Gptech:

So sorry for the loss, just login to mi cloud on any browser, click on lost mode and lock the phone from there, there is no greater frustration for the so called new owner.
Take note of the words in the red rectangle, u I'll need to retrieve your number ASAP.

Protein0:

Gptech:

Can't confirm for now but it should.

Gptech:

Its been there for some weeks without my notice.

ubev01:

lawrence7:
Does anyone here own the MI Band 2?
Is the battery really that good?
Is it advisable to bundle my purchase of the Redmi 5 Plus with the MI band 2?

lawrence7:


I think the reason Xiaomi is reluctant to spend money on things like research and development or on premium specifications like Quick Charge is that they know their market.

They occupy a niche that is filled with people who either cannot or will not pay extra for these features. And so they focus on adding small incremental performance and design updates to subsequent devices.

They do this so well that Xiaomi is like the 5th largest phone maker world wide currently. And Nokia that now makes really good android phones is just 11th.

If you notice also they focus on things that matter to that market. Like battery life and Dual sim support.

WorldGreatest1:



Nagode Oga sir, I wiped it first and then activated lost mode and I am fully aware of the consequences. At least I am happy now. I'll get mi note 3 next. Oga noobody here, I come.

Section80:

i/said individual were discussing about its popularity,in the nigerian mobile market as a whole..it has nothing to do with your thread.

Dam5reey:


Simple business studies should teach you that

That is expensive does not mean its a good product, Will you buy Nokia 6 over Redmi note 5 pro?

Its simply beCos we buy it from whole seller, ship directly from country of origin.. No task not agent fees and other cost...

henry007:


You said "here is the problem,you guys on here are all about xiaomi". You should have been specific coz "on here" could mean on planet Earth

Another thing with that statement is i don't think Phone section on Nairaland is the most accurate representation of the Nigerian Mobile market

Section80:

simple business studies you say,my field was not "business studies" inclined so pardon my "ignorance"..i am typing what is happening in "2018"!..A8(2018),Note 5 Pro,Nokia 7 Plus
let's ignore the pricing for a minute and face device " specs"
xiaomi products are too plain...aside dual sim support,fair SOT,affordability..what else does these products offer in terms of user experience and hardware?!

Section80:

pardon me,but by "on here",i always mean this thread.everyone here buzzes about xiaomi,but what about the average man in sokoto,ebonyi,osun,rivers,benue,niger and so on...your average barber,stylist,spare part dealer and whatnot,how many of these persons can boast about the xiaomi product chain like you guys do on this thread,I'm talking figures 4,5,6.. not 10's and 100's

has any xiaomi offline store been established in africa as a whole?...i doubt that.

oh really?..all i have noticed overtime is that there seem to be alot of "smarty pants" on Nairaland phone section!..this should be the best section to be at,y'all entertaining!

henry007:


If you meant this thread, then i'd really like to know the level of buzz about Xiaomi that you expected in a Xiaomi thread.

I honestly would like to believe that Xiaomi users in Nigeria already know the risks they're taking when buying phones without after-sales services as with iPhone users. I've been using Apple products for a while now and i always weigh the risks before buying. The risks should even be more apparent to Xiaomi customers coz parts are rarely readily available.
Meanwhile, there are smarty pants everywhere. Have you visited politics section?

Deicide:
WTF......

Mfunkynation:
is that site for real? have you order before from them?

Mrlastborn:

that's wia u got it wrong, u cant ignore the price, if not for price probably,i might b using iPhone X. infact the price is wat determine the spec. for example, i want to produce a $300 phone, i must limit d spec to fones on da level and try to beat the rest by stepping up a bit in some aspect. but my end product must b within d fix price.

henry007:


What's your basis for comparison between these 3 phones?

Section80:

all three are 2018 models..with a little or say slight upgrade(s) from previous(last year's)models
Note 5 Pro didn't do much..i'd go for Note 4X instead if I'm moved!

Hello bro. If u are ready to be transparent, kindly compare Xiaomi high end phones with the Nokia 7 plus, Samsung A8.

It's quite funny for u to say price should not be put into consideration while comparing devices. From ur statement, u are just like u can compare Samsung J7 with iPhone 7 since both were produced in same year.
