Good morning house,pls which is a better device in terms of real life usage between redmi 10a and redmi12c.My focus is a decent camera + (for daytime shots)and long lasting battery.

How decent do you want the camera to be cuz both phones aren't known for their camera decency but Redmi 12c edges it.

Redmi 10 is different from Redmi Note 10.

Take note, they're not the same thing. There's even 2 Redmi 10. Redmi 10 (original) and Redmi 10 (2022).

Sorry to deviate a little chief.

In the real world sense, does geekbench score matters and should one really pay mind to it when choosing a device?

I saw a Mediatek Dimensity 9000 slightly outperform a Snapdragon 8 gen 1, on on hands comparison but the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 has the higher geekbench score? What's your take?

There is a reason why there is never any sensible discourse on this thread...rather it is either arguments or bashing

Even if someone brings a topic, people will ignore it and look for how to derail it

If I brought this same post on Reddit...the difference is that redditors will focus on the Crux of the post and the endings I suggested

Lmaoo man's talking about sensible "discourse". How many of said sensible "discourse" have you brought on here? 90% of your "Sensible discourse" is on how "AOT" is mirroring a Nazi propaganda or how "AOT" is the modern "poster boy" of "Peak fiction" or any AOT related BS every 3 market days. Is that what you call "Sensible discourse"? How has time to be bickering, going back and forth on one show for days with you where it clear you have a strong bais towards the show and so any hope of a sensible, logical discourse about it with you is totally out of the window.

I didn't focus on your "alternative ending" because you actually made a point, so i was trying to focus on the part you were saying rubbish, nip it at the bud before it spreads.

Reddit ni, Reddit ko......If Reddit is where you and your entire clan of said "intellectuals" have intelligent discourse, why not go be there and stop posting on here, instead of whinging and disturbing us on here?

I know HOTD is a prequel...
But I believe several sequels have been announced including the John Snow one...
And I'm sure several more will be announced

several sequels announced where?? Straight up capping my man. Even HBO hasn't even fully officially confirmed the Jon Snow Sequel.

Something I noticed with the Game of Thrones ending was it's problem was not the idea but the execution.

Daenerys running mad with revenge and wiping out the civilians with her dragons could have been handled way better. There were always hints that she could spark and it's not the first time she's doing similar things.

The problem however was the way it was executed. Because soliders killed her dragon and her friend/surbordinate, she chose to wipe out the city.
She was supposed to understand that these people do not know her...they're not just going to accept a foreign invader from nowhere just cos she has bloodline linkage and she came with dragons

The writers didn't do enough to make her act that way, there were subtle hints but too subtle. They should have really focused on how her emotions led her astray...and how the civilians in the city took a part in it...
Not as justification but to make her actions make more sense

And the terrible handling of the Whitewalkers... they handled the whitewalkers like mere pests to be weeded out in 1 episode...after wasting 8 seasons building them up

Another possible conclusion is this...:

They could have fought for the throne first while the whitewalkers invade and take over the North. Then the whitewalkers spread out and come for other lands including kingslanding while they're in the midst of a seige on it

That way, the humans realize their quest and greed for power instead of uniting has led to their doom...
Cersei especially realizes it...

Then the Whitewalkers take out almost all of humanity before through self-sacrifice, they manage to kill the Night King...

That way they save what is left of humanity but with almost every character in the show dying

But of course they would never do this, because they wanted to milk on sequels..like we're seeing them do already...

They didn't want to kill most of the characters cos they need characters for sequels to milk the franchise

At bolded.. are you fking for real? The only material out of the GOT lore since it ended , has been HOD which is infact a prequel with no mention of Characters from GOT and could easily standalone without the GOT series itself, so your theory is way way off.

The only series that has even been planned as an off shoot of GOT, is a series about Jon Snow which hasn't been green lit yet!.

I'm not forgetting what you're saying...

My point is that AI is not human, AI does not have human emotions...
Because of this, AI can only try to mimic...but cannot replicate it

Dey Play. The key thing about AI, is that it is advancing by the minute, things it is capable of today were unimaginable six months ago.

"Emotional AI" has even been a thing since the 90's with active research and development....thing to get with the programme harmano!

A.I is definitely coming after everything as we know it. As a programmer, I'm scared sh.itless. It just a matter of time and many would be disposed of their jobs no thanks to A.I.

And in years to come, i see A.I taking over the movie world. It would not only write jaw dropping movie scripts but also direct and probably generate movie scenes, actors and even create CGI by itself. A lot of actors, directors and programmers would be shown the door.

The only saving grace is that A.I still needs human input, if it becomes self aware and performs tasks on a whim, then we might have a massive problem on our hands.

What ChatGPT has done is child's play compared to what Microsoft and Google are cooking with Bing and Bard, Man. They took ChatGPT source code and made it massively better, Google's Bard preview involves it, going through your Gmail and replying the once that need response with a reply!. Still in Beta stage, if it gets to public release....total chaos. The COVID pandemic lockdown has put ideas in owners of tech companies that you don't need 100 programmers in a room to perform tasks, with the way A.I is going, they might not need programmers at all!.

