Good morning everybody..I am less of a writer so skip over the blunders...
I will forever thank TECNO for pushing me over to XIAOMI..I'm forever grateful
.
If you're still using TECNO and other phone based in Nigeria..you're being cheated upon and your hard earned money is being ripped away from you..
..before you criticize,i was a TECNO fan..I used TECNO L3 for 2years..the screen got cracked I couldn't get it replaced and even the small power button wasn't even available now tell me what's the essence of Carl care?
.
I am currently using my TECNO L8+ ,Great phone..good battery..and the phone served me well..but this phone can Hang for Africa..but still I was managing it because i thought that was the best I could get for less than 50k compared to Apple and Samsung..so I was gladly rocking it and waiting patiently for TECNO L9+
.
Seriously..with the specs..I was already expecting the phone should be around 40k-50k..I so much fell in love with the phone. Do check unboxing Videos,followed TECNO on Facebook,twiiter,Instagram .I was so much anticipating the #Beast!!...I even reposted the Phone on my Instagram
.
But the wait was killing me..and there was no New phone from any company..so then I decided to check what's in this 0-300+ XIAOMI thread..I said to myself "if this Thing ain't too e no go pass 100pages"
.
So I clicked on the page...mhen!!!..I saw specs I thought only existed on Flagship devices for less than 30k..Jesu! Apostle must hear this!
.
I was seeing pple testifying daily.. unboxing .. appealing.. delivering...GUYS I SAW REAL.PHONE SPECS FOR THE FIRST TIME...I SAW BEAST I CANT IMAGINE EXISTING......and I was converting with the official exchange rate not knowing it was just 320naira to 1dollar
.
I was seeing Mad phones for 26k...30k..34k... 76k XIAOMI Phone killed all Samsung devices..

But the phone being shipped ruled me out..so I stayed observing waiting for TECNO L9 home based phone,i kuku no expect any Carl care assitance.. because them rude gan..Dem no dey reply and dey don't even help at all....
.
And then they released the phone I've been expecting for months... FUCKING 69KKKKKKKKKKKKK something that shouldn't cost 20k compared to XIAOMI phones....
.
Then...I turned fully into XIAOMI Phones...then it was already @400+ pages.....
.

More loading... Currently using the least XIAOMI Phone..4a..and the experience is heavenly..I do Feel like crying sometimes

xiaomi camera quality is second to none.

Good product, better and more expensive than the MTK devices we have in the Nigerian markets.

Seconded. This is a movement.

You just want spoil market for tecno

Hmm!...xiaomi keeps tempting me everyday but the coma is the pre-order process.
The mi max seems my favourite!

Where did u buy your Xaiomi phone? And do they have service centres in Nigeria?

Good value for money, can't beat the quality..well said

go and tell them this story in your village not here on NL

Obviously this is tripping me. I'd be tempted to just dive in and buy for MYSELF, but PERSONALLY, I hardly take such risk. I'll rather buy this my tecno Camon Cx for double the price and be relaxed than buying it for half the price from God knows where and be worried about when it will land and if it decides to spoil who to meet to repair it.
I will take Xiaomi serious if it establishes in Nigeria.

Okay..let me continue...
.
I really wanna go for the Note4x going for 149$ but because of the 100% limit I opted for for 4a because of the 100$ monthly -Gtb- limit...
.
Sir.. funding the acct was a sort of issue..the payment policy on aliexpress is Strict to prevent fraudulent activities...
.
But I later Was able to fund acct andorder for the phone...
.
Seriously...ALIEXPRESS CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!..the way their customer care was replying me was damn to sweet and fast!!! Within 1sec..and to the seller..mhen..Na 1 to 1 chat
.
And within 3weeks...my package was delivered to me..and not until I confirmed the order I received was in good condition before Aliexpress released money to the seller

I am using a 89$ phone but If TECNO was to sell this phone..it might go for 50k +
.
.
I now hardly use my l8+ and more now more of Xiaomi..the phone does virtually everything
.
The camera has AGE AND GENDER DETECTOR

I would have upload some pictures..but Nay
.
I have 2 orders.a case and an earpiece..the case is already at the post office ...
.

I...finally turned fully into Aliexpressite
.
I bough this phone for 26k on Xiaomi...Jumia sold it 58k
Earpiece for 600..Jumia sold it for 5k+
.
And to all TECNO marketers on this NL....you're the reason why Nigeria won't progress!!! You're happy marketing something you yourself know doesn't worth the price!!!
.
What happened to the days good TECNOs were sold below 20k and their parts available everywhere..but now.. Expensive phones without parts
.
I'm a Funaabite..and I've started Xiaomi and Aliexpress campaign on campus..and my friends couldn't believe their eyes when they saw how cheap stuffs are on ALIEXPRESS

You don't know this.
You make it sound like Xiaomi never has issues.
They do too. Even on your thread, I see some of you with complaints.

