Yeah thanks, there's been no update on their website either for a while now. Although I noticed a discrepancy. On the 27th of March, NIPOST website showed that it was already at IMPC. By Monday the 30th, its only the EDI-received record that was there and its been that way till now. Bear in mind that the lockdown was announced that same Monday night.

Any chances it could have been moved from IMPC to Ikeja Post Office? Someone commented on a thread and said he saw NIPOST bus in operation today.

EDI simply means Electronic Delivery Information. It started with the pandemic instead of exchange of papers, sorting is done electronically to minimise human contact.

Alright thanks. How about the discrepancy I mentioned. The records of my package being at IMPC but now that record isn't there anymore.
My brother got his package already also but if I track his, it shows the same EDI-received. Meanwhile, his package is with him already.

hehehe... Infinix's new flagship. In the past I'd have been excited and would have contemplated shelling out 90k for an MTK G70 device with those specs. God forbid bad thing sha.

It depends on the phone. That is not how it works. Redmi Note 5 will receive MIUI 12 still based on Android 9 that it received few months before MIUI 11 was received.

So if we are to go by your analogy does it mean all devices currently running Android 10 on MIUI 11 will automatically get the unreleased android 11 as MIUI 12 is rolled out?
I understand that some older device will get the MIUI 12 as a skin release on their current Android version but MIUI 12 is based on Android 10 and that's just what i want to be clear about.

Simply type IPS LCD vs AMOLED on your Google... Then tell us what you see.

I'm aware of Google's existence.
That was why I said based on "personal experience"

Does it come with SD 720G chipset? It's not just the design that the 9s waiters are looking forward to

Personally I think it all boils down to luck. Both issues you highlighted above affect both screen techs respectively. AMOLED screens suffer burn-in while LCD screens suffer screen bleeding. Much like you've the back axle vs front wheel drive debates in cars.

But then a person may see an issue manifest in his screen even unboxing his device while another will use same model for donkey years without any issues whatsoever.

Thanks for the explanation
I think at the bolded says it all and a lil' bit of care, too.

its too expensive because at 90k you can get Redmi Note 8 Pro or Redmi Note 9s that is far better than the Note 7.

MIUI 12 is not based on Android 10, MIUI 11 had most android 10 features

Amoled over LCD anytime.
As someone who reads a lot of eBooks, Amoled is pleasing to the eyes even at the lowest brightness.
Not sure I'm ever going to use an IPS LCD display again.

For people talking about Screen burn in issues, do you always leave your Phone on max brightness, like really?

There are a lot of things that makes a smartphone and in the hindsight of specs that they have, the RN8 has a lot of things not available on the R8.

If you knew the R8 was better because of Battery why throw the question in the public?

How it stands

Camera: RN8
Processor : RN8
Support : RN8.
Display: RN8

At your last point, a lot of people do and it surprises me. Well coming from Amoled display, brightness at low settings have been a part and parcel of me.
