Xiaomi Redmi note 2 Update release

Stability update of over 900mb? Are they joking? When they'll release MIUI 7, that one will be 4GB

4peace:
Their phone sold in china don't come with gapps but one sold to India and other country that they have presence has gapps.

By the way gapps are easy app you can install.

And to your question
You can check the following link and also google for more research

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaomi
http://www.mi.com/index.html
http://www.mi.com/en/
http://en.miui.com/

Note:
1.Their phone never release for africa(you can only buy it online and OYO)
2.Xiaomi is not only manufacture phone but they actually Electronic company just like LG,Samsung.

What did you succeed in saying now?

KuliMart:
Xiaomi MIUI have two versions. China and Global ROM.

China miui doesn't come with Google play service because of Chinese government policy, while the global miui comes with Google service.

Somebody that bought from you said he didn't see Google apps, though he doesn't need them either but I use Google apps. Google now, earth, YouTube. and of course Gmail

Tallesty1:
Yes.

They don't come with Google apps but there's an application that you can use to install all core Google apps at one tap.

It will install Google framework, Google play services etc.

Even the one I am commenting with didn't come with Google apps but I use Google apps on it

Apart from the app u used to install then, is there a way to send them via sharemobile or maybe xender?

Tallesty1:
The claims are true.



I have used two of their phones, Mi3 and Mi4.


They're beasts.

Did you use Google apps on them? I read that they don't come with Google apps.

donbenie:
The Note 2 was brand new and so far the Redmi's battery has been holding its own against it.
The phone comes with Lollipop 5.0.2 with MIUI 6.6.7.0 out of the box.
I have not noticed Google Apps like Play Store, Google Now nor Gmail,though I normally preferred and have installed my own 3rd party App stores like 1mobile and Aptoide and there's also a Xiaomi Appstore too,there's an Email Client bundled in much like Gmail which has been serving me so far..

But they can be installed? the Google apps.

Defaramade:
What of Redmi 2??

I'm not sure if the guy we buy from has Redmi 2. You can visit Kulimart.com if you are interested and check what they have there.

Defaramade:
Well, haven't had one before, but from what I see on review sites & from individual user review, Xiaomi phones are very good & also affordable.

They are not really that affordable, none is less than 45k

BluePearls:
I don't know about Apple of China, but statistics claims they are doing very well in the market.

Yea they are.

Recently Chinese Phone manufacturers, Xiaomi have been on the news either with one new mid range or semi flagship or flagship device but anyhow they are always making something. The praises are going to high places for them, they are even nicknamed the Apple of China and now reports say they are the 3rd highest manufacturers globally falling only behind Apple and Samsung. However, they (Xiaomi) are the first in China.
How through are all these claims, is anybody here using a Xiaomi phone? Have they lived up to the hype?
Your turn now, bye bye.

Go get yourself a good Xiaomi or Lenovo phone. Brand new Samsung lags sef not to talk of used one.

Xiaomi is not the only company with Patent issues. Samsung, Apple, LG and others, they all have one patent issue one after another. Some Samsung phones were banned in America, at a time Samsung paid about 20 million dollars to Apple (can't really get the accurate figures), xiaomi banned in India from selling MTK phones, I read that somewhere but not with all the details. In all, patent issues is not peculiar to Xiaomi.
Thread closed, next topic pls.

ochuski:
all u ar saying is wat MTK can do...wat can QUALCOMM do?...by the way SONY M5 carries an MTK processor

There's also a variant of HTC M9 that has Mediatek Helio X10. As for Antutu score, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 rocking Mediatek Helio x10 scored 49000 + which is higher than most Qualcomm devices including LG G4 with Snapdragon 808

I received the phone from Kulimart/the guy is AUTHENTIC by the way)yesterday and have been putting it through its pace since then and my impression so far is as follows ;
PROS;
1.Form Factor :the phone looks nice physically,slim and elegant,my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 looks and feels like a Hulk besides it,the contrast of the red capacitive buttons against the black background looks exotic.
2.Screen:I especially love the screen,the FHD resolution looks sharp and crispy,contrast is great too..coming from a Galaxy Note 2 with Super AMOLED Screen,I love that it can be tweaked to look warm and vibrant like an AMOLED.
3.Battery:Am a heavy user,So far it's performing better than my Galaxy Note 2 ever did and that's good enough for me,the bundled charger is exceptionally fast too.
4.MIUI:The proprietary UI is also a breath of fresh air,it's buttery smooth and so far no hiccups detected,coming from a long line of Samsung's Touchwiz I prefers Xiaomi's simpler take on Android,even my favorite Launcher NOVA is on a cooler for now.
5. APPS:Not too much bloatware like Samsung and some of the bundled ones makes sense and are actually useful too,I especially love their ebook reader..yeah,I love me my ebooks..
CONS;
1.Poor Ram management:the MIUI seems to hog Ram,I had to free up extra Ram constantly,my main quip so far..
2.Nit picking,but the phone is a wee bit on the long side physically,compared to my Galaxy..
So far these have been my observations after a day of use,mostly PROS..am not much of a photo junkie but the camera looks decent to me too and as you can see on picture the focus is OK,I also noticed the phone doesn't seem to heat up much even while charging and using it at the same time..
Conclusion,for the money it's a great deal and no regrets on my part so far ..

