Between xiaomi 12 and redmi note 13 pro 5g,which one should I go for?

Xiaomi 12 will be better than Redmi note 14 pro plus 5g.

seanwilliam:
Hello guys please can you recommend a generator that can power the following efficiently
1. 2split ac 1.5 hp
2.1 Fridge
3. One standard industrial fan
4. Blender
5. Washing machine

Note I want a gen that can carry 1,2,3 simultaneously..
Budget is 400/500k..
Been thinking of Sumec or thermocool
U can post the pics too. Thanks..

At least 6.25kva will do, that's 5000/5500W (run/start). With the current situation of Nigeria, expect to double your budget.

dvkot:
you lost me mate

, I modified the last post.
Sincerely speaking, there are a whole lot of things that affect a device asides paper specs. Technology has really made things even more complicated .

dvkot:
I understand what you are saying and your experience is probably because you used mi11 ultra
Well the phone is a beast no doubt about that, but sd 888 is not what what give it the hd screen or qhd I believe. But then again I would pick Samsung note 20ultra over mi11 ultra... Samsung floors it in all camera, performance, screen expect battery and I think both phones are the same price range

Well, I was not comparing the screen of the Mi 11 ultra to another phone, was talking about screen resolution in general, phones, tvs, etc.
Regarding the note 20 ultra versus Mi 11 ultra, personal opinions about camera performance is always there, but the performance of the 11 ultra is definately better.

Seyilome:
For me o, I have gone for mi 11. I have vowed never to use redmi note series again, after using mi 11 lite 5g.

Talking about build quality, you'll notice the difference between a flagship and a midrange device in just a few months time. The materials,be it glass are not of the same quality at all.

dvkot:
stop saying that... chipset has gotten to a point where little improvement are not noticable sd865 can do anything 888 can do even dimensity sef.

Year after year of chipset Is not improvement neither is it superiority. As for the heating on 888 not it's not like something the same as other chipset heating issues, and to be fair xiaomi did not suffer hugh from that like the way Samsung s21 series did.

Xiaomi has a good heat management just like OnePlus but that doesn't mean it didn't suffer it too.

Like I said sd865 is a wayyy better chipset than sd888 and gen 1
I would rather buy Samsung note 20ultra than sd 888 or gen1 powered phone matter of fact if you give me a s20ultra and xiaomi 13 I would pick the Samsung, except of course it's mi13 ultra.

I believe that if you use the 888 for some days, then return back to the likes of 865, you'll immediately notice the difference. Those days, I used to argue not seeing the difference between HD ready and full Hd screens too.

Seyilome:
SD888 is superior to sd865 any day , any time .

Yes, you are right.

dvkot:
sd888 suckes

I also thought so, until I handled the Mi 11 ultra. Current user is impressed with both battery life and performance. He was coming from the snapdragon 865 too.

dvkot:
lol... dimensity is a really good chipset una just dey look down on am and I used to be among the people that do criticize it but to be honest it's crazy good and their heat management is good if not better than some sd and google tensor (I have also used a pixel phone)
I think xiaomi using the chipset on the performance model of their flagship (T,series) and the pro version of the RN is something you should really think about.

I used mi11, mi11t and pixel 6 and

If I'm to give a winner in performance and battery it is mi11t but camera sucks

For camera it's pixel 6 but performance sucks

If you want a little bit of both a performance that's not as good as the mi11t but doesn't sucks and a camera not as good as pixel 6 but doesn't sucks then mi11 is your choice

I want to believe you mean the balance of performance and battery management is better with the Mi 11t . Using the Mi 10 and Mi 11 ultra for about a week, the performance difference was evident in day to day use. That's SD 865 versus 888.

dvkot:
I would rather go for sd gen 2 on a Huawei/honor brand to explore harmony os.

This is much better, abeg skip that dimensity 7200.

genius43:
I was shocked. I was thinking he will be gunning for a Xiaomi 12 or 13

That's the way to go for me sha. Someone using a new Redmi note 12 pro+ felt like selling it immediately he saw a Mi 10. The difference is very obvious in looks, feel, display,etc.

dvkot:
there is no downgrade in performance that mediatek chip is a beast if anything it's a better performance

Oo, ok, its actually better. Seems you already made up your mind; you have your own preferences, but with that budget, my first option is definately an old flagship device, Xiaomi 12 at least. Second option will be the Poco F5. The performance of the Redmi note 13 pro+ is around the league of the snapdragon 865 in the likes of the Xiaomi Mi 10.

dvkot:
I want to use a Huawei phone or RN13pro

You dont mind the downgrade in performance? I mean switching to Redmi note 13 pro.

Sunkyphil:
am suspecting the panel because after I changed the battery the situation remained the same

Which phone?

Entanglement:
kerosene is very expensive in our side, is there any other method I can use to clean the air filter apart from kerosene?

I have never used kerosene for this once, I use warm water with soap, that's what is written in my manual, it's also written on the air filter cover, you can check yours.

fijiano202:
this is not in the manual.....

Manual said wash not dip in engine oil


Why would you dip it in Engine oil when you just washed off Engine oil

The oil prevents dirt from getting into the air/ fuel mixture in the carburettor. It's almost useless to have an air filter without oil in it.
The screenshot it from Firman USA.

Charley2020:
What about the air filter? Do you clean it yourself? How easy is it?

