Look for Redmi Note 9 pro photography channel on Telegram

dmgr:
Okay nice.
So Gcam is now compatible with MTK process?? Thought it only works with Snapdragon processors.

Since Redmi Note 8 Pro

no go area bro.

You fell for the bait. That moniker is a marketer

Kennyflyair:
My brother, forget about update, it's not the thing that'll piss you off about china version. In fact, if you use china ROM on a Xiaomi device you'll love it at first cos of some UI differences and some sweet features. But when you're getting comfortable setting up your phone, you'll realise say nothing sweet pass Google services.

China versions lack Google services support, so if you paid for an app on playstore and want to use it on your china version, you can't. Even simple email, to login fit be wahala. Some important parts of the UI are in Chinese language, many small things we overlook everyday go turn issue on the china version.

Some say recent Xiaomi phones have a way to side load the Google services, but I don't know if it will be as good as the global version support.

You have said it all. My dad started that way too with his RN7 in 2019 and he got fed up after a while and I had to flash the global ROM

The Xiaomi 11 pro looking at the specs and the price it's going for I prefer it to a lot of recent mid rangers... So update and support isn't really important am looking at the downside of getting a Chinese variant here in Nigeria

Network bands is usually the downside but I can't recall that of 11 Pro so do your research.

chinakobo:
I just got an update on my redmi note 14 pro+ 5G. The camera has significantly improved. These guys actually listen to comments.

Nice one.

hotplate:
Goodday Everyone

Please what are the disadvantages of getting a Chinese variant of Xiaomi phones compared to the Global version? I plan on getting the Xiaomi 11 pro but the phone doesn't have a global version variant

Please I need expert advice

In these times I will advise you to stick with Global versions. And also why are you buying a device that is out of support?

Good day fellow Xiaomites,

I'm currently using Umidigi A9 Pro, a phone I've had for over four years, and I'm eager to upgrade to a new device. I'm looking to join the Xiaomi community and am researching which Xiaomi phone best fits my budget of ₦220,000 - ₦250,000.

My attention has been drawn to the Redmi Note series, particularly the Redmi Note 14 4G. However, after extensively reviewing this thread (more than 20 pages of posts, posts of since January 2025), I've come across some negative reviews for the RN14, which has made me hesitant as I want to avoid any regrets.

I initially considered the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G variant, but a friend advised against it. I also watched several YouTube comparisons between the A16 and RN14, where the RN14 consistently outperformed the A16. I noted that the RN14 4G was ranked 109th in the AnTuTu performance ranking, which seems decent. The promise of four years of major Android updates and six years of security updates for the Redmi Note 14 4G is also a significant draw for me.

I'm not very familiar with the Poco series, as no one in my area currently uses one. In my region, Xiaomi series, which is flagship brand, is out of my budget.

Given my budget and current considerations, am I making a good choice with the Redmi Note 14 4G, or can you recommend any other Xiaomi device within this price range? Just performance and battery is what I needed as I am currently using a cheap p-mtk device. Your insights are greatly appreciated!

Thank You 😊🙏.

For me get the Redmi Note 14. There are way more people using the device without issues than those using with issues. The Redmi Note 13 is another option. I would have said Redmi Note 14 5G or Poco M7 pro 5G but that is 100k above your budget.

Azazyel:
Those two are absolute beasts. Not far apart. MTK Dimensity 9400+ excels in gaming and tasks that require high graphics while maintaining a cool temperature.

Show the Geekbench comparison

Azazyel:
MediaTek Dimensity 8400 on the Poco x7pro plays COD flawlessly. That chipset beats several snapdragon chipsets even the recent ones and uses them to wipe the floor. MediaTek chipsets are now very much advanced and as at last year the MTK Dimensity 9400 was the most powerful chipset in the world. I don't know if it still remains the title now. Try and read more and do more comparison btw snapdragon chipsets and MTK Dimensity chips

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is still the best. Followed by the 9400+ and the Xiaomi Orion X1

Debroslink:
Finally, guys are talking about top midrange and flagship Xiaomi Phones. The X pro series, F series and Mi series.

Anyone that has used the legendary redmi note 10 pro shouldn't be talking about redmi note series anymore.

