I bought a foreign used phone, buh it's speaking China, though most part it's English buh it's speaking china. With all those nonsense Chinese apps, like weibo tencent, and other apps that even the name is completely in china

I use the 8a. they both are 2/32 config. But the feature present on the 8a which are lacking in the 9a are
1. USB C port
2. 18 Watt fast charging
3. gorilla glass

redmi 9a has bigger screen with 10watt charging on a micro USB port and is currently cheaper than the 8a.

Your choice in the end.

pls, any retail store that has brandnew seal box xiaomi mi 10 or the pro anywhere in nigeria? i can`t find any here in abuja

That's because the videos are low resolution videos, and those other phones probably have lesser resolutions compared to your new phone. You can test by watching YouTube videos on your new phone, and set the resolution at 1080p. You should note that the higher the resolution, the more data will be consumed.
I have seen threads here on Nairaland where people complained that their Gotv was not as crisp on their new 4k Tv as it was on their old Sd/480p TVs. I also had a friend who complained of such some years back after upgrading from an HD Ready Tv (720p) to a full HD tv (1080p). In fact, he almost sold the new TV because he thought the new one was inferior grin.
God bless you for this brother ♥️

Mi 10 or Mi 10 Pro wasn't launched in Nigeria.

But Macbeyland in the thread store has Mi 10 for sale. If you need the Pro you can ask a seller like the one I mentioned or Noobody or Protein0 if they can help you arrange one.

Good morning guys,
@genius43, @others.

I have these growing concerns about my RN9S.

1. The battery drops overnight; I charge to 100% at night and by morning it'd have dropped to 96% with data off. Besides that, the overall battery usage is great.

2. The data usage; yesterday I used 869mb and the day before it was over 600mb. I didn't download, normal browsing, WhatsApp, telegram and nairaland. Auto-sync is disabled and I've restricted apps from running in the background yet the phone is still zapping my data.

3. When I dial a number or swipe up to pick a call, the screen goes black or white before the call connects. The phone has never dropped before (I treat like a wine glass) and it's 15days old.

Please, how do I address these issues?

They sell through partner stores, they have an administrative office in CV since last year

Their partner stores since last year have been Raya, Pointek, Slot and others.

They now have an official store on Jumia, that is why the Redmi 9 and you now see on NL takes you straight to Jumia.

1. Network
2. Check your data usage, your phone doesn't use data on its own. WhatsApp is a data sucker especially if you are in the habit of open Video Statuses, once you click on one even if you skip it it will still download in the background. If you click images alot on TG you might be unlucky to be clicking full resolution images. TG don't always compress images like WhatsApp does.
3. If you are using a wrong tempered glass, remove it, it might be messing with your proximity sensor.

Your phone was idle, wasn't it?

It is only on idle mode it can get this high.

Clear cache, force restart.

Thanks for your response. I'm actually guilty of checking WhatsApp statuses, just didn't realize it sucks data. I also think you are right about the tempered glass as the one on it is even covering the front camera. I don't want to leave the screen exposed that's why I'm still managing it pending when I get the protector I ordered for.

You, genius43, are a life saver.

Thanks again.

Use the cleaner app to clear cache.

Hold power button for 10-15 seconds for forced restart.

Lols probably an app was running in the background while your phone was ideal at night and i can assure you that the major cause of your data zapping is your whatsap especially you viewing whatsap statuses ... xiaomi isnt zapping your data your enjoying 4g with seemless browsing your using your data yourself go and take a look a the breakdown of your data usage whatsap will be number one ...if you leave whatsap running in the background at night even if your data is off there will be battery drain .

Nice one.

@Lorbar another thing I failed to mention is sometimes before you go to bed, clear all your recent apps.

But locally from the thread store. And I will advise you get the Chinese Version over the Global Version.

But I guess the shipped from abroad may be the Chinese version though
