So it's your own opinion we should be using as a criteria for rating smartphones?
Performance test: antutu and geekbench
Lenses and Camera: DXOmark
Unified graphics test: GFXbench
All of those tools listed above are provided so that anyone wanting to get a new gadget (be it a phone or a computer) can know what the gadget is able to deliver.
Humans are emotional and are prone to be sentimental in settling matters like this, hence they might lead you base on their opinion, in such opinion most times are limited to their knowledge.
Have you used all the phones I was comparing to know which is better? If you haven't used them, then why would I listen to you over some tools design for such specific purpose?
I would rather use a measuring tape to measure a distance than asking someone to guess it, the same is true for benchmarking tools

I never said you should use it at all, I am only pointing out the fact that long term usage or usage at all is the main thing. I don't know if you have experienced a phone that really checked out in all those and still performs lesser than than another with lower benchmark in real world use

exactly bud.
There are standard testing tools to guide us in making decisions yet some folks tend to rule it out and bring sentiments into discussions in regards to brands, such no dey make discussions edifying at all, been fueled by emotional attachment to brands instead of facts.

Some niggas eh, just because I compare mi 10 ultra to Galaxy S20+, they just dey brag and jump-up like chicken. One even claim say in dey use iPhone 11 and Galaxy S10 combined lolzzz, anyway that one no concern me ja re
They don forget say Samsung open-and-close was regarded as chinko for the time of Nokia 3110c or Motorola Razr

as In ehnnn, folks don't get it at times guun, when facts are placed on the table make we keep sentiments one side, but mehnnn da mi 10 ultra na beast of no nation oooo, damn they went hard on that device, and to imagine these guys are barely 10years in the industry and already having 4th in market share mehnn they really growing big time.

errrmmm
I dont think y'all shoulf compare Apple to most Android..Apples softwares are optimized since they run on less than 15variants ....I think apple have faster processors ....

But flagship android device come with too much ram ..like the mi Ultra or S20 and that covers up for android flaws
All in all ..android is more customizable and I would rather get a pixel which is android but gives me apple device feel..If I ever wanted to use something like an iPhone
the hot8 is a better device than spark 4
My friend's hot 8 lags or stutters precisely while playing COD on lowest settings? and you say spark4 will be better?
the spark5 pro ..has less than 100k on Antun tu while 9A boasts of 102k ?
Maybe the 9A u got has problems tho
But dont expect heaven and earth on budget devices!

even the CEO of transision uses a xiaomi phone.

USSD takes ages to complete. If you don't have the short code to carry out mobile transaction, you will be timed out before you could complete the transaction. That is another observation. My Tecno W2 only does that when the network is poor. R9A doing this in 4g network is bad.

I noticed this as well

Apt!

Each is good in their own lane.

Even itel is good in affordability to common Nigerian.

I use Redmi (Note 7 pro) , it gives me great performance for the price I paid. Value king.

Samsung is the king of smartphones overall. High-end Samsungs are in the league of iPhones. Classy. Only ignorants will argue this.

Oneplus and Huawei are a blend of value/performance for money and class.

Transsion is the savior of the common Nigerian who wants to use smartphones specifically made affordable for Nigerians who don't see beyond made-for-Nigeria phones.

I see no need to argue, honestly. Each one should go for what suits them best.

I wish everyone can reason like you.

Barely 2days and I'm having irritation on my eyes. Redmi remains a junior. Huawei is unrivaled by Redmi.

Sorry ehn
Buh that redmi 9a isn't a great device for it's price, you probably should have made more findings before purchasing it

But I don't think you should generalise the comparison of the brands because you got one phone and it isn't working out well.....

I'm not comparing it with some big device. just with my old Huawei honor 4x which has lower specs than the new redmi 9A.

Alot is wrong with this phone. It is breaking alot of records. Just finished installing union bank app the phone is already showing adds on the union bank app.

It seems you are using a budget device, cause i have never seen this ads in my mi 9t since i bought it. Is it chinese or indian variant? Moreover you can get rid of the ads yourself. Click that settings icon in the picture you posted and off recieve app recommendation.
Even Samsung galaxy shows ads in thier weather apps, and galaxy store. Transsion own is the worse you even see them on your lockscreen.

What sort of Fucckery is this

Fucckery kill u dere

I have used Redmi 9 for about a month before I got a gift of Huawei y8p. They may not be in the same category (maybe Y8p may be a mid-range device) but, the experience with Y8p has been nothing less of awesomeness. I believe the y8p should be compared with the Xiaomi Note 9S or Pro for fairness.

Xiaomi is rugged and the company is ambitious. The battery life of their devices is superb.
Huawei is a combination beauty and beast.