Saw on MKBHD page last week, where lyrics were fed to an A.I and the bloody A.I sang those lyrics in Jay-Z's voice!.... definitely fooled me to thinking it was actually HOV singing 😩...scary...scary...times ahead.

never seen a tech develop so rapidly as A.I. has done in a few short months, i mean, A.Is are designing complex mechanical models in matter of minutes, what has taken product and design engineers, months and even years to do.

I hoping sci fi movies over the years are wrong, but if these things somehow becomes self aware, it is finished, it's a wrap on humanity because no matter how intelligent humans are, thiers an innate stupidity that clouds right thinking.😩

My only issue now is that the screen sometimes presses itself, as in, trying to open an app but another app gets opened instead or another letter letter being pressed when typing. Pls your input will be appreciated in solving this issue.

This is "Ghost touch" and numerous things can cause this and i just re-up on your comment that you recently fixed the screen so that's the likely culprit, so take it back to the person that fixed it for checks.

UPDATE
After my redmi9t shut down (deadboot) yesterday, I decided to drain the battery 🔋 by pressing down the power button and using a rubber band to hold it in place. I left it like that for several hours. I could tell the battery was really draining cuz the phone was mildly warm as it would when in use for an extended period.
I woke up at 2:30am, removed the band I used to hold down the power button and tried to power up the device, lo and behold the phone powered up and started running the update.
My redmi9t is now up and running.

The thing is the deadboot is most certainly likely to happen again, for you are still under warranty, i will advice you take it to Raya Care for a fix, and if not, follow the numerous tutorials on YT on how to solve it to save you the hassle.

Redmi Note 12 series launched with 4 phones yesterday

RN12 4G, RN12S, RN12 Pro and RN12 Pro+

However these are not the phones that you're expecting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzuWfaPJHR8

First of kudos. The video was insightful.

But hear me out, I do think Smartphone designs have peaked or "plateaued" over the past few years, Take the flaghips for example, OEM have very little to tweak as per innovations, and it's basically the cameras they are on about and maybe slightly faster SOC, each year, as 120Hz LTPO display, Faster Charge, etc have become standard, Iphone had to even introduce the "Dynamic Island" which isn't much of a Deal breaker btw to make things interesting.

My point being, it's the "Mid range" devices that are suffering the most, cuz I don't think OEM can tweak the specs more than they currently are and still keep the "prices" mid range. This is not only particular to Xiaomi, as Samsung Mid range for the past few years now, have been basically similar with little differences, A12,A13, and A14 are basically the same. The Exynos chip on the A14 might be faster than that of the A13, but in real life figures, they might perform about just the same and handle similar task albeit with the A14 costing more.

You might also throw in argument that other regions get better Xiaomi mid range with slightly better specs, but don't forget that those countries aren't the "poverty HQ of the world" with people living under 2$ a day, I am sure if you compare the "Mid Range" prices from other regions they will be well above what the one's released for this region, are selling for, i might be wrong tho.

Speaking as someone who has observed the phone market in Nigeria for the past 3 years, i don't think anyone is buying the Note version series for "wow performances", as for the Pro versions, they can't tweak anymore for it still remain at price point and they can't just discontinue the "Note Pro" line, and that's why the Note 10 pro is probably still in production and available to at least give one a better choice around that price point, I don't see them doing anything dramatically different with that line in the immediate future.

As for the Redmi note 12, it is an "Upgrade" on the Redmi note 11, 6.67 inch screen as compared to the Redmi note 11's 6.4 inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate as compared to the 90Hz refresh rate of the Redmi note 11. MIUI 14 and A13 out of the box, so is guaranteed at least 2 major OS update whilst the Note 11 will come full cycle with it's OS upgrade when it gets A13 and the final kicker is that is at less price currently as opposed to the Redmi Note 11. In a direct comparison with the Samsung's A14, it has an AMOLED screen as compared to A14's PLS, faster charge, 120Hz refresh rate etc, and still costing less.

That's my 2 cent.

Scarlett Johannson's loss. Ryan Reynolds is the muthafvcking price.

Pvssy with a pretty face is pretty cheap to get these days.

He's Handsome ✔️ Funny ✔️ & a Billionaire ✔️

He also co-owns Wrexham AFC football club.

"Men are the prize" is the favourite line of "men" with zero clout and self awareness to bag even his local baddies.

You are clearly the "men", George Orwell had in mind when he said "all men are not equal".

So stop projecting your insecurities and leave Ryan Reynolds to fight his battles.

As I sit here, still reeling from the excitement of watching Iron Man 2, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The second installment in the Iron Man franchise was nothing short of amazing.

From the opening scene to the closing credits, the film was a non-stop thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. Robert Downey Jr. once again gave an outstanding performance as the suave and charismatic Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.

The film had everything you could want in a superhero movie: action, drama, humor, and heart. The action sequences were breathtaking, with Iron Man taking on multiple foes at once, using his advanced technology to outsmart and outmaneuver his enemies.

But what really set Iron Man 2 apart from other superhero movies was its emphasis on character development. We see Tony Stark struggling with personal demons and facing the consequences of his actions. His relationship with Pepper Potts, played by the talented Gwyneth Paltrow, also deepens and becomes more complicated.

