Nokia devices are far better than Xiaomi products. Especially when you need replacement parts!!

Stop the low imagination comparison

Mustiboy:


Nothing global or critically acclaimed here here.

Just a small award organization by an unknown entity. It doesn't count.

Mustiboy:



Still doesn't count.

Mustiboy:


The Redmi 8a price was 34k. Forget the current hike in price; it is exorbitant and will return to normal soon.

Between, who uses a 5.7 inch-screen phone in 2020? More so one with such huge bezels and a weak battery?

Flytime:
you do know the phone came out last year come on wake up boy
Why don't you say who uses a 4.7 inch phone(iPhone se) in 2020

Mustiboy:


Oga, redmi 9 is an entry-level device. Perhaps, you're too used to mediocrity so much that the Helio G80 on it made you think it's mid-range.


If not for the pandemic, the Redmi 9 would have been below 45k.


Below is the price on AliExpress.

Norman4real:
Lol, you can't call a phone with a 1080p screen, G80 chip an entry level. Entry level phones are the likes of Nokia C1 with 480p displays, 1GB ram.
Anyway regarding price I didn't know it started with 3/32GB coz I personally would never consider such low storage capacity. I was thinking of 4/64GB at least I'm sure that one is over 70k

Mustiboy:



Yes, Xiaomi is raising the bar for entry-level devices by offering such specs. At just a little over $100 price, the phone is an entry-level device, and the segregation confirms it; that is, the name Redmi 9

Norman4real:
ok lemme ask, is there a level that's below entry level? And if so then how will you categorise the redmi 9A which has a much inferior chip, 720p screen, 2GB ram.

nwachineke096:
Post from person wey no get job, cos if you do, you won't have time to type such unnecessary long trash as this, now you turned me to a jobless person like you by me replying you.

Mustiboy:


Oh. You're even the conductor guy who was causing nuisance here last week. I'm sorry; no vex.




Moreover, this thread is targeted at Transsion, so leave Nokia out of it.

Mustiboy:
For clarity purpose, Xiaomi produces smartphones for different levels and purposes.

Given this, their smartphones are segregated into three levels, which are the entry level, mid range, and flagship level.

Entry-level devices from Xiaomi usually come with names such as Redmi 9, Redmi 8, Redmi 7, Redmi 6, etc.

Following the aforementioned segment are the mid-range smartphones from Xiaomi, which are usually named Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 8, Redmi Note 7 (which I use), and below.

Flagship smartphones from Xiaomi usually dump the Redmi name and are instead named Mi; e.g, Mi Note 10, Mi 9, Mi 10 Pro, etc.

Having understood the above, it is imperative that you know each level has its price range. Xiaomi's entry-level devices are usually priced between 35k—50k, while their mid-range smartphones are priced between 60k—85k. Their flagships, on the other hand, can be priced from 100k and as high as 300K.


Now, the point is that the Redmi 9 is an entry-level device which would have cost between 40k to 55k— if not for the toll the ongoing pandemic took on countries' economies worldwide; be that as it may, you can still get it within that price on AliExpress.


Now that you understand what level the Redmi 9 belongs, can anyone please tell me which Transsion device beats this entry-level phone from Xiaomi? I don’t want answers like “in terms of big display or big battery.” I want answers that are explanatory and straight-to-the-point. Tell me how exactly the Transsion device that you pitch against the Redmi 9 beats it.
I’ll love to see a Transsion device win.

Below are the Redmi 9’s key specs:
1080P*2140 FHD Display
MIUI 11 on Android 10 (Upgradeable to MIUI 12 on Android 11)
Helio G80 Processor
USB Type-C (18 Watts Charging)
3gb/32gb or 4gb/64gb Ram and Storage.
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
An IR Blaster at the top for controlling home appliances


The purpose of this thread is to make people understand that Transsion calling some of their smartphones flagship doesn’t mean they are actually flagship; entry-level devices from other brands which cost way lesser than the supposed Transsion flagships can give equal value— if not more.



Update:
Since yesterday, nobody could come up with a Transsion device that sweeps the floor with the Redmi 9. Does that mean Redmi 9, an ordinary entry-level device from Xiaomi, is better than all devices from Transsion?


I'm shocked. A 50K phone beating even Transsion's smartphones that cost above 100K.


Doesn't this prove how useless Transsion is? As well as how blinded the buyers of their products are?

Jacku:
What about the Camon 15? Doesn't come close? Just wanna be enlightened.

Mustiboy:



No, it doesn't, performance-wise.

Jacku:
the chipset you mean?

Mustiboy:



The chipset, Yes. Then there are other bells and whistles such as a USB Type-C, IR blaster, better battery, better screen quality ( Xiaomi LCDs have deep blacks), etc.

Jacku:
I know some Transsion products uses the Type-C and also have strong batteries too.

Mustiboy:



Which Transsion phone has a type-C?

Flytime:
phantom 8
I just had to chip in

Mustiboy:



Okay. Why the sudden stop then? Other phones don't deserve a type-C?

Flytime:
that's one of the problems of the transission management
Back then when the phantom 8 came with usb type c,their customers didn't take it as a big deal instead it was seen as a problem because they're no longer able to use their friends charger
Back then all most people wanted was camera and battery,now that their customers are more into specs they for some reasons feel it still shouldn't be added.
