Quality Phone for Cheap $$
Hi Everyone
Just got my Redmi 6A delivered yesterday. I ordered it with the blue back and the white face. Nice looking phone.
Surprises:
1. Face unlock only if Region set to India? Not sure why ... but it works this way.
2. Dual SIM trays + dedicated micro SD tray > nice ....
3. Dual 4G VoLTE > I'm on Bell and Telus > Confirmed !!! Woohoo > on a phone that cost less than $200 CAD
4. Call quality is excellent so far ... I haven't had the opportunity to use is farther away from an urban center yet ...
Overall - fairly snappy on MiUI 9.6 Global Stable - lots of customization options .... still setting it all up ... So far I really think this was a great buy - in fact I might go as far as saying one of the best buys I have made in years. Very happy with it so far.

The whorst purchase in 2018. Rating 2.5. will be beautiful in my closed, only this.
Got one as a backup phone and for the price is excellent. (bare in mind this is and entry level device... the lowest tier on Android devices, do not expect to be amazed!).
The SoC performs very well and even under heavy load does not warm too much, Android comes almost vanilla and so far just go 2 security updates. No bloatware, no nothing. Screen is small but very responsive.
Very fast response even on app switching, good mic and speaker, small to fit in any pocket and you actually can use chrome with a good performance.
Now the camera is entry level quality (still better than the ones on Vodafone brand devices with the same price tag), the screen is bellow HD and of course small and you will need an SDcard because it only has about 4.5GiB available in the eMMC.
For the price this will do wonders imho.
Phone is very compact and very easy for single handed usage.
stock android with nokia promise of software updates
Its all you can expect from this.
Very slow interface, very bad camera.

Price/Performens is the best i seen!
Best Mobile in this price group
Something's strange about this phone... I got it together with Xperia XZ2 from my operator and I have to say that I love both of them.
Motorola has some older CPU, mid class display but it gives this strange joy of use, even when used in parallel with much higher class device. Great experience.
So... overall love ? Yes, a big love
i get even more

Im glad i bought it.
So after taking great care of my s7 edge over the years i owned it. After unlocking the bootloader and once debloated it hummed. Sadly it fell 3inches and shattered the screen of my s7edge.. So i saw this Mi Play on sale for 109$ with purchase of full insurance for a year i bought it. Ive never had Xaomi device and didnt know what to expect. It has 4g ram 64gb hd stock 2 sim trays and a gpu thats not bad. So the phone arrived and the packaging was nice(no real manual). The device is so slim it looks like its smaller then my s7 or evn my j6. Its not... The screen is larger then both devices , its just a slim phone. It looks great and the screen is very vivid and sharp so its nice for small fonts. The Miui software is simply a layer over Andriod that tries to integrate itself with failure. If you use it you will be advertised to while browsing your files,changing resolution,setting screenlock options. As a warning remove or disable Miui asap. After a few days i had it how i wanted it and havnt seen an ad sense. It runs better then my s7 in everyday use by far. No lag at all ever, and it plays Terriaria mobile perfectly . I like that i can just touch the fingerprint button and not have to wait for the screen to come on. Its a nice phone and its gonna be wide open here soon guys. Currently with full control with root and i could see me using this phone for another year or 2. In all im glad i got it, i really enjoy this phone and since theres nobody else saying so i figured i should say something .

I love my RN7,now falling in love in my RN8 pro..
It's amazing..and yes.. you can love your phone ?
Love speed, camera, battery. For me personally it's far better then my former phone (Mi Mix 2s)
Little cons:
- notification LED is far too small
- backside is too slippery (I won't use it without a case)
Display.. this is the perfect size and I love this phone..
Battery.. ?
I have ordered the phone 6/128 variant, will get tomorrow or day after. I'm excited but worrisome about the camera result at the same time. Let's see
Mine should also arrive tomorrow. I went with 6/64 variant, but that's good enough for me. Will report after a couple of days of use.
This is a really good phone at a really good price.
I just love the battery charging speed in this price segment.
I got my phone today and reading mode is turned off still at night, my display seems yellowish.
Check the screenshot.
This phone is everything I expected and more. The only few cons are overshadowed by it's price. Guess everyone was wrong about G90T. No oveeheating, smooth peeformance all the way. Also... more than decent primary shooter, great battery life,... Glad I went for this over P20 Lite. And cheaper too. Now only thing left is the wait until MIUI 11.
my good old Samsung Note 4 broke down, now I also have a Redmi Note 8 Pro, I love the phone too xD
Phone is awesome
Note 8 Pro Love
Had my phone a couple of days - upgraded from redmi note 7. So far loving it, seems really quick and glad to now have NFC. Face unlock is very quick and the main camera seems to be good - more testing needed though. Only annoying thing is lack of HD playback on Netflix.

