Hi,

You're obviously catching fun at this point. That much is clear. I don't need to impede in your fun catching, but troll with sense. Simple common sense.

1. I have never seen anyone hype the Redmi 9a. It is an entry level device with limited functionality. It is a phone that I have with me. It does exactly what the processor ought to do. It is not meant for PUBG or PES. No right thinking human should expect that from a Helio G25 SoC. No body.

2. The Infinix Hot 8 that you mentioned and the Redmi 9a, which one do you think is the better device?

The Redmi 9a's Helio G25 will outperform the useless Helio A22/P22 combo on that overpriced piece of plastic.

3. All of the hype goes to the Xiaomi midrangers, especially the upper midrangers. In 2019, the Redmi Note 7 absolutely destroyed the Infinix S4, Zero 6 and the Tecno Camon 15 Pro. In that same year, Redmi Note 8/8pro took Infinix S5 to the cleaners. In 2020, the Redmi Note 9 Pro was better the Infinix Zero and Tecno's Camon 16. I have not even mentioned the Mi 9T, Mi Note 10, Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro, Mi 10T Pro 5G.

In 2021, the Redmi Note 10 Pro has swept away the Tecno Camon 17 line up. With Infinix going back to use Helio G90T for the Zero X line up, Redmi Note 10 Pro is the premier midranger of 2021.

That's the hype.

So if you were too poor to afford a Xiaomi midranger, that's not on us. Take the lamentations elsewhere. I have the Redmi 9a and I take fine photos with it, as well as run my playstation one and J2ME emulators on. It works fine.
You brought a gun to a stick fight. Demolition, destruction, absolute fatality!!

No doubt. But for team death match, COD does it better, battle royale on COD is utter nonsense. I can't remember the last time i had chicken dinner in pubg, shit is getting tougher and tougher. You still using RN7?

I tell you. I use to be a die hard xiaomi fan, From R5plus, Rn5pro, Rn8, Rn10pro. The first time i used galaxy a51. I realized there is a difference between super hardware without software optimization and average hardware with great software optimization. Now using galaxy a52. And enjoying every bit of it. I wonder how the S series go be.
The software experience on A52 is sweet, my last phone was redmi note 8, so great software over hardware anyday for me too. There have been like five updates since I got the A52 and none of em is buggy.

It isn't about this. Not all Mod apps works on this device.
It isn't even peculiar to RN10 Pro alone. Maybe it's an android 11 thing. I've had to pay for apps on PlayStore too when most modded apps shared on the TG app didn't work, and I use A52.
FamilyRe: *letter From The Grave* Lee Kuan Yew’s Open Letter To Nigerian Leaders by Hakeem12(m): 4:19pm On Aug 05, 2021
yazga:
*LETTER FROM THE GRAVE*
LEE KUAN YEW’S OPEN LETTER TO NIGERIAN LEADERS

Dear Nigerian leaders, I want to appreciate your condolence messages to Singaporeans since my death on Sunday, March 22. Having died at the age of 91, I would not say I died young.

In fact, life expectancy in Singapore, which I led as prime minister for 31 years, is 80 years for men and 85 for women. You may even say I spent an overtime of 11 years. I would say I lived a good life which I devoted to the progress of my country.

I can confidently say that everything I did — including that for which I was heavily criticised for being “highhanded” — was for the benefit of my people, not for personal gain. I died a fulfilled man with no regrets whatsoever.

May I briefly tell you the story of Singapore so that you can understand why it is often told with admiration all over the world. We were a small, hopeless Island.

We thought we were so poor it was impossible to survive on our own. We decided to go into a union with other countries to form Malaysia in 1963.

But because of ethnic riots, we were expelled from the union in 1965, and I broke down in tears because I did not see how we were going to survive as a country. It was so bad we had no potable water. We relied on other countries for water to drink!

We had no natural resources. No oil, no gold, no solid minerals, nothing. All we had were human beings — and ports.

Dear Nigerian leaders, we did not give up. We decided to pick the pieces of our lives. We resolved to turn our fortune around.

Today, our story has changed completely. So you know, we are no longer a Third World country.

We are one of the four Asian Tigers — so-called because of our incredible development story.

Singapore is the only Asian country with the top AAA rating by all credit rating agencies. We are the fourth largest financial centre in the world. We have one of the five busiest ports in the world.

Manufacturing accounts for around 30% of our GDP. And Singapore has the third highest per capita income in the world.

Permit me some more immodesty. Unlike Nigeria, we don’t have a single drop of crude oil on our land.

But also unlike Nigeria, we are one of the biggest exporters, not importers, of petroleum products.

Our country is in the top three of oil-refining centres in the world, yet we don’t have oil! We have some of the biggest refineries in the world.

Meanwhile, Nigeria, the sixth largest oil producer in the world, has been importing petrol, diesel, kerosene and engine oil for decades!

Let me shock you: we are the largest oil-rig producers in the world! The World Bank ranks us as the easiest place to do business in the world. I’m blushing, even in death!

Let me explain how we attained these feats. We are no magicians. We are no angels.

We are human beings like you, dear Nigerian leaders.

The first thing we recognised is that quality leadership is non-negotiable.

I understand that ordinary Nigerians get all the blame for Nigeria’s problems under the pretext that if the followers are bad, then leaders will be bad. I disagree.

