Thanks for sharing this great article.
ReplyDeleteThe phone is very impressive, i like it. The specs are very okay with the price thanks for this update, but...
ReplyDeleteThere is this common trends this days which has to do with 16 gb of Rom, which smartphones manufacturer has taken to, well its all good tho.
ReplyDeleteI won't also forget to mention battery rate in the various flagship of smart phone is also increasing which is also a wonderful development.
To conclude this i....
I will always continue to say and stand on the part that unpopular brands offers phones with great specs like that of a popular brand with a pocket friendly rate.
ReplyDeleteAs already stated, this phone under review packs a slightly smaller 3,000mAh battery whereas the Redmi 4A has a 3,120mAh battery under its hood. Why is it so?
ReplyDeleteIn my previous comment,i asked a question and here is the needed answer. That shouldn’t be much of a concern because the SD 425 chip is a 64-bit processor which ensures the phone isn’t power hungry just like the power-efficient Redmi 4A.
ReplyDeleteBesides, 120mAh is a negligible difference. Xiaomi touts the battery of having 8 days of standby time.
The phone has an incredible specs. But the internal storage is the problem.... 16GB which not converted is 14GB... i like the phones internet connectivity as it offers 4G access. Nice article ones again from wizy...
ReplyDeletethe specs are up to date but the price tag won't be pocket friendly
ReplyDeleteram of 2gb is okay
ReplyDeletebattery capacity okay
memory is okay.. but the price is much...
thanks fr update
ReplyDeleteThe phone has a nice spec, the battery capacity seems manageable,but what will make me go for it is the price tag which is pocket friendly
ReplyDeleteThe price is good for the phone
ReplyDeleteI have been noticing it too
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSIM Hybrid Dual SIM means what? Please wizy make understand more.
It simply means that you can use 2 Sims at the same time or 1 sim plus a memory card.
DeleteThe SIM 2 slot is used for the memory card
Battery capacity is arguably one of the outstanding features a geek look out for when purchasing a new smartphone because without the battery, everything on the phone is useless; in fact, it is as useless as a brick in your hands and smartphone manufacturers has noticed this.
ReplyDeleteBattery should have been stepped up to say 4000mah or above
ReplyDeleteAt times, one gets confused on which smartphone to purchase simply because of numerous types of smartphones from different manufacturers with divers specs and features.

ReplyDeleteThese guys should slow down in producing phones and allow us enjoy a particular product for sometime before coming up with another one.
The phone spec is totally fine.
ReplyDeletePrice tag is average in cost totally affordable.
Thanks for update bro wizy,really Appreciate this one.
ReplyDelete@paul ur right
ReplyDeletenow I want to get a new phone fr my self but m getting confused.. and I don't know the phone to buy
ReplyDelete@paul t simply means that you can use 2 Sims at the same time or 1 sim plus a memory card.The SIM 2 slot is used for the memory card
ReplyDeletehow is that possible
