That's the only thing that get bad on chargers

I stated that I do those for fun and its not only the capacitors, the resistors and transformers can burn out.

If this is true, then we are getting serious.
Nigeria is to take delivery of a batch of three JF-17 and its full compliment of weapons in November, as China announced it is ramping up production of JF-17 fighter. The Aviation Industry Corporation of China has reduced the production span of a single aircraft by up to 15 days https:///7hLWHgS0hf

iQOO has a very important role in VIVO’s dual-brand strategy. As you know, all major Chinese smartphone makers have their sub-brands: Huawei has Honor; Xiaomi has Redmi; OPPO has Realme; VIVO has iQOO. This helps the manufacturers run various strategies and target various groups of customers. In this regard, iQOO has been always known for its great price-over-performance ratio. Thus, it’s the direct rival to Redmi. Today, VIVO’s sub-brand quietly announced a new handset in face of the iQOO U1. It is powered by the Snapdragon 720G new-gen chip. So, there is every reason to think this handset will compete with the Redmi Note 9.

Screen

As for other features, the iQOO U1 uses a 6.53-inch hole-punch screen. Its screen-to-body ratio is 90.72%. So, there is every reason to think we are dealing with a true full-screen handset. The body thickness is 8.46mm, and it’s very comfortable to hold in hand. The power button on the side also carries a fingerprint recognition module. By the way, this is already a very common practice for smartphones from this range.


Hardware

As said, under the hood, it comes with the Snapdragon 720G processor. Compared with the Snapdragon 712, the CPU performance is increased by 23% and the GPU is increased by 15%. We also know that the iQOO U1 comes with an UFS 2.1 storage and a LPDDR4X memory. There are several variants of storage combinations. But the top version comes with an 8GB of RAM and a 128GB storage.

The iQOO U1 smartphone has a 4500mAh battery, which supports an 18W charging. There was a time when such a charging speed was considered as fast charging. But on the background of the current fast charging technologies of OPPO and VIVO, it can’t be regarded as a fast charging Anymore. Anyways, there is an 18W flash charger included in the box.

Appearance

The iQOO U1 adopts a streamlined one-piece body. There are also three color variants to choose from – secret black, sunny frost white, and star blue.

Camera

On the back, this handset carries a 48MP AI ultra-clear main camera. There are also a 2MP 4cm macro lens and a 2MP portrait depth-of-field lens.

Price

As said above, the iQOO U1 has a few variants: the 6GB+64GB version costs 1198 yuan ($171) (66,263 naira); the 6GB+128GB is at 1398 yuan ($200)(77,500 naira); the 8GB+128GB comes at 1598 yuan ($228)(88,350 naira). Pre-sales on all platforms have started today. And they will go on sale on July 23.

[color=#0000ff]Apply petrol at the clip lines and it'll open after some minutes. This thing you guys are talking about, be careful o. Though I've seen peeps doing it and even repairing the Energy saver bulbs but ehn..... [/color]

Mostly I do it for fun to see how good I can be, I already have another phone so can't use it again.

You mean this guy

I just read about him now, its a pity.

You don't expect them to post pics of a deceased Female Fg Offr. It's not only disrespectful to her, it's also disrespectful to the family. The person that hit her has been detained by the NAF investigations are still going on.

Nawa ooo, to do good things for this country na problem oo

genius43:
ZMI, Baseus, Celbro and floveme as well as Topk are good products.

I have been using Celbro for over a year.

ZMI are the ones making the chargers that come with your phone.

Serious, if that is the case, no need stressing himself because sometimes no be only capacitor dey burn for that thing. The transformers sometimes sometimes burn and if he is not tech, that will be very hard.

fibonacci2526:
What are you saying now? So you think most people use their follow come chargers to charge their phones? Get a quality charger from reliable brand biko. lolll.

He is correct sis, I've done it before, infact one of the reasons I still have my 6 pro charger of 2 years is cos I want to do same to it but it is how to open it that is the problem. The charger still charges but it now has palawa and its not fast again.

Vaselinelord:
yes the xiaomi mi watch

That watch looks useless I swear https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_watch-ampp-9941.php

Mustack:
If you can look for a good electricians in your area to change the capacitor inside the charger will be good rather than buying. Beg him to help you out . This will be better than buying bcus you can't get that original type again except you buy from original store.

That is the only ideal thing to do for now if he is to have an original follow come charger cos it is very hard to have that follow come charger come by but he can buy alternatives but he shouldn't expect same performance and longitivity. , I did it when i had one original nec charger but you see this new chargers have no screws to unscrew and are very hard to open except breaking them, I've noticed that most chargers burning is just the capacitors cracking.

I hope what this indian guy is talking about miui 12 is not true cos en no go make sense that our high hopes and expectations are dashed like this.

