godspeed: Like I said some pages back, it's unfair comparing both as they are not in the same price range ( though my comparison was with the mi 9 SE which is the same price range as A50).
In all fairness, the little comments I've seen on this thread, nobody has remotely suggested that Xiaomi is better than Samsung. Remember Samsung is a premium brand and one of the very best in the game.
From my review of this thread, I realized the selling point of Xiaomi is that it packs more for less. Simply put,it's not overpriced.
This really helped me in making my decision to buy as, like I said earlier, nobody said it was better than Samsung but a quality product in itself. This made me lowered my expectations as I was expecting the phone and on getting it, my expectations were far exceeded.
See, without the Samsung, I'll still be pleased with the Xiaomi as it is still the best alternative phone I've used so far In all honesty, I don't think you can get a better value for the price of the RN7. I would have gotten one for myself if not that my Lenovo k5 pro is less than 2 months. |

godspeed: And u don't even know if I'm a geek myself.
Thing is what interests a geek might not have meaning to ur average everyday user.
Things like clock speed and whatnot have no meaning to the average user like what he can see and feel
Things like camera quality, battery life, picture quality and ability to handle high quality games does not require u to be a geek to notice.
I play H D games on both and I can tell us the A50 handles games better. On paper, the Samsung A50 should outperform the RN7. You cannot compare the more recent and Exynos 9610 10nm chipset on the A50 to the Snapdragon 660 on the RN7. The Samsung A50 has a better gpu so expect better graphics and gaming experience. I have seen and handled the A50 small and I can tell you that the phone is 'glossy' and it's operations is smooth and fluid. The battery should last longer than the RN7 based on the more Power efficient chipset based on the 10nm manufacturing process. I don't know if the Samsung One UI is better than the Redmi miui. What I will prefer with the RN7 over the Samsung A50 is the IR blaster. I wonder why Samsung hates the IR blaster. |

hollywater: Which opportunity are you talking about?A Child that started school when he was a year, he is 3 years old now,the father can only pay for a Term out of 6? Maybe most of you should stop jumping into conclusion and make more investigations. What did she do with the 14 or 16 million naira she pocketed from selling her ex husband's car? She changed the boy's name to her father's and refused the father from seeing his child and she is still ranting about the man not taking care of the child. I just want to ask her if it is Yahoo money or ritual money she wants her husband to spend on the child since she said he is a broke fraudster and ritualist. One attribute of people that talks senselessly as Tonto Dike does is that they don't know when they start to contradict and implicate themselves. If she don tire to train the child, make she carry am go give him papa. |

Toks2008: I a sure you never watched the interview and same for many ignorant people abusing her.
Are you aware Churchill still grants interview too? Which yeye interview? Anyone that believes anything that that Crazy Tonto Dike says has the brain of an eel. Wasn't she the one that said she bought the car her husband 'supposedly' gifted her herself? When her husband came out to state that she sold the car he bought her without his consent, she did not deny but shamefully stated that the 16 million naira car was the only thing of value that he has. You claim the man is broke and poor, he bought you a 24 million naira brand new car which you later claimed you bought yourself and later sold without his consent. Believe someone with that kind of criminal tendencies at your own peril. |

Dual 4G support is on alot of Xiaomi devices apart from the entry-level devices.
But the Redmi 7 on the other has a dedicated memory card slot. How? Can I but any sim tray with three slots and it will work? I will like it if it can also work with my Lenovo k5 pro. |

How can you say that I am lying when you don't even know me or the friend I was referring to? Same phone but User's experience may be different.

mahkanjuh: Please, house forgive me all my sins here oooo, I just want to ensure I buy the best with the help of my wonderful people here, please don't be tired of me, just help me. Please, kindly advise me, which is the best to go for it between our Nokia X5 and Redmi note 7 Personally I would go for the Redmi note 7, it has better specs on paper. Better processor, camera, battery and based on users' testimony, very strong hardware. The design of the redmi note 7 is sleeker and it had a higher resolution and pixel density. Lastly, I know a friend that uses the Nokia x5.1 plus and I am not too impressed with the phone. It is slower than my Lenovo k5 pro with sd636 and he even complains of hanging sometimes. If The Mediatek helio p60 processor on the Nokia 5.1 plus cannot match the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 in performance, how can you expect it to outperform the Snapdragon 660 processor on the redmi note 7 in performance? These are my own opinion though. |

