Will Xiaomi ever bring their flagships to South Africa?

I believe they will. They growing incredibly fast now with Huawei basically out the picture with no Play store support.

My phone is a cheap Redmi 9C. I can honestly say I've never been happier with a phone. Solid, big clear display, phone calls clear, fast, battery is 5000 mAH.

All this quality in a phone and the software is rock solid. And it only cost me R2000 from Takealot. And it's the 2GB RAM version....they sold out now in SA.

The 3GB version still in stock. Only around R200 to R400 more and it has 64GB storage instead of 32GB...

Can't go wrong with Xiaomi. Good phone's. :cool::love:
 
I look at the crazy prices of some "flagship" Sagsmug and Whawee phones, then ask myself why would you willingly shackle yourself to that expensive piece of tat when you could just purchase a good, basic Xiaomi device at a quarter (or even less) of the price and be free of a crippling contractual debt?

Naaah, going forward I will no more purchase phones on contract, will rather get m2m SIM contracts and buy Xiaomi devices and pay these off over 4 or 6 months instead.

Mostly for the better camera performance. Midrangers have "good enough" cameras but not the best.

UI performance isnt that big of a difference between proper midrangers and flagships

MediaTek Dimensity 800U octa-core CPU, up to 2.4GHz Redmi Note 9T offers a generational leap in flagship-grade performance and power efficiency. With its MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC and brand new ...

Better specs, but not using snapdragon which worries me...? 800U chipset any good ?

Difficult to find the 9S or 9 pro these days under R5000

The newer Mediatek chips are very good actually. Dont think you will get custom roms for those devices but for most people that wont matter

Is there any way to force apps to install themselves on the SD card instead of phone memory?

In Developer Options, if you check under the Apps section, there is a toggle that states 'Force allow apps to write on external storage'. I don't know whether this pertains to apps under development or to apps already/about to be installed but it may be worth investigating.
 
Wonder when we'll get the Note 10 readily available from local sources. Not a bad price from Amazon though.
