Meister:majority of the video reviews from different creators in different countries I have seen has either been on the oppo reno 8 5g or the oppo reno 8 Pro, I think they just decided to send the more powerful models to everyone. Now what I am not sure of is whether they sent this particular model of their phone to any Nigerian content creator (majority of them don't disclose how they got the phone) if what you are saying is true then it is either an oversight from them or they are just behaving in a scummy manner as usual. |
Phones / Re: The Oppo Reno 8 Scam That You Must Know by garugaru: 5:26pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
Meister:i am not defending them, my point has always been that the person buying a phone should make sure he knows and his sure of what he his buying before paying because some phone manufacturer are just playing fast and loose with their naming scheme |
Phones / Re: The Oppo Reno 8 Scam That You Must Know by garugaru: 5:23pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
atheistandproud:go to their website one phone is named reno 8 5g the other one is named reno 8, this naming scheme is unhelpful to say the least. In this case I would blame the top sites that come up when you Google oppo reno 8 they have really done little to differentiate between oppo reno 8 5g and oppo reno 8 |
Phones / Re: The Oppo Reno 8 Scam That You Must Know by garugaru: 3:59pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
atheistandproud:majority of these phone companies have complicated naming schemes for their devices, the phone companies should do better and the buyers should do enough due diligence. |

atheistandproud:It makes no feasible sense for these companies to sell their phones in Nigeria at our official rate, i have not seen any news information from oppo talking about releasing their phones at the price you quoted in your video (oppo isn't selling at that price because it is not inline with economic reality of country ) or any price at all. What is more likely to be the case was what I posted earlier. So what? Oppo hasn't broken any law if it chooses to price it's phone using parallel market rate (which I think it likely does) If oppo itself had come out and put it somewhere that: "our phones are sold at the official rate" then your anger would probably be justified. As you said in you video the people you meet told you that "this is the price we were told to sell it". |

Phones / Re: The Oppo Reno 8 Scam That You Must Know by garugaru: 1:04pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
Meister:majority of phone manufacturers do this, they will usually send their device with buffier specs to reviewers, even when they send all their range of devices to reviewers, reviewers usually prefer to put more coverage on the device with buffier specs. I am not saying this behaviour is not scummy I am only pointing out that it is the way of the world and buyers should always beware. |
Phones / Re: The Oppo Reno 8 Scam That You Must Know by garugaru: 12:58pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
atheistandproud: Yes show me one of these big companies that put the price of their phones on their website. I think with our situation in Nigeria it is best to assume these people sell their phones at the parallel rate. I am not defending anyone's criminal behaviour, I am only showing angles that you have not explored. |

atheistandproud:the person in your story only fell victim to scummy marketing tactics of phone manufacturers and the laziness of the people posting phone spec on the internet. the price he paid for the phone would have been a valid issue if he had not paid a fair price for the phone, in your video you use the following prices: Reno 8 5g- N278k ($574 @[N484 per dollar]) Reno 8 - N178k (€330 @[N539 per euro]) these prices are the at official rate of exchange, i do not think it is possible as at now or at the time the person in your story bought his phone to get forex at the official rate to buy a phone (i would really like to be wrong). a pricing structure inline with our reality in this country would look like this: Reno 8 5g- N427k ($574 @[N745 per dollar]) Reno 8 - N254k (€330 @[N777 per euro]) the phone the person in your story wants in reality costs considerably more and he was not really cheated. |
Phones / Re: Is Oppo phone in Nigeria A Scam ? by garugaru: 10:17am On Jan 08, 2023 |
i do not think the op asked the right questions when he was buying the phone, oppo's naming scheme is pretty confusing and it is probably intentional. the op should have made sure that the rep confirmed the chipset on the phone before buying. the op probably just googled the phone and made his order based on that information which is obviously wrong. the phone the op wants is called oppo reno 8 5g, the phone he bought is oppo reno 8, most websites call the phone oppo reno 8 but display the spec of oppo reno 8 5g. technically it is no oppo's fault that he ordered the wrong phone but in a sane society he should be able to return the phone, i guess our society isn't a sane one. |
