Dear Nairalanders,

Whenever you are faced with buying a new smartphone for personal use, which of these 2 options do you consider most vital in making your decision?

Price or Specs?

The price (your budget) determines the specs you would look out for.

Very well said.

But sometimes people just go "I need a 50K Phone" and by that, just any spec would do. Also, others might just say "I need a 4gb RAM phone" and by that too, any price would suffice.

Thanks though.

What l care about? Is to make sure the smartphone model is not from Tecno, Itel or Infnix

LOL!!!

You must really hate them so much that you have to include you own set of options.

Thanks for the input.

I very well get your point now. Right now, I'm out for gyroscope, > 441PPI and 3GB Ram.

Specs then. Great pick.

The camera is all I actually care about.

+1 for Price.

I agree with you. Most of these phones really lack the much needed support in terms of spares and fixes.

Hmmm.. thanks for the recommendation. Can you please do a quick comparison between the Phantom 6 and Blackberry for me. I'm quick unsure what to go for since I'm not particularly Tech savvy.

Well, we all have what we love and hate. People will flee from Tecno, Infinix, Samsung, iPhone...u know.

Innjoo in this case is different, if 10 people should purchase an Innjoo phone, expect 8 of them to complain about one issue or another.
Innjoo looked like a promising company but they just weren't ready to produce quality phones. I don't know what they are doing about this currently. You can look up threads created about Innjoo and user's plight using their devices.

You have a fan #power

Spec most times determine the price.

That doesn't neglect the flagship killers or budget phones with great specs and cheap price tag. A quote from MKBHD "Good phones are getting cheaper and cheap phones are getting better".

Mind you some phones might be packing in the spec on paper but can barely perform in functionality.

The price first bruh. By the way, I wan blow whistle ooo, buh EFCC never give me my own whistle

Spec na
