I am talking about store for gadgets like Original 90w, 120w chargers, power banks etc

The last time I went to Ikeja, I couldn't get original OEM 33 watts charger from these shops

I later bought from a third party vendor -- not sure it's OEM

You weren't specific. That one is third party. I am not even using my Follow come charger. I am using a Basieus 65W Gan charger

Serendipity2023:
DO WE HAVE XIAOMI OFFICIAL STORE IN LAGOS?

OR AUTHORIZED VENDOSRS?

Raya, Finet, Pointed, 3chub are vendors. There should be more they have an official office in Computer Village. But know that it is not all released phones they bring to Nigeria

Serendipity2023:
why does it usually happens after an update?

it happens even on iPhone

i no get power for issues

Even if you don't update your Sammy it will still happen

Serendipity2023:
omoh i don't wat to hear stories o

But seriously, my note 10 pro camera is okay with 2021 MIUI

But why do some people especially Samsung S series users have green line on screen after updates?

It is not update. It is a hardware issue

Serendipity2023:
I may not even update it

The camera is better than note 10 pro because I have both

I am replying you with note 10 pro

Una still dey fear update in 2025?

I use F6 and trust me my Camera got way better with updates. Even the RN10 Pro you are holding the camera software was flawed at first. It only got better with updates.

I am waiting to see if Xiaomi 17 Pro will go global. That might be my next device.

akile21:
Any user of Poco M7 pro 5G here What are your experience so far with the phone...?

Your review will go a long way for intended user.

Go and ask this question on the main thread with almost 10000 pages. It has a wider audience. This place is a distraction.

Serendipity2023:
512gb

Does it affect camera quality?

I meant the software version. I know the early versions weren't perfect. The cameras always get better with updates. I had same experience with F6. But now my F6 camera towers above the RN10 PRO

Serendipity2023:
I tested both bro for over 3 hours

What ROM was the 14t running on?

OlaksEinstein:
I don't like the fact that you sound like I've insulted you and you technically called me a mediocre as I need education from one Gptech. Well, social media makes it easy for anyone to talk to unknown persons without the second thought of knowledge measurement.

It is well.

But you didn't insult me by calling me a novice right?

Let us not talk of knowledge. It is a black hole that I will advise you not to attempt delving in.

OlaksEinstein:
We agree to disagree, if you know all about Chinese version Xiaomi phones and the models I advertised, the cons I stated would have been enough for you plus, what I wrote isn't for a novice.

Like I said look at my profile. I am not new to Xiaomi.

Calling me a novice means you are certainly new here.

You can take these to the parent thread and confirm who is a novice.

At least Oga Gptech and co we educate you more.

OlaksEinstein:
All the cons has been stated, I mentioned nothing about Network Bands because we source for models that supports Nigeria network Bands. If you decide to use Esim on global or EU ROM versions, you cannot use an eSIM alongside two physical SIM cards simultaneously; it can only support a total of two active SIMs, which can be either one eSIM and one physical SIM, or two physical SIMs. eSIM-compatible Redmi phones use Dual SIM Dual Standby to manage a single physical SIM and a single eSIM at the same time.

Also, there's no need for bootloader unlocking as the models I sell comes Preinstalled with Google Services, they don't need to play around the bootloader unlocking.

But you know you are not talking to a novice in these things. Have fun

OlaksEinstein:
I sell Chinese version Xiaomi phones with Google Services Preinstalled, it's Google Certified with the ability to get rid (uninstall) of 96% of the Chinese apps it came with and yes, it supports English Language.

PROS
- Premium and Upgraded Hardware components (having used Xiaomi products for 10 years now, I can assure you I'm right by this and can provide you instances should you care to know)
- The most secured MIUI/HyperOS firmware with the least bloatware (Xiaomi has 4 major types of firmware for their mobile phones, namely: China, India, Europe and Global Firmware. It's not hard to understand why their version is the best )
- A complete specification award bundle (In 2020 when Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 9 series, none of them is provisioned with 5G, at the time, I started using the Chinese version of Redmi Note 9 Pro which has 5G and the ordinary version of the Redmi Note 9 also has 5G... Fast forward to today, Redmi Note 14 and 14 Pro doesn't have 5G, only Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has 5G... It's same they did with Redmi Note 13 series)

CONS
- Doesn't support eSim (I don't know the technicality to this but it keeps surprising me that this happens but then, I think esim should only come with phones with just one SIM port, all Xiaomi phones comes with dual SIM ports.)
- Doesn't support Android Auto (if you own a smart car with Android Auto enabled and need to mirror your phone to your car play head for navigation and or play multimedia, it doesn't support it)
- Requires a savvy setup (to minimize bumping into Chinese characters to 2% on weekly usage, a proper setup had to be made, infact... You'll first need to activate Google services to be able to access Google Play Store and other Google apps but things are a lot easier when you set it up using Mi Mover i.e, use your old device to set it up the new one by moving your files and settings from your old phone to the new phone)

STOCKS AVAILABLE
RN 13 (5G, 8GB Ram, 128GB Rom) - ₦280,000
RN 13 Pro (5G, 8GB Ram, 256GB Rom) - ₦390,000
RN 15 Pro (5G, 8GB Ram, 256GB Rom) - ₦520,000

I have been using Chinese version Xiaomi phones since 2016 and everyone I've convinced to patronize it have no regret, I personally possess over 20 Xiaomi products to power my smart home, I have Xiaomi Smart TV, Xiaomi Smart Fan, BLE Gateway Speakers, Smart Band (watch), Smart Sockets, Smart Switched, Smart Bulbs, etc. I can supply and install these too on demand and in Chinese version. You're welcome to join me!

Also tell people the cons. Examples are the limited Bands on Chinese versions especially the midrange, secondly Xiaomi's new restrictions to bootloader unlocking.

