And someone is still making order for spark 4 after loving this 9A. Reason? Spare Parts.
Xiaomi need to do something about that. They need to get partners that can warehouse the replacement parts in the country.

The way you guys look at things with ignorance and just based on brand name is ridiculous. There are many Xiaomi phones that can be compared to Samsung at their price range. And most times they are better. A little research will not kill you. Samsung is good doesn't mean they are they are immune to comparison by Xiaomi or any other brand.

Yes agree Xiaomi fanboys are unnecessarily aggressive. But that has nothing to do with Xiaomi itselfs or the quality of phones they make. I mean this people only started making phones in 2010. In 10 years they have built a large fan base and are the forth largest phone manufacturers in terms of market shares. They must be doing something right for them to gain so much ground so fast with little or no advertising or brand ambassadors.

Make no mistake xiaomi phones are high quality devices that can be compared to other phone brands out there. They have earn their place among the top brands in the world. Your ignorance will and cannot change it.

Bro market share does not equate to a better device , for instance in nigeria we all know transsion device market share but does it make it better than other brands .

The sole reason why Xiaomi has that kinda market share is India and a host of other underdeveloped countries that patronize their products because of their aggressive pricing .

Now I'm not saying Xiaomi doesn't make great devices but in the flagship section it has always been a straight fight between iPhone and samsung , huawei is the next contender , if you've used any of this brands flagship devices you'll understand what I'm saying , in the entry and mid range level it's a free for all but xiaomi can rightfully be called the best in that category because of their value for money concept or aggresice pricing .

I like Xiaomi even if their fans tend to be overly noisy but Samsung iphone and huawei devices are really better than them in the flagship category .

You can have the best rating in antutu and dxomark but that doesn't mean your phone is better optimized or camera takes better pictures , it simply means your processor is faster and the camera probably has more features . Check google pixel rating and Huawei ratings but yet they take better pictures . I actually like xiaomi products but I love samsung more because of their overall package , especially the quality of their screen one ui and secure folder .

Go to India phone forums and see how those guys they bash xiaomi device because of the ads and other bugs in their devices , if oneplus continue like this with devices like the nord , I'm sorry because they'll eat into xiaomi market share before you say papa smurf

Why will I buy a 300k+ phone just for camera and not overall performance

That's also true for Infinix Note 7

Under this environment, the 9A seem better. But the screen display of honor 4x is better even with resolution of 720*1280megahertz

What's 720*1280 MHz ?

Is it supposed to be a screen's resolution or a processor's clock speed

Go to Google, learn more about phones, then come here to argue

If you want overall best performance then I'll say go for samsung preferably their note devices , do you think a device that sells for that much with those features wouldn't cut corners somewhere, dont let tech enthusiasts deceive you , the taste of the pudding is in the eating , no be by specs and fancy aesthetics , I'll take a Google pixel over any xiaomi if I wanted pictures and if I want to game , I know where nubia red magic , Asus rog they , but since I want the overall better device ( won't say best ) I settled for Samsung and I'm glad I did .

Don't be ignorant. Mi 10 ultra beats Galaxy S20+ and Huawei p40 combined (camera and CPU). Despite Xiaomi's being the youngest smartphone brand, they are drastically gaining the largest market share in Europe. The last time I checked, Tecno and infinix is not certified to sell in Europe. Is that the brand you ignorantly compare to Xiaomi's?

From what you posted the picute of the huawei is clearer na , which means the camera of the redmi is better

But do you believe that the honor 4 is better in display even with lower specs compared to 9A?

They aren't because people who buy and use those devices , the s20 and Huawei p40 dont make noise on nairaland , trust me when you can afford to use the mi 10 ultra that you're yapping about , you would have matured enough both financially and mentally to ignore idle banter no offense bro , it's just reality .

It's people with entry level devices , that spend their productive time on gsmarena that come here bashing every device that is probably out of their league and budget , especially those Xiaomi fanatics with their redmi 7a and 7c browsing on frebasics

What do you mean by better? Sharper, smoother or brighter?

