cat boi, 29 Apr 2020And if there any other problems with the phone tell me plea... moreI was gonna buy that too. But I heard it lags and stuff after a few months and you can't activate hd mode on some games cause it doesn't support it and some other issues. So I was thinking of buying a Huawei y7p, maybe you should go check it out and see if it suits you.

I have been using this phone (4/64) for over four months now. I wanted to mention some things. I hope it helps.
1. Camera: Gcam makes it a wonder. They got the hardware, if they can work on image optimization, I wouldn't have to install the extra app (Gcam). However, I noticed some dust on my rear camera. I use protective case since I bought. I found few other users noticed this thing too. It hasn't affected photo quality yet (or I haven't noticed). In my opinion, the sealing isn't dust proof. I would also love fingerprint shutter. Palm shutter works fine.
2. Battery: Easily a day with few hours of mild games (Royal Revolt 2 and Rise of Kingdom), few hours of Netflix and YouTube. If I use only Netflix, it lasts even longer. I haven't have to use power saving mode yet. They will introduce ultra-power saving mode with miui 12.
3. Performance: As a light user, this phone is awesome for me. I restart it once every three days (it clears junks in my opinion). I got rid of animations too. Fingerprint works smooth.
4. Network: I use MI4 fitness band so my bluetooth is always on. I haven't noticed issues with wifi yet like other users got. It depends on device to device (like dust in my camera) so I can't guarantee.
My tips for this phone
1. Get rid of ads: Watch few videos on it to get it removed completely else it will annoy you.
2. Fix notification icon issue: Since this phone has notch on the mid, you won't see multiple notifications after getting like 2-3. (it shows three dots, you need to swipe down to see notifications which is annoying).
But, you can fix this by two ways:
First way: Hide and move status bar by going to Settings>Display>Notch&status bar (If you love to keep bigger screen and notch, you will prefer second way)
Second way: Developer options > Simulate a display with a cutout > Corner cutout. What this option does is, it moves your system icons to right of notch so you get more space on left side of the notch for notification.

I have only had the note 8 pro for a week and connection is to slow and erratic. almost to slow to use as a hotspot.
It needs upgrading to be of any use

After 5 months of using this phone.
All I can say is the best mid-range phone ever.
Can play COD mobile with highest graphic with few lags..
Battery quite okay but not long-lasting when gaming.
Overall rating I can give is 7/10..
Good phone with reasonable price.

I had "system destroyed" once when flashing a ROM, it took me lots of tries to make it work again. Weirdly the MiFlash tool doesn't work on PCs with AMD CPUs, you have to use an Intel CPU.

CombatWombat, 27 Apr 2020What do you mean? For me it was a month, got deep sleep problems thus notifications arriving is a gamble. Bluetooth is also messing up Wifi (2.4 and 5GHz).