Come ooo, I hope this is not true?

it might n out apply to the military! The military would always need to have an age cap to get fresh and young officers in! You think the military will take a 35 year old man for Ssc?

But it use to be 35 for dssc before it became 32

If this news is real, https://www.nairaland.com/5994563/senate-wants-age-limits-scrapped
Then, it might be our time cos I can't falsify my age and live with such lie all through my life especially in a job where I may lose my life.

skywalker240:
This is lovely

Does it mean that one day, we will have invisible chips after we surpass the 1nm cos I don't know what could be smaller than that.

xoftxoul:
Very very educative.

Thanks boss, contributing my quota to the xiaomi family.

wayne4loan:
I just need a device with great spec, budget should be below 100k

I will refer you to this page to make your choice but I'll advise you to go for redmi note 9 s, the 6gb ram and 128gb rom.
https://www.nairaland.com/3880817/xiaomi-thread-store/642
Am saying it with confidence because am using its sibling the redmi note 9 pro which I would have recommended but because of your budget.
If incase you wouldn't mind a good mediatek device, go for redmi note 8 pro. Both are powerful beast.

For good, fast and consistent delivery service that you'll have a rest of mind with happiness, I'll recommend you contact nurex01 as he was the one I bought from that is why I can vouch for him with confidence. If you need to reach him, contact him using this number Call/WhatsApp:08079756572

wayne4loan:
Please guys, recommend a new xiaomi device for me, a need one asap

You should state your budget.

A research conducted by an investment bank has given us a roadmap of upcoming Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets along with some interesting details.

According to the finding shared by a Weibo user Qualcomm is looking to release the Snapdragon 865's successor - the Snapdragon 875G sometime in Q1 next year. It will be based on Samsung's 5nm EUV process, although initial rumors said that TSMC will once again be manufacturing the silicon.

Qualcomm is expected to quickly follow that up with the launch of the mid-range Snapdragon 735G chipset based on the same 5nm EUV process. An entry level Snapdragon 435G chipset will debut at about the same time.


MediaTek also has some good things in the pipeline. In Q3 this year we should be seeing the Dimensity 600 based on a 7nm process, but we knew that already. More interestingly the Dimensity 400 is expected around the turn of the year. It's listed as a 6nm chipset, but we guess that means it will combine 7nm and 5nm elements.

Finally there's a 5G-enabled 5nm flagship SoC coming by MediaTek in Q2 2021.

For years, the myth has persisted that plugging your smartphone in to charge while you sleep will harm the phone's battery. Though many people do it anyway, others warn that charging a phone that is already fully charged will waste its battery's capacity.

But while those fears may have made sense with the batteries of years ago, they're overblown today.

"Having your phone plugged in at night doesn't diminish the battery," says Kyle Wiens, the head of iFixit, a California company known for its repair guides and "teardowns" of consumer gadgets. "It's all about cycle count.

Smartphones rely on lithium-ion batteries. Battery cells have two electrodes, one electrode is graphite and the other is lithium cobalt oxide, and there’s a liquid electrolyte in between which allows the lithium ions to move between the electrodes. When you charge they go from positive (lithium cobalt oxide) to negative (graphite), and when you discharge they move in the opposite direction.

Batteries are typically rated in cycles, the cycle count is the number of full charges a smartphone can deal with before its battery is significantly degraded. For example, the iPhone battery is supposed to retain 80% of its original capacity after 500 complete cycles. A charge cycle is simply defined as using up 100% of your battery’s capacity, though not necessarily in one go from 100 to zero; it could be that you use 60% one day, then charge your phone up overnight, and then use another 40% the next day to complete a cycle.

The typical smartphone battery will get about 400/500 charge cycles, which should help the device last at least a year and a half. It's not uncommon for some to last beyond that. That's about as long as many people keep their devices anyway. But leaving your phone in the charger overnight, even when it's fully charged, won't do much to change how frequently its battery runs through cycles, which are drained by simply using the phone.

"In terms of the gradual erosion of battery life, what must be understood is that phone batteries are constantly in a state of decay," a representative for the battery and charger accessories maker Anker says. "Sleeping with a phone charging overnight will make no noticeable difference in the process."
Degradation occurs over time, and eventually, batteries will fail to hold a charge, but how quickly a battery degrades depends on several factors. You can minimize degradation by treating your battery right.
With the right software, charger, and charging method, you can easily optimize your device’s battery life.

What impacts a battery’s lifespan?

“The lifetime is very much dependent on the resistance or impedance growth inside the battery,” Yang Shao-Horn, W. M. Keck Professor of Energy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told Digital Trends. “Keeping the battery fully charged essentially increases the rate of some of the parasitic reactions, which translates to potentially high impedance and greater impedance growth over time.”

