NigeriaBam: A gift of gold is expensive, a gift of money is well appreciated, but the gift of being alive is priceless. Only the living celebrate it. Because you have the privilege by GOD to see the light of today, I pray that your eyes will not see evil, your ears will not hear evil, your feet will not enter the traps and evil nets of your adversaries. The evil arrows that fly in the day and night will not hit you and any member of your family.
Good MORNING HOUSE.
MTN AND 9MOBILE DATA AVAILABLE AT CHEAPEST PRICE and AIRTIME @ 5%OFF
Check my signature A gift of gold is not expensive if you hire someone to steal it back. A gift of money is not appreciated in Zimbabwe where the money has no value. The gift of life has a price, just ask around on the darkweb. Blind people are also alive yet they can't See this light of day you talk about. Question: why are you so obsessed about evil people who are out to get ur eyes, ears and feet? Is this evidence of a paranoid delusion? Again, what's with the evil arrows? You have made me read all this stuff that has made me a little mad and I'm supposed to want buy mtn cards now, am I? Is this a good marketing strategy? Oh BTW, no ads on this channel |

xoftxoul: Errrm, paradigmshift was right. (Lemme add "subjective opinion" since that's the best new norm here lol) Third party apps may not run properly as the ones baked into the OS by the OEM when the ram is overloaded, third party apps are prone to failing easily no matter the integration by the app developer Lol follow come is better o. My opinion from lots of experience I suppose you're right  |

NCANCHAIR: Should I get the note 8 or Mi a3. I'm confused because I like the features of Mi a3 especially the AMOLED display and the battery strength but can't use the MIUI second space on it. Advice needed please my fellaz. Thanks Is second space really so important to you? If yes, get miA3. You can always do all the magic tricks and install miui on it, I assume |

paradigmshift: nice one but nothing like folow come...
i don't even use the ambient display in my mi9t cos i see no reason to use it self... You have not repented! You're still resisting ambient display, I see. It's helpful if you're someone who looks at their phone often to check the time. Also helps avoid pressing the thing everytime since the notification icon can be allowed on ambient screen. It's aesthetically pleasing too. As for the idea that "follow come" is better, dare I say that it's just not true. The new features miui just added to their ambient display had been present on lots of apps for several months. The same applies to many other apps; their authors are creative and their works often become integrated into the miuis and ios'es |

Reddington: Alright. It's over 2 days since I got myself immersed in Miui 11, and like I promised, I'm gonna do a review. That way, fam members who are still on Miui 10 or lower versions will get to know what they're missing or not missing.
For a start, Miui 11 is packed with some fresh and eye-catching features. Honestly it still beats me why some persons here opined that Miui 10 and Miui 11 are more or less same. I don't get it. Pls allow me to guide you through the new additions on Miui 11:
UI Design Perhaps, the most noticeable change on Miui 11 is the new material UI design. Although icons/UI look minimalistic, it's very bold, colorful, crisp and stylish. That of Miui 10 ain't bad to be fair, but it lacks the crispness of Miui 11. Miui 11 made major changes in the general looks of Rom's UI starting from the boot logo.
Effects. Another new stuff is the transitions effects - to be fair, it's quite pleasing to the eye and makes the whole Miui experience elegant and enjoyable. You notice these effects while opening/closing apps, navigating through settings and toggling the drop-down menu switches. Very sweet.
Screen time. Miui 11 is equipped with a very special feature called "screen time". Now, if you're on android 10, then there's a big chance you already know about this. "Screen time" is very similar to Google's "Digital Wellbeing" feature (I personally think Xiaomi copied this from Google). This new feature basically tracks your activities, giving you an alarmingly detailed info on how much time you spend on your phone (daily, weekly, monthly), the time is further narrowed to apps, giving you precisely how much time you spend on each app. It even lets you set daily screen time limits for apps, individually. That way, you can control your addiction to certain apps and focus on more relevant things. I think this's a fantastic feature. It's one of my favorites.
Font. Miui 11 also has a new font feature called "font weighting". It essentially helps you to adjust the boldness of your font without changing the individual font. Also, a new font (MilanPro) was introduced, and it's actually a nice font. Although it has a striking resemblance with Google's font, "Google Product Sans". Makes me wonder if Xiaomi got their inspiration from there..
Game Turbo. Quick Replies. Good news for gamers. With new major improvements, the Game Turbo feature is also available on Miui 11 under Settings - > special features. It optimizes the phone's ram & GPU and readies it for any game, ensuring optimal game performance. There is also a new feature called "quick replies" which helps you to conveniently send instant replies on supported apps.
Status Bar. Status bar icons such as network bars appears to have been reduced in size on Miui 11. Network Type symbols such as H+ or 4g now sits on top of the the network bars rather than the sides as the case was on Miui 10. Also, the 4g symbol disappears when you turn off the data (creating space for more icons) and reappears when data is turned on. This wasn't the case with Miui 10.
Battery. The battery performance on Miui 11, in my opinion, is better than that of Miui 10. No lies - I was able to squeeze out a couple more minutes (somewhat 40 - 55 mins). I use RN5 pro - so it's very possible that the performance may vary a cross other models. Thus, this is not definite.
To spare you some time reading this annoyingly long post, there're some other noteworthy additions to Miui 11 which I'm not gonna explain further. They include:
* Improved Calculator (calculator now supports picture-in-picture feature) * Drop-down menu toggle button for Dark mode. * New dynamic sound effects. * Blur app preview (let's you blur apps on the "recent" menu) * MiShare (Similar to Apple's Airdrop. For sharing apps/files seamlessly) * Improved file manager (I still prefer the file manager in Miui 10 tho) * Ambient Display (Doesn't work as I use RN5 pro)
Not sure if I'm missing anything, but this's all I noticed. The display colour I complained about on Pie is still there, but there is a slight improvement. TBH, with all the features on Miui 11, I'm not sure I'll be moving back to 10. It's just too much to ignore.  The guys complaining about Miui 11, especially the ones planning do downgrade, I wonder if they're aware of all these features or simply chose to ignore them. Miui 11 is a masterpiece and it should be forward ever, backward never. It can only get better. Huge thanks to Xiaomi & to whoever came up with the idea of opening this thread. I bless the day left Sammy for Xiaomi. So nice if you to take the time... Quick input: miui11 is not a masterpiece. It's good but it's only about half a step beyond miui10 |

Same happened to me few weeks back only that I installed an unsupported theme on mine so it kept on rebooting and rebooting. I can confirm that I've experienced the same thing after installing a theme. It wasn't funny but the force boot thing worked |

genius43: You said the Camera Sony IMX 586 48Mp Sensor is not sharp sorry you still have a lot of work to do.
ItyP and DlawTECHY is it not the same A3 you reviewed here?
And it is pronounced Me(Mi) and not M I.
You also need to improve on tech knowledge if you want to be a tech reviewer.
Have you seen a phone with that style of notch(See Drop or Water Drop) with a selfie flash?
When last did you even get selfie flash on a flagship camera?
Your photography skills need sharpening.
Even Indians that complain of everything don't complain of Mi A3 Main Camera Sensor.
GCam even dey to help if you no Sabi snap picture.
Your review was appalling and lacked depth.
My apologies if you feel offended but that is the plain truth I initially thought this comment was too harsh but when I watched the video... Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha |
