Have you seen the Huawei P30 pro camera yet?

The phone has a telescopic lens in the rear camera with 50x digital zoom.

It has been used to take HD pictures of the moon.

The ability of the camera to perform all these is thanks to the hardware.

The Google Pixels are famous for their cameras because of the incredible tweaking Google Software Engineers did to the Camera apps.
The sensors on the Pixel phones are not necessarily the best of their class.

Medicore sensors take way better pictures with stable Gcam ports than their stock camera software.

Pls users, is Glo 4g nw compatible with Xiaomi Note 7 yet?
Pls, planning to order for one soon.

The Note 7 does not support band 28 which glo primarily utilizes.
However, if you stay in some parts of Lagos and Ibadan, it will work on band 3 that glo started testing on recently.

pharmtasy:
There is Mi 9 SE

Eskis sir! Should I send my account number

Holuwaxheun:
Am not arguing with u boss. The Redmi 5 plus was not easy for Ur finger cos of what I explained in the images I uploaded - the screen was stretched cos of the 18:9 display ratio used.

I get you quite well.
My point is, if you had a hard time handling a midrange 5.5" 16:9 aspect ratio phone, don't expect it to get any better when you get a 6"+ 18:9/19:9 aspect ratio phone.

And yeah, with this my issue of size, I should be looking at getting the slightly smaller 5.8" 18:9/19:9 phones, but the issue is that most of the midrange phones carrying this screen size have medicore specs compared to the larger ones.

Holuwaxheun:
The first image u see there is Tecno Spark k7, while the second image is my Redmi 5 plus. If u check the height of the first and second , u will notice the second is a bit higher than the first, but the height is hardly obvious.

I dont know about Spark 7, but after handling both the redmi note 4 and redmi 5 plus on numerous occasions, the redmi note 4 ended up being the easier to handle overall.
That height gangan na wahala for my petite fingers.

Holuwaxheun:
The image below might be of use for people that think larger screen size equals to larger phone size.

I have a redmi note 4 and redmi 5 plus here with me and I find the 5 plus larger overall than redmi note 4.

The truth is, phones are getting larger everyday and the reduced width thanks to the taller aspect ratio doesn't make the overall footprint of the newer phones similar to the old one, it only makes the phones easier to grab.

A quick check of the weight of these newer phones will show you these phones are getting heavier and unnecessarily longer on every new release.

Kalamu2018:
Please, kindly recommend better Phone for me between Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 7??

Redmi Note 5 over redmi 7 everyday of the week!

Folafikemi:
Good day house I really will appreciate your candid advice and opinions on this phone issue.

Will be relocating soon outta Naija and I need to buy a phone that has a global reception both in Nigeria and Canada and I don't want a Samsung phone cos of its fragile nature. I have searched all over and the best I came up with is iPhone and I don't like iPhone too.

Pls can Xiaomi phone be good for that, does it have a global baseband and what type of it's high-end phone can I buy that will meet my desire goal. Kindly help make this decision pls. Thanks

I want to believe you are boxed, so check out the latest flagship Xiaomi Mi9.

And it will do you a lot of good if you do proper research of the network bands utilised in the city you're moving to.

Opistorincos:
Na my luck as gptech has rightly said. I love the phone too, e just fall my hand, every other thing is perfect, except for the screen that's flickering once in a while

Have you tried changing the kernel to custom based one?
I came across some kernel changelog claiming they could fix some screen issues.
Check the dedicated page of your model on Xda for possible fixes.

PS: The kernels won't exactly fix the screen issues, but the phone should work as expected when they are installed.

Protein0:
I'm eager to know who will drop note 4x first between you and Gptech.

We plenty for this group oo!

Mine will be clocking 2 years in April/May.

Battery is still holding up well. The only issue is overheating at times that started late 2018.

CitySect1:
Please I need clarity: Is it true that the redmi 6 pro battery lasts far better than the redmi note 5 AI?

Cc Fibonnaci
Cc Henry007
Cc IKON
Cc Others in the building

Yes. Why? Because of the smaller screen and more frugal chipset on the Redmi 6 pro compared to the Note 5 AI.

Which would I take? The Note 5 AI. Why? It's just the better all round device; no contest!

Would have thought they would go with a 2k resolution, ah well anything to keep the price down. #Mi9

The lower chin has shrunk

mikeycharles:
My point here is; Xiaomi already has several lines of brands that cater to the budget-friendly users, so why release a phone that comes with 1gb of RAM, 8gb of internal storage, 8mp camera and priced at 80$...
The whole point of Android Go was to provide the Android experience to phones with low-end specifications but this just crossed that line and went lower, this is frigging 2019 who's gonna enjoy a 1gb RAM Phone (probably with MIUI installed). Some apps don't have the Go/lite version.

