But Snapdragon are the best and it won't be bad to go for it.

Yea. They're more reliable

Poprnapoleon:
You definitely hit the nail on this one. I was one of the last person to be interviewed, and guess what? The panel interview didn't last for more than 4mins.

Exactly Bro. I was 3rd to the last who was interviewed when I went for mine. My interview never lasted for more than 4 mins

MeshachMARTINS:
Please,Why is 6a score near a sd625 or 450??

It's just on paper Bro. The real life performance of the Redmi 6a isn't much different from that of the Redmi 5a. I don't know why the Helio A22 in the phone recorded such high score. Redmi 6a has a better battery management though

cbrezy:
okay

Now that I've watched their performance videos on YouTube, there isn't much difference between both phones at all, so, you can just go for whichever you'd prefer

PaulThor:
.
Don't buy Samsung, iPhone phones on aliexpress. It's either refurbished or its fake. There is 10% chance you can get original though but that is not a risk Worth taking. Use jumia to buy Samsung and apple phones..

Alright Bro, Thanks

I'm seeing some insane flash sales on Aliexpress this morning, but most of the Xiaomi products listed can't be shipped to Nigeria. But I saw an IPhone X that can be shipped to Nigeria via EMS. How recommendable is that EMS?

cbrezy:
Which is better 5a or 6a?

This is their benchmark scores. Redmi 6a will offer you a better performance

This is serious. Yet Buhari's government fed us some hogwash on how this infamous sect has been "defeated" earlier in their tenure. May God punish all these Polithiefians and Buhari supporters

28nm chai waw what yr was that made

2015. Lol

Get a Xiaomi Redmi note 5 and thank me later

PhenomenalMorgan:
Nairalander's and xaiomi ehnn Lets stop concluding that the redmi is better cos of its a xaiomi phone, what are the specs, in phones we argue with specs!!! First Whats the processor on both phones

Then you should have made your own research on the specs and the processor and decide which is best for the OP. Gionee A1 with Helio P10 (28nm) processor. Lol

The pictures are cool. Wishing her a happy married life. But when will Seun rectify this Bad Gateway nonsense

JeffreyJamez:
Do you have the contacts of the guy that did this?

I can get you something similar Bro. Just follow my signature to drop a message on whatsapp

Drniyi4u:
Lagos. They asked questions from CV majorly, then about WEMA bank

How about Behavioral questions bro?

Demogorgon:
If Africa can implement the use of "juju" in technology, no continent can compete with us.

Juju and Technology doesn't go hand in hand. One is for the primitive minds, the other is for the enlightened ones

Emmyzeey:
40K - 45K

That's enough to get you a Redmi 5 (3GB + 32GB) Snapdragon 450.
Visit the Xiaomi Thread for more info. https://www.nairaland.com/3092803/xiaomi-thread/3766
Or you can just contact noobody

Emmyzeey:
Am thinking of going for d 2gb variant and what abt d camera?

How much is your budget? Don't waste your money on Infinix device. You get the best value for money with Xiaomi phones

matrix199:
Well, like they say, the truth hurts.


If you don't compose/write "your" own song then you're just a singer, not an artiste. An artiste writes and sings.

False!!! It's not too good to display one's ignorance on public platforms like this. Do you think those foreign artistes you celebrate are reputable for writing their own songs?
Citing an example, Celine Dion's power ballad, "My heart will go on" was written by Will Jennings, composed by James Horner and recorded by Celine.
Ed Sheeran's "shape of you" was written by Ed Sheeran alongside 5 other Songwriters (Steve Mac •
Johnny McDaid • Kandi Burruss • Tameka Cottle • Kevin Briggs) .
Search for popular music albums on Wikipedia or allmusic.com and take a look at the credits for more info.

Those guys made one hell of a noise back then. Kept many Nigerians' hope high, but they've since faded into oblivion

This is serious.. These pastors no get chill these days. 2 billion?

Cool, They must be CR7 fans

flexerking:
yh just found out

That Hot 6 Pro is over 50, 000 on Jumia. I think he should just go for Redmi 5 plus (3 + 32GB). It shouldn't be more that 55k.
By the way, when will Seun fix this cloudfare nonsense

flexerking:
sd425 and sd625 which u think is better ? huh

He said Redmi 5. Not Redmi 5 Plus. So, it's SD 425 vs 450

That Huawei looks brighter

Wagasigiungu:
Mbanu. Only happens if the barawo comes online with the stolen device. Just hope say na barawo wey takestyle donjazzy and likes browsing. Lolz

Thanks. But what if the phone is actually locked with a pattern or password before it got stolen. The phone don go be that?

Wagasigiungu:
Result:

After about four hours, my unlocked and rooted mi max 2 was locked by xiaomi after simulating lost mode on i.mi.com (Pictures attached)

I was online via a VPN. It would require my xiaomi registered phone number and network to unlock the locked device.

Conclusion

I can say with utmost certainty that Xiaomi rocks when it comes to remotely locking a device after it has been stolen and rendering it just an expensive brick in the hands of the thief.

Recommendations

Xiaomi could improve on the response time after activating the remote lock feature. I got a response time of about 4 hours. I wouldn't know if this is dependent on the Internet network availability /strength.

Esure one of the very 1st steps you take after loosing ur fone is to do a sim welcome back. Otherwise you gibe the thief enough time to come up with alternatives and explore all options.

Ensure you register an account with xiaomi and link your device to it, as soon as you buy a new or used phone. Keep your password very safe and don't you dare forget it .

Never ever save your mi account password on your phone browser. Some browsers have this feature automatically set up. Once you open the browser, the username and password is already keyed it and all one need do is just to click on log in. If a thief should open your browser in the stolen phone before you remotely lock it, he can access your mi account and even change the password.

Upcoming Experiments

Remotely wipe a stolen unlocked and rooted xiaomi device
Test if truly the find feature is inactive in an unlocked rooted stolen xiaomi device.

Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen. Lolz

What if the phone's GPS or data isn't on. Can the remote lock feature still work

MobileGees:
power amp na rubbish trash UI
let me try the rest

Try Black Player EX. The UI is totally customizable

MobileGees:
I couldn't find any music player app better

please list better ones

BlackPlayer Ex
/
JetAudio
Plus
/
PowerAmp
/
Musicolet.

Try those four out.

I don't think I've ever played a song on that stock Xiaomi music player. Even the UI is shit. There are at least, 15 music players better than that app.

How about memory cards It's never the same capacity that's always claimed

Yea because 1kb isn't 1000 bytes but 1024bytes. Computer stores data in bits (binary digits - base 2). A combination of 8 bits is what we know as a byte. But since we humans make our own calculations in base 10, (which is what manufacturers advertise their storage devices in), that's where the disparity comes from.
Doing the maths,
Megabyte (MB) = 1,024 kilobytes or 1,048,576 bytes
Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 megabytes or 1,073,741,824 bytes
Terabyte (TB) = 1,024 gigabytes or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes.
Using the Terabyte as an example, our own base 10 calculation will reveal the storage capacity to be 1TB with an additional 99GB.
Computer's 70.4 GB has around 75,591,424,409 bytes of storage space, which is 75.5GB in our own calculation. So in the real sense, the memory space isn't really smaller. It's just that our calculation metrics are different. So, if you purchase a 32GB memory card and you see something like 28.8 GB there. There's no missing 3GB. Do the maths and you'll discover there's about 31 billion bytes in the memory card.