A quick Google Search will reveal that too.

Tecno phones seem expensive for two reasons.
1. Increase in cost of doing biz
2. Local and international advertising.

People get solutions from carlcare, especially if you show evidence of a warrantied device.

Even if you contact the seller, what can he do?
Send spare parts?
So you have to wait again for weeks.
What if the parts he sends is defective? You wait again.
Not cool.

Samsung is in Nigeria and their phones are even more expensive. Why isn't anyone saying anything?

In this same Nigeria, someone buys coke for 500.
You and I buy it for 100. The difference is value added bro.

I will take Xiaomi serious when I see them operating full fledgedly in Nigeria.

It's my choice bro.
I hope y'all can respect that.

Carlcaresophia, your brand is under criticism for bad performance.


Can you share success stories with us.

Not all of us are mad about specs.
Like I said, it's a matter of choice.
Performance wise, since I became a fangirl, I have no complaint.
Save for camon c7 that lagged. Even xiaomi lags too.

I repeat, it is your choice to wait for a cheaper phone.
For now, I can't. Time is money. It's that simple bro.

69k is damn expensive, but it's that way for every other product and commodity in the Nigerian market.

Redmi 4a sells above 33k in Xiaomi store. Not 26k and it's a 2GB RAM.

A higher processor count and speed is better than all the RAMs put together.

where have u seen xiaomi lag b4? Which phone re u using again

2. Local and international advertising.

Are you then saying that we should understand them and bear with them, and continue to patronize them when there are numerous better alternatives?

Is that not brainwashing?

MizMyColi:

People get solutions from carlcare, especially if you show evidence of a warrantied device.

I took my infinix to carlcare to change the earpiece and they told me to bring 20k+ because the panel is faulty.

I returned with the phone and replaced the earpiece with the one I removed from Galaxy Note and it worked perfectly.

Most people there are clueless.

Assuming I was a novice, I would have spent 20k for something that I could change with 1.5k.

And yes, the reason I even considered them was because it was still under warranty and I didn't want to be the first to unscrew it because it will void the warranty.

MizMyColi:

Even if you contact the seller, what can he do?
Send spare parts?
So you have to wait again for weeks.

Not cool.

Sellers don't send spare parts, if the phone is still under warranty then you return it to them and they will fix it and return it back to you.

You pay for shipping.

Many of them are clueless as the guys at carlcare .

MizMyColi:

Samsung is in Nigeria and their phones are even more expensive. Why isn't anyone saying anything?

First, you don't see Samsung create threads upon threads on here to promote their products.

Many people recommend Xiaomi over Samsung, go to reputable blogs and see what they say about the newly released MI 6.

They say it's IPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 combined at the half the price of the two phones and that's true.

MizMyColi:

In this same Nigeria, someone buys coke for 500.
You and I buy it for 100. The difference is value added bro.

Which value exactly does Tecno add? Their OS is just there, their carlcare isn't nothing to write home about.

Which value please?

MizMyColi:

I will take Xiaomi serious when I see them operating full fledgedly in Nigeria.

It's my choice bro.
I hope y'all can respect that.

Nobody is asking you to take xiaomi serious but just admit that they produce better phones than tecno at affordable price.

On your free day, please visit the office of a phone technician to see the number of phones from infinix tecno and Itel on their table even though the brands are operating full fledgely in Nigeria.

Now you are saying something I can relate to.

My LG G3 lags too.
But when it does, I know I am over using it. So I just leave it be.

I wanted swearing but no need.
Maybe bcoz its new, but this cx is not giving me issues. I'm enjoying it. That does not mean I have not noticed some faults. But which smartphone is perfect self?

Enough said!

You made a good choice bro.

Wanted going for gionee M5 mini before but I will go for this xiaomi redmi 4a. Not because of anything but the 13mp camera. Gionee M5 mini is 8mp which cost 47k.

Thanks for this thread bro. Really appreciate.

keep telling ya sef that, tecno are on their own while other OEM are working hard to better their firmwares and hardwares to perfect their devices. Tell me why its should be a norm and standard for tecno phones to be lagging? Without any improvements or whatsoever just the regular scraps they dish out monthly. Even their flagship phantom 6lplus lags unbearably.
