Just to be clear, this phone is not for you right? undecided

Cos I was wondering if I mistaked your moniker for another.

My comment did not say I now use Mi 9T.. cheers

The weekend is heating up as Dam5reey and Scotweezy are having a go at it and they seem evenly matched.

This is going to be a rollercoaster weekend. Keep your eyes peeled folks. You're in for a wild ride.

Lol, everyone using the IOS use the stock Version..

[/b]You may ask Google CEO about the Bolded, it's not my business.. cool

How is your first statement relevant to any of the things we've been stating since? undecided
If iOS was not a closed operating system, you think people wouldn't try other things. Even at that, there are a minority who still jailbreak their phones just to sideload things.
So what exactly are you on about? undecided

And another thing is that, majority of Android users use their phones with the "stock" software it comes with same way pixel users do.

So your point is just null and void regardless of whatever you meant in that first statement. Totally irrelevant in the discuss.

At the bolded, if you must know, MAJORITY of people won't buy a phone just for the camera alone.
Especially when it is an overpriced one. The Pixel(s) are good examples of phones like that.

So why did you buy the Mi9SE instead of Samsung S9? undecided
Size ,size. The mi 9 SE is supposed to be my second phone[/color]

You are only strengthening the major point from my last post here cheesy

Yes and it's still a valid point I agree with wink[color=#006600].

I dey wait for your proof!

Wait till Saturday[color=#000099][/color]


Once again, you're strengthening my point.

Once again your points supports the SE here and it's significant.[color=#770077][/color
]


This is you just over-reaching here. As for me and a whole lot of phone enthusiasts, we would rather have feature(s) even though they are rarely used than not have them at all.
You never know when some features will come in handy.
So, your irrelevant talk is just trying too hard to console yourself for buying a phone with less features.

Go tell that to iPhone X users[color=#000099][/color]

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Dam5reey(m): 8:12pm On Jul 18, 2019
Our preference is what determine what phone we use and not specs or someone's opinion or reviews and ultimate how much you get.

My previous Phones, should give an idea. I personally don't fancy all these Bezelless move, 21:9 ratio, gestures and so on,

Give me Good Camera, at least battery of any capacity to power it, 16:9 ratio worst 18:9.

From Mi 5, to Mi Note 3, to Pixel 2, they all match what I wanted in a phone.

Pixels are the IOS version of Android. Isn't that simple to assimilate

I have not said or Beg anyone to buy Pixels, like Google didn't force people to buy their phones...

Is your data ON during this period? If no am sure it's a bug that the next update will hopefully address. But from the look of your graph, your battery is still doing very fine.

I don't put on data overnight, I switch it off and it's been like dt ever since the day of unboxing it (I mean the idle battery drain)

I must have overestimated your knowledge on phones.(No pun intended)
Comparing iOS and Android in this context is just off point.
How many OEMs use iOS? Is it not just one company with at most 3 models in a phone-calender year?
If other OEMs were allowed to use iOS, you think it will be the same experience throughout? undecided
So, there is nothing simple about that your first statement. iOS and Android operate differently on many levels.

This your statement is just like saying the Microsoft Surface is the MacOS version of Windows! undecided Does this make sense in the context we are on?

Lame again. Somebody that values good photography above all else will easily go for the pixel.

In fact it is solely because of the camera that I'll get the pixel 4 later in the year .

My friend you're just grasping at straws. You said I was consoling Myself because my device is missing those features, yet iPhone whose target market is the sophisticated and the wealthy don't put such features on their phones and people are still paying a fortune to get them. Who is consoling who

So impure iOS dey? grin

Baba read and understand what you quoted. Only Apple uses iOS, no other OEM does. There is no need to go on about anything like Pure iOS.

Comparing iOS and android is not a straightforward thing you are making it out to be.

Android did not reach where it is today because Google started the Nexus, then the Pixel project. It is the open source nature that has helped it from the beginning.
Heck! When did Google even release their first branded phone?

PS: I am not sideling the importance of Google to android, but other OEMS also have a big stake in whatever Android has turned to today.

Lame, the time of my phone done pass too quickly. Between the k20 pro and Samsung s9 of last year I know which one I'll easily choose.

See before I chose the mi 9 se, I seriously considered buying the mi 8 of last year, in the end, it was the size of the mi 9 that prevailed so age has nothing to do with this

Bros the picture quality of the SE is confirmed better than the k20 series. You read an American even mention it in the same breathe with the pixel 3a. The 9 SE has better picture quality and I'll show u proof.

And of course the size is still a compelling reason to choose the 9 SE.

Features like radio, headphone Jack and the likes are so irrelevant in the tech world of today.

I just asked all my colleagues in the office now if they listen to radio on their phones and you need to see the look in their eyes, the question sounded so ridiculous to them.
bring ur proof come
so top tech reviewers like Frankie tech de lie abi?
