Honest Review About Xiaomi by Nobody: 7:39pm On Oct 08, 2020
Been an ios fan for sometime now , after my experience with tecno and infinix products (spark 2,spark 3,camon 11,camon 12, hot 5,hot 6 pro), spent hundreds of thousands buying crap with wack processors, sometimes I have to wait 4 hours for these phones to charge to 100 percent, the so called camon 12 couldn't even play pugb on mid frame rate,.. swore never to use transsion products again and I went for ios which am still using till date..

After seeing lots of hype about xiaomi products, i decided to get one(note 9s 89,990 naira) and see for myself.

Firstly, the battery life was way beyond my expectations, heavy users won't have any fear with this.

stock cam portrait seems nice with nice object separation though not to be compared with my iph 7plus, but it ain't bad for its price, much better with gcam

body build is too premium, best body build I've seen so far on a phone at that range.

Gaming experience is flawless, playing pugb on high frame rate is as smooth as anything, game mode makes it easier to reply msgz while still playing without any lag.

the fingerprint sensor is too damn fast, unlocks like immediately without even showing any sign of the lockscreen being locked

The second space feature isn't something to be left out, no need running around hiding your contents

battery charging is way above average, fast charge works perfectly

What i love most about miui is its ability to be customized with various themes, applying themes doesn't just change icons and wallpapers, it changes the look everything in the system.. this is one feature i miss alot using ios

the ir blaster works perfectly with my Samsung tv and dstv decoder

the ear speaker for calls is awesomely loud, sometimes i just don't have to put it in my ear before I can hear what my caller is saying,,, this works best in noisy environments

Issues I came across after purchase..

The battery percentage jumping while reaching 90 percent, this was fixed by a hard reboot.

call speaker not coming up after an update, this was fixed by a later update sent.

Accidental unlocks when ever i touch the the fingerprint, i fixed this by changing the fingerprint sensor to unlock only when button is pressed.


so far i will rate my experience as 9/10..even my sis in law using an infinix product called me last nyt lamenting on how the the phone even with available storage can't take pictures and asking her to free up storage, then asked me if I've heard about redmi phones that she wants to get one, was shocked someone in kano even knows about xiaomi products..

anyone telling you xiaomi products are wack is purely an enemy of progress.. This is my honest experience so far..

Nice review.. Have been following the Xiaomi thread for a long time now. And it seems to be very good. Please can someone explain how that IR blaster works?
Am thinking of buying redmi 9 would have loved to buy RN9 but am a student and no money for that. If anyone is using Redmi 9 pls kindly share your experience. Also I love gaming. Hope the mediatek G80 can play Autosport grid

Helio G80 won't play Grid Autosports.

Only upper mid-rangers like Helio G90T and SD 700 series can.

1. You just tacitly admitted that Transsion were crap.

2. A guy needed help with his Infinix Hot 6 Pro, you all refused to help him on your almost dead thread. He had to open a new thread and not a single Transsion user came to his aid.

3. Redmi Note 7 sold out globally, Redmi Note 8 even beat the records set by it's predecessor.

Both phones sold over 40 million copies.

A simple Google search would have save you from spewing ignorance.

I am not here to fight with you.

I'm just correcting your wrong statements.

If you check my blog, I have written on this topic, especially under GPUs. The GPU on the G70 cannot play the game.

Get any person using Infinix Note 7 and ask them to check for the game on playstore.

I'm willing to put my money on it.

It's incompatible.

The game was initially open sha but after subsequent updates and upgrades, it's became difficult for lower mid-rangers to play the game.

Grid Autosports is a bit overhyped. Go to playstore and read the feedback.

I would recommend Asphalt 9 as a solid replacement if it's racing games that you fancy.
