FAQ

Q:How are things going with autonomy? How long does the battery last?
A: That's all well and good. Not Redmi of course, but enough for a day. By the evening of active use (messengers, browser, youtube) there remains about 20-30% of the charge. In auto-brightness mode, you can count on 6-7 hours of screen operation. If you play - depends on the resource-intensive games.reasoning / experience

Q:What's up with the screen? They write that it has some kind of mesh, diagonal stripes, points ...
A: Indeed, some see diagonal stripes, if you look goodphoto strips / photo of the matrix under the microscopeThe vast majority of users do not interfere with the use of the telephone at all.

Q:You see small black lights around the bangs, so it should be?
A: Yes, everything is in order. It is impossible to make absolutely uniform illumination on the curved edge of the display.

Q:Is there really a problem with the wifi signal strength?
A: Partially. Not critical. The signal drops are tightly close the upper part of the body with a palm, there are antennas there. In one way or another, this is characteristic of many smartphones.Read more

Q:Does the 40 MHz Wi-Fi band operate in the 2.4 GHz band?
A: No, only 20 MHz. This is an old Qualcomm sore, there is no fix on our phone. In the 5 GHz range, there is no problem: link 433 Mbps.

Q:Is there enough 4 GB of RAM? Or buy for 6 GB?
A: Enough. At the moment, no one complained about the lack of 4 GB. With normal use of the phone from 4 GB free about 2 GB.

Q:Are gestures supported by a fingerprint scanner?
A: No. And it is unknown whether there will be support in the future.

Q:Are microSD cards supported?
A: Yes. The phone has a combined universal tray: either 2 nano-sim or nano-sim + memory card.

Q:Is there an infrared port on the phone?
A: No.

Q:Is there autofocus in the front camera?
A: No.

Q:Is out of the box access to Camera2API open?
A: No, access is closed on both MIUI 9 and MIUI 10. Presumably, the Camera2 API will be activated on the expected Android Pie - this is one of the Android Pie certification requirements.

Q:Is there a notification LED?
A: Yes. Top middle over the speaker slot. Small and monochrome (white).

Q:Does the recording of phone calls work?
A: Yes, it works without third-party applications. Will work on Android 9 - not known.

Q:Updated to MIUI 10 and missing some icons (including the alarm clock) in the status bar. How so?
A: So the manufacturer conceived, fewer icons in the status bar, look for notifications in the blind.

Q:Can I turn on the display of percent charge?
A: You can, this is chosen by topic. Or in the settings: Settings / Notifications and status bar / battery indicator.

Q:Screen Gorilla Glass?
A: Not known for certain. Xiaomi regional manager at a presentation in Ukraine said that there is Gorilla Glass 5, but this is not specified in any official specification.

Q:Are there any problems with the microphone?
A: Three users hear clicks on audio message, video or voice recorder recordings. So when you buy it will not be superfluous to check the microphone.

Q:Does aptX work out of the box?
A: Yes, it works. Verified No gestures do not need. If SBC writes about connecting the ears, then the problem is in the ears.

Q:How fast does the QC 3.0 charge?
A: 1 hour 50 minutes - from 0% to 100% of the full charge 5 V 2 A.
1 hour 23 minutes - from 0% to 100% of the original QC 3.0 charging Xiaomi (in 25 minutes exactly 40%, and in 40 minutes already 69%)

Q:Instagram stories are displayed incorrectly, cropped around the edges. How to fix?
A: Not yet. This is an application problem, not a smartphone. Wait and hope that once the authors of Instagram will fix ...

Q:Does the complete adapter with a Type-C to 3.5 mm have a built-in DAC / amplifier?
A: No. Passive adapter. D / A amplifier built into the phone.

nash12, I had problems, then there is no Internet after the conversation, then E is on when it catches 4g, ideally something else. I have a megaphone.
Everyone was shouting at one throat, it was necessary to change the SIM card and so on.
I end up! Just went to the developer from the globalka on the 9th Android after 3 points. There are no problems at all. And what did not change the SIM card does not matter.

superkrutyago to DEVELOPERKU. Much better than stock globalka. Faster, smoother, full-screen video on YouTube. Well, still a bunch of small things. The camera does not lag me. Battery consumption is less.

[Mr Klim]

Alex733ru @ 03.11.19, 14:42

go to DEVELOPERKU. Much better than stock globalka.

When moving, all data is erased?

[superkrutya]

Alex733ru, question, for the sake of curiosity, and the network settings there are the same as in a stable? 4G / 3G / 2G?

[rafael666]

Alex733ru @ 03.11.19, 17:42

full-screen video in Youtube

and the stock is not the whole or what?

[Kresko]

Mr Klim, Yes

[_luckyduck]

rafael666, on the status of the bar cuts off, the developer should bang on

[HAPblB]

I have a question about the gallery. Previously, in the face mode, you could poke a photo and highlight the names found (or the question of who it is). Now the lights do not find. AI does not always correctly determine if I would like to return the possibility of editing

Fantomas_2009 @ 03/11/19, 14:23

Who said

I mean that the loud statement "cam2api without root" is just zilch. For the root is a minor (and generally minor) question, compared to unlock. You do not agree?
A person reads “cam2api without root” and suggests that this means expanding the functionality without any global intervention in the software. And in fact it is not (impossible).

[fantomas_2009]

Reanimax, I can’t argue because I’ve done this myself, I just saw the video, read the comments under it, many people write that it works, one just does it for a long time loading TVs and writes why nobody talks about it, because the method really works, and everyone does it or not he decides, and by the way unlock is required for this)

[Ruhr]

Today, my wife on this device somehow installed the Google keyboard. Maybe someone will tell you how to return your own? In the list of keyboards only she.

[sergey_gum]

A couple of days ago, he wrote that the 4G connection on tel2 disappears, after activating volte, not a single break so far. Dual 4G mode was also disabled, just after that the volta was activated and the connection became stable.

[serg4455]

Hello everyone, I constantly turn on the screen on my own. Lies off and on its own lights up and goes out again. What could it be. Worth the latest developer firmware

[Alex733ru]

Mr KlimYes, but you can save

Posted 11/03/2019 at 21:11:

rafael666, of course not. Only on the developer in full screen. And the bang is correct

[Andrey_Dnepr]

Maybe notifications from something come, check and settings-lock and protection-wake when you receive notifications.

No, there is off

[li4nost]

Hello to all. I choose here the phone. liked mi8 light. I read reviews and figured that you can take a pokofon with Ali for the same money.
but the subject of the marriage of the pokofon scares.
Are there any problems with mi8 light?

[rafael666]

li4nost, you see with eyesight problems. Pocophone 6 / 64- $ 275 on Ali, mi 8 lite 6 / 128- $ 249 on Ali. Completely different devices with a completely different iron, it is impractical to compare them.

[Hari Krishna]

HAPblBhow to select face mode? For the first time I hear about it!)

[Kresko]

li4nost, Pokofon - if you need a cool iron and you do not give a damn about the poor appearance. Mi 8 Light - if you need a good iron and a nice appearance.
