You are married to a Yoruba man.

They just can't eat rice alone. It's just this weird belief that eating rice alone is bad except you add EWas to make it balance diet. (Which isn't true).

Just the same way I can't eat rice alone without banana sliced in.

So what you'll do is cook EWA anytime you cook rice.

I have been using this phone from last month and I found it very great. The phone is loaded with features and its like I would recommend every person to use it. The phone comes with 6.2-inches of LCD display with high-resolution pixels. My concern was the price but it's just 50K nairas. Yes, you heard that right! The phone has MediaTek Helio P35 paired with 2GB RAM which supports the camera best. It is also better for some casual gaming and I would prefer it for the future as well.

Xiaomi Mi A1 was quite the booster for the whole Android One program and paved the way for a fruitful partnership between Xiaomi and Google. The Mi A2 was a significant but controversial upgrade that eventually cemented the Mi A1 as the ultimate deal. And now, the Mi A3 is trying to right all the wrongs and reach for the top once again.
The Android purists can now enjoy the vanilla Google experience on a Super AMOLED screen. There is new Snapdragon chipset promising blazing-fast gaming performance. Then a trending triple-camera should allow you to snap some great pictures day and night. An finally, the large 4,030 mAh battery inside should help you do all these things for many, many hours on.

The Xiaomi Mi A3 introduces a new glass design, departure from the sturdy but somewhat outdated metal shells. And the Mi A3 still likes to keep it as safe as possible as evident by the choice of Gorilla Glass 5 for both the front and the back.

The camera is probably the most interesting new bit, now featuring a 48MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide-angle snapper. The third eye is a depth sensor, which may seem useless, but we are always in for a surprise in them portraits.

Before we put the Mi A3 through its paces, let's take a deep dive into the specs sheet.

XIAOMI MI A3 SPECS

Body: aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 5 front and back;
Display: 6.01" Super AMOLED, 1,560x720px resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 286ppi;
Triple rear camera: Wide - 48MP f/1.8, 1/2", 0.8µm pixel size, PDAF; Ultrawide - 8MP, f/2.2, 1.12µm pixel size; Depth sensor - 2MP, f/2.4; 2160p@30fps.
Front camera: 32MP, 0.8µm pixel size, f/2.0; 1080p/30fps video recording.
OS: Android 9 Pie; Android One.
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 665: octa-core CPU (4x2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold & 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver), Adreno 610 GPU.
Memory: 4GB of RAM; 64/128GB storage; hybrid microSD slot (uses SIM2)
Battery: 4,030mAh Li-Po (sealed); 18W fast charging.
Connectivity: Dual-SIM; LTE-A, 4-Band carrier aggregation, Cat.15/13 (800Mbps/150Mbps); USB-C; Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 5.0
Misc: Under-display fingerprint reader; single down-firing speaker; 3.5mm jack

Xiaomi is indeed righting those wrongs by bringing the audio jack back! And the microSD slot! And FM radio! And the larger battery is indeed a wish come true.

The elephant in the room, the 720p screen, definitely stands out and not in a good way. It's been a while since we worked on such a low-res screen, let alone a PenTile AMOLED. But let's stay positive and give it a fair chance, shall we?

UNBOXING THE XIAMO MI A3

The Mi A3 retail box contains what you'd expect from a mid-ranger's bundle - a USB-C cable, a 10W charger, and inside the paper compartment there is a dark gray silicone case.


It's worth noting that while the Mi A3 supports 18W (Quick Charge 3.0), Xiaomi is not shipping the phone with a QC3-compatible charger. Those are not that expensive anymore, though, so it's not that of a biggie.

A lot of Chinese phones usually have a screen protector pre-applied in the factory but the Mi A3 is not among those. It does come with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides and we can understand why Xiaomi decided against a having a protector.

