Lovexme:
So, I bought the Mi 9T for my boss. Apparently, all colours are available and I got the Glacier Blue. Wish I could swap mine for the Glacier Blue

I bought it for 117k.

Thanks to Mr. Noobody for the power bank 3.

hw much is de mi power bank 3 ?

mykelshowz:
.. Wait o people still buy phones based on antutu scores instead dof user review.. Lmaoooo well Bleep me. Hahahahahahaha

swears it sucks
user experience 1st! sd730 is more dan ok for upper mid-range
buh it's good let the competition get more interesting

olayinkajnr:


It might be better. Not disputing that, but one key issue MTK have yet to sort out with all their chipsets is heat. Due to the process of manufacturing it. And it's a fact that as a device gets heated, it tends to lag.

Also, don't get your hopes high, remember when Mediatek launched all those Helio X chipsets? The one with decacores processors. The Helio X30s and the likes? They were built to power flagship devices but how many flagship devices has them?

It flopped.

baba no be antut score be de coco ..there antutu score is slightly better than sd730 self mitchew

mykelshowz:
its still mtk = heats and lags

baba last last sd730 go better pass kirin and dis socs for gaming

chrisja:
Is the Mi 9T (6gb/128gb) that much of a difference in performance against Redmi Note 7 Pro (6gb/128gb)? I know of the selfie camera, design and SDG difference. My interest is the overall day to day usage, which offers more value for money?

bro to be sincere
the mi9t is better in every aspect
screen, battery life, socs, camera etc
and cost more
it all depends on ur budget
if u cn get the mi9t it's a better buy anyday anytime
dat doesn't mean rn7pro is bad
it's a nice phone
buh level pass level!

atheistandproud:
Gcam

which phone

Gptech:

I agree with you on the 'quality LCD' thing, but deep blacks naim b the deal for many, not even the colour pop. Overall the hype still worth am sha.

most of the video comparisons hav watched between amoled and lcd
amoled is truly better
like x2
the only lcd i have seen dats truly good are iPhones

daveMorris:
#Gcam.. #Potrait2019. ��

which phone?

godspeed:


What in saying is new design will come every day it doesn't necessarily render it previous device archaic.

People are still buying the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 with bezels.

Even the iPhone X with notch does not look old compared to ur k20

ur crazy!!!
mitchew nah now i knw say ur argument no get head
fine mi9se wins
nonsense

godspeed:


And I just told u the mi 9 SE has a better design, even genius posted a screenshot confirming that

lols better design u say?
lols mi9t hav a more trendy screen
besides i no de buy phone to show case design oo
nt when my phone get glass back!!!
i de buy back case straight!!!!!

godspeed:


Bros cool down, no need to rush. We have the whole weekend to settle this and I'm gonna thrash all ur points one by one systematically.

@ the bolded, yes margin. Margin nobody can tell the difference in real time. And if gaming and video editing is what u value most in a phone, then your choice is simply an sd855 device, you just can't settle for less.

At the second bolded, that is exactly why u don't need radio on ur phone, cos there is internet radio!
I presume u have DSTV at home and I'm sure u are aware it has awesome radio stations, how many times have you ever tuned to them?

Remember those phones of 10 years ago that have television, why is there no brand putting television on their phones today?

lets go back to the origin of the argument

what's actually your point
cost effective?
overall better device?
better specs?
or what?

Dam5reey:


MI 9T is in their league, SD 7** family, Camera setup is the same..
Xiaomi just repeating the same phones.. Mi 9 SE, CC9, Mi 9T

u dn come again

papiforreal:


Steal?
You are definitely a mi fan boy. I would even take you serious if you say the k20 pro with 8gb ram, SD, 855 and 256 is a steal.
But k20? Even mashable India says it's overpriced, so who are you?

mitchew
baba we no include k20pro abeg
nah k20 and mi9t
infact mention a phone priced 120k that's better than k20 ?

godspeed:


Lame, the time of my phone done pass too quickly. Between the k20 pro and Samsung s9 of last year I know which one I'll easily choose.

