Nokia 7 plus will go for as high as $400 - $500, same for the A8 (2018), Note 5 pro goes for $200-$250 and you want all 3 to be the same spec-wise..
Dont tell me to forget about pricing because you dont expect Samsung Galaxy J7 to have similar specs of mi mix 2 or mi note 3

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!

He should compare Nokia 2 to Nokia 8 as well since price should not be used a basis for comparison... He is just trying to move the Thread to 2500..

Abeg Is Express delivery available this Holiday?

Isn't Nokia 7 Plus still unofficial?

My suggestion is that you build your perfect $200-$250 device. Let's know what you expect from a phone of that price range.

Body -
Display -
Platform -
Memory -
Camera -
Feautures -
Battery -

To me, there are only a few things i would change/trade about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro that won't affect the price so much.
USB type C rather than micro USB (i don't mind trading 250mah battery for this feature)
Ship with Oreo (not a big deal)
Replace those silver bands at the back with "invisible" plastic antenna bands on the edges and make the front face of all the colors black(those sensors make the white version ugly and cheap)
Everything else seems perfect.

exactly why i said a lil price surge from $200-$250 wouldn't be a big deal to xiaomi fans.like if the previous price goes for $200 ,and with lil upgrades like you stated are done to said Note 5 Pro,then it sells for $250,will $50 be a deal breaker when all these comes to pass?? @bolded

No boss. China new year holiday ish

Thank you, I need to land Mi note 3 as soon as possible.. I will chat you up after holidays...

Dam5reey:


I'm not getting you oo,

You should compare phone in the same category... Nokia 7 plus can be compared to Mi note 3 cos they use the same processor... And not Note 5 pro...

What make a better Phone is Cost effectiveness..
It's as simple as that...

dude,categorically they are all "Mid-range" devices..which is part of the subject topic.
not which should be compared based on processor speed or chipsets
why make a Mi note series and a Redmi note series under same category!?!...these chinese firms really cheese me though!

So let me get this right, you are comparing the upgrade between these 2018 models and their 2017 predecessors right?

How does the unannounced Nokia 7 Plus fit into that equation?

You should go for the Note 4X if you're on a tight budget. If not, the Note 5 Pro is worth the extra $ you're paying. That camera quality alone is enough for me to upgrade. I would try to get both for comparison hopefully before some people on here finish me with shade lol

dukeo:


Where'd you get this repacked version

miui forum...but the rom repacking package has neen discontinued... Thats why I'm stock with the last build.

Eyes dey pain me for this argument

The few things i would change aren't deal breakers to people coming from older Redmi devices or older android devices that are similarly priced which means they aren't even deal breakers period. The phone isn't meant for me and i know this(i still would love to review it tho)
Most flagship phone users never reason like this but in all honesty, it speaks ready badly about people when they have no clue what midrange phone users love most about their smartphones. Real people don't sweat the small stuff.

Dam5reey:





I don't have your time....

MIUI alone is enough for me

Then you mentioned Nokia, even Nokia don't have Android interface yet.. They simply use pure Android...

*sighs...
he didn't just type smack about Nokia,did he?
i don't have your time either..enjoy your MIUI in peace!

jboixxx:
it does.

thanks boss

Gptech:
Can't confirm for now but it should.

i appreciate

Ain't about who's real or nah,but what's real or not!
'
That your beloved xiaomi don't invest in research and innovations which obviously puts tech giants ahead in the game is enough for critics to.talk smack about its brand
that you being in nigeria and is contented with xiaomi doesn't mean somewhere in europe or america some users aren' t frustrated.
xiaomi doesn't realize that the mid-range device competition is getting tougher...

If you know this much about phones and It's target audience then start a phone company to compete with Xiaomi...

Most people here complained Note 4 or 4x was not an upgrade to Redmi Note 3 pro in terms of processors..

Today most user in Nigeria bought Note 4, same Note 4 broke records in India, making Xiaomi top in last quater of 2017..

All I will say is if Xiaomi, don't produce what you want, take the next flight to China and request for your own specs go with yuour own design and you will come back with your dream phone...

Xiaomi understand their Game and are playing the cards well...
Peace...

Its there if you are on developer rom, should hopefully get to stable rom soon, those using Mi Max and Mi Max 2 have had it on stable rom from inception, but only have 2 options to choose from.

I hav china dev rom (miui9|8.2.1) on my redmi 5 plus, but d layout option is not thr.. hw do i get it? i nid it badly

unannounced!...unannounced!!, you keep mentioning.There are some leaked official specs of Nokia 7 plus...i think you are not really interested in Nokia news that's why you've not done your research personally

camera quality...you say wetin?
LOL.don't tell me 12MP+5MP is what's enough for you!?
so are you amongst those that follow Megapixels,because i don't think 12MP(f/2.2,1.25ûm)+5MP(f/2.0,1.12ùm) LED flash...selfie camera 20MP(f/2.2,1/2.8",1ûm) LED flash is superb...

Holuwaxheun:


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.

oh God, this is myopic!.implying that i compare a "flagship" device with a "mid-range" device doesn't come off right.

And Apple doesn't make "mid-range" devices so comparing an Iphone 7 with a galaxy J7 is overly complex to put in context,say galaxy S8 then that's a contest!

Greetings my people.

Please help me solve this JAMB question that I have been battling with.
I am currently using a xiaomi redmi 4x. I want to upgrade to something a little higher in chipset and other features but I don't want anything bigger than 5.2 inch screen. I am not a fan of big screens.
My budget is about 65 - 75k.

Kindly drop your recommendations. 10Q.

i disagree.HMD Global knows better than to sell the Nokia 7 plus for that amount you quoted.it will sell lower
Again Mi Mix 2 is a "flagship" device...Galaxy J7 is a "mid-range" device,know the difference.
Samsung devices are overpriced which is old news,but don't pit the Mi Mix 2 and J7 in same category...Don't!

Settings - Home screen and recents- home screen layout.
If it's not there then you'll definitely get it later, there is nothing you can do to get it now.

Then u are absolutely myopic to have compared Redmi Note 5 pro with Samsung A8. Nonsense... U could have make a little sense if u compared A8 with Oneplus 5t, Mi6 and Mi note 3.

U got no point at all Cos I can see u are a confused fellow. Mtchew

If you can still lay your hands on the Mi 5, get it fast, phone manufacturers don't care about people like you anymore .

Still Xiaomi? If yes, I think you will find that a 5.7" on a 18:9 display is like a normal 5.2" on a 16:9. Looks like Redmi 5 is what you need and if not xiaomi, I really dunno cos na big screens full outside now.

That phone still dey alixpress? If yes,the thing go cost oo. Can't be below $200.

I swear all OEMs just abandon us wey like 5-5.2". Tbh I go manage 5.7 or 5.65" on a 18:9 display. E go still dey ok than 5.99" for me. lolll.
