Just stumbled on this...when am making plans to resign from my job by month end. The pay is actually very attractive almost 400k. But the work environment became very toxic after the employment of a new HR.
I pray God will provide another Job worth more than my previous work.

Only to see it come up!

I set it to 4G preferred sef. Didn't lock it.
The Smile guy sef promised me it wouldn't work on my phone. angry

Check your band support though. My phone has band 20.
Simple solution.
Am using my Ntel flawlessly on my RN7 but just know you have to re apply the steps if you restart your phone

1. Set your Ntel or smile to default SIM for internet
2. Put your phone on flight mode
2. Dail *#*#4636#*#*
3. Set the phone back to network mode then quickly select LTE (as fast as possible before network enters the phone)
4. Set back to flight mode then network mode.

You are good to go.

If you are not rocking this headphone with your RN7 then you are missing quality sound.
Sound is deep and the headphone is light with premium look
You can get in any MINISO outlet in Shoprite price is 5k

I guess the phone is still new to him, he has not played around the camera settings to get the best shot.

From the lady's picture, I guess he has not increased saturation from the default setting. He can set saturation to high or higher and he'll get a better shot.

Since he brought Samsung into this, check out the pix below. It was also taken in chicken republic
mind you the pictures were taken without settings. My turn off with Samsung is it unnecessary saturation to pictures

Check out ones I snapped with GCAM

Phones › Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by cortix(m):
I promise making a review of the Redmi N7.
So let's get it..

Have used the device for over 2 weeks and I must agree that the phone is dope based on my focus and needs i noted earlier for getting the phone. It might not be the best mid range phone out there but it's a cool phone.

SPEED : Am not a gamer, so this review is based on my own usage. I did a speed test with my LG G7 which is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor, and comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The phone really tried. Most apps loaded almost the same time and that's a big bonus point.

BATTERY LIFE: The battery life is okay tho as a heavy internet user. It's not really that cool but can be better with lot of optimization. Most times my Hotspot is always toggled on for 24hours and the phone lasted for a day with steady streaming and download.

Few steps to get the battery last longer:
Off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning.
Use dark mode
Turn off all ads service that comes by default in MIUI
Use a better launcher like Nova tongue
Reduce screen brightness.
With this you are good to go!

CAMERA:The camera is dope and can be doper with GCAM. Had crazy shoots with it and I swear the shots are better than my LG G7.
Tho night shots are not super compared to pictures taken during the day.

LOOK AND FEEL: The phone has a premium feel and look without a proper glance one will think it's an iPhone or one of Samsung high end device. The Gorilla Glass protecting the phone front and back gives a more premium and durable feel.

DURABILITY: Am very careless when it comes to handling device. The phone got it first fall from a makeup table almost 4 feet high. I concluded that screen has scattered before picking it up. But to my greatest surprise no sign or crack on any part of the device. The second fall was from a TV stand while the last heavy fall was very my reading table while trying to pick my headphone. I didn't know that it was connected to the phone. The head phone dragged the phone with the same speed I picked it. It landed on the tiles and while trying to pick up the phone it bounced back on the tiles again I almost cried for the phone embarassed but dam the phone is still neat with no visible scratch or even crack.

You can watch full durability test of the phone on YouTube. Just search Redmi N7 durability test by Jerryrigeverthing.

SOUND: The phone has a great sound. Am not expecting it to bounce like a home theater speaker or one of Zealot Bluetooth speakers. You will enjoy the sound with a Miniso head phone. One good thing it has internal sound customisation settings. Tho my old infinix device still have better sound because of the Dirac 3D sound enhancement.
But all the same I give it 4/5 since it's just a single powering speaker.

DISPLAY: The display is very decent both indoor and outdoor. Tho not as dope as an Amoled display but an Average user won't see anything bad with it or see that as a disadvantage. You can tweak the display to look better from the settings. The black theme gives me a bit feel of Amoled display grin especially when on the settings page. If you know you know

I think I have said alot.
From my experience so far I rate the phone 8/10

RN7 camera is dam cool. When I see people complain about camera I feel like to extend slap from my phone to them. I have handled Samsung mid range phones and I can boldly tell you that the camera is better.

I want to purchase a router (not the portable mifi) , I'll need your input on any reliable one
Budget is 30k

Preferably one with universal support, tying one down to one network nowadays makes one disadvantaged.

Support for ntel, spectranet, Glo, MTN, Airtel, 9mobile 4G networks.. (the most important are the first 3 though, but I can maybe exclude the Glo)

Bonus if it has backup battery.

Your contributions and advice/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Go for this you won't regret it!

Finally I got my RN7 delivered today. The phone is cool. Sound 4/5 (more clear when holding downward)
Display 4/5 ( compare to Samsung phones I have used)
Speed 5/5 ( Based on my usage. Am not a gamer)
Battery Life (I will update this later)
Other details are coming soon.

Had a few issues. It was hard getting the Google play service to respond. Incase you face this problem don't worry don't keep waiting for Google device check to respond because it won't. Just go online download latest Google play service install and it will work like magic.