The addition of new characters, such as the villainous Ivan Vanko, played by Mickey Rourke, and the mysterious Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, also added new layers to the story and kept me guessing.

Overall, Iron Man 2 was an amazing film that lived up to the hype and surpassed my expectations. I can't wait to see what adventures Tony Stark will embark on in future installments of the franchise.

I like how you've been living on a rock..Happy New Year.spoiler alert.... there's a major pandemic circa 2020 that almost wiped out the world 🙃🙃

Since the point seems to be flying over your head, let me break it down, We now know that you have a weird "Attack on Titan" fetish but please it is time to give it a rest undecided

. You don't see people spamming with pics or related media of TLOU like you do with "Attack on Titan" related content. Moderately talking about it here is okay, but you are at the border line of turning this thread into a "AOT" thread undecided

. It becomes tiring and plain right annoying, more so to the fact that, there isn't a TLOU dedicated thread, but there's an "Anime Thread" for this purpose but you still choose to bring your fetish here undecided

UBA sent an otp to you, because you registered your BVN at UBA bank and all your financial transactions are connected to your BVN.

The same thing is applicable to other people that did their bvn in other bank be it Firstbank, Access bank, GTB, etc

Hope you understand me. Now for limit exceeded, contact your Visual Dollar card issuer i.e Chipper Cash or Klasha customer care.

I have never stepped foot inside any UBA branch. One of the banks on my blacklist. So your theory is totally wrong.

I'm seeing limit exceeded using klasha virtual dollar card which is unusual as they claimed one can used it for unlimited online purchase. 3$ purchase on aliexpress failed despited having more than 10$ in the dollar card. They even sent otp from UBA to do verification and still the transaction failed. Allocated account to my klasha wallet is virtual wema account, but otp came from UBA. I don't understand all these nonsense.

Seems UBA provides the "virtual dollar card" services for most of these fintechs cuz even using Chipper, it's UBA that sends the OTP. It is even less headache to find referees and open a dom account at this point.

It's like you have a gay topic radar cuz you are always on here spamming the entire NL with gay agenda undecided

. We get it, you lot want acceptance but you are going about it in quite a disturbing and annoying way. Shoving gay content deliberately and unnecessarily in media these days is thing whether you choose to admit it or not. People can't accept your kind over night as a norm and i believe you know why, it will take time, but in the meantime, the world won't revolve around your kind, there are far bigger problems in the world at the moment. Your kind makes it even more difficult to accept you, because accepting it means accepting other deprivations like trans-able, people who identify as animals etc, this borders on mental illness tbh, and if we accept every one of you, there might not be enough nut house to hold all of you in the coming years.

Saying this with all sincerity, i am liberal as they come, as i believe the world is already filled with so much pain and troubles and whatever life choices one chooses (or born with) to ease the pain is fine by me as long as it is not weaponized and spoon fed into acceptance but brother/sister, hoping i am not misgendering you here, you have to chill with the gay talk every 5 seconds.😩😩

So, let me get this straight. Being woke means searching for any form of LGBTQ content in movies even if imagined? It doesn’t entail wondering why Hollywood keeps retelling slave stories using the biggest black names possible? It sure doesn’t mean demanding why African American actors lose indigenous roles to black people of other nationalities. How about the mixed race character being the only black representation in a movie? I guess I’m doing it wrong when focusing on aspects past LGBTQ.

People the world over are celebrating the box office success of Avatar: TWOW, meanwhile knuckleheads on Nairaland are busy asking if there are any gay scenes. WTF. It’s not like you people will watch it in cinemas anyway, na your tiny phone screen you go use view the pirate version. I predicted this since January last year — I am yet to be disappointed. This is 2023, poverty still has you children in a vice grip?!

Sha, if this is what being woke is about, I’ll remain asleep or whatever opposite there is to the mindset.

Xiaomi will custom build a particular "MIUI 13 based on Android 12" for say RN 10 pro and build another version of the same OS tailor made for say Mi 11 Ultra? and as these different sets of the same OS are built, that's when they are pushed out?

It is because you have not used a phone with a very good battery before that is why you feel 3% is insignificant.

That 3% can last for a whole day on an infinix device if you don't touch it. I have left my infinix on 8% from morning till night before without dropping. I have Also used 5% to listen to music for almost 3hrs before it went down to 2%. I was shocked and highly impressed that day. (Hot 5)

But you see this Redmi, even 20% cannot guarantee me a full day even if all I do is to check the time occasionally.

One thing I have Also noticed on this Redmi, is that when it goes OFF due to low battery, it doesn't display any logo. It will just trip off. And sometimes it can trip at 3% or 2%. The first time I experienced it, I thought it was a fault.

All the phones I have used before doesn't behave like this. My former infinix and current Samsung will always get to 1% and stay for a while before displaying the infinix/Samsung logo and then go OFF.

Man...I admire the energy you put into this your charade, wrong use of energy tho cuz you are clearly obtuse 100% of the time. How is it you spend more time on a product thread you claim to hate? Just become an Infinix marketer at this point, so that you make some money at least so that you are not just ranting and whingeing for nothing.
