Hey guys, check out my RedMi A3 review


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqnC1xiUFA

You said the Camera Sony IMX 586 48Mp Sensor is not sharp sorry you still have a lot of work to do.

ItyP and DlawTECHY is it not the same A3 you reviewed here?

And it is pronounced Me(Mi) and not M I.

You also need to improve on tech knowledge if you want to be a tech reviewer.

Have you seen a phone with that style of notch(See Drop or Water Drop) with a selfie flash?

When last did you even get selfie flash on a flagship camera?

Your photography skills need sharpening.

Even Indians that complain of everything don't complain of Mi A3 Main Camera Sensor.

GCam even dey to help if you no Sabi snap picture.

Your review was appalling and lacked depth.

My apologies if you feel offended but that is the plain truth

Lol, if you have the time, read the last 100-200 pages of this thread. From my understanding, you shouldn't just air your own opinion alone, you should verify what is being said by others using the phone as well.

You said it's the first phone from Xiaomi running Android One! That's a NO. If you had read people's post like I mentioned earlier you'll know that all the Mi A series runs stock android. Hence, we still have A1 & A2 before A3.

For the camera, a lot of people has testified to the fact that they've been crowned *chief photograghers* in their departments and offices because of this same phone yet you say the cameras aren't up to par with the likes of TECNO - Like are you for real?

It's an established fact that Xiaomi phones don't come with an *earpiece* out of the box so you don't need to fuss about it.

You said you're not tech savvy but if you had taken time out to READ!, Your review would have been better.

And it's better called a durability test dear not strength test.

Nice try though, you'll get better but try to read things up first.

From my point of view based on the review that o got on YouTube concerning [b][/b]REDMI NOTE 8 PRO,
I think the phone is more powerful and sweeter than the regular[b][/b]NOTE 8,it can handle absolutely everything thrown at it because of the chipset but the low key there is the MTK G90T built on 12nm which tends to get hot on extreme settings on hrs of gaming.
As for the battery life (4500mah)on paper but in reality it hardly matches other 4000 capacity ba3 because the mtk that was embedded on it isn't known for power efficient,
I saw a video where it was pit against other phones with 4000mah,even 3800 yet note 8 pro ran out of juice long before them about 5hrs+ SOT compared to others 7 to 9hrs+ SOT.
so know what you want and go for it,
More importantly its your money and choice
it doesn't get hot but warm. There's a difference. BTW, every phone slated to do heavy tasks gets warm. Don't victimize the note 8 pro. Lol

Nairalanders I Hail Thee...

Its quite unfortunate that most of the people who sometimes dismiss some phones have never seen or used some phones they dismiss...
Its only on nairaland some people using Redmi 5 note will be dismissing Redmi 8 note because they did use a processor that doesn't please them...

Also you see people reviewing phones they have no clue about or even know anything about the brand...


One thing have come to understand through my Journey thru series of phones and brand is paper reviews and Hands on reviews are totally different and also a one time Hand-use of a phone can't expressly review the full functionality of the Phone...

So Redmi note 8 uses MTK So who cares.... You ain't as brilliant as the phone manufacturer they clearly know what they were doing... HAUWEI Y7prime came with SD450 some say that processor is too low.. Damn it who forking cares.. Most of the people using the Sd450 HY7 prime are happy with battery optimization and comfortable with the Phone.... Its plays soccer and PUG

To the New User's Of Xiaomi there are some trusted peeps you can listen to but there are some that aint worth it.. Someone that is still on Redmi 5, is claiming pro on Redmi 8 why should u listen to that


My Advice is make Yr research on the phone of your chose not only on GSM arena or Nairaland.. Make sure it suits your taste and go for it...

80% of the people on Redmi note 7 here only bought it for Games and camera nothing more..gcam can even make redmi note 3 looks awesome tho

Don't waste money on a device you don't need because people said it.. Follow your pocket and heart

Bro calm down, you're still dragging this argument. The both of you were right in your arguments, but where you failed to understand was that the person wanted to know which one had a better processor. Nobody said the redmi 8 wasn't a good phone, it was based on the person's first priority. I don't know why you're still dragging this issue, it was a mare debate.
Besides the genius43 uses a note 5, you shouldn't try to rubbish his opinion based on that, he has been helpful to numerous people here. Don't be like those pained ex's.
You both won , cheers

Hello everyone. Please i have a question.. I just installed a custom rom on my phone for the first time ever. I just read some guides on the internet and i followed and i was able to get it done and now its working perfectly. Now my question is, later on if i wanna install another custom rom or upgrade the current one, would i have to wipe the whole system again like i did this first time? I'm worried about losing all my Apps and setups again in the process. I'm presently running on Android 9 and i believe Android 10 version will be released for the phone pretty soon.

Secondly, whenever i am putting on the phone, it first brings a page where it says my phone is unlocked, phone will start in 5 seconds blablabla before it now takes off the page and then goes to the page of the real startup {lineageOs startup}. Is it normal to first be seeing that thing whenever i put the phone on? I was thinking it would just show the startup straight. Thanks in anticipation

I guess you're a bit new to the thread, some of the people complaining about it have been using Xiaomi for years now before people started hearing about it here, and based on something similar that had happened in the past they're drawing people's attention to it so that no one will say they weren't warned. If you've been on the thread long enough you'll have seen when one or 2 persons come back pointing fingers saying they weren't informed about a certain thing. The more reason why people's attention are drawn to what ever might lay ahead of them.

Please for your own good put sentiments aside and learn from debates, nobody is all knowing.
We're all learning that's why you see solutions are given to over 80% of what ever issue arises.

Have a wonderful day

Guy, why are you like this na?

It's a fact that unlocking bootloader, using a Chinese rom makes Playstore to show that a device is uncertified.

The reason why yours I showing certified is that you are using Magisk with safetyNET.

Whenever you want to prove a point, do so well, stating what and what you did else you'll misinform people. Especially those on stock ROM, with locked BL having the issue of device not certified.

They'll think something is wrong with their phone. Not knowing you used Magisk to bypass safetyNET on yours.

Lol, you really exposed him there. I always wonder why most people that use tweaks and mods feel like they've super powers.

It's not like they were even the ones that wrote the code for the tweak undecided
