Redmi 6 Pro Review (Hands-On User Review)
I’ve been using the new Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro and I still don’t really understand the need for this mobile. It’s the same proven formula used over and over by Xiaomi. A Snapdragon 625 + large 4000mAh battery. But that’s now a bore. Maybe it is true Xiaomi bought up the last of the Snapdragon 625 stock nobody wanted to touch but in return gain a big discount on the flagship chi...[Read More]
Deals: Mi Robot Vacuum For $279 – Smart Mapping Robot Vacuum
Update: The Mi Robot Vacuum is back on sale, but now $10 lower at $279. One of the best additions to my house has been the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum 2 or the Roborock S50/V2 I got last year. No more vacuuming the house and set on a daily scheduled clean it keeps the floors looking good. This first gen model on sale is just as good with active laser mapping and all the features just missing out on the...[Read More]

OnePlus 6 Vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Camera Comparison
Before the full camera comparison is live on YouTube, here are some stills of video and photos of the Mi 8 Vs OnePlus 6 comparison I’m editing. You’ll see the video is rather soft on the OnePlus 6, soft due to the 4k EIS as it has to crop so not a native 4k 1:1 output this is expected. But it’s even softer than the OnePlus 5T I had. At times it’s almost as if it was 2560 x ...[Read More]

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Chinese Model With Upgraded Camera
It was rumored that we weren’t ever going to see the Redmi Note 5 after the Redmi 5 Plus was to allegedly replace it. This came from a mod that worked in the Xiaomi forums, however, clearly, he was wrong. The Redmi Note 5 Pro and now this new Redmi Note 5 is out and this is really just a tweaked Redmi Note 5 Pro Indian variant, however, Xiaomi made sure it ships with Android 8.1 Oreo out of ...[Read More]

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro Bios 0401 SSD Fix & Unlocked XTU Settings
I took a risk with this one, ordered this unit 3 weeks ago and struck it lucky, this is one of the newer models of the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro and it comes with bios 0401. Why is this important? Well if you caught my review of the Mi Notebook Pro the SSD slot was only running at x2 speed on both SSD slots, so it never let the Samsung PM961 256GB NVMe run at full x4 speed. Limiting reads to around 1...[Read More]
Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13 2018 Review Online
The Mi Notebook Air 13.3″ model got a refresh and it’s the second one. I was half expecting a completely new redesign, something like the Dell XPS. But this new 2018 revision sees it more or less becoming a smaller lighter version of the Mi Notebook Pro as it shares the same 8th Gen Intel i5 8250U or i7 8550U CPU’s. And the same paint job. The touchpad and keyboard also got a min...[Read More]
