Never in a hurry to update but the 10.3.1 on the RN7 is good.

Alright thanks bro

Mykcool:
me sef na Samsung I dey use , but when I see good thing I dey talk true. I dey update my Samsung steadily, sometimes sef if I can't wait for the update to reach Nigeria I download another regions own and install.
Overall I'll say Xiaomi is a great product, you just have to take your time and choose which one suits you

alright bro

Mykcool:
oh lawd !!
You be serious case what phones have u used??
Updates are good , you just have to wait a bit and find out if the update pushed is good or not .

just Samsung.

Okay @ emboldened

Your first update would be large but subsequent updates wouldn't except if it is a major Android update(OS)

I am not a fan of doing a major update. I fear that thing like kilode. I want to unbox and start using a new phone like that. If I am to do a major update then it would be when the phone has stayed years then updating becomes necessary to key into a new os. Even at that I don't update because I've heard stories. I rather get a new phone.

For instance:

Kingpeter404:
abeg how person go solve that radio consumption pls I want to know I dey get the same problem here since my last update although my own better pass the guy own but the way the battery drains after the update it's unlike when I first unboxed
It

What do you think?

Please I just want to buy this phone and use it as it came out of the box. is that possible? I don't even want to change font et al.

[quote author=ElvisMcCoy post=78119354]That's inaccurate. Face unlock for 9ja came with the latest update. I just unboxed one some days ago. It had an update I updated, with the region set to Nigeria and there was face unlock...

I wouldn't say inaccurate unless you mean once I unbox, I'd be able to do the face unlock thingy without updating. But it is great to know there's an update available for that purpose.

Please how does one update? Does it require large data and a strong network or is it as simple as updating an app for instance?

RN7 unboxing by Eric

According to him, no face unlock when region is set to Nigeria. Good thing I don't do face unlock anyway. The review is impressive. Love the dark mode and the Ui feel in general.

He installed gcam and made comparisons.

candid advice needed:

for those of us who are not in lagos how do we go about getting redmi note 7 from May sixth?

do we order directly from jumia? can we go through jumia agents here in nairaland? I'm asking because I know it would be available in lagos (slot/mi) only.

I changed my mind. I'm opting for the Xiaomi redmi note 7!

OllyFair:
most of Xiaomi settings especially their mi cloud stuff is more like iCloud. Kudos to this brand

I see. Value for money

fibonacci2526:



So you finally jumped on the Xiaomi train, interesting

I didn't jump I flew. Rn7 or nada. I'm just going to wait till May 6. Please tell them to stock naija with enough global versions. I don't live in Lag but I know someone there. 58k is my budget please so I can purchase an earpiece.

zainkay:
I assumed you're not interested to do enough research before typing all those posts, you even made a reference of a post from here to bad-mouth the brand, That irked me the most, well you're forgiving

Join the endless queue of doubters now lovers.. Welcome to the family

Yeah, I used search engine for negative comments. Someone cleared it by saying the affected user dropped the phone into water. That settled it for me.

Glad to be part of the family

My worry is I feel there are limited units being shipped to naija. Even if it gets to slot will it be slot nationwide or slot lagos?

Is there hope for us?

[quote author=Osyxcel post=78069807][/quote]

it is finished. Confirmed machine. If it is compatible with lens how much more other selective apps. Quite appreciated bro

mindtricks:


My Biznus is no longer the same guy.
Can't you see he's now repented and his sins washed away?

Lol@ attached meme

I've started preaching xiaomi fa. Feed back I'm getting: redmi started the finger print thingy before others followed... that xiaomi is the iphone of some country like that... etc kai!

genius43:


It would be available on slot, pointek and even Jumia at the normal price on Monday 6th of May

I'd gladly wait. I'll check with slot for enquiries. Thanks guys

OllyFair:
Google lens is working with rn7 even the small r7 is compatible with this application. Check your playstore and install.

Osyxcel:


Google lens came with the last update.

Mckandre:
yea, redmi note 7 is compatible with Google lens

Please guys I'd appreciate a screen shot. If this is true then no going back on rn7

zainkay:
is this not the same guy comparing infinx s4 with RN7, it's funny how their hate for Xaiomi vanishes so fast

https://www.nairaland.com/5155308/please-infinix-s4-xiaomi-redmi

Yes... I AM. I pushed and got the desired responses. After Henree's unboxing review, I was impressed. I'm adding (subscribing) Henree to the list. Though I learned therefrom that rn7 doesn't come with earpiece but no props. I am a very objective person. Everything I did was targeted to elicit a desired result. Also someone practically uploaded screen shots of the rn7 icon though it was the PRO VERSION.

Hey guys...Please two requests:

Those with the rn7 kindly try to install the Google lens app. It is not compatible with many phones even with oreo android 8.1. It would be a big plus if Google lens is compatible with rn7.

Secondly, my budget is 50k. I'm willing to sacrifice 8k. but what I see here is 68k. Please when will slot start selling @58k?

Mykcool:
you picked on the only negative review , thats quite unfair . There have been more positive reviews than negative ones.

EXACTLY! You're making my points for me.

