Bluetooth2: Stop calling people poor thinking you have arrived. Dude, even Warren Buffet still lives in a his old house he bought in the 80s. When you look at your life, always remember you are poor in someone's eyes too... so be humble. I dislike people who use the word "poor" to classify others. 29 Likes |

bamasite:No, it's not. I don't think there's something big or highly qualitative in those specifications I mentioned. |

Sapiosexuality: You cannot get a good phone with those specs at that price. The least is a Xiaomi Redmi 4A at 38K http://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4a-8420.php |

ubev01: Many people dont know this. Their low end phones are crap, battery life generally poor, their high end phones are too costly and mostly bad Iphone imitations. I dont know how they jazzed the market to accept them. Apple phones are for people who have money to throw away. The best non-western phone out of China is Xiaomi by a long shot. My next phone is going to be Xiaomi. 7 Likes |

OldBeer:you are wrong, cos Samsung and Apple are truly overpriced. I guess you are amongst the lots that buy things only because of brand name. I am not saying that Samsung and Apple are not brands with good product, but fact is that their phones are overpriced. High price does not always transmits best quality. OnePlus, Meizu, Xiaomi et al are Chinese brands that make devices as equivalent as Samsung and Apple and can give them run for quality and best price. An American recently gave a full review and comparison of his iPhone 6 Plus that he bought for about 200k with the new midrange Nokia 5 that he recently bought for about 60k and he ended up confirming that IPhone was truly overpriced as his new Nokia 5 gave him almost everything he needed that his IPhone 6 Plus gave him. In fact he even mentioned that there are somethings he achieved with his Nokia 5 that he couldn't do with his IPhone. At the end he came to the conclusion that he will be going more for phones that cost less and of quality than IPhone that is pricey with quality. You probably don't know that Samsung and Apple are just enjoying brand leverage, that's why their phones are pricey but people still buy them. Just the way LG home appliances these days are almost costing higher than many other brands. And I don't see LG as the best in home appliances 13 Likes |

martineverest:don't mind those guys bro. They are just time wasters who think they are. "Rich" because they use Samsung or iphone. What is the basis of a phone apart from communication? Other features are just added to remove more money from their pocket. Add to the fact that all those phones are made in China... yes, apple, samsung are made in China. If they were learned, they would be questioning why the difference in quality? 1 Like |

There is a phone that is virtually unknown in Nigeria, the OnePlus. I have been using it since the first version came out in 2014. The current version is called one plus 5, it has mad specs: 8 gigabytes RAM with 128 gigabytes memory & Android Nougat (YES! Samsung S8+ has just 4 gig and 64 gig memory). Check out their phones on oneplus.net or view reviews on YouTube. |

Freiden: Yea but you might be getting it a bit wrong when it comes to battery capacity. Your LG with 2000mAh most probably lasted more than your Tecno with 2400mAh not because your Tecno 2400mAh is not what it is, but because of the processor types. Your LG might be Qualcomm while your tecno is most likely MTK.. These processors also play important roles on your battery duration. You can't compare a Qualcomm chipset that optimises performance thereby leading to low battery usage than an MTK chipset that doesn't do same 3 Likes |

futurism: Perhaps you don't have "dislike" with his choice of word when he called iPhone overrated. He only went for a cheaper phone he could afford which doesnt make a much better phone worthless either. Life is a choice, so stick with what you can afford and stop bad-mouthing what you can't afford. |

At first I was scared. But it's 2 months running now and am enjoying my Ulefone Tiger. I will go for Ulefone, Xiomi, Meizu and One plus. They offer great features at cheaper rates. Just be careful so that u dont crack the touch pad. 2 Likes 1 Share |
