I do not see a phonebook on the phone. I use the sim cards and google account to store contacts. Is there a way to open the phonebook – if it exists?
The phone come with built-in contact app. Just open the dialer, built-in contact is the third element under the screen!
I know about the contacts in the right bottom corner. There is a contacts sign on the phone, but when I open any of these, it take me to simcard contacts and Google contacts as the accounts on my phone. No phone contacts.
Ok…Just one more thing…There is an option that talks about contact to show in your contact settings, please ensure this option is set to “All”. I hope this help!
Does the phone overheat when browsing
Not at all! I had smooth experience using the phone
Please Ekpa, how much did you buy yours and where in Nigeria?
I got mine @55k from slot.ng
Hi…does it have fast charging option? And is the charging port type C?
You get 10W charger in the box, but no USB-C, and it does not really charge very fast, but the 10W charger does help.
Please between the redmi 9c and Infinix hot 8, which is better overall, and which is better in terms of gaming?
Redmi 9C…Absolutely!
Okay thanks
Comment: please what is the current price for the redmi 9c?