{THE LANGUAGE OF MAD NIGERIAN - slowpoke}

If the leaders are good, the followers will be good.

The leaders take the critical decisions and show direction. That is why they are called leaders.

It is the dog that should be wagging the tail, not the tail wagging the dog.

Don’t blame passengers for bad driving. Countries are transformed by good leadership.

Why does a country need competent and exemplary leaders? Development starts from visioning.

No country develops by accident or co-incidence. Development is planned.

The leader, who must understand the critical issues, puts together a team, shares his vision with them, assigns them responsibilities and leads them from the front.

That is where it starts. It is when you have a vision of society that you will know that education is key, electricity is key, health is key, infrastructure is non-negotiable. It is when you have this vision that you know where to direct your energy and resources. You know the kind of people to put in charge of key ministries and agencies.

Furthermore, leaders must not be obsessed with instant gratification and personal comfort. That is one of the biggest problems you, Nigerian leaders, have.

*_You are too obsessed with the perks of office that you have forgotten why you were elected in the first instance._*

I understand that you have a presidential fleet of the latest jets in town, and that your governors also own jets or fly in chattered jets. What a waste. I will share a story with you, which you can read in my book, From Third World to First.

The story is on pages 363-364 and it had to do my trip to Ottawa, Canada, for the Commonwealth meeting in 1973.

The Bangladeshi Prime Minister, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, arrived in style in his own aircraft.

When I landed, I saw a parked Boeing 707 with “Bangladesh” emblazoned on it. When I left, it was still standing on the same spot, idle for eight days, getting obsolescent without earning anything.

As I left the hotel for the airport, two huge vans were being loaded with packages for the Bangladeshi aircraft. At the conference, Mujibur Rahman had made a pitch for aid to his country.

Any public relations firm would have advised him not to leave his special aircraft standing for eight whole days on the parking apron. You want aid but you are showing opulence to the world.

Presidents of Kenya and Nigeria also arrived in jets. I wondered why they did not set out to impress the world that they were poor and in dire need of assistance.

Our permanent representative at the UN explained that the poorer the country, the bigger the Cadillacs they hired for their leaders.

So I made a virtue of arriving by ordinary commercial aircraft and thus helped preserve Singapore’s Third World status for many years.

However, by the mid-1990s, the World Bank refused to heed our pleas not to reclassify us as a “High Income Developing Country” — giving no Brownie points for my frugal travel habits. We lost all the concessions that were given to developing countries.

_Dear Nigerian leaders, I understand that you are very, very religious._

*_The Muslims among you pray five times day, go for lesser hajj so often, fast during Ramadan and mention the name of God as punctuation for every word and every sentence. The Christians among you are always speaking in tongues or eating communion, paying fat tithes and heavy offerings and holding prayer sessions at home every morning._*

*_Yet, I am told you loot your state treasury without compassion or compunction, inflate contracts recklessly, operate killer squads, and watch — without conscience — as your citizens struggle without clean water and good hospitals._*

Unfortunately, I died an agnostic. I neither denied nor accepted that there was a God.

Though two of my younger brothers, Freddy Lee and Lee Suan Yew, are members of the Anglican and Methodist churches respectively, I was not a churchgoer. Don’t misunderstand me: I am not saying you should not believe in God.

But I only wonder: how can you say you believe in God and fail so woefully in what the Holy Bible and Holy Qu’ran teach about loving your neighbour, caring for the needy and showing responsibility as a leader? I cannot understand it.

You guys never cease to amaze with how you can conveniently combine religion with greed.

On a final note, I appreciate that you are mourning my death and describing me as great. Thank you very much.

But I want you to know that you too can become great by putting the welfare of your citizens above your personal comfort.

Nigeria too can produce a Lee Kuan Yew. I go to my grave a happy man.

Ask yourself: will you go to yours fulfilled? Adieu!
Nothing but the truth!!!

Update: after a series of bug-fest on Xiaomi's MIUI and a move to AOSP ROMs that just weren't as stable as that of pixels, I moved to the Pixel 4a yesterday, brand new, and I love it!!! Screen is same size as my former phone (iPhone XS), very comfy to use with one hand (I hope manufacturers continue to make phones that are 6" and below for people with small hands like me).

The Pixel 4a battery is solid (after a battery drain scare). 8-10% per hour SOT, just like the Redmi note 10 pro on 120hz.

I'm already adjusting to 60hz and the pixel 4a seems smooth still, and faster too. Apps stay in background (thank God)! Xiaomi phones are very aggressive with ram management (literally nothing stays in memory, my God).

Android 12 is even better.

Shockingly, performance is better on the pixel 4a. I know a lot of people will argue the Redmi note 10 pro has a better hardware, but there again, google showing us that software is as important as hardware if done well.

Camera on the 4a is on a league of it's own. The single len is enough and better than 4 cameras, again software is king! No Gcam mod is close!!!

These were enough pros for me to jump ship and rightly so, but for a bit steeper pocket.

It was a nice short time with y'all. wink

Edit: the haptic feedback is like what you get on the iPhone. Redmi note 10 pro? Yuck!

This is not a post to bash a phone I just used, and to be honest, the Redmi note 10 pro is a solid product for its price, but for a little more, the pixel 4a is better is every aspect except for the 120hz display which I find to be a feature that can be overlooked. And oh! Display quality is better on the Pixel 4a too.
i thought 4a wouldn't get android 12