This one caught me. you mean the battery is doing better than your Note 2 ever did? Did you buy your Note 2 brand new when u bought it?
2ndly are there Google apps installed like play store, Google now etc? and finally is it Lollipop 5.0 really? cos I've seen some YouTube videos say otherwise.

What I think is that the op just made this story up for us to laugh and I must say he achieved that but as for me to believe this happened? you have to come and show me the guy that sold the phonsoap to you.
As in the guy was being so nice to you and you didn't suspect him? To the extent he stopped bike for you before handing the phonsoap?

donbenie:
It was supposed to be shipped on Monday but ended up being shipped yesterday for logistic reasons,have no choice than to wait..

Hope you've received your phone? Come and give us your own user review na.

Is it true that Lenovo K3 Note is better than this phone? The battery and thinnes? Anyone?

basilica1:
yeah

Does the update appear owners' phones or you have to go their page and download?

chumakk:
what I know is that if you are thinking of your next meal you will not buy an iPhone. My point is that you don't need insult people using an iPhone because I know if you are using it...you will not. Let me not quote bible for you. But I want you to do this assignment: read all the parables of Jeaus and tell me how many things he mentioned money compared to other things.

I know a guy, a student that bought Samsung Galaxy S5 last year. He saved and saved and saved to buy the 110k phone then. His parents sent 15k monthly to him and he would save 10k out of it. Wasn't eating much, every extra money that came to him was saved for the phone until he eventually bought it. If he wanted an iPhone, couldn't he have bought it that same way and would that have made him a rich guy? Cos obviously he thought about the next meal always. We all know there are lots of peeps that save like that even today just to buy a big phone. Not forgetting there are people that patronize all those phone snatchers and that can make you own the most expensive phone at a very cheap prize.

JeffreyJamez:
Honestly speaking, they don't know anything.... that's why most of them are always quick to rubbish a device just by looking at the specs alone... Lol...bunch of Jokers.

When you talk about a person who is techy, the person knows how to solve any problem he/she might encounter technology-wise... be it a mobile phone or a computer no matter the OS the device is running. He/she knows what every component is used for, software and hardware -wise. They know the Pros and Cons of devices..... because one is able to root a phone or change IMEI or do cheats doesn't make them techy IMO

Gbam. You're there.

Lie Detector needed!!!
Some time ago, every chic I spoke to told me she was a model (in my mind I'll be like inukwa model). Now, the trending thing among our ladies and gentlemen is "I'm a techy guy" and after that you would want to hear some really techy stuff from the guy and he'll say just normal thing that every other person could've said. You see them spamming everywhere with their nuisance posts like: how to make a call, how to get 33k from MTN, how to sit down, how to tweak your phone etc, they write just anything and give you a link to their blogs. And those things are the same thing, they just copy and paste.
Yesterday a guy was talking about Glo now offering 1GB data at 1k and somebody asked him, wait for this, somebody asked him, "is the 1GB unlimited"? I shouted my gawd. Later on I saw this same guy on another thread saying he's a techy guy.
Some can tweak imei and get loads of free data to browse and consequently they think they're now a computer expert.
And finally today, one joker failing so hard to impress told me he's an IT student trained in the USA and he will trade his iPhone for Infinix Hot Note( which according to him is the best phone in the world), I was like so ur training in the USA is supposed to make me believe your thrash?
Many questions begging answers like can you trade your iPhone (tho he didn't mention the particular one) for Infinix Hot Note? does imei tweaking make you a techy guy? why is everybody claiming techy, is it the scopes in town now? have u ever wondered how techy these guys really are? do they even know what they are talking about?