Sadly the Snapdragon 665 is a downgrade of SD 660 why not SD730 or SD712

Six things you shouldn’t do while charging your phone
August 11, 2019 Starnews NG 0 Comments Charging a phone
Many phone users tend to complain that their device’s batteries discharge quickly. They also typically blame the product manufacturer for this issue; however, the manufacturer isn’t always at fault. Here are some five mistakes that users typically make when charging their phones.
Waiting for the Battery to reach low levels before charging
Avoid waiting for your battery to reach a critically low level before charging. The effect of this on your phone battery is not immediate, but over time it begins to manifest and it eventually stresses out your phone battery (yes, batteries get stressed too) and shortens the battery life. Think of your battery as a human body, you really don’t need to wait until you’re about to die before you rest and eat to recharge yourself.
Keeping your phone case on while charging
Your phone typically emits heat when charging. To avoid exposing your device to ambient temperatures, it’s advisable to remove the phone case while charging your phone so that the heat emitted from your phone while charging can escape. This way you can prevent your device from becoming hotter and potentially overheating when charging. Charging your battery at uncomfortable temperatures can permanently damage battery capacity.
Charging your phone in the wrong places
You should mind where you charge your phone, because not doing so can negatively affect your battery capacity. Phones have a temperature range they can function normally and charging your phone in a hot area can raise the temperature and stress the battery out. Also, charging your phone in especially low-temperature areas, like in front of an air conditioner, can also cause problems for your battery that will eventually affect its optimum performance.
Charging your phone overnight
The least you’ll sleep throughout the night is most likely going to be between 5 to 8 hours, your smartphone battery typically only needs 2 to 3 hours to fully charge. Charging your phone overnight, constantly stresses your phone battery each night. Sooner than later, your phone is likely to have battery problems. In addition, the temperature rises when the battery is overcharged, so apart from shortening battery life, it can also threaten user’s safety in the event it quickly heats up and explodes. It’s better to charge your phone before you sleep and switch it off while sleeping to preserve the battery till the next day.
Plugging whatever charger fits
This especially applies to smartphones. Most smartphones use a micro USB for its chargers and for this reasons most people tend to switch and swap chargers since it fits into and works on their phones. However, this is not appropriate and in the long run it can negatively affect your phone battery. The fact that most smartphones have the same micro USB doesn’t mean all chargers and phones are compatible. Some chargers function differently and that difference can be detrimental to your device if care is not taken.
Using cheap chargers
You can find a number of manufacturers offering top-grade chargers. No wonder these chargers are cheaper than the original ones. However, there are some that don’t include any safety mechanism against overcharging and continuous fluctuations. Unfortunately, if there is an adapter failure, it can damage the battery as well as a phone. So, act smart and stick to the original charger.

