IngeniousLeez: One thing I love about the tech industry is the fact that the throne is rotational. Four years ago if someone will tell Intel that they will lose their hold of the PC market to AMD they would have rolled on the floor laughing. 7 Likes |

genius43: I swear... It's from that Mi 10 Pro I started respecting Xiaomi. I always respected and loved Huawei cos of their record setting P series and Mate. Those phones shatter their top leading records every year. 1 Like |

genius43: Same feels here bro. That's why I so much love the tech industry too. No one is a hegemony for too long when there's a dedicated competitor with the right product mix. Same way BlackBerry and Nokia where feeling back then. Now they've been upended. HTC sef same. Sony(mobile) sef outgunned. I remember when Sony used to boast of the best in class Camera and their under water protection rating. The rise and fall of brands is very much littered in Tech. Same way Samsung and iPhone were laughing when Huawei told(predicted) that it's going to be world number 1 by 2023 and become #2 by 2019. Not until Huawei achieved that feat and they started the panic button and called uncle Sam to limit that growth. 1 Like |

IngeniousLeez: US did Huawei dirty and this their continuos assault on Chinese tech is anti-competition. Now Samsung can have the liver to slam $256 dollar on the A32 4G with Helio G80. 1 Like |

genius43: I began growing a following for them around 2015/16, that time when person just start dey hustle for jamb to free person. ![]() That time I loved and frequented walking into Phone stores in ikeja and playing with the top phones I can lay my hands on. I wondered why I was never enamoured by Samsung then. I was just drawn to Huawei. The P phone I press that day ehn...use am snap picture since then I became a believer. ![]() I even sent the pics to my Nokia X2. ![]() |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by IngeniousLeez: 10:19pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
genius43: Dem really pour better sand for Huawei eyes. ![]() I was actually pissed of that annoying protectionism. The main underlying reason to that effect was the hatred and jealousy US had of China overthrowing their Economy in this decade. To limit that growth they had to tackle the big tech companies from China. Just when US was starting to lose its grip and dominance on World cutting edge technology. Huawei/China actually best them in the next technology race — 5G. And Sam took it personal and decided to spoil things. I was seeing the pricing for A32 and was fuming. This people take consumers for fools. That's why I hate monopolies and always end up supporting UNDERDOGS. 2 Likes |

@ genius43 My colleague at work is looking for a new smartphone to buy. Upgrading from Samsung Galaxy S4. He was looking at the A12 and the pricing..I was even pitching a better deal for him — The Redmi 9T. But guy no dey reason my talk. He's just fixated on his galaxy and I know it's mainly cos of name. There was a day he was boasting that 'people hail him as a big boy cos of his Samsung even tho d phone na kpalasa' cos of brand name. Me I just dey look am like na only people wey no Sabi phone go see that one dey trip. I no sha tell am make I no hurt him feelings. ![]() The other phone he was considering is fairly used A51. I dey tell this guy say na phone wey Infinix Note 7 dey beat for performance an im him wan purchase. E be like say I dey Blaspheme. I go just bone am... Patiently wait make he buy phone of him choice. I go sha laff better laff when person buy phone he no dey too satisfied with wetin him get. 2 Likes |

