Dear gurus in the house, I am currently torn between mi 8 lite and redmi note 7.

Looking for:
- great camera (both primary and secondary camera)
- great battery (should at least last 24hours on regular usage. I spend average of 7 hours a day on phone)
- great responsiveness (lagging in phones annoy me)
- at least android pie and should be guaranteed to get the next version of Android
- dedicated SD card slot

My budget is capped at 80k (this Hopefully should include the accessories)

Advice please...........

Thanks.

PS: if there is any other brand that beats the above two phones in terms of value for money, kindly feel free to suggest that. Thanks.

Both available on Pre-Order: https://www.nairaland.com/5011636/special-nairaland-offer-own-redmi

You can't go wrong with any of the two , but be prepared to do with hybrid SIM slot
Thanks.
Permit my asking.....
If you are presented with both as gift and told to choose only one of them, which would you go for and why?

Thanks alot.
I can sacrifice the dedicated SD slot requirement.

But please permit me to ask what advantages the redmi note 7 has over the mi 8 lite. The only advantage I have seen is that it seems to be stronger and more rugged, that is the glass.
Whereas the mi 8 lite seems to support more network bands.


Bigger battery,"trendy" design, QC 4.0, seems to have a better camera on paper.

No particular reason but since Chinese product is meant for China nd global for rest of the world

Noted but it may be wise to know the differences as well...One version may be preferable to another depending on your preferences... For example I use Chinese Rom cos of likely FASTER updates...

Hmmm! Dilemma. I have the Mi 8 lite 6/128 which I use because of band 28 and was gotten at very cheap price but the Redmi Note 7 is better in other aspects. Bigger battery, better camera, infrared, FM radio, QC 4 and it is also built as a rock

Another thing is that RN7 definitely will have more support. Mi 8 lite is like an orphan

NB. MI 8 lite is not my primary device

O yes, when you are locked up in a hotel and they seem to think everyone loves watching CNN or African magic ....

Just get out your headset, turn on Bluetooth speaker and dial away........... (if anything at all, it's cheaper than streaming through Spotify or online radio stations)... grin

What can cause my keypad to be acting up? I thought it was because it was default app, but after installing another one, I will press something once it will slip to like 4 or 5. I just pressed 4 now, it turned tto 44.
