damn, you should have just go and get a new phone.

i swear.He just dashed police that money.

Zeroenochone:
While you're correct about the scarcity of parts and I think that's because their presence here in Nigeria is not very strong yet,the majority are still using Tecno infinix Samsung or iPhone

However I doubt that the so called "marketers" bad mouth any phone
Each person speaks based on his experience using a phone just like you now, you think Xiaomi is bad because of their scarcity of parts but you didn't include the better performance for price that most of their phones offer which is more suitable for heavy gamers like myself,

You also didn't include the fact that unlike Tecno and infinix they pay attention to bugs on their OS and release updates to fix it and they push recent updates to much older devices which is pretty cool although the downside is that sometimes those updates themselves may come with bugs but you can trust them to fix it

Tecno and infinix only recently started making phones that have an impressive soc and honestly I hope they continue that way

Personally my experience with Tecno is I had to restore factory settings every 2 - 3 months just so my phone wouldn't lag
I thought infinix would be better so I rushed to buy infinix hot S only for me to smash myself out of anger of constant charging issue less than 2 years after

So far my redmi hasn't given me any problems and provides a lot of cool features
Though I admit the scarcity of parts is somewhat troubling but this just means I have to treat my phone better than o would treat an egg

You have said it all!My shop neighbor got a new tecno spark something.Phone never reach 4 months, memory dey full by itself.He did factory reset, the phone memory was still nearly full whereas he has deleted all the files.I used a redmi note 5 for two years and i never did a factory reset.Not even after an update! Unavailable parts for xiaomi isn't an issue for me, because the phones are durable!

xiaomi mi note 10 lite.

Lol, so sorry. Similar thing almost happened to me on Monday. Gave one unfortunate human being lift and I had my phone in the cupholder between the driver/passenger. When the guy alighted, I immediately noticed my phone wasn't where I kept it. Then looked and saw it on the front passenger seat, where the guy sat. Apparently, the guy wasn't fast enough to pocket the phone. Inside life.

U get luck..Thank God my phone was in my bag at the back seat.I was trying to buy throat lozenges in traffic.I think that was when she pocketed my earphones.Tomorrow they will say people don't help!

maclawrence02:

Gptech:
Naa, don't let others suffer for someone's evil deeds, I know say u dey vex sha .

Vex is an understatement..

saint2ace:
Sorry for Ur loss ma, Same thing happened to me some years back and I vowed never to give lifts to anyone, but over time I understood that you can't blame everyone for one person's sins.

Forgive, move on and never stop being the good person that u are.

Once again sorry for your loss.

It is well, thanks bro.

abdsamad:
No good deed goes unpunished. Sorry, dear

Thanks bro.I have learnt the lesson sha.Next time na to zoom off even if heavy rain dey fall.

An unfortunate human being i helped by giving a lift stole my new mi piston earphones from my car yesterday...I am just amazed!Abeg jboixxx,how far the KZn?That one no go even leave my bedroom.

Uzomacharles:
Oh No P..
I like my phone finish!

Great!

Uzomacharles:
oya change the F

I am a woman,a mother and wife.. Addressing me with "girl" is not appropriate.

Uzomacharles:
Port Harcourt girls no dey ever take "NO" for an answer

Correction:I am not a girl.

Uzomacharles:
Umidigi is best for me and Redmi and Naomi or xiaomi can't change it

To each his own.

Uzomacharles:
Me too I no like am
Too many complain about that phone

what complains exactly?I used a redmi note 5 for two years.I have never used a phone for two years straight.I get bored or pisse.ed about poor performance or issues in a phone quickly ,so i just drop it and get a new and better one.

When i got the phone it was okay.As the months rolled by,it became even better.The updates Xiaomi pushes out improved the phone camera,audio output,ui and system apps functions.The phone is in perfect condition after two years.It has fallen countless times,i just pick it and move on.

Xiaomi isn't perfect, whatever issues u face will be corrected with an update.

Uzomacharles:
but I told u fact too

Here..So aunty that's on a hate propaganda against Xiaomi is just wasting useful energy!

Uzomacharles:
but I told u fact too

sure

Uzomacharles:
Population doesn't determine that afterall no be only one phone dem dey produce for there

Bro, Google statistics on Xiaomi's sales per device.I don't talk randomly without facts.

Uzomacharles:
They depend on?

The population of China alone is enough for them to sell out.Are u aware some models are not even launched worldwide?They sell them only in China or India.

