Calm down na. I said I'd pick A50 over N7P. It's all about what you're looking for na. I'm not a game freak, especially on phones. Gone are the days.

Likewise, I'd pick A50 over A70 because I don't really like screens that are too large. Phone manufacturers are making that impossible day by day though.

It all depends on personal choices. If you're gamer, I'd say pick N7P over A50. But if you're looking for a more balanced performance with a crisp screen, go for A50.

bro nor be quarrel o
I like the A50 because of the amoled, if money too Dey I'll get it but if not I'll go with the N7.
I just wanted to here your opinion on what I pointed out

Osyxcel:
A70 should be better. Powerful CPU, better camera and bigger battery. It however has a bigger screen, which probably means more power is needed.

Like I said earlier, SD675 is more powerful (especially in single threaded operations) than the Exynos 9610, the GPU is also far better - these gives you better gaming. But in terms of speed and efficiency, the Exynos is likely to perform better.

It all depends on what you are looking for.

calm down, slow down!!

After everything you now added the bolded.
You said the A50 is better than the N7P abi? Is the A50 better than A70 also ?

IKON360:
The phone is Major joy giver, I've not eaten since I've been holding this for more than 6 hours now plus 4gb Airtel dashed me. This is a beautiful phone.

it's time to pepper your parents ABI

About your NL password, I believe there's a way to setup a new one

Osyxcel:
RN7P is more powerful especially because of the GPU, while the A50 should be better in terms of efficiency. A gamer should pick the RN7P, while someone interested in all round performance should probably pick the A50. The camera on the RN7P should do better than A50, but then software optimization is really important and could make a difference. Mind you, A50 uses a wide angle sensor, an extra one for ultrawide angle, then the depth sensor and they all have smaller apertures compared to the RN7P with only one secondary depth sensing camera.

In terms of screen, no need for comparison, A50 tops easily. I'm terms of power, the results should be similar although the CPU on A50 tend to be slightly more power efficient. Software optimization will play a big role here.

My opinion. I'll still pick the A50 over RN7P. Amoled is sweet.

PS: RN7P = Redmi Note 7 Pro. A50 = Samsung A50

based on this your analogy, the A50 is better than the A70 ?? Because na the same dragon Dey A70 and N7P

biznus:
just Samsung.

Okay @ emboldened

me sef na Samsung I dey use , but when I see good thing I dey talk true. I dey update my Samsung steadily, sometimes sef if I can't wait for the update to reach Nigeria I download another regions own and install.
Overall I'll say Xiaomi is a great product, you just have to take your time and choose which one suits you

biznus:
I am not a fan of doing a major update. I fear that thing like kilode. I want to unbox and start using a new phone like that. If I am to do a major update then it would be when the phone has stayed years then updating becomes necessary to key into a new os. Even at that I don't update because I've heard stories. I rather get a new phone.

For instance:



What do you think?

Please I just want to buy this phone and use it as it came out of the box. is that possible? I don't even want to change font et al.

oh lawd !!
You be serious case what phones have u used??
Updates are good , you just have to wait a bit and find out if the update pushed is good or not .

Gptech:
Stock Android, not just stock rom, two different things. Stock Android is the way Google designed the Android Os to be. Its appearance is different from what you find in many big OEMS like Samsung, Huawei, etc. What you find in e.g Samsung, is the Android Os with modifications or additional features like icon packs, themes, wallpapers, gallery, file manager,etc. When such additions are made to the original Android Os, the Os is then referred to as skinned Android, not stock anymore. Examples of Skinned Android are the One UI on Samsung phones, Oxygen Os on Oneplus devices, Miui on most Xaiomi phones, Emui on Huawei devices, Xos on Infinix phones, etc.

you're always reliable . Kudos bros

They've littered everywhere with comparison threads, ive been reading some and holding myself back from responding before I'll be tagged a marketer. Some are so ridiculous, I don taya abeg

grafixdon:
Imaging, I downloadd fm on play store and the app almost wipe out my entire data just to listen to cool fm. So annoying.

whenever you want to get a phone , ensure you check several phone sites to see the specification and pay attention to it , then watch/read reviews. If you're satisfied then get it . Don't just buy without getting yourself well informed about the phone.
I'll soon get a new phone, I'm already watching every review video I can about my options, so I don't get disappointed

grafixdon:
I bought this phone some months ago. The only thing I enjoy about this phone is the camera and battery, to even think I bought it 75k without any meaningful values.

No default app like Recording, Docker, FM Radio, Galary, Screen shot (except you press volume and power keys together. I've used many wonders android phones in the past like Huawei, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, HTC. None as useless as this phone.

Too bad

Calm down, always make elaborate research before buying a phone. You're using stock android naa, go on play store and look for alternative apps that can perform those tasks

You people should come and explain this thing for this guys and others

jinka:
was using leagoo kiika power. that phone na hot plate

Ithink you should settle down and go through the phone properly, do all the necessary settings and play around the camera settings also. It's a new UI to you so don't be too quick to judge, it's good you're asking questions which would make you have a better idea about your phone.

jinka:
same thing. i don't really understand how I can customise the GCam for better pictures.

just hold on maybe someone who uses it might direct you on how to set it up. If I may ask what phone were you using previously?

jinka:
done ..thanks

how's the outcome now?

WarriAproko:
who be nobody. And how much... Cant i order it my self from china

yes you can , just to avoid the wait that's why he suggested you contact guys that sell it here and already have it available...
There's a xiaomi store thread also.. check it out for their prices

For those interested, it's still on . It seems they've got a lot

lovelani:
I am holding back to the RN6Pro..... I will rather not give in to the temptations. It's all gimmicks ..... In 2months time to now , xiaomi will again come up with new innovations ..... Maybe 52MP with rotating camera and SD901 by then . Biko..... For now na necessities get my $$.

Oh that by the way, AE don dey make sense Sha. Made an order on Saturday and item has been shipped already this morning. Let's see when it will be despatched .

Abeg dey rock your phone jeje.

fibonacci2526:
The redmi 7 is 47500 via jumia xpress.

a lot of people don't ask questions before jumping to conclusion

MeshachMARTINS:
btw...she said the phone fell into water

I don't think he followed through on the posts, he should try and make a follow up

biznus:
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

biznus:
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

biznus:
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.

and we're not expecting the 6gb RAM variant.

Just manage the one you've been given

Bundex:
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.
(I don't use note 7 o, just speaking from an experience I had)

dukeo:

waec mistakes on date of birth, names or age on the Waec result or certificates can be rectify, corrected and the candidates will be issuing another certificate.

what's the process?

kallmemrB:
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.