Everything is in the manual, just read. To clean just wash with warm water and soap, rinse with warm water then dry. When its completely dried of water, soak it in clean engine oil, squeeze (take note, dont twist it, you'll end up damaging it if you do) out the oil, then put back into the gen.

Charley2020:
I just bought an SPG 3000 Firman generator, and I'm wondering how often people service big generators that have a separate engine oil compartment.

I've only ever owned an "I pass my neighbor" generator (the type that requires a gasoline/engine oil mixture to run), and it needed servicing every 3 weeks when used daily.

Please if you have a generator that has a separate oil compartment, let me know how often you use and service it.

Note: Servicing = opening up the generator and removing the carbon deposits, not changing the oil.

Thanks

Read your manual. Since the gen is new, your first time oil change should be more sudden than normal. Some manufacturers require you to do this after using the gen for 40 hours, check yours. After the first change, you can do subsequent change of oil after 60-70 hours, also depends on what you have in your manual.

Pls kindly permit me to post this js here. I was using my whatsapp with no issue only for me to get this message below from the whatapp app.

PS: I have never used gb whatsapp with my number.

What happens if you download WhatsApp again and try to login?

oyaskii:
Has anyone noticed that, if you are looking for any vid tutorials on Redmi Devices or any general videos on Redmi Devices for that matter recently, on YouTube, it is mostly done by Indian guys who 90% of the time speak in Hindi. I thought my YouTube algorithm was broken, so i even added English to my search query and I still end up with a buttload of hindi tutorials that are practically useless to me.

Is it that, English tech creators do not particularly care for the Redmi brand enough to post vids about them on YouTube or what?

India is the number one market for Xiaomi. Secondly, people from Europe still buy Iphones, Samsung phones and Google pixels more than Chinese phones partly because of contracts.
Lastly those in the US who use Xiaomi phones had to go through the back door because Xiaomi is not officially in the US.

lanre316:
If it were me, I would buy none of those. I would go for Samsung Galaxy A35

Galaxy A35 not even announced yet, abi na typing error?

GabrielYulaw:
No part in particular. Just been hearing a few folks here complain of lack of spare parts availability.

Parts are available, just find your way to a care centre or get a competent engineer to help you when you have major repairs to carry out.

GabrielYulaw:
I thought that you people were saying that Thermocool gen spare parts no dey again?

Na similar parts dem dey use. Which part in particular are you referring to?

Lowlah1623:
Hello everyone. Such an amazing thread here. Please I know you may have gotten this question over and over again but please I need advise on a gen to buy,fuel efficient too ooo,preferably 3.5kva,just to carry TV fridge and my thermocool deep freezer. Someone recommend corolla to my hubby and am like, hollup 😒 which one is corolla again?! Abeg has anyone used this? I can't find any reviews. The heat in this Lagos is smh please this is urgent. We have been using this thermocool Gen for over 10 years now but the thing is choping fuel! Economy isn't smiling either. Please I need advise on genuine brands. We once used a fireman ruby line, not
sure if it still exists. I can't tag all the handles but abeg🙏. Help a toddler mum.

Forget that corolla. Go for Thermocool, Firman or Maxi. Since you are talking about fuel economy, if your freezer is not too big, get a 2.5kva gen instead.

Mustiboy:
A friend of mine wanted to buy the Redmi Note 13 Pro today.

I told him it's a waste of money and that he should look for a used flagship Xiaomi device. I actually helped him look for one.

We finally settled for a 260k Xiaomi Mi 11 from Jiji.

I saved him almost 100k. He has been thanking me since morning, saying the phone looks too good to be true. Damn gorgeous.


My point is, these new midrange phones from Xiaomi aren't worth it given our falling currency. Leave tear-nylon smartphone for people in countries with stable currencies.


Just get yourself a used flagship and enjoy pro-level performance, camera, screen, and build quality.


'nuff said.

You try .

Chrome cant be uninstalled naa

Ooo, I forgot its a preinstalled app.

milanseedorf:
I recently updated my poco f5 os to hyper os and to my surprise i got a dual chrome by default and now i am not being able to deactivate it

Uninstall the main chrome and download it again from playstore.

GrandMufti:
Lol.

Make he dey manage am like that. My hand no dey

Smh. .

NeoWanZaeed:
They're not serious fa. Keeping users in stone age lol

Redmi 12 is supposed to be a low end device. Some features have to be stripped off either so the device can run smoothly or to differentiate it from higher devices. I know of some low end Samsung galaxy A series that doesn't have the cast/mirror feature.

NeoWanZaeed:
The control center is still old one ..and no options to change it.

Seems that's what they planned for redmi 12. It has been like that since I bought it

Yes, that's the plan, just like the 13c.

tessy990:
Redmi phones are no longer affordable

Na the new catch be this for manufacturers. Imagine almost 64K for extra 256gig strorage! 8 gig ram is more than sufficient for that processor. For the extra almost 64k one can get a 1 Terabyte SSD and use as external memory/ backup, there will still be enough change to buy accessories like a good earpiece plus screen protector .

Modified: I nr even see the price of the pro+ version. The Poco f5 is obviously a better deal.

Broskyjames:
I fear more people will be pushed to get used devices with fairly decent specs now, than buying a device that sports the Snapdragon 685 for above 200k in 2024 😩

That's definately the way to go now.