IngeniousLeez: I saw the P8 in 2015 but it had nothing on the S6 and S6 Edge that year. I remember when I bought the Samsung Galaxy S4 in 2013, choices where limited, it was either Sammy, Apple, HTC, Sony and LG then the Tecno Phantom A/A+ |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by genius43(m): 10:35pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
IngeniousLeez: Samsung A12 is an aberration, for the pricing that they slapped on it, they could have done better in the specs especially the choice of processor |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by IngeniousLeez: 10:38pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
genius43: True...options were very limited to those companies. S6 Edge blew everyone away that year in terms of design. That's when Samsung was still innovative and leading the way for phone tech. Now I'm just pissed everyone now following iPhone footsteps and design. The thing I loved about Huawei that period were that design wise after Samsung and maybe Sony they were the next best thing. I always loved their design and sleekness. All those Sony, Apple, HTC, LG weren't in my plans or dreams at all sef. Cos I didn't have the financial reach to buy any of their phones then. Phantom series from Tecno was the next best option. And they did a whole lot of good for smartphone penetration in Africa. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by genius43(m): 10:44pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
IngeniousLeez: Someone was fuming then why I would spend around 100k for the S4 when the Phantom A+ cost around 37k but I wasn't moved because I wasn't drawn to that company right from time and the only time I used them it was a forgettable experience. But I give it to them for giving people a doorway in Nigeria to get a feel of the Android ecosystem How time flies |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by IngeniousLeez: 10:47pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
genius43: Na that Processor dey annoy me most. Helio P35. I be wan slap my guy with vex today after I see the specs. The dude isn't phone savvy that's why I just dey pity am. Although he seems not to be a demanding user, just the basics. I was complaining about the processor to him and he wasn't getting me. He might feel I dey form cos I just got a new midranger. I was even angry bout processors and this guy asked for another option— Gionee M12. I just dey SMH. That one processor is even worse— P22. Dude no know say na recent Android app expansion and behaviour make me dey feel for am. Person go buy phone only just a month and start to dey see lags. |

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by IngeniousLeez: 10:56pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
genius43:Yea, they did some good work for smartphone adoption. People were baffled by my choice of shelling almost 100k for RN9S last December. Some even said why didn't I buy an iPhone. I was like I never like that company for one thing (maybe except their photo & optimization dexterity). I hate all the raves with their phones and their users superiority complex. I also don't like to follow the crowd. I love as my phone different from countless others. Almost everyone around my area don't even know about Xiaomi or Redmi. ![]() ![]() 6 Likes |

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by error4040: 11:04pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
Guys no matter the Temptation don't charge your Redmi with a Power Bank. A friend charged his Note 9 using PB for two days since then battery no stable as before. From 100-95 can be in 20min and before e de reach 30-40min Or from 100-90 even after leaving it to stay 100% for like 15min once he remove use for 5min e go change go 99%. Genius43 any solution ? Find image below. Thanks

genius43: Mad uno reverse card move from AMD, I have been hearing about them for more than 10 years and I found them interesting and my respect for them increased recently when, while fighting on two fronts(CPU and GPU) against the Masters of both fields they still found ways to gain more market share ![]() |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by genius43(m): 11:12pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
error4040: But the network is also not good now and the current heatwave is not helping batteries. Now the question is which power bank is he using? |

IngeniousLeez: Sigh, the good 'ole days of Tecno, I got the Tecno d5, my first android smartphone. They were like the old nokia of android those years, different types of android smartphones like the keypad android and their glorious Phantom series. But they've stopped innovating since everyone will buy their phone because it's cheap and there are no other options, so until a phone company with the mindset of xiaomi enters nigeria and give them competition at that price range, they'll continue to sell like hotcakes. The only innovative design I've seen and like so far from transsion is the Infinix zero 8's back panel, but people with extreme Trypophobia will hate it. |

genius43: It seems it was the recent MTN issue since you mentioned the network is bad , well he was using Oraimo brand. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Meister(m): 12:00am On Mar 06, 2021 |
error4040: Does oraimo have a pd power bank ? From what I saw his SOT is still actually good so I don't understand the complaint |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by error4040: 12:04am On Mar 06, 2021 |
gremp: To my opinion the hot 8 was just a copy of Redmi note 9s, They only rotate the back camera then copied the side mounted fingerprint scan. What made me more pissed is they refuse to switch from that MTK as if them curse them. But ram and Storage I respect them for that. |
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by error4040: 12:07am On Mar 06, 2021 |
Meister: I don't know what you mean by PD power bank. But they do have the one from 10000mah to 20000, he used the 10000mah Find a sample attached below
