      Hello Fellows! I was asking, I've just received MIUI 12 but still did not download it because ... I'm still running Android 9 MIUI 11 so can I directly download MIUI 12 and install or should I install Android 10 first???
      And if anyone is using MIUI 12... What after affects you got after installing like battery life , performance , etc...
      Any information is much appreciated and thanks in advance!

            This phone is shi* and useful at the same point of time, for me atleast. I'll tell you why..

            First the positives, it does everything what a basic smartphone does even more than that. I have no problem till now regarding display, sound, camera, software or battery. There was a time my phone got some charging issues but it was solved by service center under warranty.
            I'm okay with this phone because i got what i paid for.

            The negatives, this may or may not be common to anybody else. Some of you may consider this is a silly issue but it matters me a lot.

            I'm not a geavy gamer but i usually play a 2D game called Slither.io
            What bothers me is that this phone having G90T, 6 GB RAM and a good graphic unit, still can't handle a 2D game. The gameplay is pethatic, laggy and unplayable.

            The problem may be with game development. But I always used to play that game in my free time but not anymore. I learnt a lesson and I'll surely take action in future when I'm buying a new phone.

            I'll definitely increase my budget & go for either a Samsung flagship or a OnePlus phone. Because a stability is very much necessary when it comes to a smartphone & a software.

            I wish that MIUI 12 doesn't ruin the goods of this phone that it still possess.

              This mui12 is real problems here to play a game like relic run on this device after the update to miui 12 the game always hang , is there any solution to this

                george, 18 Aug 2020Can you help me what to get, Nova 5t or Redmi Note 8 pro. R... moreThe camera may be better on the T5 rather than the one on RN8P. The screens are identical it's just that the RN8P supports HDR. The 5T's performance is almost half more than the RN8P's. You won't have any problems with the RN8P because you can do whatever you want, even game in the highest settings. You said you need it for browsing and for youtube so going for the RN8P would be a better choice if you want to save the 70 euros. If you want a smaller display but a higher performance and maybe better cameras then go for the 5T. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I hope that this helped!

                  Can you help me what to get, Nova 5t or Redmi Note 8 pro. Redmi is 70 eur cheaper by the way in my country.I am using phone main for browsing and youtube.Camera is not so important.I need the better display from the two as well.

                    Mech-for-i, 17 Aug 2020Mine is a Global version and yesterday it just got got upda... moreThose annoying ads, you can actually minimize them. You'll just need to turn off those "Recommended" options on everything. You can search it on forums. They'll give you an instruction.

                    Those bloatwares, you'll be needing a laptop to properly uninstall them. If you have, just search for Xiaomi Adb Fastboot Tool.

                      Mine is a Global version and yesterday it just got got updated to MIUI Global 11.0.3.0 on Android 10 , so far working great ... still want to see MIUI 12 implemented though ; I got it new just new to replace mu old broken phone ( Sony XA1 Ultra, my fault I drop it on hard floor ) .. and for those like me who are not really into gaming nor extensive media consumption / creation on the phone and if finding one with good price I think its still a steal. Though if at shop retail , it might be hard to compete against its own peers from Xiaomi itself like the Note 9 Pro / Mi Note 10 Lite.

                      Overall satisfied with it all, it could use a screen and control to tweak for better colour balance ; the MIUI come a long way since its early form and now are more polished than ever , still the ad on MIUI 11 is something most will not like , Xiaomi should ge rid of it or at least offer control to one click set them all off.

                      Xiaomi should allow user to simply uninstall all the blotware the user won;t be using ..

                      With todays phone there is usually 4 area people talk about and cared for , the screen ( both display and tactile control ) , the battery ( how far can it last and how fast can it charge ) , the price , and the camera - while the hardware on the Note 8 Pro is inline and even somewhat good for its price , its the software that Xiaomi should look into, its one weak area it had

                        Kelly, 14 Aug 2020So I bought this phone and its pretty good with everything.... moreAll that it can do is make you change your battery way sooner because instead of 8 hours of SoT you will only get 4-6. All that's being damaged is your battery. It's just gonna make it last shorter. You still have to change the battery after 1-2 years sooooo just f that, go ahead and play what you want. In one year it's gonna be a 30$ fix.

                          nak3dsnail, 14 Aug 2020I don't think its a true 90fps or atleast 60+fps, I fe... moreI haven't tried battle royale but in the other game modes I get stable 60 fps on the highest settings. I will try battle royale and reply to this.

                            So I bought this phone and its pretty good with everything. I just want to know about Pubg. I really want to play but I am afraid if Pubg causes damages to the phone ( slow charge, fast battery draining....) I may start playing with no issues but after some months my phone will be a mess and need a new one. If you have any experience with my problem please answer me !

                              MarcoPolo, 14 Aug 2020Wdym maxed frame rate? I can get stable 90 FPS with this phone.I don't think its a true 90fps or atleast 60+fps, I feel like its 30~ fps because I noticed to those people streaming CoDM using Iphone/gaming phone that has maxed frame rate is their gameplay is smooth af even on long distance scope in Battle Royal compare to RN8P that I've been using is the movement is like 30-45 fps avg. or high settings level.

                                nak3dsnail, 14 Aug 2020Just like my first comment, why does RealMe 6 have a maxed ... moreAh I do know why. That phone has a 90 Hz screen so it supports 90 fps most likely. Or 60+. This would be useless and just make the phone get hotter and discharge faster and you would get 0 improvements because this phone can only go 60 Hz. Hope this helps. Btw, there is a slightly difference between 60 and 90 Hz but nothing from ground to sky level.

                                    Prex, 13 Aug 2020Its about the chipset, not ram.Just like my first comment, why does RealMe 6 have a maxed frame rate option on CoDM but Redmi Note 8 Pro doesn't have? They're both same chipset Mediatek Helio G90T.
