"While some people would feel safe by verifying the barcode, it can still be complicated when it comes to identifying an original Xiaomi charger.

Why? Because even the fake can be imitated when it comes to barcode.

As for some people, they may rely on the heaviness, which may not be totally bad. But you know what? Fake can be imitated by using an iron that makes it weigh heavier.

This is why, based on what I've come to notice (and still observing), if you want to be close to "I am sure it's the original", pay close attention to these 2 things;

1, sharpness of the font (REMINDER: not just the type, but sharpness
2, colour code (hint: the orange colour of the originals are usually light, not deep)

Meanwhile, as for the best method, in case you still find it hard to differentiate, is to ask a vendor who's reliable. Reliable is that he or she has deep knowledge about that product + willing to let you know if it's original and if it's fake.

Do you get it?"

It may be either of the two. I would advise you monitor the situation for two days to see how it performed
I did a factory reset and the problem was there.

Took it to an engineer who told me it was not battery issue or virus but flex abi panel (something on the battery).

Redmi phones are good.

Hello guy's good morning

shateemah:
Good morning guys, please suggest a xiaomi phone for me with a 400k budget. I saw advert of xiaomi 13 pro, is it a good phone to have in 2026?
Buy the new Redmi Note 17 5G 8/256. Mi 13pro is old phone of 3-4 years ago.

You mean Redmi note 13pro, because there was never a Mi 13 pro.

Modified : I see, you actually meant Xiaomi 13 pro. The Redmi note 17 pro you are referring is no match for the Xiaomi 13 pro. As a matter of fact, I currently use a Xiaomi MI 10 which is far superior to the Redmi note 17 pro in every area except in the battery department. The Xiaomi 13 pro is a better buy by a mile provided you can get hold of one that has not been compromised. Just know you are getting the battery replaced very soon, that's the only con.

Warning! If you currently own a Redmi note 13 pro, the Redmi note 17 pro will feel like a downgrade. The Redmi 17c is already a downgrade from the 15c, 14c and 13c.

My own Oppo reno8 is lying dead right here on my table. I've gone to OPPO service center at Ikeja but they couldn't help me.

Avoid Oppo phones if you can

Wow wonderful. This aspect of repairability is my fear sha. I handle phones very carefully and they hardly fall from my hands but then again what if I get a defective unit. Then a repair would be next to impossible. What about the camera department and speed?
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Crumbian: 7:55am On Aug 31
Guys, I have a redmi 9T that I've trying to upgrade since I bought it. I recently discovered the reason why it won't accept the OTA update is because the phone is actually a Chinese version of redmi 9T which is called redmi note 9 4G. It is a phone meant for the Chinese market but global rom was somehow flashed on it.


Now, I need your suggestions on what to do to be able to upgrade it to at least android 11. There's nothing wrong with the phone I just need the wireless debugging which is not available on android 10.


Any help will be much appreciated

Was actually looking forward to the note 17 line up but the note 13 pro is just a complete device in every aspect.

I would say you should focus on getting a new device. The stress of doing this change on a device that is out of support isn't worth it.

All those service centers, many of them don't even know what they are doing. I think apart from being overpriced, the quality of Oppo phones are on par with Xiaomi.

The Xiaomi Variants is way different from the Redmi Note variants, don't confuse them together. Redmi are Midrange devices while Xiaomi (XX) Variants are pure flagships

I fully understand this, that was not what i was comparing btw
