Xiaomi Or Samsung by PrettyBunny(f): 5:42pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Good evening everyone. I have been contemplating on the phone to get for the past one month now. I wanted to buy the Redmi note 8 pro but was unable to do that because I fell sick and the lockdown started. I have gone through the Xiaomi reviews over and over again and the fear of few things has been keeping me from making the decision. 1) There has been complaints of some of the phones having network issues and some other minor issues I hear. The whole tweaking to install Gcam and other stuffs that includes flashing or ROM or so. The Note 9s is out but I have not seen anyone use it, so, I don't know if it would be a waste of money. Then, someone advised that I should buy Samsung A70 or so. But I am looking at the fact that most Samsung phones have battery issues. They don't run on Android 10 and I wonder if it would be possible to get the updates after buying the phone. I really don't want to waste money honestly. My budget is 80-90k and I can increase it if possible.. If not Redmi note 9s, what better Xiaomi do you think I can get and not waste money? Or should I just buy Samsung but I really I want to change brand too and the screen price is annoying too. Specs that I am looking out for Faster processor Better battery life (I am an heavy user) Best Camera Android 10 and other updates that won't drain battery.. Type C charger and fast charging too Kindly help me out please. Thank you very much 1 Like |

I have used xiaomi and I plan on porting to Samsung(s10e) but this lock down is delaying it. Listen unless you're buying Samsung s series or note series it's best you buy that note 8 pro. Samsung A series is rubbish, most of them use a low exynos processor which is nowhere the redmi note 8 pro Helio GT90 ( tested and trusted) Highly recommend you buy the redmi especially since you're girl and you ladies love pictures too much, the camera quality is INSANE just check YouTube or go to a store and test it the camera is insane but if you can increase your budget to 100k I'm sure you can find a UK used Samsung note 9 If it's not Note or s series, forget it. Modified: Not to sound sexist but a lady asking about processor ![]() Anyways redmi note 8 pro over any Samsung A series device. Exynos is shit as said before unless you get the exynos 9820(this one is actually good) Battery, redmi is better. Samsung A70 has 25w fast charge. I'm yet to see a Samsung A series phone with a ground breaking good camera so it's redmi. 32 Likes 1 Share |

Get xiaomi redmi note 8 pro if you are a gamer it has a faster processor than the remaining two. But phone is not all about processor, xiaomi should be using amoled screen, i know they are trying to save cost. Samsung a70 balances everything the processor + software (one ui )+ super amoled screen + indisplay fingerprint, brand name etc. I prefer u pick Samsung. 4 Likes |

Karex81:Have you seen the exynos 9820? If runs Fornite on epic graphics and pubg on hdr ( this is pubg fault cuz even SD 855 does HDR) It's a pretty good chipset. |

Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by PrettyBunny(f): 6:17pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Failure44: That means Helio GT 90 is better than exynos right? |

Demmtek: Thanks so much for your response..I am really grateful |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by Nobody: 6:19pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
PrettyBunny:k30 is ok aswel as k20 ,I think the k series are amoled |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by Failure44: 6:22pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
PrettyBunny:Em yes and no... BTW just found out the A70 uses SD665 not exynos (surprisingly). The GT90 is still better tho it's basically equivalent to SD 720-730 So yah it's still better than the A70 based on processor. |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by Failure44: 6:25pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
PrettyBunny:Note 9 pro max won't be here till May maybe even mid May. Note 9s is barely different from note 8 pro, shockingly the note 8 pro is actually better the only difference with the note 9s is that it has slightly better camera and a better design with a bigger battery. Nothing else K20 isn't bad tbh, I feel the note 8 pro is somewhat better tbh But the K20 pro? ![]() Quality phone with powerful chipset SD 855 but expensive. 1 Like |

Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by PrettyBunny(f): 6:28pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Failure44: Does that mean that I can compare the Redmi Note 9s to Note 8 pro? The Note 9s uses SD 720, isn't that higher than the processor in Note 8 pro? You said a better processor equals to a better camera right? Should I still stick to Note 8 pro or go for Note 9s? 1 Like |

PrettyBunny:The Helio G90T is arguably a better processor than the 720SD. For gamers the Helio G90T is a better processor but for non gamers, there's not really much difference apart from SD is slightly better at giving quality pictures than meditek Helio and doesn't overheat but not much difference if you aren't a gamer. |

Failure44: By gamer, you mean games like Pubg, PES, and co right? I play just minor games and sometimes, call of duty, Mortal Kombat, and all that. But not Pubg. I don't play Pes with my phone since I am still learning it with a friend..( don't ask me how it going, my ass is being wiped but I won't back down��) So, what is your final advise? Also, the Redmi not being an AMOLED display a problem in any way? |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by PrettyBunny(f): 6:46pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Failure44: Thank you very much..I am on that �� |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by Failure44: 6:52pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
PrettyBunny:People still play MK on phones? ![]() You could add me on COD lemme join in wiping your ass - lesbianrobot ![]() Anyways just buy the redmi, that AMOLED screen doesn't really matter tbh it's just smoother and stronger but expensive to change ( just buy screen guard) Apart from an AMOLED screen, faster charging and maybe brand name, there's nothing else that makes the A70 a right choice. |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by PrettyBunny(f): 7:12pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Failure44: I will definitely add you���.. Thanks so much for your time but you did not specify whether Note 9s or Note 8 pro or I should wait for Pro max.. Thanks so much, I really appreciate your help in helping me make decisions...God bless you �� |
Re: Xiaomi Or Samsung by khingTony(m): 7:15pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
have you considered getting a UK/US used Galaxy S series ? let's say the Galaxy S9 since you are not a picture freak, the single camera setup will be okay for you, and it certainty is better than the Redmi Note 8 in some main features such as A faster processor: SD 845-US/ Exynos 9810 - UK a better super AMOLED display with 570 ppi compared to the redmi note 8's IPS LCD display with 395 PPI a better body build without a "hole/notch" in the screen, battery life may not be excellent but you can always get a power bank to keep going ![]() 3 Likes |
