Xiaomi/redmi Is Now Rubbish by Serendipity2023(op): 7:39am On Nov 23, 2025
I have been trying to get a new device capped at 750k price max

I went to Computer village Lagos yesterday and checked
Xiaomi 13t,
Xiaomi 14t;
Redmi note 13 pro,
Redmi Note 14.
The camera of Note 10 pro and Note 11 pro+ of 2021 beat all of them.



Walked from from Idowu Lane, to Olayeni to Kodeosho streets of computer village.

Spent over 4 hours on these.

People around there, even the sellers were shocked.

Xiaomi is now rubbish.💔

I disappointed.


I am disappointed.

The bold part is not true

I always advice anyone who has used the legendary Redmi note 10 pro to move straight to the poco X pro series, poco F series and Xiaomi series. Stop using any Redmi series if you have ever used Redmi note 10 pro.

Your 750k (add small change) should get you poco F7 Ultra. Now that's a flagship killer phone!

I was looking at 14t pro or 15t

but I tested 14t and 13t and was disappointed.

Even redmi note 11 pro+ was better in camera and I need very very good camera.

Whoa!

Are you saying that Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G is also not good enough?


And I've been eyeing that curved-screen phone all year oh...

I didn't say Redmi note 14 pro + 5G isn't a good device. I said if you've used Redmi note 10 pro, move to poco X pro, F series and Xiaomi series.

For example, do Redmi note 14 pro + 5G VS Poco X7 pro on Google and see what I'm talking about.

Note that Poco X7 pro is like 80k cheaper.

If camera is top on your list, I'll suggest Xiaomi series for you. Xiaomi 12, 13 (pro or ultra) should be within your budget. Check this thread "Xiaomi thread store" in technology market and make your choice.

If you want to spend that much money on a phone it's better to buy iPhone. Just make sure you check the settings and that screen or battery hasn't been replaced and also ensure battery percent is above 90%

settings, general, about phone. If any part has been replaced it will show there. For instance "unrecognized display parts" or battery or camera. If there's no such info there it means it hasn't been replaced

Even ordinary Redmi Note 11's camera beat that of the Note 10 Pro's hands down.

I don't believe you, chief
Re: Xiaomi/redmi Is Now Rubbish by liveyourlife007(m): 3:59am On Nov 24, 2025
If you are buying phone cos of Camera then go for iPhone. .but if it's for productivity, performance go for Xiaomi 17 pro

I sell Chinese version Xiaomi phones with Google Services Preinstalled, it's Google Certified with the ability to get rid (uninstall) of 96% of the Chinese apps it came with and yes, it supports English Language.

PROS
- Premium and Upgraded Hardware components (having used Xiaomi products for 10 years now, I can assure you I'm right by this and can provide you instances should you care to know)
- The most secured MIUI/HyperOS firmware with the least bloatware (Xiaomi has 4 major types of firmware for their mobile phones, namely: China, India, Europe and Global Firmware. It's not hard to understand why their version is the best smiley)
- A complete specification award bundle (In 2020 when Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 9 series, none of them is provisioned with 5G, at the time, I started using the Chinese version of Redmi Note 9 Pro which has 5G and the ordinary version of the Redmi Note 9 also has 5G... Fast forward to today, Redmi Note 14 and 14 Pro doesn't have 5G, only Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has 5G... It's same they did with Redmi Note 13 series)

CONS
- Doesn't support eSim (I don't know the technicality to this but it keeps surprising me that this happens but then, I think esim should only come with phones with just one SIM port, all Xiaomi phones comes with dual SIM ports.)
- Doesn't support Android Auto (if you own a smart car with Android Auto enabled and need to mirror your phone to your car play head for navigation and or play multimedia, it doesn't support it)
- Requires a savvy setup (to minimize bumping into Chinese characters to 2% on weekly usage, a proper setup had to be made, infact... You'll first need to activate Google services to be able to access Google Play Store and other Google apps but things are a lot easier when you set it up using Mi Mover i.e, use your old device to set it up the new one by moving your files and settings from your old phone to the new phone)

STOCKS AVAILABLE
RN 13 (5G, 8GB Ram, 128GB Rom) - ₦280,000
RN 13 Pro (5G, 8GB Ram, 256GB Rom) - ₦390,000
RN 15 Pro (5G, 8GB Ram, 256GB Rom) - ₦520,000

I have been using Chinese version Xiaomi phones since 2016 and everyone I've convinced to patronize it have no regret, I personally possess over 20 Xiaomi products to power my smart home, I have Xiaomi Smart TV, Xiaomi Smart Fan, BLE Gateway Speakers, Smart Band (watch), Smart Sockets, Smart Switched, Smart Bulbs, etc. I can supply and install these too on demand and in Chinese version. You're welcome to join me!
