I thought mi 9t pro has uses 855+ while note 10/+ uses 855

Nope.

Mi 9T Pro = K20 Pro

It is the Redmi K20 Pro exclusive edition that was released this week that comes with 855+ and up to 12Gb RAM

samyd1:
please a good Samaritan should help do a thread on this

global ROM
Chinese ROM
global version
Indian version


Nigerian version (lol)

me no kuku know which where I dey may be na local ROM .....

Doesn't need a thread, it have been explained severally.

Chinese ROM(CN) - Comes with Chinese Versions, due to China rules it has no Google services pre-installed and only supports two Languages Chinese and English. It has less themes and fonts in the theme app compared to Global ROM.

Global ROM - Built for markets outside China. Has Google apps pre-installed. Has support for a lot of languages. Has more theme support. Global ROMs are further splitted to suit some regions and country regulations like EEA(EU) ROM, Russia ROM and Indian ROM.

VERSIONS:

Chinese Version - Comes with CN ROM. Has lesser 4G bands.
India Version - Indian Version comes with Indian ROM and has LTE bands used in Indian.
Global Version - Has more LTE bands aimed for their international markets. (This is the one that comes to Nigeria, offered by Xiaomi Nigeria)
European version - for the European Union usually more expensive due to taxes and has no ads. But it has the same Hardware as the Global Version.

alebz007:
I just checked d k20 pro nw. They hv no support for band 28. Although d other banda are present

It doesn't have band 20 ( part of MTN and Smile)

Mi 9T pro has band 20 and 28 that is the Global Version of the K20PRO.

TYglobal:
Yeah but I'm bothered about the portrait mode of the stock camera, no hope?

More updates would address it.

Also disable beauty mode on the front camera

TYglobal:
That was how I became a free marketer for Xiaomi and photographer in church today, everyone kept asking the name of the phone but gcam fell my hand sha, it kept crashing so I had to stick to stock camera and it still did a great job but the portrait is really messed up and couldnt focus, any way to improve it?



P.S I use the 3gb ram version and I've tried all gcam mods already even that of rn7pro still same crashing issue.

Stop taking a lot of photos simultaneously.

Your next phone should be a minimum of 4Gb RAM

fibonacci2526:
These people are confused gaskiya, what's the need for a successor again. The k series should have been an ideal replacement for Poco. Smh.

Xiaomi will always be Xiaomi. Probably an SD 855/855+ in a plastic shell

Lawlahdey:
Khafi's followers just dey rise like yeast. She currently has more followers than other housemates, except Tacha.

She is still 1k behind Mike

abma:
Now the wait is over!

Good, I suspected as much. Because Xiaomi Nigeria where asking the product that should be released next on their Twitter page.

I guess they would be launching both RN8 and RN8 Pro in Nigeria

Lovers of Pocophone, there are rumours that a successor of the Poco F1 is in the works.

colorsofrainbow:
ok.is it much of a big deal? talking about lte networks,i gues other networks aside glo are compatible.could i be wrong?

They are except you find yourself in areas where MTN only has band 20 installed. And you can't use Smile.

As for side-loading it's not much of a big deal but in anytime you reset your phone you have to do it again. Sometimes the side-loaded apps misbehave but you will get a hold of it.

stephinnoyewole:
Global version or global rom?

Research proves that, CN version+global rom is more durable than global version

Wat can u say abt dis?

Not true.

Peppul:
meaning u can port global rom into china version of note 8 ryt.
will that add more lte bands to it.

LTE bands is hardware not software

colorsofrainbow:
pls what do u mean by sideload goggle apps?i knw it doesnt come with google playstore bt it can be downloaded.

That is called side-loading

KngGezy:
On this I agree, you are absolutely right. You have made a very valid point . I have learnt alot from this conversation.

You are welcome.

Peppul:
noobody has the one with global rom

But you do know the Global Version has support for 4G bands like MTN band 20 and Glo band 28 on the RN 8 Pro?

Are you talking of the RN8 or the RN8 Pro.

Peppul:
is it not advisable to buy a the one with china rom, because am planning to get one and i found out from one of the seller that the china varient is cheaper with 24k difference from the global rom

RN8 don't have Global Version yet only the RN8 Pro for now.

And as for the RN8 Pro if it is offered in Nigeria it will be cheaper than AE.

Also know that the RN8 Pro Global Version is more expensive currently by a distance because it just came out, the price will stabilise with time.

Now if you can handle Chinese version/ROM limitations go with it.

colorsofrainbow:
please,any disadvantage(s) buying a redmi note 8 chinese rom.if any,please what are they?

Not Google certified, you have to Sideload Google APPs. Also Chinese version comes with lesser LTE bands than the Global Version.

KngGezy:
Yes true Sir, but I wouldn't want to upload a favourite movie of 1gb. Only to later download it again from cloud for another 1Gb. When I could have kept it if I had a large memory card. It is duplicity of process and in its entirety a waste of data.

Data that could have been used to download newer movies. Apart from using cloud to store some important picture moments. I find storing my recoverable data on cloud repulsive.