The design of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is very captivating and it pleases the eyes. There is the first middle punch-hole front camera design which is really great at that position because there really is nothing to display at the middle of the top, we have a full-screen curved display that goes right up to the edges making it look really bezel-less with a tiny chin at the bottom.
The Galaxy Note 10 comes in five different colors; Aura Black, Aura White, Aura Pink, Aura Red, and Aura Glow, while the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is available in just four colors; Aura Glow, Aura Black, Aura White, and Aura Blue.
My favorite is the Aura Glow which is more of what am going to be using on in this article.
The Aura Glow color design is top-notch, it reflects with lights into different rainbow colors and it stores fingerprints on the back, so users are going to be needing a case but regardless, the color is cool and I love it.
There is no fingerprint sensor at the back, just the triple camera design with other camera techs at the back and the brand logo.
The fingerprint sensor has been moved into the screen to match the 2019 specs which are great but we have a small turn off also, the headphone jack port has been removed, making it the first Samsung flagship with no headphone jack on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series.
They said the removal of the headphone port was as a result of the bigger battery that was employed on the devices (space for bigger battery), and I refuse to believe because if they can make a space for the S-pen at the side of the phone, they could have fit in a headphone jack and according to Marcus Brownlee, he said it is now a constant choice they are making to get rid of the headphone for life, like it going guys and it never coming back.
Pre-order here
But there is an alternative for those who still love the 3.5mm headphone port, users can get a USB Type-C dongle to connect or just use the Type-C headphone that came with the devices.
Another changed is the button, the power button is now the Bixby button. The volume button is located on the left side of the devices with the Bixby/power button while the other side is clean, and no matter how long you hold on to the Bixby/power button, the phone will not give an option to power off nor restart the phone but instead, it shows Bixby and does the normal wake and sleep function.
How to turn off Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus?
Well, there is a button at the topmost corner of the notification panel that lets users turn off, restart and go into emergency mode.
GALAXY NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS DISPLAY
The Note 10 comes with 6.3-inch AMOLED display with 2280 x 1080p screen resolution while the Note 10 Plus features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 3040 x 1440p screen resolution which is just a little bigger than the super S10 Plus 5G.
The display quality has been regressed to 1080p instead of the 1440p that users are used to on the Note 10 which might not be bad after all because it has up to 400ppi (pixel density).
GALAXY NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS PERFORMANCE
On the inside is a Qualcomm premium chipset, the Snapdragon 855 for both devices and yes, I forgot to mention the 5G version which will only be made for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and is to be launched later this year with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset.
We quite some differences in the storages and a minus for the Note 10. The Samsung Note 10 is equipped with 8GB of RAM with 256GB of the internal storage and no memory on the Note 10 which is the minus I was referring to but it has a UFS 3.O storage found on the last two devices in the series.
Note 10 Plus and it’s 5G version features an 8GB/12GB of RAM with 256GB/512GB and yes, it can be expanded up to 1TB using a MicroSD and come to think of it, why does the one with bigger memory still get an Internal memory expansion? Seems really odd.
Gaming on both devices performed wonderfully well as expected with games like PUGB, Asphalt 9, PES 2019 PRO, and FIFA 19 loading fast and running smoothly without stuttering.
Multitasking becomes easy with both devices as the RAM is large enough to launch multiple heavy apps and still run through them smoothly.
There is also an AR features joined with the Infinity-O display and Dolby Atmos speakers which makes the gaming experience more prevailing.
Since the body is made of metal and glass, it might get a little bit hot sometimes when performing heavy operations like gaming, so Samsung took its time to engineer a feature (Vapor chamber cooling system)to cool the systems down which is something that has been adopted on other premium smartphones of other brands like Nokia, OPPO, VIVO, XIAOMI, and others.
Another feature is the ability to connect the Note 10 series to any computer or monitor (windows and mac) to use the Samsung DeX by using the USB Type-C that came with the devices.
Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus runs on the new UI called OneUI which is based on Android v9 Pie.
What’s Samsung DeX?
Well, this software enables users to access files, edit text and run apps from the devices on your computer/monitor which is very cool and all you need is a Type-C USB cable to connect and Samsung DeX will appear on your monitor or computer screen in a different window.
Samsung has also gone on another level with Microsoft with a new feature called Sync to windows, i.e. users can now sync their media, messages, upload projects, or it let users mirror the device’s screen to get apps notifications through your MS account wirelessly.
Note 10 series and their S-pen are equipped with water resistance (IP68 rating) but guys, it is not advised for pool or beach, and talking about the S-pen, it has been redesigned to perform some air gestures, some which are zooming in and out when using the camera, taking shots, swiping through gallery, converting handwriting to text in the background and then index it for users to actually search for in the note app using one of the keyword.
Samsung opened up an SDK for applications developers to push actions into their apps.
GALAXY NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS POWER
We have a big bigger battery capacity on the Note 10 Plus which I presume was supposed to be the same as the Note 10 to compliment for the inability to expand memory but I think their thinking is towards the display not consuming much battery life and maybe to sell out more Note 10 Plus.
We have a 3,500mAh battery capacity, while the Note 10 Plus gets a whopping 4,300mAh battery capacity, and both devices feature a fast charging technology with 25-watt chargers in the box but only the Plus has an extension up to 45-watt charger that is sold separately.
There are wireless charging and reversible wireless technology which lets user charge another device that supports wireless charging. The Note 10 comes with a 12-watt wireless charging tech, while the Note 10 Plus comes with 15-watt.
GALAXY NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS CAMERA
Samsung Note 9 still has one of the best cameras in 2019 and now the Note 10 and 10 Plus which comes with an extra camera.
We have a triple main back camera on both devices; a 12MP primary shooter with f/1.5 large aperture and OIS, an ultra-wide 16MP with f/2.2 aperture and field-of-view of 123 degrees and lastly, we have a 12MP telephoto shooter with an aperture of f/2.1 and OIS (optical image stabilization).
Note 10 Plus as an extra camera which is specially designed handle depth. It is a VGA camera with f/1.4 aperture and a field-of-view of 80 degrees.
The layout of the cameras changed as well if you noticed, the S10 seriesand other Note series cameras were never located on the left side, but instead in the middle, plus the flash and depth camera is separated from the camera collection and placed them beside it, and to the front is a 10MP selfie camera located in the hole.
There is also this new cool feature I really love, the zoom-in Mic feature when recording. This feature basically focuses on the sound in the area that has been zoomed, like the more you zoom-in, the more the microphone focus on the zoomed area.
How is this the Zoom-in Mic feature useful?
If you are a student in a crowded class and you need to record the lecture so you can refer to later and you want to capture everything the lecturer said, all you have to do is zoom-in on the lecturer and the Mic will focus on the sound around the lecturer. Cool right?
We have a live-focus video with live bokeh effect and color pop, and there is a feature called an AR doodle which let the user draw on a focused subject and have it imitated in 3D space.
And lastly, we have a pre-installed video editor to help users cut and join clips on the device and it is said to rhyme/work with Adobe to enhance Note 10 for Adobe Rush.
GALAXY NOTE 10 AND NOTE 10 PLUS PRICE IN NIGERIA
Samsung Note 10 and Note 10 Plus in Nigeria will be pretty expensive. Galaxy Note 10 will be sold for 333,150, while the Note 10 Plus will be sold for 385,650 Naira.

