The note got 8 processors. Really all 8 fire up or like sammy,only 4 up 4 down?

Supposedly all 8 can be fired up concurrently, unlike Sammy's 4+4.

MediaTek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But the question is how many apps/games are actually capable of fully utilising 8 cores? Sammy uses the big.little configuration from ARM of 4 fast (big) core and 4 power efficient (little) core. Which works great for the most part. Mediatek's solution is 8 (little) cores. So yeah.

I think its all down to labelling....

On the box its labelled as 3200mah

On the battery itself its labelled 3100/3200(min/typical)

Mystery solved???
The official statement I got from Xiaomi SG is that its a 3,100mAh battery.

The decision made by the company is to state 3,100mAh as the official spec.

I will be making amendments to the redmi note review soon.

thanks

It's probably in the packaging but it has not be assigned the shipping numbers yet and should be somewhere in their own facilities.

Must see the "Transport information" part at below. We can track the item only when the transport number is provided.

Parallel turbo charge, or twin charge is better?

How many cores it fires up depends on the processing power the app requires, even if the programmer did not program it to use 8 cores, the mediatek chip fires up 8 cores and work in parallel automatically. Each core is a low powered A7 so on standby or non CPU intensive app its very power saving as it does not require all 8 cores.

Lol what a ******* joke:s13:.....some sinkie started this ebay auction for xiaomi note

Started at SGD1 and now reached SGD230
Xiaomi Redmi Note Singapore SET | eBay

But lo and behold! Only 4 different bidders, of which 2 of them have been bidding in ridiculous increment amounts. 1 of the bidders have even been outbidding his own bid when no new bids came in. The most blatant scam job ever:s22:

So much effort to earn a measly couple dollars. Spend more time in forex better.

I just checked and found my to be delivered with UPS. Anyone know how to request for a certain timing for delivery? I need to do so because still to some issue most of the time there is no one at home.

they will tell you wait for first missed delivery before you reschedule to a time slot of your preference.

That's kind of stupid because it wastes manpower.

I suggest to call their customer service centre to arrange something if you know that the delivery would be on a certain day.

Edit: tracking number is live.
"Scheduled Delivery Updated To:
Wednesday, 16/07/2014, By End of Day"
