It has not been pushed to Nigerians yet. If you change your region to Mexico, you should get it.

For me, I updated by downloading the full rom from the miui downloads website (about 1.7GB) and then flashed via the updater app.


It's bn in Nigeria...
I have bn on it for at least a week

RN8 should be better. If you could afford the 6/128Gb version of RN8 better. I just hope they make all variants Global
Global version or global rom?

Research proves that, CN version+global rom is more durable than global version

Wat can u say abt dis?

Not Google certified, you have to Sideload Google APPs. Also Chinese version comes with lesser LTE bands than the Global Version.

All he does is wait for someone to complain about his phone or a negative said about the brand, then you'll see him with all his I told you guys stuff.

What's most baffling is, there are so many ignorance in his post. You no know but you no wan learn if someone correct you. Na to use English try justify him fallacy him sabi.
Who get time for grammar?
I've two friends here(they are brothers tho) one na Sammy freak and the younger one na iPhone freak. the Sammy guy can't recommend Sammy for anybody except the person wanted Sammy by force, most of us knw the reasons. And for the iPhone guy, he's planning of switching to android, u won't understand his reasons until u have like abt 1k whatsapp contacts on an iPhone

Now to the price of the screen. Samsung supplies most of the amoled screens in the market. I was viewing this thread when someone complained that his LCD screen of his RN7 was bad and he took it to their newly opened service centre at ikeja. And they charged him more than the cost price.

I was also here when a pleasant person advised his brother to return his Mi9t because of cost of replacing the amoled screen. And unfortunately the screen of the RN7 despite being gorilla glass gave in some weeks after.

Now to hit the nail on the head. Amoled screens cost far more than average screens. It is a well known fact it is not a Particular Samsung issue. It is just how it is. Two amoled 32 inch screens at home got broken. Cost of replacement was going to be more than the cost price. Its common to amoled screens
Just to be clear it was mi a3 that was returned not mi9t. my elder brother broke his phone screen during an argument with my younger sister when he was bragging how his newly acquired rn7 can and had withstood high level drops without a case or tempered glass (he had succeeded in pulling the stunt in his office which I cautioned him about) it was on the third try that the screen cracked (the floor was tiled) because my younger sister kept on telling him that the height was not high enough. You can get good replacement screen from aliexpress between 10-12k.

They are except you find yourself in areas where MTN only has band 20 installed. And you can't use Smile.

As for side-loading it's not much of a big deal but in anytime you reset your phone you have to do it again. Sometimes the side-loaded apps misbehave but you will get a hold of it.

Good, I suspected as much. Because Xiaomi Nigeria where asking the product that should be released next on their Twitter page.

I guess they would be launching both RN8 and RN8 Pro in Nigeria

These people are confused gaskiya, what's the need for a successor again. The k series should have been an ideal replacement for Poco. Smh.

Yes one 1tb( also known as terabyte), I do know that other brands will not recognize a memory card that is more than 250 gb
Since I like ur wahala, even the Lenovo Z6 Pro dey support up to 1 terabyte, some other devices dey even support up to 2 terabyte since last year, so wetin special? Hope you don check the price of even a 512gig memory card? grin.

That was how I became a free marketer for Xiaomi and photographer in church today, everyone kept asking the name of the phone but gcam fell my hand sha, it kept crashing so I had to stick to stock camera and it still did a great job but the portrait is really messed up and couldnt focus, any way to improve it?



P.S I use the 3gb ram version and I've tried all gcam mods already even that of rn7pro still same crashing issue.

He's just placing unnecessary importance on micro SD cards.
I remember advising a potential client to go for OTG and Cloud backup instead of memory card as he emphasised on keeping important files on it, na that my advise drove am away till now. When you have a corrupt SD, it's always hard to get them recovered unlike OTGs/HDDs.
People should be guided and learn.
Is there a way to recover files from a damaged hard disk?

K20pro(mi9t pro)beats sammy note 10+ in speed test,both has same SD885 but different ram (8 and 12 respectively)though with most xiaomi phones the ram management wasn't great but compared to note 10+ it did great considering the 4gb difference
