Going by your 1st paragraph, you agree with me that Umidigi A3 is better value?.....

Umidigi A3 2/16, for under 21K (AE) or 28k9 (Jumia).... grin

Better value on paper but the heating issue makes it hard to recommend.

It gets hot faster than usual and feels like it could actually burn you while gaming/taking many photos/videos.

A3 and A3 Pro probably serve best as secondary phones and certainly not for phone pressers/addicts.

It was never sold mainly for gaming..... I have never snapped plenty videos or photos, so cannot confirm or deny........

How plenty is plenty ?.....

If one is taking plenty videos/photos, best to get dedicated devices for such purposes........

Have you done the latest updates on them. Cos the last one reduced the heating so it only gets hot while playing heavy online games. Even Gta sa Doesn't make the Phone get hot at all

Serious ? Is it a new sim or old one ?

It's new sim, I bought and register it at Computer village infront of 3chub in computer village. They have their stand there. Their staff is about 6 of them putting on their Ntel shirt.

I bought the sim #2000 and it comes with 7gig for a week and their service is the best so far. I am an IT Technician and when I do the speed test, wow it's beat all the network in Nigeria I swear down.

So since 3weeks now that I bought it, it has been working and super fast. I have a staff once I send money to her she will activate it for me within 10minutes.

The new rate now is as below...
1000--3gb
1800--4gb
3500--10gb(1month)

If you need her details request and I will give you her contact and Whatsapp number.

But sometimes you want the best display even if na to sacrifice small battery life.
But 1080p is great enough in its own way. In fact, I wouldn't want to pitch my tent with a device that substantially exceeds that 1080p screen resolution range.

Different stroke for different folks, am ok with 1080p but I wouldn't mind 2k resolution.

Well when i'm comparing 2 phone cameras, i have to take 50+ photos. When only one gets too hot and needs a break, you tend to notice these things.

Difference between a device reviewer vs device user........

I once took loads of pictures + videos on my Samsung Note 8, the camera app simply shut down, with an overheating warning message........

I can only state my experience on two devices I own. I have never snapped 50 photos/video on any of my Umidigi devices............

None of my Umidigi devices heats unnecessarily..........

thanks,
These two ROMs,does it affect availability of google Play store?
For instance,i have a friend who got a 3gb ram gionee device,most things are written in chinese and he dont have playstore,hence cant download apps,but only receives from other devices
you can get Google apps yourself, you just download and flash it in. Global rom, the main global rom, has gapps installed by sellers but every xiaomi phone doesn't have global Rom so be careful. The sellers will unlock the bootloader and flash in global rom with Google apps. Like I told you earlier, global Rom is in English while Chinese Rom won't have gapps and has sprinkling of Chinese through out your UI

saintkenny:

There's a find device app on Playstore. I've tried it on my Oneplus 6T. It seem good enough.
As for my stolen RN4, it's been offline since it's stolen. Possibly because they couldn't switch it on due to the bad battery or they couldn't unlock it.
However, a friend suggested that they may have wiped it and flash another ROM although I never unlock bootloader.
I don't think that another Rom can be flashed in when bootloader is still unlocked. Thanks by the way.

So for find device feature to work, data has to be on?