Phones › Re: Between Infinix And Xiaomi Phones, Which One Is Better by jaymichael(m): 11:30am On Apr 25, 2019 |
Holuwaxheun: Smiles. And do u know that Gionee is still even better than the overhyphed Tecno and Infinix.
I was once an Infinix and Tecno fan. Facts hold it that, Infinix and Tecno pioneered the android movement here in Nigeria and Africa by offering cheap android devices (Tecno L6, N3, F1, Infinix Note 1 etc), but change is a constant thing. I had to switch over to Gionee when Tecno & Infinix were no longer durable, and moved to Xiaomi 2 years ago (the experience was entirely different - having value for my phone. I also dont worry about my phone having software issues cos I receive software support time to time).
You all know it, cos I was there before, as soon as ur Tecno & Infinix phone start closing 1 year, it starts developing problem - from app force stop, app not installing, app storage issues to mention a few.
Its not about hyping a phone now, but making research to know what u want. Oppo is already heading into Nigeria Market and this will increase the competition. Tecno & Infinix should up their game if they still want to be relevant in the market. Imagine a device using SD 625 sold for 140k by infinix, and here I am, my Redmi 5 plus 4gb ram 64gb rom that uses the same chipset sells for 53k or less.
Value for money explains everything. The bolded sums up my disgust for those transsion devices. Tecno is even worse. My Lenovo k5 pro with 4gb RAM and 64gb ROM with SD636 Gorilla glass, 16mp + 5mp focus depth camera both at the back and front of the device, solid built aluminum frame and back cost me about 57k. I rather order for any broken parts on the internet and give to any good repairer than to waste my money on some cheap plastic with very wack customer service. Who their after sales support epp? |

CosmoDroid: Are there cellphone towers/masts close to your home?
We are made of protein and signal (EMF/RF) from the environment has different effects on different field of energy which we are made of, and the corresponding effects on protein molecules are very much one of the key reasons people are becoming more bipolar and polarised into complex mental disorders. The two other causes being negative thoughts and of course bad dieting etc.
Leaving your mom might be a good option but the best option is getting her mentally stabilized.
You said you need help, you got start by ensuring that your mom follows the circadian rythmn by going to bed by 9PM and not beyond. Sleeplessness is dangerous for her type of person as it polarises the mind subjecting her to bipolar disorder. Use aluminum foil to contruct radiation blocks all around her room. She must drink a lot of water to purify her system from nanoparticles that are loaded on the processed food most people eat these days.
Most important is taking lots of water daily. Sleeping from 9PM to restore the body clocks to circadian rythmn for secretion of melatonin and serotonin in best possible rate in order to stabilize her mind.
It is tough to get such people to understand that they are wrong cos their nervious system is out of alignment and the sub-conscious programming is totally negative and is what is running her physical body.
You say she is educated, then let her study about the effect of radiation on the brain and how to protect herself cos some people can not and will not be able to handle the magnetic fields that are pulsated from the towers that are everywhere. Churches are making money from deliverance services on account of this little known microwave technologies warfare that cloaks as demonic possessions.
Welcome to the Frequency warfare era. Bros make we leave all those 'frequency stuffs' She doesn't live in isolation na. I grew up in the ghetto (Ajegunle-Apapa) and her type plenty for ghetto even for Snake Island here where I live. The only thing that gives them joy is causing troubles. If they meet a bigger trouble maker, they mellow down a bit after being taught a bit of lesson but they get back into their skin when they find someone else they can unleash their troubles on. He can just keep his distance from her since she has shown that she isn't someone that can be reasoned with. If only people realized that they are responsible for their actions, they will analyze their actions especially as it affects others. |

CosmoDroid: Day3 of 21Days No Alcohol Challenge.
Hoping to have guests but the challenge is my guests having some gin and beers without a taste of the poison by yours truly.
Greater success could be sweeter if I have courage to convince guests that alcohol is no longer on the menu.
Wishing myself greater luck and determination as the days seem long and boring without the poison inteferring with thought process.
I envy those who do not drink alcohol and will welcome their advises on how their days are complete. Day 3, no urge at all. I don't find it a hard thing staying without alcohol for a month. I do it frequently. At the end of the month, my thought processes become clearer and my reflexes are heightened especially if I restrain myself from 'fornication and adultery' that one is hard for me to break from. I plan to go 30 days and not 21 days. This is day 3 Alcohol free, day 2 (yet) of fornication free. |

Thanks for joining me. I hope we can have one more person, it will be interesting to see if you will resist the Beer and Bitter Lemon for the next 21 Days. But if you actually fail, by taking the beer, it is okay, to indicate and proceed with the 21 days challenge.
Which means you can indicate how many times you 'fail' and improve on it in subsequent challenge.
Year, my Usernames are based on my angle of research, who knows what the next might be....have no idea yet/ If I fail the challenge at any point in time, I will be honest to let you know.