See before I chose the mi 9 se, I seriously considered buying the mi 8 of last year, in the end, it was the size of the mi 9 that prevailed so age has nothing to do with this

Bros the picture quality of the SE is confirmed better than the k20 series. You read an American even mention it in the same breathe with the pixel 3a. The 9 SE has better picture quality and I'll show u proof.

And of course the size is still a compelling reason to choose the 9 SE.

Features like radio, headphone Jack and the likes are so irrelevant in the tech world of today.

I just asked all my colleagues in the office now if they listen to radio on their phones and you need to see the look in their eyes, the question sounded so ridiculous to them.

bring ur proof come
so top tech reviewers like Frankie tech de lie abi?

fibonacci2526:

hahaha ur Really a funny person

Dam5reey:
SD 730 is the same as 845
Someone will soon type, K20 is Even better than K20 Pro cos of better SOT,
Funny people

he didn't understand me i didn't say sd730 is better than sd845 i said day to day usage will be same like browsing etc

godspeed:



And coming to the pop up camera that gazes tall, that is the exact reason I don't even fancy the k20.
No 1 the technology is relatively new and has not been rigorously tested
No 2, real phone enthusiasts will tell u they are scared of phones with moving parts

And u have the cowardice to include display? You must be a clown,

bro me clown lols
lemme clear ur doubt
google pixel 2 for instance don't hav the new imx586 sensro but still edges out most of the device with the new senor
Secondly
about the pop up camera
mention any user facing any problem with the popup cam?

thirdly battery
lols bro
believe me if ur a heavy user u will keep ur mouth shut!!
watch frankie tech battery drain test den come back and correct ur self ..the mi9 even hav a better battery backup than the se
but when compared with k20 it really look like a mess

fourthly processor
sd 730 performs as good as sd845 in day to day task
bpth in gaming it fails short
sd730 is general better both in gaming
that's why it's an upgrade u goat!!!

fifthly
when mi9se was released it was priced just like the mi9t around 110k upwards
so i think the price of mi9t will drop
but for 119k
mi9t is a steal i repeat is a steal!!

Dam5reey:

Only K20 Pro, tops them..
The 3 are mates, with slight differences.

mitchew baba performance and battery mi9t........ in terms of rear camera realme x front mi9t screen all 3 are same it depends on the user price mi9t is priced higher because of the newer soc believe me if realme x cm with sd730 it will be priced same as mi9t

krattoss:
Indians and the Chinese are really enjoying luxury at cheaper rates..

Feeling jealous of the Asians right now

seriously k20 tops the mi9se and realme x

orogodoganyin:


bro, it plays pubg without stutter and as for rendering of videos, how many people do that with their phones and even if you do, I'm pretty sure it'd not be anything near the difference between the 855 n the 730...
the only reason I'd pay reasonably higher for the k20 is if I want a bigger screen and a pop up camera as it seems to be in vogue... functionality and everything else, bro even you as a tech person won't differentiate it except you're using apps that specifically do that

bro mi9t have better camera output
watch YouTube for confirmation

godspeed:


No, k20 of same spec(6/128gb) costs 126k on AE excluding shipping. That's a massive 20k difference to pay for a SD 730/712

Good night

baba
mi9t is better in almost every aspect
1st screen
with notchless design it's a go go for 90% users
better camera than mi9se both back and front
watch YouTube for better explanation
battery... no even go there oo far better...
processor
bro sd730 is better!!
it's plays games better load app faster
even pubg u cn push it to the maximum and still enjoy gameplay buh the sd712 no way
and has all the 4g band in Nigeria
..... mi9se is cheaper cus it fail short the mi9t
the price difference of 13k is even good
in other market mi9t is Priced really high
we Nigerians get luck ooo
i no even understand again

Dam5reey:

Stop dreaming oo, go and buy oo, Super cool phone..
Worth all the Money...

sure am saving up!!!

genius43:


Bro, be honest the difference is not negligible. The K20/Mi 9T has a more powerful SOC and also a superior battery.

full screen
according to YouTube reviews better cam
mi9t is better!!