These are no longer the days of Redmi Note 3 to Redmi Note 7.

Secondly Esim has no business with the number of SIM Ports. Xiaomi decides on which model they want to put the feature on.

SyncForth:
Once my mum dials a number her redmi trips off immediately.
Not just the screen, the whole phone goes off.
What could be the cause?

Might be a malware or bug

Serendipity2023:
I tested both bro for over 3 hours

I take a lot of pictures too and I know what I am saying

Serendipity2023:
I have been trying to get a new device capped at 750k price max

I went to Computer village Lagos yesterday and checked
Xiaomi 13t,
Xiaomi 14t;
Redmi note 13 pro,
Redmi Note 14.
The camera of Note 10 pro and Note 11 pro+ of 2021 beat all of them.

The display and graphics on Redmi note 11 pro+ was the best.

Walked from from Idowu Lane, to Olayeni to Kodeosho streets of computer village.

Spent over 4 hours on these.

People around there, even the sellers were shocked.

Xiaomi is now rubbish.💔


I am disappointed.!

I still have RN10 PRO at home and it doesn't beat 14T.

I currently use Poco F6 though

Serendipity2023:
open box/foreign used

It is fair but you can bargain a little

Serendipity2023:
baba is it good to buy 14t pro at 550k ?

Brand new?

Runup:
I settled for Redmi note 14. Anything to know to setup the phone?

Disable recommendations from the Xiaomi apps. Use a private DNS when possible to shut out ads, try to download as much official apps as possible and update your device as at when due.

guydangerous:
so you are saying Redmi 14....Note 14 are their mid tier while Xiaomi 15.....15T are their top tier, what of their Poco series how do you categories them. Here to learn incase I'm in the market next time.

Redmi 14/14c - This naming metric are budget devices.
Redmi Note 14 - Lower midrange
Redmi Note 14 Pro and Pro + Midrange/Upper midrange.
The midrange market is the most complicated and hard to get value from these days

The Poco also have this categorisation but you will get value from the Poco X series and the Poco F series.

Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro are budget flagships.

Xiaomi 15, 15 Ultra are flagships same with the new Xiaomi 17 series that were recently launched in China.

Adaowerri111:
The installer is strongly recommending Felicity, what do you think?

Battery Go for Deriy over Felicity and inverter Dey or Growatt over Felicity.

Some installers only recommend what they are comfortable with not because it is the best available.

Runup:
Pls which one should I choose between Redmi note 14 4g and Poco m7 Pro 5G?

The Poco M7 Pro 5G

Henrybright:
Xiaomi 15T camera is way better than Redmi Note 10 Pro. The phone is good and I am enjoying it. I really don't have anything to complain even though it was the Xiaomi 15T Pro I wanted but they didn't have it available.

I was surprised when he was making the assumption. Probably judging with MP count rather than sensor size and the ISPs involved in the processing

duduade:
Maybe it’s all those open box phones

Most likely used

GTB Today

Berbakaz:
Good afternoon people

Please which Xiaomo Phone can I get with a budget of 500k, please kindly provide the specification

Check Macbeyland's adverts. There should be Poco X7 Pro around this budget.

Trafford:
(1) 5kwh lithium battery 1m

5pieces of 600w Jinko panel 100k ×10=500k

5kva 24v non hybrid inverter =480k

100ah MPPT Change controller=210k

6mm cable wire 3800 × 25m = 95k

AC breaker= 10k

DC breaker=12k

Breaker box = 8k

Panel rack =24k

Above is the quote I got. He is using felicity. I don’t intend to use light to charge it as I want to slowly leave grid as cost of band A is becoming unbearable. There is 5 TVs in the house one 42 LCD, and the rest are 42 led, and 65 led in the sitting room. I have inverter ACs and freezer but I don’t intend to use it with the package yet unless maybe during the day or when I have upgraded. I still want to be using a bit of grid to mix up in the interim until full up is done with time. Yes next year is close but not early next year as it will later end. Just as you stated, fees and the likes definitely waiting as well. So i just want to get this to help reduce cost of grid, while I plan to phase it off completely.

Thanks for your input.

The price of the inverter and external CC will get you a 48v Growatt 6kw inverter that will carry those panels without stress

Victayor:
Please can anybody recommend a good engineer at computer village Lagos that can help fix my Poco F3..? The phone just went dead overnight. All possible means to bring it back on is in vain.. Connecting it to Power bank shows connected from PB, but the phone won't on.. Have charged/boost with diff charger still not coming up.. 🙁

Contact Igemburg

Chimatesky64:
Xiaomi 15 ultra is a beast camera madt, Xiaomi flagship devices are the best.

Congratulations

eby001:
Abeg o, after all the yabbing, my people go still buy the blord version. Apple has nailed the build quality whether titanium or steel, just falling short in this rat race of software development and ai. Missed my good old redmi7 and rn10pro.


Thread still going strong, I hail gptech, ityp, genius43 and other guys from as far back as 2019.

I greet you boss

Chimatesky64:
The Xiaomi 17 pro max and Xiaomi 15 ultra which one is better? want to buy one of the mentioned devices.

There will be a 17 Ultra that will be a replacement for the 15 Ultra.

Also I won't advise anyone to buy a Chinese Version.

Henrybright:
Finally changed my Redmi Note 10 Pro I bought since 2021. It is still going strong but just needed a new one and I went for Xiaomi 15T which I am okay with 🙂

Worthy upgrade

guydangerous:
Please fellow redmi note 14 users is there a way I can pass on-screen fingerprint verification with an already mounted privacy screenguard on the phone? Because I dn place my finger on the screen tire with no success.

I hope removing the screenguard is not the only way out?

You need a specialised tempered glass with the cut out for UD fingerprint scanner
