This thread feels so different now, back to status quo I guess.

Thanks to spambot I didn't get to exercise my franchise, surprised the "no ads" crew used federal might topple the votes.

So they want to collect 50k on a 150kish phone.

They are not alright.
By right customs charges should only apply to parcels over the value of $500 but then there's a whole lot of ish that's not rightly done in this country undecided

Guys, what's d implication if custom charge u outrageously and u kuku abandon d phone in d post office.
Will NIPOST return back to d country of region?
Will there be refund?


It's a risk which I once took and it favored me. Custom once charged a 35k custom duty which in my opinion is outrageous. Goods was left with anger with NIPOST. NIPOST had no choice but to ship it back. Opened dispute as the goods was on its way back to China and got refunded. sad

She's Ib based. I'm not certain Huawei get office for there. It'll mean she'd send it to me in Lagos to repair-the kinda job I'm avoiding

Why are you sounding pessimistic man? See wetin tecno don cause. embarassed

Xiaomi phones have great build quality and don't develop faults out of the blue if handled properly and with the right accessories.

I can attest to your commendation of Xiaomi build quality. My 19 months old Redmi note 4 is your witness.
But these things don't work that way with a carefree mother who has three hyper-active baby boys. I knew how her three previous phones journeyed.

Been using it for over 4 months now. Crazy good, sleek, fast with super excellent battery backup. My charger rarely leaves my home now and on some days, I don't bother charging despite being a heavy user.

I have lost count of how many times people walk up to me and ask which phone it is and how to get it.
I must also add that the initial Chinese done Global ROM had connectivity issues but this was later rectified via an update

Redmi 6 pro-- sd625, dedicated sd slot, 4000mah, triple cameras,Make sure you are buying the sealed Chinese version.

Redmi note 6 pro-- sd636, no dedicated sd slot, 4000mah, quad cameras. Global version

Redmi note 6 pro is the better device. What's your budget?

I gotta buy phone for my twin sis but feels the only option available for me right now are these Mediatek craps forming local champion in Nigeria. If I get her Xiaomi, I'd be earning a new job of maintenance- troubleshooting, broken screen repair, answering seemingly inane question. If you know how Tom and Jerry we are as twin, you wouldn't want to kind of job. She's better of with a brand she'd readily get local support/spare parts for without my input.
Spending a dime on another Tecno or Infinix just dey pain me. Choi!
are you sure ya nor talking about my sis coz

Thanks for the info. I am really eying the device. I've used the note 3 before and it lasted me a year plus until it packed up. Lolz...my fault though. Will get this in the coming week. Thanks
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by mistermorex: 9:24pm On Jan 03, 2019
60k but ready to save more if the price is little higher than that about.

So, you advice I go for Redmi note 6 pro-- sd636?

Hello guyz
What do you think about the lenovo k5 pro. It is quite similar to the xiaomi redmi note 5 /pro
i use one presently, the phone is okay, my only problem is that zui is not yet mature as it should be compared to miui. The hardware is lit, but software could be better, i feel like getting rn5 back self most times due to this grin

phone is okay, more value for money, just that zui isn't up to miui in terms of customization and features.

If she wants an Infinix phone that can take a very good beating, Infinix Zero 5 got you. Slam boy certified!

True. But that's where armored cases come into play. I've seen some readily available on Aliexpress