You saw Android Go repeatedly mentioned and you still posted the bolded with a bold face? Your matter don pass ordinary eye oo! Village people must be involved

obuneme:
Hi, pls who knows of any reliable person that ship from eBay or Amazon?

cc: onepunchman

Hoping to see some reasonable spec on the upcoming Redmi 7 pro. Something close to the Mi Play in size with at least a 3500mah will be interesting. Man is tired of all these oversized phones.

GrandMufti:
Oh nice. I didn't know this.

Was your's 8x recharge bonus?

I no even remember again. I sha know I get close to 4k airtime bonus or thereabout when I load 2k to sub some few months back. I can't say if that is the 8× bonus.

GrandMufti:
I don finish am. Abi e wipe sef. I was given 9k+ for calls and about 2Gb for data. This one is separate from the double data and 4G bonus.

But it's limited to 7 days or thereabout

You can extend the expiry date by loading just N100.

Had a fruitful transaction with @McLeo007 earlier in the day. He delivered a laptop @Onepunchman originally got for me on Ebay.
Everything went smoothly; no hassle whatsoever.


Note: The first time I used his services was way back in 2014 or thereabout and I can say his services are as straightforward and trustworthy as ever, Heck! He has even improved.

A big thanks to @Onepunchman my laptop got delivered to me earlier today within the given timeline without any hassle. Very very smooth transaction.
I sure will use you again. Keep up the good work

lavenderjade:
I tell you.. D phone sweet pass pussy

Your craze ehn!

lavenderjade:
Rn7.. Dope sruff

Thanks to gwng for fast delivery.. Nice doing business with you man

If note 7 clean like this, how the pro version go come be?

MrGokay:
Nope, but in a nanosecond

This is wrong.
Megabit is different from Megabyte

8Megabit(Mb) = 1Megabyte(MB)

In essence, that 9Mb is just about 1.13MB.

Where I take see money for OnePlus 6T?

You be chairlady na! Na small stuffs.

papiforreal:
just tried it but I dont think it works. The phone still stucks in bootloop after wiping

A quick reminder once again, download the "Lazyflasher-no-verity.zip" with another phone and ensure you move it into the SD card you're planning to use for moving the rom. Flash this zip after flashing the new rom.

Once you finally get your phone running again, kindly flash Redwolf or Orangefox recovery. The latter will even save you the trouble of disturbing yourself over anti rollback.

fibonacci2526:
Got the Redmi 6a from jumia today as my daily driver before my phone arrives, as person wey get small hands this phone small o.

Lawwwddd!!! I see what you're doing for others! Managing Redmi 6a as daily driver while waiting for OnePlus 6T

Mama du Mama! na you oo!

spartacus11:
Bro i believe no one will make u wat u are not, if u don't like iPhone u don't, if u like Miui no one can change ur preference either.

Dat been said and d post i replied to made me remember d max 2 scenario, i didn't get it then y lots of people were thinking it was iPhone, not until d day i had an opportunity to put it side by side with 6s plus.

Don't blame dem if dey feel dat way, dat was y i had to share my encounter

Thanks for clarifying. I see the difference between your submission and the overly self-opinionated fellow you quoted.

papiforreal:
Thanks.. Yes, I have flashed magisk before using twrp. My question now is how can I get the downloaded rom to my internal storage now ? and can I use any rom apart from the recovery rom?

Use another phone to download the "Latest recovery rom" for your device(the latest part is very important because of anti rollback) and move the rom into an SD card.

spartacus11:
If u know u know which Iphone is dis? Was a constant ringing tone in my ears each time people see my Max 2 then, I didn't understand until i put it side by side with iphone 6s plus d similarity nor be small

I just want to clear something, so because of the similarities in the Iphone 6s plus and your Max 2, then you accept you're a closet Iphone fan?
Or let's say because you're managing the Xiaomi phone, it automatically means you're a closet Iphone fan?

Eeechenmeelee1:
Well, if picking standard AOSP whose features work as designed over custom Chinese OSes that break too many AOSP stuff n replace with subpar alternatives is your definition of delusion then you my friend are deluded about what is really delusional

You really feel smart after typing all these I guess. I am sure this your theory applies to people that are diehard fans of Samsung experience UI on Samsung devices. They are also Iphone closet fans.

If you can't see that most of your assertions on this particular topic are bias, too way opionated and bereft of facts then I can't help you.
