sweetvar26 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Man, my driver went out and bought the Samsung J7 for almost 18k. I was like you should have told me, I'd have found you something good for that price range. The performance is not so good off the few minutes I've used it, screen I've found bad for the price. I think there are much better phones out there for the price range. I also happened to check the performance scores later and it falls in the same league as 10k Xiaomi phones. Not impressed at all.

You do realise your expectation is from the PoV of a much discerning user vis-à-vis his requirements of a big-screen, not really bothered by colour accuracy and other fundaments and is not going to be benchmarking his device against competitors as long as he knows he can get it repaired for cheap on the side.

Nothing really wrong with that and the company growth and market dominance show that this is working in their favour. On 19/11/2017 at 0:27 PM, Agent 47 said: I was checking the same phone out.

What more support you need other than 4 years of regular updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just now, mohit9206 said: What more support you need other than 4 years of regular updates? No company does that. Also, MIUI update does not entail a move to the newest version of Android, so that argument is facetious. Finally, if you are so confident in the company, why have you not purchased a device from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) ^ Honestly, Xiaomi makes some of the best ones to be found. Would go for them over other brands. P.S. -- Merging thread with Mobile Phone thread. Edited November 22, 2017 by ALPHA17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 47 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is Mi A1 good since it's on google stock and not MiUI? Talking in terms of being future proof. Comparing this to Moto G5s plus, this one feels better. I have been a moto user previously and their phones tend to slow down after some time has passed plus heating issues. No idea how their newer phones fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 ^ Only time will tell, although Xiaomi has a strong track record for updating its older handsets so I do not see why not this would be any worse. The camera on the Mi A1 is decent too plus USB Type-C over the MOTO G5 ranges micro-USB makes it a well-rounded purchase. P.S. -- HMD Global pushed Oreo for the NOKIA 8.

djanuj Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Guys is there any power bank with dash charger feature? I know oppo launched a similar tech vooc charger which is another name of dash charger. Is it available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 ^ You do know that VOOC /Dash Charge will only work with OnePlus /OPPO devices with the associated circuitry built into them. Better off to get the regular Xiaomi power banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohit9206 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Opinion on Galaxy A5 2017? It seems to have everything. Water/dust resistance, dual sim slots, separate micro sd slot, AMOLED screen, good battery life, decent procesor and graphics, enough ram and storage, etc. I especially like two separate sim slots and dedicated micro sd slot. Price is 18k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
