Change region to India. Go to theme app, choose a font and apply then change your region back to Nigeria.

GCam. Try any of these.

If any Nigerian is "needy" to quote him, there are always more affordable devices that deliver bang for buck in the market than their overpriced pieces of plastic.

Do you have any proof that he his under Xiaomi payroll because that's not the first time you are throwing around that accusation.

Also he might be wrong about the four years but they do it. Infinix hot 4 and hot 5 used the same Chipset, if I can remember well hot 6 except hot 6x. Tecno Camon 11 Pro,. Camon 12 and 12 Pro and Camon 15 same Helio P22, isn't that 3 generations?


Xiaomi have used a Processor more than once but rarely on an upgrade to another successor apart from SD 636 on RN5 aand RN6 Pro which we slammed them here for and SD 436 on R7a and R8a it is quite rare. But three generations and it been present in every lineup be it Tecno Camon, Spark, Infinix Hot, Note, Smart, is a bummer when there are array of processors they can use even in Mediatek line up
even if xiaomi uses the same chipset for random phones ,they must change some other things like camera lens not gimmick ,USB type c,built quality etc unlike the helio p22 king with only difference in new models being just different body size and camera size undecided

Did they use SD 625 on direct upgrade but on different line ups? That is the point I am trying to make.

They didn't use SD 625 or Redmi Note 3 SE, Redmi Note 4x and Redmi Note 5 Pro like some would do.

What is slightly better? Even without the rigging benchmark score from mediatek, 450 GPU and camera is better.
Apart from that samsung sells brand, Amoled, gorrila glass, fast charger15w etc what does tecno sell for that price?



Tecno ke? Don't mind them jare.

Lol.

In all seriousness though. They are just okay-ish.

The Dimensity lineup is good. The G line up is sketchy. The P series died when they started using PowerVR GPUs.

They are still using the 12nm process for the G series whilst the industry has since moved on (their Dimensity uses 7nm+ though). The new Kirin 8xx series are using 7nm+, SD is using 8nm for midrange SoCs and Exynos will soon drop a new 6nm SoC, whilst Huawei's 5nm Kirin should come out next year.

This benchmark cheating put Mediatek on the spot. Even Xiaomi couldn't use sports mode to sell the RN9. Why do I say this, G80 and G85 scored exactly the same. If not for the scandal, I can bet you that the RN9 would have posted about 15% higher benchmark scores than the G80. That's not to say the G80 wasn't among the SoC with this cheat feature. So, I'd say forget about Mediatek series that are not Dimensity and buy Snapdragon if you want peace of mind.

Quote this message when someone will say his PES gets 60fps on RN8 but it is lagging on RN9.

I rest my fingers. tongue

PS: IMO. I very much hope to be wrong.
