EXACTLY! You're making my points for me.
every brand always have a negative review, but the negative and positive reviews have to be weighed

Flawed statement. The person who told me about infinix has used inifinix over a year without ish. Then check the attached screen shot below.

It all depends. Stop making lopsided points like a pre seller.

I genuinely wanted clear cut responses from xiaomi fans but with what I'm getting here kaiii...

Until xiaomi finally settles down here, your responses are reminiscent of nothing but MMM.
you picked on the only negative review , thats quite unfair . There have been more positive reviews than negative ones.

Please I'm just an admirer of the product, I don't force people against their wish . I believe it's like a debate if I can't convince you then I let it go.

You also need to correct the notion that most people on the Xiaomi thread are sellers, there are just a handful of sellers (about 6 or 7 of them if I'm correct), the others are just people trying to assist from their experience. I think that thread gives more solutions to problems than any other mobile brand thread

I'm back. interesting responses. Though disappointing. I don't just talk,I demonstrate. probably why they bethink me a paid inifinix seller. For the record, I'm a Samsung fan. But at a time after seeing what budget phones are offering for lesser cost, I became not only disappointed but angry. So I switched to budget phones and my first budget phone was inifinix note 5.

I'm considering buying a new phone for a lady. I was pleased with the specs of infinix S4. And then I saw the thread on xiaomi. That was my first time hearing xiaomi despite checking all outlets for choice phones. I was amazed at the recommendation on here nairaland. I became really interested in RN7... So I decided to check it out.

First I checked our usual Nigerian phone YouTubers: Eric, Fisayo and Misstechy but... nada; there's no review on xiaomi except for Misstechy's archive where she had one... but she said the phone is great but "IT IS NON OF MY BUSINESS" because it is not officially here in naija. Then I understood what the ish was. So I had to check out Indian YouTubers. That was when I saw the review I posted here.

1) A YouTuber also from gsmareana showed how its durability was demonstrated on YouTube by xiaomi guys using the RN7 screen to crack wall nuts. . but the phone reviewer in his own words said: "NOT SURE HOW THAT TRANSLATES TO REAL LIFE THOUGH". Yeah the funny thing is that no nairalander can demonstrate that durability live can they? Use your Rn7 screen to crack a walnut. No Indian YouTuber doing the unboxing review tried it. Hummm...

2) Personally I don't like the interface. The icons looking so somehow to me tbh. They need to up their game on that. Leaving Samsung ivex small for infinix interface but they are better in comparison with Xiaomi Rn7.
She won't be proud to flaunt that kain interface na. If you talk they will say snapdragon this durability that. She ain't a gamer. ladies love movies and pics. plus I attached a screen shot of a lady asking how she can get Rn7 screen already fa. So?

3) The sim tray. For what na. you know ladies like media: pics, movies... so if they are to put sd card then just one sim? why na?

4) I also had to check the dedicated xiaomi thread, I observed it is filled with xiaomi sellers. To get xiaomi now you have to patronise individuals. I wondered if that was the reason for the hype and plenty recommendations on Nairaland?[b] I read a comment where one bought a fak[/b]e. Very risky. I don't know how to function that way. patronizing individuals. All these discouraged me amongst other reasons. PDP won elections on Nairaland but how did that translate to real life?

Therefore, for me it is not enough that xiaomi has "launched in naija" they have to be well settled like other budget brands. So they're that good and they had to wait until now? Haba...

Finally, there's nothing as good as a healthy competition. It will help my pocket last last by forcing prices down.

So I demonstrated my reason for opting for Xs4 currently: availability accessibility clean sleek glossy etc Anyone who is to counter my demonstration must do so with convincing demonstration not ranting. Talking about people losing jobs is hilarious because it clearly betrays you as a xiaomi pre seller.
the guy didn't buy a fake phone, a screen protector was placed on it .
As for the issue of storage , there's one with 128gb , I'm quite sure a lot of people don't even have uptown that on their current phones (SD card + inbuilt storage combined)
For the UI, I personally don't like it but that's why there's a theme app to change to something different.
I don't use a xiaomi but I've recommended it to people, and they've been excited about their phones.