Dam5reey:
Cc Lovexme
I got A50, Its not perfect but manageable
UD fingerprint works too
Mi 9T

guy no mk me cry oo see my dream phone looks cool

IKON360:

RN7 IS among the best budget phones for this year. The only phone I may say is better than it for popularity is Samsung A50 but the A50 is far costlier

rather pick the mi9t

Carnage4life:


Yes I understand your point about brand names tho, Yes Samsung has a big brand name but should we as techies who knows what's up about specs, hold brand names as the main yardstick for choosing a phone.??
You say Xiaomi is new, bro the first Xiaomi phone was in 2011, just three years after android came into the scene, Def not new. You said no innovation from Xiaomi, you clearly limit your information about Xiaomi to this forum. The latest one I know is the under screen camera which they're pioneering alongside Oppo. This new slim 18:9 screen resolution we all use now was largely pushed by Xiaomi. Gsmareana wrote something about that one time, and so on like that.
Lol Xiaomi isn't trying to show Transsion anything, I think you don't actually comprehend who Xiaomi is outside of Nairaland here,your mention of Gionee shows it. Xiaomi has done that and so much more. Xiaomi is the 4th biggest mobile company in the world, not Africa or Asia, the world! , that is big international league fam. Check their Wikipedia page for more information and the links under or just read about them. As a brand they've really grown and they're growing rapidly.
Transsion as a brand has really fine phones too and I've used them in the past and will use them again if only they had good chips, I'm not even shitting on them, the Phantom would have been perfect but look at the choice of a Mediatek P35 chip Can't blame for buying phones with better chips you know.
But like I said functionally over brandname is what I think we as techies should look out for.

well said bro
but am not sure there the fourth biggest mobile company in the world oo
o thought there in the 5th abi six spot

Luisema4luv:

If he picks hp over alienware den he must b high on Cheap fanta Daz my dream lappy wit mad spec Chai money na bastard

hp no even get laptops self look at dell asus or acer there lappy de sell like mad!!

Gptech:
@Carnage4life:, if u need laptop, na HP b d best, u need TV, na LG b d best, u need car, na Mercedes, u need ceiling fan, na SMC, u need phone with strong battery, na Nokia, u need camera, na Canon, u need sound system, na Sony, u need sim, na MTN, typical generalisations so many Nigerians still make even today irrespective of educational background or age. I completely understand dig your post.

lols
that's Nigerian mentality which is bad

atheistandproud:
Sorry guys I have been away. But having read 29 pages up till this point. I must clear up a misconception.

And this is a serious one. I noticed Genius43 abstained from it because the argument no make sense at all.

Brand name does not make a good phone. It's sad that many people believe that if you make a paper phone like primary kids do and place Samsung brand name on it then it's better than all other phones. This is a very wrong assumption and by now, a lot of us should be past this.

If you want to do a comparison, put brand name aside and analyse both phones individually side by side using basic parameters like SoC/CPU, camera, battery, clock speed, attachment ports, functionality, aesthetics, screen type and protection, features etc.

What may be a deal breaker for you may not be even worth considering for someone else. That's why there are accepted standards of grading phones. Your opinion is subjective and are subject to change, facts are objective and do not.

On the Huawei Y9 prime Vs RN7...

CPU: Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 710F are on par but the Adreno 512 GPU (RN7) destroys the Mali GPU on that device (Y9 prime).

Battery: Both on par at 4000mAh. This is where UI optimization and individual use comes into play.

Camera: We all know that RN7 front camera is nothing to write home about but it's rear shooters beat the Y9 prime.

For screen type, protection, aesthetics etc. Google is your friend.

This is how phone arguments should look like. Not insults and rubbish talk. Reason like enlightened people not garage touts. We're more than this please.

lemme add to this
if u look big phones i think the y9prime is ur best bet
with a new trending full screen with no notch

pharmtasy:
Pop camera is not really a pro.

i mean the screen without a notch nii