Mykcool:
the guy didn't buy a fake phone, a screen protector was placed on it .
As for the issue of storage , there's one with 128gb , I'm quite sure a lot of people don't even have uptown that on their current phones (SD card + inbuilt storage combined)
For the UI, I personally don't like it but that's why there's a theme app to change to something different.
I don't use a xiaomi but I've recommended it to people, and they've been excited about their phones.

The guy saying something about sending phone from Delta to Lagos, you don't need to do that naa, Robinson plaza guys can handle this phone very well.

I like this response. Appreciated

mindtricks:


Rather wierd to call Xiaomi "upcoming".
Countless number of people using the Xiaomi phone which thread is number one on this forum, doesnt it say something to you?
Why will you worry about repairing a phone so ruggedly built like Xiaomi when you have not even started using it, you think it same same crappy quality as Infinix? Xiaomi hardly develops faults/require repairs which is common with Infinix please.

The poster deserves to have some truth and to enjoy which is good abeg.
Now that they entered naija, by the time Xiaomi finishes with all these so called local champions, sorry go be their name.

Flawed statement. The person who told me about infinix has used inifinix over a year without ish. Then check the attached screen shot below.

It all depends. Stop making lopsided points like a pre seller.

I genuinely wanted clear cut responses from xiaomi fans but with what I'm getting here kaiii...

Until xiaomi finally settles down here, your responses are reminiscent of nothing but MMM.

I'm back. interesting responses. Though disappointing. I don't just talk,I demonstrate. probably why they bethink me a paid inifinix seller. For the record, I'm a Samsung fan. But at a time after seeing what budget phones are offering for lesser cost, I became not only disappointed but angry. So I switched to budget phones and my first budget phone was inifinix note 5.

I'm considering buying a new phone for a lady. I was pleased with the specs of infinix S4. And then I saw the thread on xiaomi. That was my first time hearing xiaomi despite checking all outlets for choice phones. I was amazed at the recommendation on here nairaland. I became really interested in RN7... So I decided to check it out.

First I checked our usual Nigerian phone YouTubers: Eric, Fisayo and Misstechy but... nada; there's no review on xiaomi except for Misstechy's archive where she had one... but she said the phone is great but "IT IS NON OF MY BUSINESS" because it is not officially here in naija. Then I understood what the ish was. So I had to check out Indian YouTubers. That was when I saw the review I posted here.

1) A YouTuber also from gsmareana showed how its durability was demonstrated on YouTube by xiaomi guys using the RN7 screen to crack wall nuts. . but the phone reviewer in his own words said: "NOT SURE HOW THAT TRANSLATES TO REAL LIFE THOUGH". Yeah the funny thing is that no nairalander can demonstrate that durability live can they? Use your Rn7 screen to crack a walnut. No Indian YouTuber doing the unboxing review tried it. Hummm...

2) Personally I don't like the interface. The icons looking so somehow to me tbh. They need to up their game on that. Leaving Samsung ivex small for infinix interface but they are better in comparison with Xiaomi Rn7.
She won't be proud to flaunt that kain interface na. If you talk they will say snapdragon this durability that. She ain't a gamer. ladies love movies and pics. plus I attached a screen shot of a lady asking how she can get Rn7 screen already fa. So?

3) The sim tray. For what na. you know ladies like media: pics, movies... so if they are to put sd card then just one sim? why na?

4) I also had to check the dedicated xiaomi thread, I observed it is filled with xiaomi sellers. To get xiaomi now you have to patronise individuals. I wondered if that was the reason for the hype and plenty recommendations on Nairaland? I read a comment where one bought a fake. Very risky. I don't know how to function that way. patronizing individuals. All these discouraged me amongst other reasons. PDP won elections on Nairaland but how did that translate to real life?

Therefore, for me it is not enough that xiaomi has "launched in naija" they have to be well settled like other budget brands. So they're that good and they had to wait until now? Haba...

Finally, there's nothing as good as a healthy competition. It will help my pocket last last by forcing prices down.

So I demonstrated my reason for opting for Xs4 currently: availability accessibility clean sleek glossy etc Anyone who is to counter my demonstration must do so with convincing demonstration not ranting. Talking about people losing jobs is hilarious because it clearly betrays you as a xiaomi pre seller.

fibonacci2526:



Comparison is flawed, yes Xiaomi has launched in Nigeria and there is an outlet in CV.

explain clearly what you mean by launched vs registered. What do you mean by AN outlet? Where is CV? Is it everywhere? Why is the lady in the above attached screen shot asking for Rn7 screen to be SHIPPED fa from Ali...

RN7 about 58k
XS4 (32g variant) about 50k
R7 is cheaper forty something k.

I feel the lady with XS4 will feel flyer than the one with R7 considering the camera, glossy look and functionality even brand name. Hence I was contemplating between RN7 and XS4.

Regarding durability, it depends on the hand of the person handling the phone.


nb: xiaomi isn't registered in naija
Infinix is.

Meaning hard to find sales outlets thus the liklihood of purchasing fake in a xiaomi box exists. Just saying. Also if anything happens to your xiaomi, OYO is your case unlike infinix products.

So I decided to go for Xs4

XS4
no gorrila screen
