Review on Xiaomi Camera Factory Unlocked Smartphone Cell Phones & Accessories by Vassil Georgiev ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Its not a good product, its a pity that I spent money on it.

My initial thought was that he was pouring milk not to me, but to China, as if I had purchased a cow equipped with a milking machine. Although the phone is compatible with Quick Charge 3, the provided charger is not Quick Charge 3. cool. Get it if you need a quick charger. Concerning a cow whose milk is shipped to China. So, I spent good money for a phone and now I'm stuck with continually watching Xiaomi commercials. Wow, you guys are nice. Everywhere you look, advertising! And remember to disable it in each and every program! The thinking, it seems, goes like this: since you can't afford a regular phone, we figure we can at least make a few cents off of this intrusive commercial. My opinion is that the less money you spend on a phone, the more of a "hacker" you have to be to use it properly. The icing on the cake is that the phone quickly fills up the available storage space; in this case, 20 of the 32 GB of memory shown in the image. so out of a total of 32 GB, 12 GB is used up by "Other" (I've now come to realize that this number keeps increasing until there is no more room in the system's RAM). Nowhere does it make it obvious what this "Other" is. Holy crap, I need MY on my phone, not OTHER! Same outcome from my regular cleaning routine (oil shammy, paid cleaning app installation). Therefore, I solved the problem by going to the MIUI / Gallery / cloud /. trashBin folder in the files, where I discovered the "Other" — namely, files from the xiaomi cloud that the phone had failed to remove and had not recognized as garbage. This "Other" started reappearing after I deleted it, so I switched off synchronization with the Xiaomi Cloud, and the problem went away. This is one such gadget, and I believe the following information applies to many other phones from this manufacturer, not just the Redmi 9. Consider whether you are prepared to learn the ins and outs of its operation and whether you are willing to climb the learning curve and disable adverts in EVERY system application separately, even if you only want a phone for calls, a browser, and instant messengers.

Pros
  • Price includes battery, case, and film protector.
Cons
  • There is no way to move apps to a memory card, a horrible camera, annoying adverts in many popular apps, a cumbersome fingerprint scanner, and the fact that the phone itself takes up precious storage space on the main memory.
