person should up his or her cash and get the one plus 8 or 7t or MI 10 or MI 10 pro or go for the galaxy S10 series or note 10 series or the S20 series, u can't buy a budget phones and be expecting the phone to give u want a high end phone will give

Yeah they're actually good and I never suggested Tecno/Infinix.
I have reached that point where I can only enjoy devices from reputable brands.

@bolded availability and marketing strategy is what these brands have over Nigeria. There's no place you go in Nigeria you don't see it hear their ads. Though in all honesty the strength they put in their ads should be directed to make better devices.

Thank you but the truth is some devices are not reliable and it's really not about manhandling, when you see and use inferior and superior you'll know.