The guy saying something about sending phone from Delta to Lagos, you don't need to do that naa, Robinson plaza guys can handle this phone very well.

on weekends when I don't go to work and decide to play pubg with my friends. The phone lags a lot and it gets hot. Plus I also have xda developers gfx tool plus the normal one. The lag and the heating is still there
what about your network, is it great? It could be the network sometimes.
I had such issues one time only to discover my poor network was making my phone heat up and also affecting the smooth play of my game.

nice points tho... But sometimes asking question and getting real time updates help... If u don't scream Ur voice out or post Ur request like 5 times u won't get a response here
what makes you feel you'll get faster response on a WhatsApp group? It's not like there's going to be a dedicated technician or service rep. There's no one obligated to respond to any query here or in the group so for better response most times try and tag one or two persons that have demonstrated to have an idea to most problems/issues.

honestly, I lost interest trying to explain to some here about the said 'custom charge'. Yes, I wanted to but it was obvious majority were comfortable with it.
I had to make some contacts to know why the sudden strange 'custom charges'. Lo and behold, they were dumbfounded about the situation.
Well, the situation is under investigation.
If anyone is charged with suspicious 'custom charge', he/she should just post the name and address of the post office and the rest will be taken care of.
bros, you would have just said so. It has happened to alot of people and it was beginning to look normal, a little enlightenment would have helped. Just coming to say it's not true isn't enough, but adding a little more info would have been helpful.
Thanks for sharing, at least people will have an idea what to do when next it happens

As at now Airtel rocks, so even if na only Airtel self u can still enjoy it well, mind u it seems we are going to have more network provider pushing out the 4G network on new bands, just like the case of Glo

Before now we all thought MTN won't work on the X5, And MTN LTE wasn't in Benin before now, so i probably don't know which band we are using to rock it now I guess X5 support the MTN 4G band in Benin

As for the guy that talk about GLO 4G working on the X5 i tried it and it didn't work, it was just the H+ i kept getting

I'm using Airtel currently and I'm not ready to drop it for the MTN 4G.
there's an app that shows what band is being used, can't remember the name.
Thanks a lot for your explanation, I'm sure a lot of people have learnt something from it. Personally I stopped buying data on my MTN since last year, it's been Glo Etisalat and Airtel

MTN LTE on the X5

Which other evidence u need again
bros , maybe you guys don't understand what I'm trying to say. Someone earlier mentioned that the 4g only worked on airtel, I'm only saying he should help clear such false statement because he has a wider reach. I'm not in anyway castigating the phone. At least more proof like this will help people make the right decision

Please help confirm the LTE bands it supports, I want to get the phone for my mum , madam is a Nokia fan

Hello xiaomi fanboys, the redmi note 7 is covered with glass at the back which is quite susceptive to breakage , while, the front is made up of corning gorilla glass 5 that scratches if force is applied a number of times.
Bros , if you're not comfortable with the glass you can as well get the note 5/6 pro with metal body.
I really don't think anything can satisfy you guys, you should set your eyes on buying flagships to reduce complains. Most phones these days come with glass/plastic backs even iPhones.
If it's metal back you need search for phones with that.
State your budget and specifications maybe someone will lead you to the right phone

You think update can give you an LTE band you didn't have before?

Heard Glo is on a different 4G band in some locations. Apparently not in Lagos.
nope I don't, that was a general statement.
You or someone said it was only Airtel 4g that worked on the X5 now we're hearing mtn and Glo also, I only called your attention to it because you're among the pioneers of this thread and it would be good you help people out with more info concerning the recent exposure

The location of the main bathroom/toilet is too close to the living room and backing the kitchen.

Kitchen is too big and overrated. Swap the gym location with the main bathroom. Reduce the size of the kitchen and create a guest toilet/shower at the corner of the living room