I like this phone. Good quality, very fast, and battery life is amazing. My biggest downfall is lacking immediate bootloader unlock and lack of ROMs. I am hoping this phone will become more free and capable of customization.
The phone is really good and fast, apart from few problems, everything else is love. Camera is having some real issues and those for sure are due to software. Hardware for the main camera is the same as Realme XT then why improved video quality for XT? Xiaomi needs to improve the camera software so that you can rate this phone 10/10.
USA version that works with AT&T
Can any verify if RN8 / Pro will support AT&T LTE?

If your carrier have LTE, phone support it.
I have 4G+ with my provider. Telenor
By far the best 230$ I've ever spent on a device. Just updated to miui 11 they def made some great improvements. My gf has a big gig note 9 she's like I want a RN8 pro her daughter has a S8 plus she's ordering one today. The camera and fluidness with this phone is amazing. Say what you want but this mediatek soc gets things done. There's rumors of a SD 730g series RN 8 pro but it's not going to happen it's a rumor so people are waiting for that variant to come out. Lol enjoy your wait.
Hello! Do you have information when the pixel experience firmware comes out on Redmi Note 8 Pro?
Bought it online China set China rom with installed Google 8/126, tried to find indian version due to dedicated sd card but not available. Previously owns mi max prime with global rom and it was easy to play with because google is available.
With RN8P china set/rom i had to explore deeply especially when using the browser which automatically give us several option either using baidu or sm (dun know what is this). Even cant use in app purchase at first which makes me feel little disappointed and ready to unlock and install global rom :laugh: and already download the software to start the operation
Luckily, after exploring in the phone i can change the browser in english permanently (unless i reset it) and also watched in youtube how to enable in app purchase if using china rom.
Now i feel happy because the replacement of my loyal mi max prime is up to my standard
Camera: Excellent with lot of option (i'm not expert but it looks great) dont need gcam...for now
Speed/Charging: Fast response
Network: Sometime I've got 4+ even though my line is supporting up to 4g only
Memory: Great, 126gb is my minimum standard requirement, can expand it using sd card
Keyboard: I'm using xperia
Gaming: Not a fan for heavy games for android. Got only Clash of Clans and Candy Crush...yeah just 2:laugh: but kind noticed the changing in temperature at back body.
Sound: Loud and clear, need to memorized that the ear speaker hole is just at the top edge
Processor: MTK? SD? nah....i'm not an expert
Satisfaction: Human never satisfied..just call it enough to sustain at least 2 years from now

The best phone I had sees the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. It feels sturdy and I like the heaviness (I am the kind of guy who add the keyboard extension to an Xbox controller for make it heavier). The battery doesn't drain on heavy use nether does it feel like a toaster in the hands. It is the smoothest experience I ever had.
I am not fan of cameras on phone, it can't compare to a true camera. So not having the best camera on this phone is not a problem. It does the job I need it to do.
Black crush is a bit annoying in some cases but I am sure it'll be fixed and I didn't experienced it often. Before this phone I had a Galaxy note 2, Galaxy S7 edge, HTC U Ultra and a Galaxy note 10 plus on hands but none of this phone gave me a woah effect. Until I got my hands on this phone.
Only regret is that this phone will never have a big community, so there will not have much things going on this forum. But even so I am a proud owner of this of the rog phone 3.
5* from me

I had a Xiaomi Mi 9 before this phone, and I like the ROG Phone 3 a lot more!
Even the cameras are better than the Mi 9's cameras, which means good enough for me.
As @bASKOU wrote, the ROG 3 is quite sturdy and heavy - that's fine! -, and it's quite well balanced, so you can use it one handed (plus there is a dedicated option for this too), the 6Ah battery is a WIN, coupled with the SD865+ SoC you can't deplete it in a day - I charge it once in like 3 or even 4 days!
Yeah, it's a niche phone, it will never be the tinkerers' dream, there won't be dozens of custom ROMs and kernels for it - but for me it's also not a problem, since it has stock Android 10 (let's hope that ASUS will update it soon to Android 11 ), and the stock launcher is snappy enough (still, I'm using Nova Launcher Prime, since I love it!).
The 144Hz display is good enough, even if it has black crush visible here and there - that's also not a dealbreaker for me.
I bought the 12/128GB Tencent version with the global ROM, which I was able to update to the latest global (WW) ROM - everything's fine, there are no stutters, everything feels buttery smooth...
So let's sum it: I love my ROG Phone 3, it's the phone of my dreams, it ticks all the checkboxes for me.
I'm coming off a Oneplus 7T, which is a great little phone.
The Rog 3 has made me forget about it completely (well almost, nostalgia aside).
Have definitely fallen hard for this device.
More so than any other phone I've owned (despite its short comings).
I look forward to a good couple of years, using my new Rog 3.
