Yeah why I said almost,

Union24 also valid but faced some fraud issues back then,

Fraud and settlement issues

credon:
People, judging by specs, redmi note 13 is better than redmi note 14

Redmi Note 13 4G or 5G? You have to be specific.

noobody:
Almost every virtual card provider is using a traditional bank network as a payment gateway portal for there USD payments

So las las na still Nigeria banks wey block payments on there naira cards dey run am,but selling at a more expensive price than you would pay for .

So it's simple,they made the service unavailable and choke you for patronise fintech

I am surprised because most use foreign partners like the old union64

dannzy30:
no chippa dollars card

But that BIN is pointing to a UBA Card.

dannzy30:
Who has experienced this before pls help, I am yet to receive the otp it's been over 1 hour

Is this a Naira account?

Azazyel:
Where is the lie? It's actually true for most of the time. I remember a guy dropped a message here sometime ago about playing EFootball and his Redmi 10c network wasn't as sharp as the one on his friend's pop 8. I told him not to bother much but when I carried out the study, I noticed that my Poco device had a weaker signal compared to my Tecno device in some areas even while on the same network. Every brand have their weakness and strength. In this case I can confirm what that guy and some others said to be true here. I don't know about any other person who thinks otherwise. For me I don't bother much about it cos it doesn't disturb me

My Poco F6 had network same location when S22 was struggling. Does that make the S22 inferior.

When it comes to network often and not it goes above just device. The SIM also contributes but I am not ready to give you that education.

I have observed it is penchant of you to jump on every discourse.

You said a Poco had worse network speeds than Tecno. I still laugh but I won't be surprised if you are comparing the smallest in the Poco lineup because I clearly know you have never mentioned owning a Poco F series on this forum amongst the several Xiaomi devices you claim to have to stake a claim in every argument. When next it comes to a flagship you will claim that you have a Xiaomi 15 Pro and it is below par.

But like I told your other crowny do you.

Deeni131:
Talking about signal of redmi phones compared to the techno and infinix phones. I'm beginning to realise that infinix and techno gets higher signals then redmi phones. Where my redmi phone struggling to give me network, infinix browse flawlessly.

This is a very big fat lie. But do you, the likes you crave are coming.

leTrizzle:
Some Infinix phones show voLTE, the same person that had that Infinix phone got a Redmi 13 and the same voLTE is present.

Like I said it is a network thing. Even my brother's S22 it is off and ON. But for lots of Xiaomi devices MTN seem not to push VoLTE to them.

I used RN10 Pro never saw VoLTE, now Poco F6 no VoLTE either. Am I bothered, Hell No

leTrizzle:
How about a note 13 that doesn't display voLTE?

That is network. MTN is gives to phone makers selectively. Take that same phone out of this country and you see VoLTE

23jerryking:
I get you sha. But if you play Efootball mobile against your friends, and for the joy of the bragging rights involved you'll understand my frustrations.

Your location have a role to play. Not 4G+. You can have 4G+ and still have bad pings.

This is Nigeria. Even the so called 5G is overrated here.

23jerryking:
You'll not understand sha. Sign to get a new device in this Tinubu regime?

If you are so worried about a + then it is clearly a sign to make changes.

23jerryking:
Yes. It shows 4G. My major issue is that am not getting 4G+ which is very important for my online gaming.

You are excessively worried about nothing.

I have a 5G device and even the 4G is more stable than it. Even in the 4G my phone switches both aggregation (+) and Non Aggregation and I rarely feel the difference.

If you are so worried buy a new device. Redmi 10c have held its own down by the way. It may be a good sign to get a new device

Hinokami:
Alright. Thanks for help. I'd check them out accordingly.

You are welcome.

Hinokami:
A balance between the both but I lean more towards performance.

New preferably.

For a new device that is around the Poco X6 Pro and Poco F6 territory. A notch higher will the Google Pixel 8a

Hinokami:
Yes you're right. I like your attention to detail and knowledge. I use Mi 11 lite 5G NE which wasn't officially released and it's really served me well without any issues whatsoever.

My budget is around 450-500k

Thanks

What is your preference, performance or Camera, New or Used?

Hinokami:
Hi everyone.
I currently use an Mi 11 lite since 2022 and would ideally love to upgrade to 13 lit or 14 lite. Unfortunately I do not seem to see it being sold new anywhere.

I'd like to ask how are the new xiaomi phones like?

Do they hold up the standards of the older models (9 and 10 series)?
Are the mediatek processors actually good and on par with their snapdragon counterparts or generally everything is poor.

Thinking about getting a new phone soon.

Thank you all.

Apart from Mi 11 lite 4G the 5G variant wasn't officially released in Nigeria.

If what you are using is the 5G variant it means you got it from third party sellers.

How ever your current hunt for phones mostly depends on your budget. Until you share your budget then people will know how best to give suggestions.

blackbone989:
Nigerian use of 100-130k

Coming from RN9S your budget is not sufficient

blackbone989:
I use a redmi note 9s,it's d best phone av ever use. The phone fell n d screen n back glass has crack,how much to fix it. I plane selling it to upgrade. I need a suggestion of another redmi that is sweet like this. Camera,battery n performance

It is your budget that will determine the recommendation you will get.

WHITELIGHTER:
That was mainly pixel 6. Pixel 7 and above seems to have gotten it right.

Gotten it right by throttling the CPU speeds. This is the case for even the 9 series

pheranme9:
My redmi note 9 ram management is really really poor, when I got it then I could use it well and all but seems software update reduced the speed and it's possible it's the company that Is causing it.

I'm using 4/128gb even if I expand it to 6gb via ram expansion it's still the same it really sucks.

Not buying redmi again sha, I have it as my second phone using pixel now it's incredible

I have told people that RAM expansion is a scam.

Deeni131:
That's why Techno phone I used yesterday surprised me. I opened 5 apps but all of them were not closed. I wonder how techno handled that

And the Tecno phone was same 4GB?

150k

150k is a tough spot. What used devices have you seen in this price bracket

Mrluv:
4gb sir my brother tecon too is 4gb that reloading is very annoying

You may have settings impeding you.

Mrluv:
My redmi note 9s keep reloading app am using anytime I minimise to check something that would not take up 30 second the app would reload anything am doing I would start from beginning again why my brother cheap Tecno phone I don't reload app when he minimise any app even it take up to 5 minutes

What is your RAM Size?

WHITELIGHTER:
This got me rolling.
Guyman want his 150k phone to perform like a 600k phone. He for jeje buy Spark 20

We have seen that line of statement here over the years. They will buy the lowest versions that even those that use the brand mostly avoid only to compare with the best phone from another brand.

kemshade:
Good evening, thanks for the advice, which other phone can I go for that is not too costly, is not a must for it to be a recent phone.

Here are my reasons, getting a brand new will be difficult because it is out of production which means you are left with the used market and the likelihood of getting one in top condition is another of my fear.

Also the network bands on the Chinese brand differs from Global whilst you may be covered in very urban areas you may not be so lucky if your areas has one band your phone doesn't support.

What is your budget?

Westchester:
I need to ask this question, what's the hype about Redmi series?
Bought the just launched Redmi 14c and the lagging is just frustrating. I decided to go for the Redmi after seeing all the hype but I'm regretting it right now. The phone lags so much and the ram management is trash. You can't even switch between 3 apps without them starting afresh. Again what's this hype all about??

Who hyped Redmi 14c?

Didn't you see Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G?
