Ever heard about Google phones? The noise and hype about the camera? Typically, google uses existing sensors (Sony IMX series) in their camera phones, which some other phones use but matches it with outstanding software. Google has spent millions of dollars in the research and development of this software... And guess what? It works. The company has been able to produce great camera phones at less costs. That has also inspired other giants like Apple to pay more attention on their camera softwares.

Now this is where I'm going... Google couldn't keep it's "recipe for long. Google and many developers have ported this awesome software to other compatible phones both officially and unofficially. Although it doesn't work as exceptionally as it does on Google pixel phones for which it was originally designed, it does magic to any camera it is attached to.

Summary:- If your phone supports Gcam, you have a good camera phone already, and it is a must for you to get the app if you care about photography.

Umidigi baba... I enjoy your post sha... You're honest. Your Bible na Advanced Para Version

Redmi 9. With Gcam it will blow the infinix away, so there's no compromise. I'm surprised that people are still freaked with megapixel counts, we're in 2020 na, C'mon.

josepphh:
I just bought brand new red redmi 8 because of reviews I read/watch here on nairaland... Pls redmi users tell me what I need to do to get the best of my device.

The battery na beast!!! On heavy usage I get more than a day.

I even dropped the phone inside water for a min and nothing happened to it.

Value for money

Dude knows how to get attention lol... enjoy your phone bro

Thrash vs thrash. With that budget, you should get a Xiaomi. Trust me, it's not an overhyped brand.

obailala:
Been a while since I opened any covid thread on this forum; didn't know we still have people who reason like this. May this money making scheme reach your family, Amen!

Baba stop cursing someone's family because of his opinion jare. The truth is no one is sure of what is happening exactly. It's obvious that there are political undertones to this covid thing and it seems the big boys have been covered. People are going to work, getting promoted, churches/mosques are open, markets are wide open etc. The powerless students and intending Corpers are at the receiving end, it's sad.

Where I started believing these things are falsified was after the appearance of Kolawole Johnson(NDDC personnel) before the Senate panel investigating the fraud in NDDC. The young man confessed after the death of the first NDDC personnel due to COVID 19 they were all ask to self isolate. But the management ask some of them to claim they've COVID 19 in order to extort monies from government and that was exactly what happened. You can watch it from the below link

Inside this jungle... different things dey happen

Timiflexi:
While I understand you ,I think you still don't understand us


Compare your brother note 9 with a Samsung,lg,pixel or even iPhone in the same price segment and decide for yourself which phone comes out on top

Cause that's where Xiaomi wins
VALUE FOR MONEY X10

I get you now... What Xiaomi does is absolutely fantastic. And BTW, they still make good profits, it means other companies are scamming us lol...

Walkover for Manchester United. That's good

Set a date with your brother to leave the house. Try to endure where you are for the main time. Play the pity game. Buy a gift for those girls, especially the younger one (be prepared, she may reject it.) Make friends with the ladies in that house by fire by force lol... Just use any OT you have... You be guy na

GGMU. We will defeat the noisemaker FC. As usual.

mcdokwe:
not like a threat, threat, she said she'd rather call it off if he can't stand her being friends with me.

But then, it's all about worth.

When you trust your wan and love her too, there a exemptions you'd be willing to make to keep her, especially if it doesn't hurt anybody.

It's alright. Afterall in reality, it's all about boundaries. Once the boundaries are well set (in the minds/heart of each of them) there shouldn't be any problem.

mcdokwe:
them having girlfriends can negatively affect your relationship more than a male friend.

I had this girl, we were even intimate and the man that married her knew as much, of course he was jealous and wanted her to end it with me but she made it clear she won't do that and stood on her grounds that he should call off the wedding if he was going to make the request again.

We are still friends and she knows she's married and set her borders with me (e pain me sha) to the point we had spent nights on various occasions but still respected our new borders. By far the best of friends I've had not minding the gender.

I agree that I might not be comfortable with the idea myself, but it depends on who you're with, how trustworthy they're.

A woman who hardly kept male friends may still have multiple extramarital affairs even right under your nose without you suspecting it.

I'm sorry to say this but the Man (now husband) didn't do well... "She threatened to call off the marriage"... This statement is driving me crazy... like... well, it's not my business but honestly, accepting such treats from spouses isn't good enough.

This is a tricky question to reply but the quick answer is "no". Such behavior/desires to have friends of the opposite sex are borne out of adultery/fornication tendencies. However, where trust is great, and the partners have clean records, it can be allowed with very reasonable boundaries.

I've been on mtn 1gb for 200 for a while but it stopped working recently. Pls suggest a good data plan for your boy (any network). I use an average of 350mb per day. I believe the info we share on this thread will also be useful to a lot of people, and maybe the mods can help us organize a thread, where there will be regular updates of reasonable and affordable data plans at any time.

Ehenn ehennn It was just a random thought though...

Addiction is one crazy concept. Although what sets people free differs actually, so the Curse thing can work for some but definitely not for me. I have this belief that I'm so blessed beyond curses

Kyrx:
You're wicked oo, someone is already this low as a result of gambling, and you still dey encourage am, nothing is assured in gambling, but assurance dey for better hustling.

@Poster

You're already addicted to this, and honestly, you're the only one that can get yourself outta the mess, as schools never resume now, go dey learn one work/skill, either informal or digital one.

Lastly ba, I get one solution wey dey work Wella, genuinely make an oath with whatever you serves, and place a DEEP curse on yourself should you returned to gambling. It will restrict you till your mind is totally free of it.