Venoms001:
In any phone you buy, don't buy xiaomi, it will end in premium tears

lol,this is serious sha.Hunay, they don't depend on Nigeria to make sales.Rest biko...

Elxandre:
It's funny when I see Apple still suffering from bottlenecks we experienced as windows phone users years ago. Lol
Only the apps availability hides the massive shortcomings.

i no fit o..I got an iphone 5 as a gift in 2014.I endured for two months before i sold it off to get an android phone.Can't be stressing myself on top music and movies downloads.

KinzyeWriter:
The back cover of my redmi note 8 is made of glass, and guess what? it feels better than a painted plastic back cover.

However, you are right that there is scarcity of Xiaomi spare parts but that doesn't mean it is overrated.

My phone is almost up to a year and I haven't experience anything like lagging or hanging whatsoever, the processor is serving me just perfectly.

Outdoor brightness? I personally don't like a phone with strong backlight like small chinko phones, I love it cool with mad and punchy graphics, and that is xaomi. If you are outdoor, all you need to do is to disable the 'eye care mode' and increase the backlight. dasall

Ads are one hell of a menace for me and all android smartphones are guilty, that's why iPhone will have my respect on that one.

If a phone is hyped, e get why. If anything, this Xaomi is not just overrated.

Ads can be turned off easily on mi phones, it's optional.

Why do Nigerians criticize without facts?Go on AliExpress to see that Xiaomi phones are the highest selling devices with people buying it from Russia,USA,UK etc

Even on Amazon, it's selling out worldwide!I have used two Xiaomi devices (using a mi note 10 lite presently) and i never had any issues!

I have been privileged to use Samsung s8 in 2018,an iphone 5 way back in 2014,but none gave me all round value for my money and satisfaction like my redmi note 5 pro did.If it was all you listed there,will i buy another of their device worth 150k last month?

I used the first mi phone for two years without any issues.I never for one day had to look for a service center because i didn't need it! That's what you should look for in a brand, durability!


Google search about top phone manufacturers in the world,xiaomi is listed.Gsmarena rated the redmi note 9s as the best overall mid range device in the world for 2020.

Bottom line,this rant is for the gullible on nairaland!I can afford to buy an iPhone 11 pro max or a Samsung galaxy s20.I got a Xiaomi device again because it's value for money and the features gives even flagship devices a run for their money!



Xiaomi is bad, xiaomi is this and that, yet they have an almost 8000 pages thread on nairaland.The highest for any phone brand here on nairaland!What does that tell you?

Petyprincess:

Money isn't everything sha...Peace of mind is key.Precious is a beautiful lady that deserves so much better than FFK.I advise every young girl I meet, marriage is not a financial plan.Hustle hard before and during marriage.That way, you can carry your kaya and walk when it gets physically abusive.So many women endure hell in marriages because of the comfort they will miss if they leave, forgetting that you can die from being beaten.

I can relate.
Lol ,I was even the one begging the doctor ( student doctor) to come and check the dilation cm .

That hospital won't forget me and my wig in a hurry .

hehehehe

Zzor:
I will never speak with the doctor afterwards,and will also never visit that hospital again,infact there has to be alternative,i just can't do it.

hehehehe..U will speak to the doctor o..And thank him for delivering your baby.Cos that's a life and death journey,many women don't make it alive.

poshestmina:
.
Some even try to run out of the Labour room naked .

God bless mothers!

lol..Who no go no know o! Nothing prepares you for pregnancy, delivery and motherhood.I remember when i was about 7 months pregnant,i was waiting for a cab by Rumoula in PH.I started having contractions plus baby's movements.


I was feeling breathless.Na so i pull my tights keep inside handbag in the full glare of pedestrians and motorists. A man passing by who saw me was greeting me "madam,sorry eh".

You will legit turn into a mad person oo..Till date my mumsie is still yabbing me on how my shakara has dialled down.I respect my mother more after i had my own child.

modsfucker:
When my wife was in labour, I stood and watch Doctor dip his hand inside her veejay to measure some godforsaken dilation, but all I was interested in that time was a safe delivery.

lol..even a muslim woman that was wearing hijab opened everything in the theatre the day i was having my baby.At that time, your unclothedness is the least of your worries or that of your husband!

Zzor:
but we have female doctors around,personally,i can never allow that,i will never be comfortable with it

This was me before pregnancy.When you are having painful contractions that can lead to a premature birth if not stopped,and the only gynae available is a man, trust me.. You will not mind or think about your body.
