Which Transsion Device(be It Tecno, Infinix, Or Itel) Is Better Than Redmi 9? by Mustiboy(m): 7:20pm On Jul 15, 2020
For clarity purpose, Xiaomi produces smartphones for different levels and purposes.

Given this, their smartphones are segregated into three levels, which are the entry level, mid range, and flagship level.

Entry-level devices from Xiaomi usually come with names such as Redmi 9, Redmi 8, Redmi 7, Redmi 6, etc.

Following the aforementioned segment are the mid-range smartphones from Xiaomi, which are usually named Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 8, Redmi Note 7 (which I use), and below.

Flagship smartphones from Xiaomi usually dump the Redmi name and are instead named Mi; e.g, Mi Note 10, Mi 9, Mi 10 Pro, etc.

Having understood the above, it is imperative that you know each level has its price range. Xiaomi's entry-level devices are usually priced between 35k—50k, while their mid-range smartphones are priced between 60k—85k. Their flagships, on the other hand, can be priced from 100k and as high as 300K.


Now, the point is that the Redmi 9 is an entry-level device which would have cost between 40k to 55k— if not for the toll the ongoing pandemic took on countries' economies worldwide; be that as it may, you can still get it within that price on AliExpress.


Now that you understand what level the Redmi 9 belongs, can anyone please tell me which Transsion device beats this entry-level phone from Xiaomi? I don’t want answers like “in terms of big display or big battery.” I want answers that are explanatory and straight-to-the-point. Tell me how exactly the Transsion device that you pitch against the Redmi 9 beats it.
I’ll love to see a Transsion device win.

Below are the Redmi 9’s key specs:
1080P*2140 FHD Display
MIUI 11 on Android 10 (Upgradeable to MIUI 12 on Android 11)
Helio G80 Processor
USB Type-C (18 Watts Charging)
3gb/32gb or 4gb/64gb Ram and Storage.
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
An IR Blaster at the top for controlling home appliances


The purpose of this thread is to make people understand that Transsion calling some of their smartphones flagship doesn’t mean they are actually flagship; entry-level devices from other brands which cost way lesser than the supposed Transsion flagships can give equal value— if not more.



Update:
Since yesterday, nobody could come up with a Transsion device that sweeps the floor with the Redmi 9. Does that mean Redmi 9, an ordinary entry-level device from Xiaomi, is better than all devices from Transsion?


I'm shocked. A 50K phone beating even Transsion's smartphones that cost above 100K.


Doesn't this prove how useless Transsion is? As well as how blinded the buyers of their products are?

Nokia is far better than Xiaomi? Okay, that's a good start.


Can you please tell us how exactly Nokia is better? Is it design, build quality, camera, used processor, name it? Just be elaborate.


If I recall, Nokia's entry-level devices in Nigeria are the Nokia 4.2s and its likes; none of them is better than even the Redmi 8a.

bros na were you mess up be this
The Nokia 4.2 is better than the 8a camera wise
Equal to the 8a processor wise
It has a fingerprint sensor
It guarantees you two years of major software updates
It has a notification led on the power button
Coming to design the Nokia 4.2 won a design award last year.
The only advantage of the 8a over the 4.2 is the usb type c, gorilla glass and battery
Also the only advantage of the 8 over the 4.2 is battery, gorilla glass and usb type c, they are equal with camera output.

The xiaomi has no advantage over the Nokia .... you find Nokia replacement parts easily and customer support of Nokia is top notch ...plus Nokia has a real office in Nigeria

Before you say anything further, what is the price of the Nokia 4.2 again, especially the 3gb/32gb version?

As far as I'm concerned, the Redmi 8a beats it with a type-C USB port, better build quality, Gorilla Glass 5, and a lot better battery, not to talk of the feature-packed MIUI 11.

All these even at a lot cheaper price.


Between, the Nokia 4.2 has very huge, ugly bezels.
Even the Redmi 7a is better at bezels management, more so with an 18:9 aspect ratio screen.

I didn't dispute that but don't forget the 4.2 has a glass back and won a design award.

Redmi 9 is not an entry level device. Its lower mid range. So the premise of this argument is deceptive. The price range you're giving for it is also false. That phone is around 70k

What has resolution got to do with screen brightness?

And did you use the phone to conclude that the Wifi is slow?

Oga, redmi 9 is an entry-level device. Perhaps, you're too used to mediocrity so much that the Helio G80 on it made you think it's mid-range.


If not for the pandemic, the Redmi 9 would have been below 45k.


Below is the price on AliExpress.

I wasn't actually bad-mouthing Nokia. I was refuting the guy's claim that Nokia is far better than Xiaomi, which isn't true because Xiaomi ranks a lot higher globally.

Xiaomi Marketers have come again,all these noise nor dey tire Una,nobody buys a product that don't have readily available spare parts,so instead of all these comparisons and all,find a way to source for capital and establish a huge business of Xiaomi parts via partnership with Xiaomi.be bold,approach the company and pitch your idea with them.

The Redmi 8a price was 34k. Forget the current hike in price; it is exorbitant and will return to normal soon.

Between, who uses a 5.7 inch-screen phone in 2020? More so one with such huge bezels and a weak battery?
