Yes it's showing but that charging fast of a thing is theme dependent sha as it doesn't show on my present theme but because of ur curiosity and being too inquisitive grin, I changed to default theme and one other theme which both showed. But I think the surest way to know if it's fast charging is to check out for the quick charge sign close to the battery icon on the drop down menu. Hope am correct with my assertion.

Now to the argument proper. The quote up there just about sums up why k 20 fans believe their device is superior.

I've separated them into 2
1. The critical
- processor
- battery

2 (what in my mind I call"irrelevancies"wink but for the purpose of this argument I call "add ons"
-design
-radio
-earphone jack
-newness ( in reality, this is what shacks them)

I'll be examined the points one by one per post
If a phone have all these over another, what doesn't make it better than the other?
PS: the mi 9t is just new,the price is yet to drop,so comparing its price to the already fallen price of the 9se is biased
So if its se u can get,be happy and hold your peace,instead of saying it better than what it isn't, xiaomi aint stupid, people buying 9t over se ain't mad .
You base your argument on your personal preference while others base their own on general preference.
I personally like 9se for its compact size,but i can't say its better than mi 9t,when am not blind

Just download the GCam and use, if you want to play around with the settings, it should be personal. You can join Lavender groups on telegram too. But depending on the MOD Gcams from BSG don't really need extra settings to use them.

Drop the telegram links please

I'll be examined the points one by one per post

Let's start with processor, no doubts, everyone knows which device wins here but then, this is sd730 Vs Sd 712, the difference ain't noticeable in everyday use . Nobody can tell the difference by handling both devices you need to check the specs before you can tell .

Even then, this is still comparing the same 7** series chipset, it's not like comparing 7** and 8**.

Let's face it, there is nothing you throw at the730 that the 712 cannot also take. I challenge you to name one task the k20 will handle better than the mi 9 SE.

People talk about gaming, the truth is hardcore gamers will always go for SD 855 nothing less will do. It's just like laptops, hardcore gamers go for Gaming laptops while the everyday user go for something less.

In truth, is" Actually anything 675 or above is fast nowadays, the chips has gotten so good these days even tht mid-range ones are not being fully utilized to they do potential in most tasks. The major difference has always been the GPU but I have yet to found a game that the 675 doesn't play well at decent graphic settings" https://amp.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/c06gfg/sd730_vs_sd855/

In summary I'll borrow a quote from one of the k20 fans here:

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by godspeed: 1:21pm On Jul 20, 2019
The second point is:

Battery

Here, we also know who wins, 3070ah Vs 4000mah. But in the smart phone world, this doesn't tell the whole story. Phones, particularly chipset, always have their way of optimizing power, the SE has a much smaller screen and can optimise it's battery. The battery on this full lasts a full day on a single charge, tell me is that not good enough? And it's not as if the 4000mah lasts for 2days.

Again, premium brand like Apple and Samsung have Less than 4000mah on their flagship and nobody is complaining though those phones do more processes than the k20.

Samsung M30 has a 5000mah battery,are you going to choose it above the S10 with 3400 man?

Even Xiaomi mi 9 has 3300mah, are u going to choose the k20 over it?

Of course, I understand the consideration in the above scenarios are much more than battery, but at least that still proves a point that a better battery does not tell the whole story.

The funny thing is, no matter the capacity of ur battery, people still carry power banks around.

Design

This is a no brainer, the design of the SE is far better than the K20, thank God genius has posted a link that settles that, besides the k20 looks so ugly at least from the back while the SE looks so premium both front and back.

I'll still post a YouTube link by a k20 fan who concedes the mi 9 SE has better design

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by godspeed: 1:22pm On Jul 20, 2019
So much for the significant points, now let's move on to the irrelevances Add ons

Radio

I'll give the same response I gave earlier,


that is exactly why u don't need radio on ur phone, cos there is internet radio!
I presume u have DSTV at home and I'm sure u are aware it has awesome radio stations, how many times have you ever tuned to them?

Remember those phones of 10 years ago that have television, why is there no brand putting television on their phones today?

Talking about radio in the smartphones of 2019 is so ridiculous, the premium brands apple and Samsung have removed it from their phones for not less than five years, I doubt even if apple had the feature right from time.

Sincerely, if I'm to choose between two phones of exact same spec and maker, say Nokia 6 and one has a radio and the other doesn't, believe me that will never influence my decision, in that case it's the colour that will decide.

Like I said earlier, I asked my colleagues in the office if anyone still listens to radio on there phones and they were all stunned.

Believe me the radio feature is also going the way of the television feature

Earphone jack

Another ridiculous feature in 2019, something iPhone have ditched for 5 years. Who cares about that? But if you do, the mi 9 SE comes with an adaptor and an earpiece. I didn't even remove them from the carton.

Newness

Yes, I know this is your biggest point, it's newer, then it better than the"older" phones. Following that logic, I guess ur beloved K20 is better than the mi 9.

Like I said earlier, I seriously considered buying the mi 8 of last year what swayed me towards the mi 9 SE is basically the size and I have been wowed by it since

Bros cool down, no need to rush. We have the whole weekend to settle this and I'm gonna thrash all ur points one by one systematically.

@ the bolded, yes margin. Margin nobody can tell the difference in real time. And if gaming and video editing is what u value most in a phone, then your choice is simply an sd855 device, you just can't settle for less.

At the second bolded, that is exactly why u don't need radio on ur phone, cos there is internet radio!
I presume u have DSTV at home and I'm sure u are aware it has awesome radio stations, how many times have you ever tuned to them?

Umm, i actually listen to dstv radio nearly 20% of the time. Just saying. Some of us still listen to it.

I also think fm radio is stupid (Internet radio exists, hello!) but my weird sister likes the stupid thing. I guess there are other ppl like her

Mi9 se isn't better than the mi 9t.
This is a madgoat argument that will surprisingly end in the mi 9se defender buying a mi 9t down the road anyway.

SE is a better fit for some but overall it's a step below or on par with the 9t, depending on who u ask.
haven't used dem but I'm hoping i can trick ur minds to just accept it n stop running around in circles

You are running around in circles.

The Redmi K20/Mi 9T Vs Mi 9SE stick to it.

Since you want to deviate let me educate you.

Battery life of any phone is dependent on factors which include Battery size, battery optimization, battery efficient processor and sometimes the UI it runs on.

Back to the Mi 9 SE Vs Mi 9T/K20

Do you think if the both phones have the same battery the Mi 9SE will out last the K20 despite its smaller display? Not really.

Why? The SD 730 is more power efficient than the SD 712 thanks to the 8nm process the formal employs.


If battery don't matter, why did people prefer the S10+ to the regular S10?
And if you don't know the S10 + is the flagship from the S10 line up.

You are basing battery size on S10, is S10 the only flagship you look up to or is it the golden boy of all flagships? No. Let me run down a list of flagship devices of 2019 and see if your analysis is not wrong.

Huawei P30 pro - 4200mah
Asus ZenFone 6Z - 5000mah
Lenovo Z6 pro - 4000mah
OnePlus 7 pro - 4000mah
Sony Xperia 1 -3300mah
Xiaomi Mi 9 - 3300mah
Samsung S10 + - 4100mah
Honor 20 Pro -4000mah
Redmi K20 Pro - 4000mah.

Can you now see that the trend is changing.

Don't be bias and blind in arguments