If you use 30 GB data and above monthly, Mister Mobility has a breakdown of the very best data plans in Nigeria at the moment (2019) for heavy users. Dive in for the details.
By heavy users, I refer to individuals who consume more than 50GB of data monthly. I am one, and looking at the availale data tariffs in the country, being able to find the best value is important to me. It is sad that even in 2019, we are still hunting for affordable AND dependable Internet service. Anyway, here are the best data plans in Nigeria at the moment for heavy users.
For starters, the best data plans are still largely found among the big four mobile operators – 9mobile, Airtel, Glo, MTN.
Table of Contents
The best data plans in Nigeria for heavy users
If you can afford an unlimited data plan and have good service at your location, you might want to consider one of the available unlimited data plans from 4Gservice providers like Spectranet, Smile, and Ntel. They cost as follows:
*.Spectranet Unlimited Gold: N18,000 and gives you 8 Mbps guaranteed speeds till you consume 100 GB, after which your speed is throttled to a miserable crawl.
*.Smile UnlimitedPremium: N19,800 gives you 4 Mbps maximum speed till the 80 GB mark, after which you crawl too. To get the 4 Mbps speed back, you have to recharge with another Unlimited plan. Gobe.
*.Smile UnlimitedLite: N10,000. This gives you 4 Mbps maximum speed till you use up 20 GB, and then you crawl.
*.Ntel Unlimited Monthly: N17,500. Ntel does not specify at what point they may throttle you, but says it will happen “If your usage of our unlimited plans is greater than a predefined amount during any 24-hour period (measured from midnight each day)”. It would be nice if Ntel would specify.
*.Swift Unlimited: This is the only unlimited data plan that would be worth considering. For N19,500, Swift gives you unlimited data for 30 days. There is no mention of a speed cap or throttling. Do your research though. You just never can tell.
As it is, there is no unlimited data plan in Nigeria that does not get throttled. All of them will make you crawl if you are a super heavy user. Otherwise, these would be the best data plans in Nigeria for heavy users. But they are not quite. They fall short of it narrowly. The speed caps on these unlimited plans, in particular, are ridiculous. Extremely so.
Anyway, if for some reason, those unlimited plans are not viable for you, then you want to pay attention from here.
Airtel Daily Binge is one of the best data plans in Nigeria
Airtel’s Daily Binge plans let you buy huge volumes of data for really low prices. Here are the two of them:
*.1 GB for N350.
*.2 GB for N500.
The one with the greater value, obviously, is the second one. 2 GB data for N500 is great value when compared to the regular monthly data plans available.
if you do 2GB every day for 30 days, you would have ramped up a bill of only N15,000 for 60 GB. Which is better than what some of the unlimited data plans offer. But it is even better value for your money because there is no speed limit. You will regularly clock over 10 Mbps, and sometimes hit 50 Mbps, on Airtel 4G.
Plus, there is something about being able to buy data in small bits. It is great for your cashflow if you are pressed for money. Just N500 (or N350) daily, and you are good to go.
Don’t forget that the validity for these plans is 24 hours. If you do not exhaust your 1 GB or 2 GB data in 24 hours, you forfeit it.
To subscribe to Airtel Daily Binge, dial *141# on your Airtel line.
Glo Daily Splash is one of the best data plans in Nigeria
Glo has a similar daily plan to Airtel Daily Binge. It offers you1 GB for N300and the data is valid for 24 hours only as well.
If you subscribe once daily for 30 days, your bill will come to N9,000 for 30 GB on Glo daily Splash. And there is no speed cap. If you do 2 GB daily, you spend N18,000 for 60 GB of data.
To subscribe for Glo Daily Splash, dial *777# on your Glo line.
In view of the volume of data that these plans offer, and the lack of speed caps to slow you down, these two daily offers from Airtel and Glo are the best data plans in Nigeria if you are a heavvy user. Even if you consume more than 60 GB monthly, you will still find them to be the best value for money. Those unlimited data plans (perhaps with the exception of Swift 4G, just got real competition.
What may be a little annoyance is the fact that you have to subscribe daily. I haven’t tried them out to see if they offer auto-renewal. But if I were Airtel and Glo, I’d implement auto-renewal on those plans and smile to the bank.
