I'm one of the earliest users of Xiaomi phones, since 2017, long before they became very popular in Nigeria. I used and dashed out Redmi Note 2, mi Max2, mi 9T and presently with Poco F3 which is the only phone with me since July 2021 (bought it 210K then). This phone has fallen heavily on hard surfaces over 20 times in the last 5 years without any issues. I've not been able to upgrade to my desired spec (Poco f7/8 or mi 12T because of the exorbitant price tag- close to 1.4milla

faceland:
I use to be an avid iTel user until my last phone purchase which was RedMi.

I think my next phone would be RedMi because there is evidence of Chinese government subsidy because the phone is too strong and advanced for the cheap price.

My RedMi falls and I just pick it up without looking and it has never ever freeze or hook.

Poco f7 in 2021? That should be F3 or 4

Greenodds:
Always been an iPhone and Samsung user until I used the Poco f7 back in 2021 never looked back. Xiaomi is value for money.

For improved camera qualities, go for the Poco or max T series. They are higher than the redmi series of Xiaomi Phones

MONEY247:
Nothing beats redmi phones..,

Just need to improve more camera...

The brand is Xiaomi Not Redmi which is one of the products

Obesity:
Itel and techno are not phone you should mention when they are talking about mobile phones.

Redmi is a brand that speaks loud

Even your almighty iPhone is produced in China and shipped to the US

Teymanhenry:
So It'll is not from China or what are you insinuating??

Techno, Infinix, Itel, Vivo,Opponents,vRedmi etc are all Chinese tech. Pin that

Kobojunkie:
Lots? How often do you change phones?😒

I change almost every three months. Especially immediately I can no longer create Gmail and new Facebook accounts

Charlie2020:

I think it was the F5

Kobojunkie:
44-trillion wey you fit confirm or the one you are manipulated into believing as such? 🫤🫤

China is the second-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the largest by PPP. It is also the number-one trading partner for more countries than any other country. This is a fact.

China’s manufacturing capacity exceeds that of the U.S., Germany, Japan, and India combined. This is also a fact.

China is a behemoth. You can have a problem with China, but that does not change the facts.

Hmmm

Still using Note 10, Redmi still needs to improve on its camera.

kaymart:
Note 12 pro is better than the 13 you have

I can't even argue that since I've seen the massive difference between 13 and 15.
I won't be surprised at all.

ironheart:
Xiaomi Remi series has dropped in quality, i have been using xiaomi since 2017and every year i get the next model because i felt they had good quality

I bought redmi note 14 pro, it had the worst camera features, worst screen i have ever used and above all worst audio quality. They peaked when they produced redmi note 10 pro. That was the best of them.

I bought the redmi bud 6 pro wireless earbuds, its been 8 months and now the battery drops from 100% to 5% in less than 2 hours

Iv never used it. But it seems fons like vivo have overtaken xaomi.

i guess so

FBIBOT:
Experienced same with my redmi 6 play earbud.... Battery suddenly pack up.... Funny thing is their Airdot earbud wasn't like that last time I used it.... Used it for 2years I think later gave it out

there quality stopped 2 years ago

IntelLord:
What model of Redmi is it?

Note 15

Nahunger:
Note 15

Ok

How would rate its performance so far (battery life, speed, camera quality, multi-tasking, browsing, gaming, etc)?

I am a fan of Tecno Spark Series. And can tell you for free that the Battery, camera, and overall functions are cool.

I love everything about this phone but I wonder why it doesn't support screen split

Greenodds:

2021 was for F3. I bought mine in July 2021, few months after it was launched

Camera is average, though I've not exploited the professional mode... The 48mp is good but not solid good.

Battery, 💯 solid, once xaiomi says it's 5000mah believe it, they have that reputation

Multitasking: is seamless, no lagging, you have an option of extending the ram from internal storage so, a 6gb ram can be extended to 12gb ram

Gaming: it's a snapdragon device so no issue.

Xaiomi phones are durable just make sure you are buying the Note series (variants)

Empresa:
I am already, I don't live in shit holes. Na you wey de export prayers and Revival I de pity.

Osheyyy. our valencia photographer. I greet

I see. Very helpful.

What about the stories of the phones lagging or freezing after using them for a while, or caller information not showing up when someone calls the phone? Experienced something like these?

1. Not experienced the lagging (Ram is 12gb, ROM is 128,
I only use 65gb, I don't allow the memory get full, I regularly clear cache, delete heavy files I no longer need, use the phone cleaner to clear junk files)

2. Caller information not showing up, I've definitely experienced that.

I simply uninstall the updates on two apps.
1. Phone
2. Contact

Sometimes I have to save numbers all over again.

I get regular Upgrade from xaiomi

Over rall it's the best transsion phone, better that the other 3 popular brands.

Okay. Thanks. Someone else (another Redmi user) has also complained about that issue of caller info not showing.

I thought it was an isolated issue. Very odd.

Quite odd

10000mAh on paper sounds impressive, but what really matters is real-world screen-on time. And charging at 100W every single day will eat into battery health within a year no matter what they claim. Also agree with ironheart — quality control has been sliding since the Note 10 Pro days. I'll wait 2-3 months for the street price to settle before deciding.

you ma see am ba? We need a proper consumer protection in Nigeria. We are paying more for less and its sad

10,000mAh ke? That number alone made me click 😅 … One rule I never break with new Redmi launches: don't buy in month one. Street price always drops 2–3 months after launch. That battery will still be 10,000mAh in January, but your pocket will feel the difference.
