They better bring devices at all price points + service centers at the same time so the fans(who bought online) can help spread the word. If they only bring the Redmi Go and skip out on the rest, even their small fan base are less likely to sing praises about it.

henry007:
Either way, there's no easy penetration into the Nigerian market.
iTel has the low end spectrum locked down with their big batteries and under 30K prices. Last i checked, had a bigger market share than Infinix. I guess that's the power of catering to the majority out there rather than the minority(upper/lower middle class) in a country like Nigeria

Even Oppo seemed promising when they said they were coming to Nigeria but now they're offering A3s with SD450, 16GB/2GB and no fingerprint sensor for 60K

I'm not sure what to make of the conditions of doing OEM business in Nigeria tbh.

You may still need magisk or custom recovery to flash gcam patch if it's a ported cam

Samsung made it known it was a 12mp but have managed to "upgrade" it to perform like a 48mp. You can't tell me Xiaomi was unaware the camera was a 48 mp interpolated camera.
SD660 supports 25mp max, yes but can still "support" a 48 mp camera but the results will still be like that of a 25mp since the processor has a maximum number of megapixels for picture output.

Xiaomi recently launched its Redmi Note 7 phone in China. The highlight of the phone is its 48MP camera sensor on the back. They claimed to have a 48MP Samsung GM1 sensor at the back along with a secondary 5MP camera for portrait shots.
If we talk about hardware, Redmi Note 7 packs a Snapdragon 660 chipset under the hood. When we look into Snapdragon 660 features, the chipset supports only up to the 25MP single camera. So, how does Redmi Note 7 sport a 48MP camera? Is it fake? Let us know the truth behind the 48MP sensor and how it works.

The 48mp brouhaha ain't actually fake but a bit exaggerated by the company which is something most cheap ass OEMs engage in (hype a singular feature and ignore the rest). In common terms the word "interpolated" might be used here but that's not the entire truth of the matter.
Pixel Binning
The pixel binning is basically an ISP level implementation process where 4 pixels combine information into 1 pixel. In Samsung GM1 sensor, pixel binning takes pixels in a 2×2 grid and combines them into one.
Samsung-GM1-48MP-sensor
So, the information captured by 4 individual pixels is now combined into one large pixel that is also called Super Pixel. This data collected by 4 adjacent pixels combine into one “super pixel” and this is called pixel binning. However, the resulting image of this 4-in-1 pixel binning has an effective resolution 4x of the resolution of the sensor.
Basically the 48 mp is just a 12mp in reality but has been configured by Samsung to allow for more light and better resolution, Thus by combining raw data from four pixels into one, the output image is of a higher resolution as it captured a larger amount of light and also reduced the noise. Xiaomi used this sensor and claims to offer 48MP images that are actually captured from a 12MP sensor. However, the resulting image is brighter and has less noise after using the pixel binning because of the combination of four pixel’s data into one.
My issue here is this whole thing is more of a marketing gimmick since the Snapdragon 660 don't actually support 48 megapixel camera, Xiaomi keeps acting like the whole thing is a vital part of the phone. I know some people said Xiaomi might not have been aware about the whole 48mp ish, but that's a big fallacy since they purchased the chip and must have know about it's architecture and "limits".

Protein0:
I will need someone in Lagos, Abuja or Minna to use this bae for 5days and give us the unboxing and brief review
