How much is the 18W charger? And do I need to buy both the cord and head or I can buy just the head? My location is Port Harcourt.

PS: I don't use WhatsApp for now, so please clarify me here. Thanks.
Just the head will do as long as you still have your follow come cable.

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Reddington(m): 8:00pm On Nov 07, 2019
Reddington:
Helloooo RN5 pro EU fans, stable Miui 11 just dropped. I'll be updating tonight. I'm giving Pie another try just because of Miui 11. Anything funny, I port back to Oreo. Pie display colour is awful in my opinion, not to mention the inability to use Wi-Fi & Hotspot simultaneously.
Tonight it is! I'll review after 2 days of use.

Alright. It's been over 2 days since I got myself immersed in Miui 11, and like I promised, I'm gonna do a review. That way, fam members who are still on Miui 10 or lower versions will get to know what they're missing or not missing.

For a start, Miui 11 is packed with some fresh and eye-catching features. Honestly it still beats me why some persons here opined that Miui 10 and Miui 11 are more or less same. I don't get it. Pls allow me to guide you through the new additions on Miui 11:

UI Design.
Perhaps, the most noticeable change on Miui 11 is the new material UI design. Although icons/UI look minimalistic, it's very bold, colorful, crisp and stylish. That of Miui 10 ain't bad to be fair, but it lacks the crispness of Miui 11. Miui 11 made major changes in the general looks of Rom's UI starting from the boot logo.

Effects.
Another new stuff is the transition effects - to be fair, it's quite pleasing to the eye and makes the whole Miui experience elegant and enjoyable. You notice these effects while opening/closing apps, navigating through settings and toggling the drop-down menu switches. Very sweet.

Screen time.
Miui 11 is equipped with a very special feature called "screen time". Now, if you're on android 10, then there's a big chance you already know about this. "Screen time" is very similar to Google's "Digital Wellbeing" feature (I personally think Xiaomi copied this from Google). This new feature basically tracks your activities, giving you an alarmingly detailed info on how much time you spend on your phone (daily, weekly, monthly), the time is further narrowed to apps, giving you precisely how much time you spend on each app. It even lets you set daily screen time limits for apps, individually. That way, you can control your addiction to certain apps and focus on more relevant things. I think this's a fantastic feature. It's one of my favorites.

Font.
Miui 11 also has a new font feature called "font weighting". It essentially helps you to adjust the boldness of your font without changing the individual font. Also, a new font (MilanPro) was introduced, and it's actually a nice font. Although it has a striking resemblance with Google's font, "Google Product Sans" - makes me wonder if Xiaomi got their inspiration from there..

Game Turbo. Quick Replies.
Good news for gamers. With major improvements, the Game Turbo feature is also available on Miui 11 under Settings - > special features. It optimizes the phone's RAM & GPU and readies it for any game, ensuring optimal game performance. There is also a new feature called "quick replies" which helps you to conveniently send instant replies on supported apps.

Status Bar.
Status bar icons such as network bars appear to have been reduced in size on Miui 11. Network Type symbols such as H+ or 4g now sits on top of the the network bars rather than the sides as the case was on Miui 10. Also, the 4g symbol disappears when you turn off the data (creating space for more icons) and reappears when data is turned on. This wasn't the case with Miui 10.

Battery.
The battery performance on Miui 11, in my opinion, is better than that of Miui 10. No lies - I was able to squeeze out a couple more minutes (somewhat 40 - 55 mins). I use RN5 pro - so it's very possible that the performance may vary across other models. Thus, my assessment is not definite.

To spare you some time reading this annoyingly long post, there're some other noteworthy additions to Miui 11 which I'm not gonna explain further. They include:

* Improved Calculator (calculator now supports picture-in-picture feature)
* Drop-down menu toggle button for Dark mode.
* New dynamic sound effects.
* Blur app preview (lets you blur apps on the "recent" menu)
* MiShare (Similar to Apple's Airdrop. For sharing apps/files seamlessly)
* Improved file manager (I still prefer the file manager on Miui 10 tho)
* Ambient Display (Doesn't work as I use RN5 pro)

Not sure if I'm missing anything, but these are some changes I was able to spot. The display colour I complained about on Pie is still there, but there is a slight improvement. TBH, with all the features on Miui 11, I'm not sure I'll be moving back to 10. It's just too much to ignore. grin
The guys complaining about Miui 11, especially the ones planning do downgrade, I wonder if they're aware of all these features or simply chose to ignore them. Miui 11 is a masterpiece and it should be forward ever, backward never. It can only get better.
Huge thanks to Xiaomi & to whoever came up with the idea of opening this thread. I bless the day left Sammy for Xiaomi.

Miui for mi a3?
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Youngsage: 8:15pm On Nov 07, 2019

At 178.8G how is Mi A3 heavy?

You forget that the Redmi Note 8 uses a glass protection and glass does not reduce the weight of a device.

Well to be honest and specific, I'm not actually bothered about the weight as I am about the width/thickness... I handled them and wasn't quite impressed.

Especially the Note 8. Too thick!!

I think Redmi 8 is the heaviest.. Maybe cos of battery Sha.. Wanted to get note 8 for my lady from macbeyland.. She rejected it cos my redmi 8 was too heavy...

I have heard so many ppl talking about heating issue on redmi 8 pro while gaming but now I need more reviews on redmi 8 variant especially on gaming.
You're mixing everything up. The only heating complaint was on redmi note 8 pro which uses mtk chip, and it's exaggerated.