Although if you have the excess data to give out. It shouldn't be much of an issue.

Personal choice why upload a video you didn't make or probably downloaded from somewhere and can easily download. I even a lot of peeps who don't download and keep music but stream it anytime they feel like on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal.

Netflix and co is there as well though. It is all because of the nature of Nigeria, the world is moving past that era.

HeavenlyBang:
.. Yeah, you can see a lot more textures and detail in the tiles, for example.

True. If not for the Mi 9SE we won't know there was a yellow sticker on one of the fridges

EseAbed:
Bros abeg,

What's your advise for someone like me that wants to upgrade to the RN8 cos of dedicated sim slot, a better ram too? Cos this my 3gb ram is kinda frustrating me most especially with GCAM, the thing(gcam) go just dey hang oninown then close..

Would you rather I fashee the RN8 and get a flashdrive so I can use both sims or?

Is there anything that can be done about the ram management?

Cos I still loff ds my phone O.. I'm having this silent fear that the RN8 could be worse. Make I no go from frying pan enter fire.
Thanks.

RN8 should be better. If you could afford the 6/128Gb version of RN8 better. I just hope they make all variants Global

KngGezy:
Very true Sir , but most importantly fixing a product that is still under warranty with an unaccredited repairer will remove the warranty.

And the stress of re ordering a part, waiting for shipping , visiting the post office and looking for a capable repairer. All these processes will extend not less than 7days and up to a month

You can even change it yourself, the screen comes with a kit. Also any good phone repairer can change it. Xiaomi phones are not rocket science.

Ordering of screen or parts is not limited to Xiaomi, when I was using Samsung S4, I had to order an Lemon battery from AE because I couldn't get a good replacement battery around my location.

KngGezy:
And to add to this movies videos can't be uploaded. I think data accumulated in the upload and download of that data will cost more than your SD card.

Btw if you uploaded for lack of space and your phone memory is equally filled with important data . Please answer me Sir, were do you turn to?

Videos can be uploaded bro. Where are you getting that false notion from?

KngGezy:
You can afford data for uploading 250 gb+ worth of data and downloading another 250 gb + worth of the same data. Is that not penny wise pound less wise.


Yes I admit having separate storage for files is the best for easy recovery. But nevertheless the hard drive can be easily corrupted. And I doubt with constant usage whether it can stay up to 5 years

SD card can also be corrupted. If you are scared of HDDs, SSDs are there.

KngGezy:
Yes Sir, this proves I had read the comment weeks ago.

And the cost of RN7 is still way cheaper on AE at most 11k

HeavenlyBang:
MI 9 SE took the better shot, by far. A50 Absolutely messed up exposure, had plenty of noise, and even had issues with focus/motion blurring. There's a bit of motion blurring in the SE's shot but it's still a lot better.

The Mi 9 SE captured more details as well

KngGezy:
Now to the price of the screen. Samsung supplies most of the amoled screens in the market. I was viewing this thread when someone complained that his LCD screen of his RN7 was bad and he took it to their newly opened service centre at ikeja. And they charged him more than the cost price.

I was also here when a pleasant person advised his brother to return his Mi9t because of cost of replacing the amoled screen. And unfortunately the screen of the RN7 despite being gorilla glass gave in some weeks after.

Now to hit the nail on the head. Amoled screens cost far more than average screens. It is a well known fact it is not a Particular Samsung issue. It is just how it is. Two amoled 32 inch screens at home got broken. Cost of replacement was going to be more than the cost price. Its common to amoled screens

It was a Mi A3 not Mi 9T

More like B.ENG. You have been noticed thank you

KngGezy:
If you calculate the background data it cost you to store important media on cloud. Except you choose when to upload and make sure it's on free data or wifi. You will discover that cloud storage is a scam. Besides movies and videos cannot stood on cloud storage. Nowadays high video quality can produce 30 minutes videos of 1gb +

And OTGs and laptops are not like the phone. They are external attachments which are liable to be destroyed by dust, water,etc

1. Professional in media don't rely solely on their mobile phones. When you say high video quality be specific. And the size of videos depends on alot of factors. Frame rate, audio codec, encoding as well as final video output after editing.

Videos and movies can be stored in the cloud. Common this is 2019.

2. At the bolded you said OTG and Laptops are external attachments which are liable to be spoiled by dust and water. Are you saying your mobile phone is not prone to damage? Or an SD card is not prone to data corruption as a result of missing or bad sectors as when as viruses?

Also a laptop is not an external attachment

KngGezy:
Apple iphone 6 has 16gig rom no sd card slot. If you have a phone of 5 years without deleting files to make space for another. Nor reselling to add money and buy another phone. You will discover that the 500 gb will not be enough

And alot of people are still buying the iPhone without SD card support.

Most people keep things in virtual/cloud storage instead of their memories these days.

If you have a laptop or OTG flash drive better. Who needs SD card these days.

Tiger2020:
besides most of this phones that doesn't have SD cards slot has much internal memory (128,256 and 502) what are you saving in your memory that you will exceed the memory size

I wonder o. When most people can't even buy SD cards that matches the speeds of their Internal memory.
