It's the same thing as Samsung's Dual Apps feature, you can have two accounts of the same app on one device

It is slightly different

The Second Space feature on Xiaomi smartphones is also known as Dual device mode and if you are confusing it with the Dual Apps option then it should be noted that while the dual apps options allows you to duplicate WhatsApp, Messenger, and other such apps, the second space allows you to create a separate space on your smartphone to keep anything like personal photos, files, apps, documents etc.

Ahhh, so that is what it is. Thanks for the replies.

Nah. Will not have work stuff on my phone. Work stuff stays on work phone, work phone get switched off over weekends and after-hours, finish en klaar.

For guys with side-chicks, it may be worth looking at.

As an aside, using second space / dual apps breaks Android Auto in car connectivity.

Ask me how I know....

Am I right in believing that both SIM slots on the Note 8 are 4G enabled?

Yup. Tested with an MTN SIM and an FNB Connect SIM in mine

So going to buy $Wife one as well.

Was a Huawei fanboi until I got my first Xiaomi.

My old Max 3 has both Sims doing 4g. They can even both be on at the same time, thereby drastically reducing download times.

Let me know if you manage. I need to convince the fiance to move from her Samsung

Need to, her Huawei's doing funny things - the primary SIM does not always pick up 3G, so something funky with the hardware.

Go to settings > Battery & Performance >Battery usage stats > slide up to see Apps ranking.
Not telling much but it's a start.

I've had a 9c for a while now. 2GB version. Lekker phone without any issues. Calls are crystal clear when I use MTN for calls to say a Telkom landline for example.

The Vodacom line is not good with calls.
So I use MTN SIM for voice and Vodacom for data. Happy camper with this phone's dual SIM ability

Screen.

If it's the screen, see how low you can set the brightness to still be comfortable for reading.

You are playing too much with your new toy.

 

[Fred07]

Also remember Dark Mode is meant for night viewing. Not daylight stuff (won't help your battery drain problem).

Something you maybe installed?

Sure it will. Reason why people begged Google for a systemwide dark mode for yonks.
