Without a shadow of any doubt, you're 1000000% correct. See the mismanagement of the last launch for the RN10 Pro. The poor distribution of goods around the country. Poor presentation and arrangement during online launches amongst many other gaffes.

You're beyond correct sef. grin grin grin

Even wrong presentation of prices at launch. They had to take down all their initial posts and make correction.

Bunch of morons

The update has been rolled back. They have gotten the numbers they need for the phased rollout. Keep the file.
Thank God I backed it up and it is still in my download folder. So its still going to be installable sometime cos it is still present in the app where I got the file from. Thank you for your prompt response.

Please, if not others I really appreciated xiaomi for their coming to Nigeria because I discovered on time what transsion was doing on time that made me instead to go for belgium or london used premium brands such as lg g2, samsung s3, etc. I bought the brand new nokia e6 when symbian belle was still existing but as for androids, it was the belgium or london used premium android phones then, one problem I had then was battery backup wasn't great, sometimes network bands not matching plus bloatwares from vodacoms, orange, etc but I hated transsion right from time. My ever first brand new android phone was the redmi 6 pro, I can remember vividly how assured I felt at the balance strucked between the phone hardware quality, software and price. The picture below is the amulet or neck whatsoever that I proudly rocked then with the follow come charger of the redmi 6 pro. I dashed the phone out but see how solid and neat the amulet or whatever that thing is and the charger is still solidly working as I gave it to my cousin which he is using to charge his phone abandoning his own follow come charger of a phone he just bought last two weeks. I really love what xiaomi did to people like me, can't say for others but I know there are people who really appreciate the influx of xiaomi phones into Nigeria. They gave us a better and balanced options between the hoodlums transsion flooded the market with and the expensive vagabonds samsung and co wanted to murder average middle class people like us that wanted quality devices at affordable rates.

Fellow RN9 Pro geng. grin

Very few people will see it from this view point.

Two months ago, I was looking to sell my 9 Pro, add money and get the 10 Pro. Then I saw the A52, I whipped out my notepad and listed out the specs.

I was shocked. The RN9 Pro and the A52 had the exact same specs. Same SoC and same main camera resolution. The RN9 Pro has the bigger battery with faster charging. The A52 has waterproofing, OIS and better UW camera. The rest specs were based on personal preferences.

The thing surprised me. What shocked me most was the price of the A52. Ehn. Na so I hold my phone say I no dey sell again. The A52 made me appreciate Xiaomi even more. Xiaomi phones na giveaway abeg. The Miui software may not be the best, but who software epp. I'm a hardware guy. I don't even like One IU anyway.

You are not alone in the hardware gang of a thing, there is always something special that xiaomi will use to convince you that you are making the right choice, if it is not price, it will be the hardware, etc. Seriously I love their miui android flavor and launcher, I've never substituted for any other launcher and if not for very flimsy excuse and reasons I still prefer their default mi video and mi music apps to the km video player and power amp I purchased which I've ruined the sound quality with the numerous equalizer customizations, now am back to mi music app and just looking at the power amp. To me almost everything in this my note 9 pro is perfect that is why my body didn't shake to upgrade when note 10 pro arrived unlike me before, also I have this phobia for amoled screens cos am fond of breaking my screens and those are fuckin costly but when next am ready to upgrade, I'll find a way to love amoled screens cos they seem to be more aesthetic than lcd.

I've been using Xiaomi products for over 3 years because of MIUI. I don't get why people say they don't like the skin. I don't like One UI either, and I'm yet to see what people see in Stock Android. So bland and uninspiring

It is faster and since you are outside the warranty period cheaper.

Even if it the third-party is expensive. I will rather get my phone back to service within hours than have my phone spend weeks on queue in a service centre.

Thanks bro

Why you should use a 3rd party? Go to Raya, lay your complain, fill the form and wait weeks/months.

Good luck to you.

Oh! It's a screen issue and you're looking for service centre? You'll get the bill that will buy you a new phone. That's if they even have the LCD avail.

Thank you

Stock android is the worst especially with its inflexibility to customization. Miui has always been the best, loads and lots of themes, stable apps. Xiaomi have always being the right choice.

I had a Samsung a50 which was running on the lastest one ui 3.1

The only thing I like about Samsung is the way the render their icon's colour science... Nothing special about one ui for me

I have not owned a xiaomi device before but I admire miui a lot because I've read in GSMArena and I have seen how customizable it is in my friends phones

That said, humans are funny. Their is a guy that was using Redmi note 5 then he upgraded to Samsung a52. He said a52 is great but he still misses the app daily data check features on his redmi

Another, was a guy using Redmi 7 which he replaced with Samsung a52 saying that now he sees why Samsung is expensive.. I was like is this guy insane? How much is the redmi compared to the Samsung? Why not use mi 9t first?

Lastly was my friend who was using Samsung note 10. The note 10 screen got faulty then I adviced him to buy Redmi 10x 5g. The guy kept thanking me that he is only missing the pen in his formal note hence every other thing is the same yet the phone is very cheap

The last Android phone I used before I started using Xiaomi again was a Lenovo. The Lenovo was cheap, it was powerful enough, and it was fun to use; but the phone's Achilles heel was the bland "almost" stock Android experience. The phone's Android skin had zero customisability, coupled with Lenovo's abhorrence of updates. MIUI isn't perfect, but it is way better than stock Android "jail".