nellyb24:
bro I think ur a bigger mumu.I dnt think u knw anytin about fones...as a trained I.t student in the usa I can tell u infinix hotnote is d best in its class...I just got one today and I would gladly trade it for my iphone yes my iphone

Get out of here goat. If I hear I.T student trained in the USA I should run? Do u know where I trained? Anu ofia. If u like train in the moon. U have no point. By the way who's talking about Infinix Hot Note or iPhone here? Did u even read the topic or the beginning of the thread or you're too quick to come and boast with your inferiority complex? U need to use the usa in order to be heard? Shame on you. Maybe you've been saving money since the launch of the phone to buy urs, now u don't want anybody to discourage you. You can trade it for your iPhone, trade it under what grounds? can you afford an iPhone as you are?
Shey I'll have to respond to every frog that croaks.

[quote author=therealesttin post=37803456][/quote]Heeeeiiiii....I'm shivering cos he can be abusive... Like I care? If I'm an illiterate in your small mind, I wonder what you are cos I'm sure as old as you are, you haven't attained half my educational level...so let's not even go there..punk.
U don't know me, u don't even know the phone I'm using whether it's a Nexus phone, whether it's Infinix Hot 2 and you're there shouting I haven't seen a Nexus b4 as if seeing a nexus is passport to heaven.
This guy you can be very bold at stupidity.

therealesttin:
Hey dont throw stones in a glass house, i can be abusive too....u wan hear word baaa?

Heeeeiiiii....I'm shivering cos he can be abusive... Like I care? If I'm an illiterate in your small mind, I wonder what you are cos I'm sure as old as you are, you haven't attained half my educational level...so let's not even go there..punk.

therealesttin:
Olodo rabata, ever heard of a google Nexus ? Obviously not. This Hot 2 is 79% a nexus save for the hardware, one of the most highly rated phones of all times and the Hot 2 OS is exactly same as that of Google Nexus. Make google ur friend if you dont have friends that can afford a Nexus so you can compare to the Hot 2 ok.

And where exactly did he mention Phone Makers? quote him, make bold and reply me if ur man enough, olodo.

79% Nexus as reported by who? You? And let's even assume it's 21% less nexus. So, it means Nexus devices come those basic things that your Hot 2 don't have. U are so dumb that you must wait for him to mention everything b4 you understand that there are clauses in a sentence that are in bracket, but u don't mention them out cos you're supposedly talking with a sensible person. Unless they become as senseless as you are, then they'll have to say everything one by one. Stay there and be deluding yourself that your Hot 2 is exactly like Nexus.

chumakk:
when I was poor I do make noise with my techno and say exactly what you are saying now but I'm using an iPhone.

Basically this guy is still a poor man albeit mentally. U think iphone is a sign of being rich and forgot the words of Jesus that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.
I recommend brain transplant for you to remove all these your mentality.
Who knows how you'll be carrying this your iPhone.

Andyblaze:

So is this supposed to be funny or what

Chiaka:
If we are frank! He said the truth.! so we should rather think to change the mentality by putting things right. Even revisiting the expatriate employment. All sort of persons come under the guise of expatriate whether they qualify or not. Have even seen fresh school leavers been employed as expatriate some people with little or no work experience in the area they are manning are also employed expatriate, all sort of abnormalities happen here!

Baby you hit the nail right in the head.

therealesttin:
Hahahahahahahaha...........very funny. Just ask and you will know how to:
Simply download ES explorer my friend, and come back to tell us when you can change the ringtone afterwards.

Somebody just said there was no provision (by the phone makers) for change of ring tone and you're here telling him about ES explorer. If you'll need a 3rd party to carry out a function as basic as changing ringtone, I wonder what you can actually do with the phone.
Maybe I'll create another thread, "What exactly do owners of Infinix Hot 2 do with it'?

therealesttin:
Yes the same way u observed people were selling their LG G3 too.....grow up man.

Yea I did observe that too or am I entitled to only one observation in a year? I can observe 10 things in a day if I so wish. You that have grown up, I wish u'll still grow some more cos I can't see any difference btw u and those that haven't grown.

therealesttin:
Family and friends of urs....

Fowl.

oganology33:
sounding as if Glo is doing is a huge favour. only 1gb 4 as much as 1k. do u tink 1k is Bobo juice

Well, you may not consider it a favour but check other networks what they offer at 1k. MTN and Etisalat give 260mb at this price. Airtel claims to be giving 1GB at 1k also but after their dubious charges you'll be left with roughly 600mb, so yes in that aspect Glo has tried, they've set the pace let others follow suit.
