wolfenstein: Ok, that's cos dey rooted their phones or they are using Chinese rom No, it doesn't require root access, download miui theme editor, you can use it to apply themes you download from Miui forum third parties. |

careytommy7: Make una answer me na. MTN and airtel na which one beta pass? I set my phone to prefer 3G. I subscribe mtn 1.5gb on 14th and now I have less than 10mb left. Should I port to airtel? Note: I rarely YouTube. I mainly Facebook and Chrome. Go to gallery, hold the left button and screenshot. Also since you are a regular on Facebook, get ready to buy bigger data bundles because Facebook can use up to 300mb in 20 mins, depending on network speed. Also check your data usage stats to know what exactly eats up your data. |

mindtricks: Funny enough, many use two sims, with no sd card, and have files saved to phone memory, yet experience no lag issues, except where phone memory is already almost full. Phones actually run faster without sd cards. |

tqsmile: Nope. Phone, mi band 2, and accessories. Am sure everything didn't weigh up to 500g, even if it's Mi Max 2  , next time insist on not paying when it's not up to 500g (0.5kg), those people think people don't know what they are doing. |

J0nyb0y: Oya list the most important ones....  Major thing is you get the latest features of miui before those on global, some might never even come to stable roms, the gallery app is better now, there are more editing tools available, faster bug fixes, etc. |

paulmarkino: Which launcher is suitable for Nite 4x? . The one it came with is poor to me. I don't like the display. Register for Mi Account and download themes, the one that comes with it is normally bland. You can start with 'Geometry Black'.

SirdimayG: Have turned it off... That means I should not install many apps.
OK lemme count my apps.
33 installed apps As a rule, try and ensure your available space in internal memory is never less than 1 gig, that way you'll be good. Goto Explorer and delete everything in Apk. I left those 4 because I haven't installed them yet.

eleojo23: My experience with RN4 before and after using Two Sim cards and SD card simultaneously with regards to battery life.
On Single SIM: Battery stays intact through the night.
On Dual SIM: Battery drops by 2% during the night (that's about 6hrs).This is obviously because the phone is dealing with two network signals.
Verdict: Negligible impact on battery. I can sacrifice 2% battery life for a dual SIM experience.
So feel free to get the hybrid sim adapter if you wish to do so.
Gptech, Grandmufti, iliyande, princetom1 Thanks sir. |

wolfenstein: I'm not just saying it, it's because I have been using Xiaomi products since early 2014 Even some persons currently with a Xioami here in Nairaland use clones unknowingly to them, have personally seen two guys with such, they just think they don't get OTA updates because they have shop roms flashed. Cloned Xiaomi Mi 3 and cloned Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. |

wolfenstein: Anyway dts 2 u and it also depends on d links u watch dem from. Gsmarena don't really have nice video reviews, u can check links like android authority or pocketnow for a start. visuals is more realistic and adapts more to d brains dan written. Anyways we all have different opinions, I'm not contradicting u though. I watch anything review from speed tests, to camera comparisons, to drop tests from any site, including Android authority, Jerryrigeverything, supersaf tv, etc; that's what I basically do on YouTube boss, but I find written reviews more comprehensive. But like you said, we have different opinions.

spartacus11: Bside d addition same sensor On d main camera
Na d addition goodies nor dey Mi Max 2 But same sensor
*****Modified******
D low light performance as tested by me, is very much OK.
I mean in a dark room with no single light at all at d middle of d night
Set at HD auto Flash Auto, it came out well
But I just observe now wen the Rom was on 8.4 it was much sharp Dan dis 8.8 on low light The Mi Max is also good in low light, but is no where near the Mi 6 because of the different camera set up and lack of OIS in the Mi Max 2. The wider aperture of the Mi 6, means better light intake than that of Max 2, that's where the camera set up changed. Check the screenshot.

wolfenstein: how is it beta dan YouTube oga, how can a written review b beta dan a video review. With a video review they give u every detailing dt u want. Besides y use small data in dis new kind of era of change Even thesame Gsmarena has video reviews. The best reviews I have seen are written not videos, though combining both is even better. In video reviews, you can hardly spot the differences in camera performance, display performance, etc. You don't see clearly the differences in contrast ratios, sunlight legibility, audio performance with a headset, etc. After spending much data on video reviews, especially in the camera department, you might really wonder how much the Galaxy S8 for instance beats the Redmi note 4, the difference looks very minimal, but that is a far cry from the real deal when viewed from written reviews. |

spartacus11: D camera is just too perfect, same camera sensor with the Mi6, Erm, not actually same camera totally, the telephoto camera is different, plus there is no OIS or any form of stabilisation for the Mi 5x, so the low light performance is really different from that of the Mi 6. |