I guess you've never been addicted to anything before. Curse can't do anything o...

Will power. God has given us the ability to decide in His name, he'll agree with us. Think about how much it has messed you up and be determined to stop. Find another healthy habit/interest. Music, books, movies, gaming and faith can help. Just develop interest in something new. I know its hard but you can do it.

Sparkling Spark 5, with Spark 5 Cameras. If you have not touched and use it, don't even complain unnecessary. Test it and testify!!!

Bro, we can see the specs already. We know what to expect and we don't want to have such experiences.

lilachiever:
Stupid mods... Xiaomi and Umidigi won't make FP. But they'll always push threads on mediocre and overpriced Transsion shits to FP...

radarada

They're not stupid. I think that happens for an obvious reason.

TheOdd1sOut:
spark 2 - helio a22

Spark 3 - helio a22

Spark 4 - Helio a22

Spark 5 - Helio a22

tecno fans, when una mumu go finish?
no upgrade

Don't worry, xiaomi is here to send them packing. More people are getting enlightened daily.

Youngpo413:
and they succeeded.

The "success" is shaking already lol

Quite informative! I love the business model Xiaomi uses. I don't feel comfortable that I have to fund Wizkid because I need a new phone lol. These tech guys are making money sha... Big money!

skywalker240:
A xiaomi user is better than a Tecno user

You're saying you prefer a Tecno camon than the the mediocre stuff put on these Chinese companies.

Mind you, Tecno is a Chinese company..

Talking about mediocre.....oops the whole world knows that the E, C AND O in Tecno represent the spelling of mEdiOCre

You ended up shooting yourself in the foot

Is English that hard or you just choose to be mischeavous? I never said I prefer Tecno camon to Xiaomi whatever, in fact, I said the opposite. Read my posts carefully, with a free and unbiased mind, you'll get me.

ddjay:
Since you dont care, then there is nothing wrong in calling u a marketer, just accept it righteously

I'm done with you

veramani31:
You re the one making plenty of errors here. How much is the note 9 and how much is a S20? Midrange vs flagship and you expect similar performance?

The note 9 definitely performs better than the A50s and Co which are in the same price bracket. Compare the s20 with the Mi 10 and maybe you'd see how mistaken you re

I honestly get you. Xiaomis are great value for money. And there are reasons for it. A quick one is that they don't spend on advertisement like other brands do, which keeps prices low. What I've just been saying is that their "value for money concept" doesn't mean that they sell flagships at budget prices like I've noticed some people insinuate. And saying that, I don't think I've bad mouthed the brand in any way. It's an awesome brand. If you're looking for a phone on a budget, you should get that (although you can get other brands for reasons best known to you, it's absolutely fine)

MrClassic2020:
Hello everyone.
I have been a loyal buyer of blackbery device before their demise some years ago and I av been using samsung phones ever since.
I decided to get a new phone for my younger sis yesterday
I check the Xiaomi phones available and I noticed most of them have bad camera.
The camera always look dark and does not look smooth like my samsung camera.
I also observe the tecno and infinix phones I saw perform better compare to the xiomi camera.
If Xiaomi is all about processor and bad camera....It's a big No for me.

Does anyone know any Xiaomi phone with good camera.

Get a Xiaomi phone. Download Gcam. Thank me later.

ddjay:
And i even use Samsung sef, and the guy said he doesn't care if he is called a marketer, you are having his headache and at the same time using another person's panadol for cure... hmmmm

So saying "I don't care if I'm called a marketer" makes me a marketer? Come on....

Grandmeister:
What makes him a transsion marketer and you not a Redmi marketer? Going by the way most of you are getting too aggressive on this thread a neutral will call you guys marketers too.

Thank you o, my brother. Why are they so aggressive? Is anybody getting paid? Why are they refuting the fact that regardless of any analysis made by anybody, people should have the right and freedom to buy whatever they choose to buy? From "honest advice" they have moved on to cyber bullying. Make una calm down abeg... Las Las phone na just very small part of life

Tolu95:
Are usually low to medium tiers. You suppose to be arrested. You will just wake up and decide to write stuff you have zero proof about. Just to sell or promote a product.

You are one of the problem of Nigeria as a whole

Error of hasty generalization. I just smile when you guys call me a Transsion marketer... Just the opposite of what I do. If I was a marketer, do you think Tecno would pay me with what I say? I literally tell people to avoid Transsions, but you guys have decided to ignore my points and flare up at any mention of Transsions. You can educate me, it's fine. My point is, I didn't feel like heaven when I used the xiaomis I used (note 9). It's definitely better than Transsions but not like the LGs, Samsungs and pixels I've used. I don't know how these statements make you guys go haywire... I honestly don't know. I did some tuning on my brother's note 9 overnight and its now sweeter. However, it's still not Samsung S20. I keep reiterating that the budget Xiaomis performs like awesome budget phones, not like flagships because you guys sound like they're from Mars.

And stop telling me to go and read up on processors... I've read more than y'all who're freaked by just good enough stuffs.

After all arguments and counter arguments, Xiaomi wins because of the value for money especially in the budget segment. However, nobody can be forced or bullied into doing what they don't want to do. If you like infinix / Tecno brand for reasons best known to you, go for it. If you're more circumspect abour value / money paid, I advise you go for Xiaomi.

ibawon:
You don't really have to bring this marketer thing up when a person complains of a device

Don't mind those annoying folks. They just throw the word "Marketer" around anyhow