At all. The Note series is just living it's name nothing much is happening here everything is focused on the pro plus

error4040:
No be so chief my budget no reach 14t.
If you can recall wayback 2019 you were the one that vouch for me to get that Redmi note 9s, maybe you have forgotten for now my budget is 450-500k
And 14t I de see 600 800, Ah! Abeg o

Poco X7 Pro then.

siegfried99:
Between poco f7 or poco x7 pro

Don't know which one to buy.

Poco F7 without a doubt

Hemichell:
From 600k-1.2m.

If you can afford 1.2m just get the Xiaomi 15. Other worthy mentions are the OnePlus 13, Samsung S25, Google Pixel 9 Pro.

error4040:
14t na just the camera design discourage, and I'm not photogenic because i hardly take a selfie.
I do game on My devices not necessary online i do play psp games to to remember how game center chop my money that year E.g God Of WAR
So once i get bored so To me buying a device is about
Battery
Display
Processor
Fast charge

The Xiaomi 14t has all. Na you they after aesthetic. If it was aesthetic I would never have gotten the Poco F6.

error4040:
This device.
LORD HAVE MERCY, DaaaammmmmN!!!!

This is the Poco F7 for Global market

dmgr:
Till date, nobody has actually been able to pin point the reason behind the green lines, which is pecular to samsung phones (S series in particular).

Could be hardware, software, its really hard to tell.

Even A series is not excluded. I have people in the same space with similar issues.

Hemichell:
Please which one is the best among the mid range or which one will you recommend aside the list. Thanks

You need to start with your budget. What is your maximum budget. This we help us know the devices to advice you on.

Hemichell:
Good day everyone. I have been using Redmi note 10 pro for more than 4yrs now and I like to change the phone due to memory, hanging and battery issues. Please I need phone specialist in this thread to choose the best for me without sentiment in terms of battery, camera quality and operating system.
It's urgent, your opinion and suggestions is highly welcome.
1. Redmi Note 14pro 5g (12/512g)
2. Poco 7 ultra (12/512g)
3. Xiaomi 15 pro (12/512)
4. Samsung s25ultra(12/512)

Remove midranges from your list.

Buy either of Samsung S25 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 or 15 Ultra(Pro is China only avoid it) or the Vivo X200 Pro

error4040:
The reason i go for the RN14 pro

The Design
Curved Edge display
Better zoom camera

RN14 PRO has no zoom camera. Which specs are you reading?

Hope you are not watching the Chinese Variant reviews and using that as a yardstick.

If Zoom camera is your target go and buy Xiaomi 14t instead

error4040:
Abeg OG's i am coming back to Redmi since samsung decidedto just give free Green line after UI8 update to my s20ultra.
I wanted to get 22 ultra but that screen just vex me.
So now my Target os NOTE 14pro 5G which i plan to get by Next week in Good health, my confusion is the use of Virtual ESIM is really important to me.
I asked a friend he said the device support eSim but physical Esim not Virtual
I thought eSim do not require physical you just download service provider app then scan barcode and it would add

Please I need verification make I no go buy wetin I go start de vex for no reason.
Thanks.

Which one is physical E-sim? Also why not get the Poco X7 instead of the RN14 PRO 5G?

At least the E-sim support is confirmed.

kripen:
I am enjoying it, a very good midrange phone.

14c is a budget device. It is not in midrange territory at all.

teeflex23:
@everybody please who can install custom ROM on my redmi note 12

If you are going into Modding. DIY is your best route else forget about it.

operAhdam:
He said he bought a new phone

That error isn't normal if there was no fault prior

operAhdam:
Hi happy Sunday,
I bought this Redmi 14c recently as fairly used, I noticed the operation is not so smooth for an 8gb ram phone now am having problem updating the phone.
After downloading a 800mb and the 4gb update, the phone reboot and show a "nv data corrupted" error, and when the phone turned on it shows a message that "couldn't update system" on notification.
What can I do. I hope it will not break if I install the ROM through miflash tool

Did the seller give you a reason for selling?

joshjc:
Good day guys, is the redmi a5 a nice phone?

If it is a secondary device then okay otherwise it is basically an entry level device.

Adegbem01:

If he puts price. There is 85% chance the bot will not let the post see the light of day.
