Fellow nairalanders,help review my case...I got a xiaomi note 2 frm someone,but i'm seeking ur opinion on whether it's cloned or not..First,it has a medium-sized circle that looks lyk a fingerprint scanner,but it isnt.Second,its has 3gb ram bt 16gb internal with sd card support. Third,whenever i select 3g only mode or 4g only mode in mtk engineerng mode,it tells me "3g is off" and switches to 2g automatically. Fourth,it has no updater app.Fifth,in 'about phone' (under settings), it displays 'redmi note3' as model number yet the phone has those 3 red backlight navigation buttons...What do you all think?

Me thinks you've been jobbed.

But if I may ask, who clones xiaomi phones? Cos they r relatively unknown in Nigeria. I won't lie, I only knew of xiaomi a couple of months back and virtually nobody at my place of work knows it. They r all waiting to see the phone I have been hyping and frankly, I got to know of xiaomi via this xiaomi thread. My former favourite was lenovo k3 note and lenovo is a sort of more popular brand.

So how do people clone a fone dat ain't even popular to the average person?

Xiaomi is a very popular brand in China. It is a sort of China's own "Apple" Brand.

On the contrary, xiaomi are so popular in China that they have so many clones for a single device.

The clones of xiaomi phones are much more than you can imagine, there are clones you won't even recognize easily. We should all be warned, don't just go after the sweet offer. When you see some unbeatable prices, you should be more careful, though some are smart to sell for same price as original. Those Chinese guys are far tricky than you can imagine.

That's just it... People rush at offers without thinking twice... Like the order mi Note 50k..

I have seen a review of the elephone S7... Its identical to Samsung Note 7... Though the phone is not bad.. but holding it you see much difference..

New phones may be released which could alter your choices and at the same time, we expect a price of older model such as note 3 pro.

However, if no such thing happens, you would have had enough time to study your initial choices more.

Also keep an eye on exchange rate!

So it is possible dat one can purchase a xiaomi from aliexpress, geekbuying or gearbest and it wud be a clone? Cos dey don't sell xiaomi in naija. They r mainly imported. And the naija guys selling the fake one wud hv most probably bought it online cos u can't travel to China just to buy a fone

Nice..... any leaks on what to expect in February

Redmi note 4 for Indian market

Its certainly possible, but the likes of gearbest will refund you if you show them proof the phone you bought was fake.. Though I have never had that experience, and I must have purchased well over 10 phones from gearbest.. Naija importers buy cheap clone phones from China and sell it of to gullible buyers, these phones are very very cheap in China..You need to go to Shenzen ( I visited in 2014) the clone capital of the world, the only thing they haven't cloned yet na human beings..

Paxziano:


I didn't ship directly to naija. I shipped to my bro in scotland. Geekbuying took 30days to hand it over to DHL. DHL took 3days to ship it.

For the item they sent via Singapore post, I still ain't got it. I asked y they sent it separately since I paid for DHL. Dey sed the items were in different warehouses and bringing them 2geda wud delay further

Bro can we chat on WhatsApp, it's really urgent. .. or drop ur number. Thanks

Please what xiaomi phone would you recommend is best for 50k

Redmi 4 pro

Find myself in the same boat

Dem nr b mates for any department apart from the more sturdy metallic design on the redmi 4 pro. The redmi note series are always ahead of the redmi series in the ranking. Even if both phones have the same screen size, the redmi note has better hardwares.

I think I will go for RN3 Special Edition.... just in case Glo 4G reach my side or what do you think?