If you mean sharper, then yes, The Honor 4's display(720p) will be sharper than that of the Redmi 9 A(720p) because it has a smaller screen which will give it more PPI

I've not held both phones side by side to see which is brighter

They both have a 60Hz screen, which will mean they have like smoothness (processor's speed can affect it)

Jafar1:


thats what u fanboys are known for, u never believe when someone complains of ur so called brand but u easily condemn transsion..

pheeew!!

this is not about being a fanboy, just simple basic logic. I've had a chance to briefly use a 9A and I've seen reviews online regarding the performance of the G25 chip. The only reasonable explanation in this case is that the specific phone he bought was probably faulty somehow.

You're also a reasonable guy , and since you say you're a tech enthusiast surely if you have the 300k I'm pretty confident you'll know what to do with it . But my one advice dont ler reviewers mislead you, every reviewer I've watched and followed review devices with a certain bias and this sentiment is subtly reflected in their reviews , most wouldn't take notice of it .now I focus on what I need in a device and since I dont game apart from dream league , I swear I can use any device I like .

the difference in screen size is coz the redmi uses has a longer screen and makes up for it by having more pixels in its length. The Honor 4x has 720*1280 while the redmi has 720*1600 so the huawei's screen is not sharper.

I overlooked this

Thanks
720 * 1600 p will give the Redmi 9a a pixel density of 269ppi
While, 720 * 1280 will give the honor 4x a pixel density of 267ppi
Sharpness will be similar.

Thanks again

Breaking news: Local man buys entry level device and expects it to give flagship performance

don't mind them jare, helio g25 and he's complaining. Get redmi note 9 or 9 pro or even note 7 pro with SDM 675 and you'll know that khaki no be leather

Pricing is dependent on a lot of features
1. Screen technology
2. IP rating
3. Corning glass protection
4. Refresh rate
5. SoC
Samsung offers premium devices with most of these features, their low end devices are poor compared to devices like Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme etc.
Huawei, LG, Sony are premium phone makers too that competes favourably with Samsung and IPhone.
OnePlus devices are superb and gives you better value per price than Samsung, Huawei, LG, Sony.
Xiaomi leads the best of the rest, offering better value per price. You will all agree with me that low end and mid range devices from the top tier manufacturers can't match up with the devices that Xiaomi offers, they may have issues with delivering updates to their devices but they are still the best of the rest.
Tecno and Infinix focus on the entry range devices and their value per price is poor, they use entry SoCs for their devices and add huge battery and high pixel lens.

Lmao,Spark 4 can't even compare to redmi 7a , can't play pes mobile,even if the spark 4 can be 3gb ram,2gb ram of the redmi 7a will beat it hands down

another brain dead militant. Calling your father's mate ignorant. Is that what you call your parents? Even if they make the best phones in the world you can't compare them to Samsung. It's only chinko phone freaks who would think otherwise. Comparing Xiaomi to Samsung who make all kinds of electronics and military equipments to Samsung is not only stupid but totally rétarded

beats Samsung and Huawei COMBINED? And this one is calling another person ignorant. One would have thought your father has a share in Xiaomi. Little kids enjoy you're shiny phone instead of insulting people who are above your stations.

I just got a Redmi 9A device and I can assure you guys that all these hype about Xiaomi Redmi phones are mere propaganda against Tecno.

I used spark 4 air for sometimes which I got for 30k before lockdown and I can say that that phone is better than the expensive Redmi 9A of 40k.

Well, my focus is on Huawei and Xiaomi Redmi phones. I currently use an old honor 4 phone by Huawei and the phone is having network issue. No 3g or 4g reception. I have been using my W2 as hotspot so I can use the honor 4 to browse.

The so much hype about Xiaomi phones by *Non Marketers* made me to pick something from Xiaomi and I am not wowed.

* Camera synchronization is zero compared to my honor 4.

* Apps open slower than my honor 4 that has been warning me to free some space.

* Display resolution of 720*1600 is wack compared to honor 4's 720*1280

*Image quality of video and camera is very poor compared to honor 4.

*It is heavy.

Compared to my spark 4 air, it has no finger print sensor, no ear piece, no data bonus from any network operator for new phones etc.

It is just a device. I am yet to see the importance of helio G25 that out perform A22 or A23.

itel A12 performs 100% better than Xiomi or whatever it is called.
