I have used Note 5 pro, mi max 2.

Currently using MI Max 3.

Nothing like zapping data, I even stream videos.

If not for Coronavirus that affected premier league, I stream live football and airtel takes 300mb to 400mb to stream full match, I always off the data after first half and put it on when the second half begins.

Now I use glo and the 4g is fast here, nothing like data zapping.

Phone do not zap data.... Apps and some settings does.

Moreover checking every photo on fb and Instagram, watching every short video.. auto updates, background apps and others do zap data

Almost 2 years using Redmi Note 5, no such thing as data consumption and I didn't restrict anything.

His are main data consuming apps
1. Instagram
2. WhatsApp Statuses
3. Facebook
4. Apps that have alot of ads. Get pro versions.
5. Avoid unnecessary streaming.

I'm using note 8 pro. There are restrictions you have to set. Off some features.

I can help.
Post screen shot of your usage details. Take mine below for example.
So me and anyone else here, can help. Otherwise, you are complaining but not in need of solution.

alphaNomega:
I know someone who uses a Redmi note 8 Pro and does not complain about data consumption.

Do you guys even go through your phone settings thoroughly?
By the way, I'm impressed with the performance of the phone. Would not mind using it someday.

This is one of the cons of xiaomi phones, until you use it, you will know the reality, I started off with the redmi 7,unto note 7,to redmi note 8,note 8t,then note 8 pro before I sold it to try another brand, now am using Samsung a71,. During the periods I was using the redmi phones I do finish glo 2000 for 9gb that is meant to last for a month,within 2 weeks without downloading and Streaming YouTube, just whatsapp, Facebook and surfing nairaland, that is all. But now with my Samsung a71 I hardly finish my 9gb... Always roll it over to the other month.... Try and practice this with another device, and you will understand what am saying..

mathefaro:

Failure44:
Lmao
Seems you lack a sense of humor, anyways

You claimed to have disabled background apps, no?
If so then nothing else is taking your data just stop watching videos or downloading whatever you download , oh and putting your device on 3G would help.


That's it.

You should tell the rate at which your soap and cream finishes

GreatDamife:
This redmi note 8 saps my data like water. I've restricted unused apps but it's on the increase still. How can I be using 1gb per day. I'm not an heavy user. This is draining me. I got the phone just 2 days ago and I'm considering selling it off. Which way forward pls?

Just download the game from your playstore (attached picture). You should have about free 2GB space or so then it up in relation to your phone processor quality. That's about it.
