officialfestus:
is that how mangoes look like in sa?

Yes but there are different kinds of them even though they still look similar

miracood:
u're from?

Who on Earth doesn't know bitter kola?

South Africa my brother.

saint2ace:
He was asking if the picture was of a bitter kola fruit or another fruit entirely....

A mango fruit, it is their season down here in South Africa

Mustiboy:
Do you want to sell your Note 8?

Nope I'm not selling and the device is still new, I got it on the 24th of October.

I'm in South Africa

Indeed this was a mature debate.
And tbh all these two brands are great. I have used Umidigi A3 but now I'm using Redmi Note 8.

chariisGRACE:
Bitter kola?

I'm not from around here so I don't understand anything you said brother.

Can u rephrase in simple English?

RN8

If you have already downloaded keep the file, once you get an OTA and it carries the same version number use the already downloaded one.

I will kindly do that sir and thank you!

starlightRR:
.
Same here....any way out?

No way out. Let's just wait for OTA update

genius43:
NB: This is stable Beta download fast before it is gone and if it doesn't work for you keep the file, if the wider rollout remains the same it will still work. Before you blame anyone of wasting your data.

How to manually update..

Go to Settings > About phone > System update.

If tapping the 3-dot button shows the “Choose update package” option, click on that and choose the downloaded ROM from your internal storage or SD card. In case you don’t find the “Choose update package” option from the 3-dot menu, tap on the MIUI 11 logo inside the “System update” page several times. A prompt will then show that additional updater settings are now available. Now you can tap on Choose update package and select the MIUI 11/12 update file

That’s it. The system will start decrypting the file and install it automatically for you. Wait for it to finish the process, which may take 10-30 mins

Data should be on during the decryption process

I got a message that I can't update to this stable package

Redmi Note 8 GCam

Screenshot since the file was too large

shedy03:
What was ur last phone, what's its size?

Huawei Y5(2019)

festwiz:
That's a good upgrade. I would've recommended a RN9 but the RN8 is still a solid device.

I wanted a Snapdragon device and I found RN9s too big for my liking.

I just got myself a Redmi Note 8 today from Huawei Y5

Jemerson:
At least they can rest now

It is for Redmi Note 8T not the regular RN8 but this only means that MIUI for the latter will be out anytime from now!

MIUI 12 for RN8T

Most of the specs are nice but HD+ screen is a no go area for me. You simply can't pair 6Gb Ram and 128GB ROM with an HD+ screen, it doesnt make sense at all.

jikins:
For who it may concern. MIUI 12 is live on redmi note 7 EEA version. It hasn't been pushed to the normal system updater app in settings though. But it was shared on the official miui updates telegram group.

Hoping MIUI 12 for RN8 is also on the way. I'm going to get the device on Saturday.

maclawrence02:
I've posted it here severally.

Thank you, I will check previous pages.

maclawrence02:
Most of my shots are taken with gcam installed on my rn7. Some are not edited while some are edited with snapseed, lightroom or Airbrush, sometimes i use all three, two or one of them depending on what I'm hoping to achieve. Ive always indicated which is edited and which is not. That been said i can only speak for my device cos I've never used rn8. I'm very my ok with my devi e.

Now these are beautiy! Which version of GCam did you you use?

Engrkawu:
Thanks... But what other caMera will you recommend for this device. I mean a good camera app

Try the recent GCam Go app with Night Mode

aysnoopy:
Can hypercam &/or gcam work on Redmi 9C now?

Redmi 9C is a 32 bit device so it doesn't support GCam even though Camera2APi is enabled.

nafisu:
try NGCam_7.4.104-v.1.6 not v. 1.7

Or he can try this one, I saw it on one of the reviews on YouTube

It is Greatness GCam 7.3 v. 2.1

.

I have been following this thread for about a year or so now.
I have fell in love with RN8, I have also watched more than 20 reviews of the phone and I can say that it ticks all the boxes for me.
But recently RN9 got released and they are in the same price range but I have noticed that the latter runs on MediaTek G85 SoC while the former runs on Snapdragon 665.
I like taking pictures a lot and I'm not into gaming. So I have noticed that even RN9 does support GCam so I want to know how is the GCam output of RN9 compared to RN8.
I will be buying a new phone on the 24th of this month.

Which is the better phone overall?

festwiz:
Does the P30 Lite come bundled with GMS?

Yes

ddjay:
