Lionshare01:you can take a look at the redmi 9a and 9c price and specs, these are OK for the price and would have been way lesser where it not for the naira devaluation, at least the recent offerings from Xiaomi not the redmi 8,8a tho https://www.naijatechguide.com/2020/07/xiaomi-redmi-9c.html |

theoneJabulani:Does redmi 9 offer good value for money? Yes it fucking does Can u call it a budget phone? No I DNT think so. It's more like a lower midranger That's the conclusion of my point.. I said this, not because I hate xiaomi..but because because the brand users criticize other brands unnecessarily. I was on umidigi's thread once, that was wen they released the a7 pro, saw an argument where a guy CANDADDY or so should be his name, was saying "instead of buying this useless phone, with HELIO p23 (referring to the a7 pro), I would rather get the redmi 9 4/64, with guaranteed update and better value for money" Now considering the prices of this two phones, are they worth comparing? Are they both budget priced phones? A person who has a budget of 45k for the a7 pro, is he supposed to steal to complete the remaining almost 20k balance? The point I'm driving is, when we compare phones, we should do well to compare their supposed prices and all! Comparing the redmi 9 with other low-budget phones out there is outrageous..it should be compared with phones within it's price range. 7 Likes |

Lionshare01:Nice. Transsion may make crappy phones but they satisfy the budget and entry level needs of a Nigerian. I don't think an average Nigerian on the street will be willing to pay 47k for a phone without fingerprint cos of processor. BTW, I love Xiaomi. 1 Like |

Lionshare01:Candydaddy is a troll, you will live long if you ignore him. Designating phones into sections is a headache, it's better comparing with price. I like the fact that you agree Redmi 9 gives value for money and that's all that matters. Anyone comparing it with a far cheaper device is a troll, we all have different pockets. But whatever device we are buying, we should make sure it's worth our money 5 Likes |

ChiefZaddy:Finally a person who gets my point.. Processor wise, u might get the best with xiaomi, but not everyone needs the best processor but without some nice basic features like the fingerprint sensor etc. Budget wise, xiaomi ain't the best to consider! Mid-range wise, u'll get a good bang for ur bucks with them 1 Like |

RealEzee:Whilst I love the redmi 9, I still think at 41k and 46k respectively, the redmi 9a and 9c, lacks in some areas.. True, u get the new g25 and g35 processors, I still think those are rebranded p23 and p35 with little changes.. At that price point, I could mention a list of devices, that will satisfy a normal light user at that price better than the 9A and the 9c |

Lionshare01:slight upgrade u may call it yet its an upgrade which placed with the p23 or p35 on the Umidigi a7 pro or a5 pro, it still outperforms it tho,nonetheless let's not shy away from the fact that one can't speak much from a device at such price tag, just mild usage and no qualms. |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by ChiefZaddy: 3:10pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Lionshare01:Exactly. Their fight is about brand names meanwhile a 1gb RAM Nokia might perform similarly with a 1gb Samsung irrespective of the chipset. The main thing is RAM management and optimization. |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by Lionshare01: 4:15pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
ChiefZaddy:No sir, u got that a little wrong. The chipset matters alot, but that's when there is a significant difference between the two chipset concerned. If the 1gb ram Nokia is using a HELIO p23 for example, and the 1gb Samsung is using a HELIO g80, the Samsung will outperform the Nokia without any efforts. But if it's HELIO p23 vs HELIO g25 like we've been arguing, it's a minute upgrade and both will still face same problems |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by ChiefZaddy: 4:25pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Lionshare01:Thanks for the correction. I was referring to the P22 and G25 |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 8:07pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
ChiefZaddy:No doubt Had it been pouvoir 4 pro has the g80 on redmi 9 it would have give redmi 9 a run for the money considering the phone has 18watts fast charger but then the helio p22 is killing tecno and also lack of android version upgrade and over pricing |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 8:16pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Lionshare01:My question is why would redmi 9 come with a slow 10 watts charger that takes 3 hours to charge and also at 67,500 according to slot why can't one get a better camera and a faster 18watts follow come charger, after getting the phone one would get a 18watts charger like 3k all totally 70k I felt xiaomi cheated us the buyers here, apart from all these I mention here it's a proper budget but not complete in some areas |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 8:21pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Lionshare01:Umidigi are cheap like the A7 and A7 pro but the problem is they have not penerated the Nigerian market and also people complained bitterly about the a5 pro having issues |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 8:28pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
Lionshare01:Redmi 9 at 67,500 is not a budget phone it's powerful processor wise but then the 10watts charger is a turn off, for someone who bought that phone to enjoy fast charging one have to buy 18watts original charger like 3k making it 70k plus I don't see anything budget in the phone but then the truth redmi 9 is a great phone |

samnificent:That's another cheap budget phone company I wonder what they and umidigi are waiting for to come to Nigeria and compete and bring price competiton to phones |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by ChiefZaddy: 8:54pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
MartinsD12:Yes! You have captured everything. It will even make the prices of both phone competitive. |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 9:02pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
ChiefZaddy:Yes definitely |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 9:12pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
ChiefZaddy:But also I still want to wonder how tecno was able to equip pouvoir 4 pro with a decent battery life, decent camera and 18watts fast charging on a p22 mediatek processor where as redmi 9 camera although not that bad but can't stand the camera of pouvoir 4 pro with all that g80 processor. |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by ChiefZaddy: 9:18pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
MartinsD12:The camera may be decent but will it stand the test of time? |
Re: Xiaomi Devices As Cool As They Are, Are Unnecessarily Overhyped On This Forum by MartinsD12(m): 9:20pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
ChiefZaddy:I have a camon x two years plus camera is still working perfectly fine although am planning on getting redmi 9 |