The same is true of fully discharging your battery. Essentially, it speeds up the reactions inside, which makes it degrade faster. But fully charging or discharging your battery is far from the only thing to consider.

“There are so many other factors influencing the cycle life,” Shao-Horn said. “If you increase the temperature, for example, you also increase the parasitic reaction rates.”

Too much heat is a major problem because overheating can cause the liquid electrolyte to break down and speed up degradation. You should try to keep your smartphone cool whenever possible, so never leave it on the dashboard in a hot car. It’s also a bad idea to use your phone while it’s charging because it will increase the heat generated. If you are going to charge overnight, then consider switching your phone off before plugging it in to reduce the stress on the battery.

Another factor that could potentially have a negative impact on battery lifespan is the speed of charging. There are a lot of different fast-charging standards now, but there may be a cost for the convenience of fast charging. “Generally speaking, if we increase charging speed and go faster and faster with charging it will reduce the lifetime of batteries,” Shao-Horn said. Though, she said this is likely more of an issue for electric vehicles and hybrids, which require far more power than phones.

“You won’t be able to overcharge or over-discharge a cell,” Daniel Abraham, senior scientist at the Argonne Laboratory, told Digital Trends for a previous article about the impact of wireless charging on battery health.

This idea of fully charging or discharging your smartphone battery is complicated by the fact that manufacturers set the cut off points. They decide what fully charged or empty means and they carefully control how far you can charge or drain your battery. While modern mobile devices are equipped with the ability to not overcharge or overheat, there is a downside to leaving your phone connected to your charger for too long.

Avoiding ‘Trickle Charges’, as most modern phones are equipped with lithium-ion batteries and charging capabilities that are more efficient than regular rechargeable batteries. This means that once they reach 100%, your charger will stop fueling your device. However, if you leave your phone charged overnight, the battery will start to discharge again and when it drops below a specific threshold set by the manufacturer it will charge back up resulting in trickle charges that ensures your phone stays at 100%, by so doing you are also prolonging the time that the battery is fully charged, which is potentially speeding up its degradation. How big an impact that has is very hard to quantify and it will differ from phone to phone because manufacturers handle power management differently and employ different hardware. Constantly charging your phone over the course of hours slowly reduces battery life capacity, so it's wise to avoid this practice as having a high voltage will stress the battery unnecessarily.

“The quality of the materials used makes a big difference to how long the battery lasts,” Abraham said. “You may end up getting what you pay for.”
You also shouldn’t wait until your device reaches 0% to charge because that can harm the battery. Also, consider replacing your phone every few years to avoid dealing with these issues. if you’re on a tight budget and can’t afford to buy a phone that frequently, the right charging practices can add mileage to your current phone.

Choose the Right Adapter and Charger
When shopping for a charger, you can learn a lot about how it will affect your phone based on the amp rating. Charging your phone as little as possible is going to result in the longest battery lifespan.
The ideal rating is 5.0V->1A, which refers to how quickly your phone will charge; higher amp ratings charge faster, while lower ones charge slower. With a 1A charger, your phone will charge at the optimal speed to help keep your battery life strong in the long term.

The general consensus is that you should aim to keep your smartphone battery between 20% and 80%, so a couple of tops up throughout the day are likely better for battery longevity than overnight charging. It may also be prudent to employ fast charging sparingly. A couple of good wireless chargers at home and work could be the ideal solution.

Get Performance-Enhancing Software
Finally, the right app can ensure that your phone fires on all cylinders. With some applications, you can monitor how your phones charge and know when to disconnect, some even can display your battery health and temperature.


While it’s not ideal if you want your battery to last as long as possible, you can leave your phone plugged into the charger overnight without too much risk, provided it’s not a counterfeit charger, and you don’t let your phone overheat. For best results with your smartphone charging, here’s what to remember:

1). Always use official chargers and cables, or certified alternatives from reputable brands and retailers.

2). Don’t let your phone get too hot. Remove the case when charging overnight.

3). For the longest battery life possible, try to keep your battery between 20% and 80%.

4). Avoid letting your phone battery completely discharge.

5). If you can’t turn your phone off while it charges, consider flight mode, or at the very least don’t play a graphically-demanding game while it’s plugged in.

6). Only use fast charging when it’s really needed.

pls a friend of mine asked me if Xiaomi does dis...'I don't know about Redmi Own yet. But Samsung own calculate your step, remind you of exercise, time to take drugs if one is sick, check bp, temperature, record weight, amount water you need at a pre day depending on the weather and so much more' he uses rn8 pro 6/128 variant global rom. pls any idea?

I think all those features are in mi health but if you want it to be flexible, you can purchase any of the mi bands and synchronise it with mi fit.
Mine reminds me to stand when I've sat for a very long time.

How is Xiaomi phones battery..?

Does it last long?

Very long its what xiaomi phone lasts but ask questions for the one you want to buy.
