Androidking:What are you even saying? Sometimes you get confused by what you are saying yourself.. Do you understand what is meant by "value for money?" Why do you think phantom 9 (which is a bigger upgrade to phantom 8 ) is cheaper than usual? Why are you so specific about xiaomi users? I understand that they attack too quick but the truth is that they had experience Transsion still. And Transsion is more reason why the iPhone users I know says this quote.. 'Android na dirty' Note that Samsung Touchwiz also gave android a very bad reputation at the beginning before they switched to One UI (Check Wiki) But why are you ranting at all thread? What are you trying to force people into? As in, someone has 67k and you want him or her to buy Tecno because xiaomi users are annoying? Tecno/infinix's problem is not even the device itself. IT IS THEIR STUPID UNSTABLE SKINNED OS THAT CAUSE DATA LOSS. Any little thing, it will stuck on logo.. The day I ran MIUI on infinix Smart 2, that was when I realised it isn't about Qualcomm or Mediatek. It is about OS optimisation. So because I switched from PocoPhone to Redmi K20 Pro then to Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition now means PocoPhone is not keeping up to expectations? (According to your response to someone selling Redmi 8 ) Do you really think Transsion is still cheaper than Mi? What do you understand by the word "Value for money?" I repeat! Aren't you considering materials and sensors used to make a device? I am a bit confused where all these furious anger came from.. If I were you, I will just stop ranting on all threads showing up angered comments to earn credibility to your posts at least. Did you ever came across a News headline where xiaomi was rated the highest device with low crash rate in Indian? IRemember: Xiaomi in India is like Transsion in Nigeria when it comes to number of users.. If you don't know. Let me tell you something secret (I pray this doesn't harm me). Let me not say cos it is a top secret about what Transsion is doing.. But the truth is that, it is very hard to see someone use xiaomi and leave the brand for other android device.. Where I blame Transsion devices is their Skinned OS.. It has a very high crash rate. Devices made after Buhari became president are subjected to poor quality. Unlike Apple, Transsion doesn't go for component that had least failed operation. They take all (both most failed and least failed).. Tecno had the market because they were the first to give Nigerians market Android! They were the first to sell low end android okay? "Xiaomi should Up their marketing department" you said.... Don't you think Xiaomi is already stepped up? Tambo, Hauwei, Lenovo, Fero and Pano all came before Xiaomi even with price cheaper than Tecno but they failed. Xiaomi is not up to 7 months in Nigeria. Aren't you seeing their progress? @AndriodKing, please take it easy. There are a lot of concept you are misunderstanding out of the anger you had.. Kpele 6 Likes |

Chuksteric: I am.not the angry one xiaomi users are, All my defence started from xiaomi users attacking Transition company in the first place. Tecno didn't over the market by building quality, dey were inferior devices as of 4 years ago, still they later dominate, remember not because of high quality but good marketing strategy. Nairaland Xiaomi users should stop attacking people on Nairaland for buying Tecno and Infinix that's all, let Xiaomi do der own marketing themeselves . den we all live in peace. 1 Like |

Androidking: I ordered the redmi 5 plus about 2 or 3 years ago for a friend through noobody here on nairaland. His previous device before that was cubot x6. After using the cubot for over a year, he sold it. I personally warned him against getting tecno or infinix device, but he wanted a device urgently so he said. I followed him to a plaza where he got the infinix note 4 pro for around 68k or there about. Guess what... he sold it after two weeks of use. Before asking my opinion on the xiaomi redmi 5 plus, which I ordered for him through noobody. And from that time till date. He is still using the redmi 5 plus. That is the only instance that can be verified and proven true here on nairaland, so I will leave at that. Anyone who steps out of transision's net, is never going back. You can check nairaland for different thread and narratives for confirmation. Meanwhile, I bought the second redmi 8 today as planned. 4/64, that is two redmi device in less than a week. No be money too dey, na say whoever I give am to no go come with shocking complaints. It's only on a transision device you will be seeing all types of system failure including contact not responding, Facebook has stopped, camera not found, Instagram force closing. Silly stuffs like that. 7 Likes

ZesusHVWritter: For ur last statement only people with 1 or 2gig ram experience such and same thing happens in any phone including Samsung. What I want to point out actually is d processor speed in the pix u posted, its says 2.0ghz (Max) I saw a post when some one was praising xiaomi saying the produce 2.2ghz minimum in all der phones. As in xiaomi users have to lie now to boost der ego. That being said we never said xiaomi is bad, we said u people should leave Infinix and Tecno users alone |

ZesusHVWritter: I.want u to read this conversation between me and a friend I recommended the same Infinix note 4 to her.. .its more than a year. Now going to two years.. I want u to know that people like her are much much much much more bigger than people using xiaomi, in Nigeria, so if u ask this Lady, is Infinix a good product she will say yes, so I wonder why u people won't understand that. And if u mentioned xiaomi to her she will laugh u and say abegi let buy d ones I know, and that is where xiaomi needs to come in to create awareness. So stop saying Infinix and Tecno are not durable most of der phones are... OK.. If not the old processor what else do u need from Tecno?? Der product is cheap too.. So what else do u want?

Androidking:She is only saying yes, because she is surrounded by persons like you who would rather watch her languish in agony than put her before yourself. Let me give it to you blunt and simple, if after using a xiaomi, lenovo, Samsung, Huawei or realme device you still suggest a transision device to someone in need of a phone on the arrogant basis of cheap .... you are wicked. how much did your friend get the infinix note 4 then? It's not okay that most transision device are okay, for zesus sake, things are hard people spend money to buy these inferior and outrageously priced piece of deceit called transision. Why spend your hard earned money on a device that has a probability of being okay, when you can buy a device that is assuredly great.? Okay is even bad as it is, yet not all are okay? and you will still suggest a device knowing fully well that the person buying it might buy a faulty device like we continually witness daily on nairaland? Let me be open with you. Till today I still test phones on phone shops after purchase, do you know why? Because then, after you buy a transision device. If you fail to test it all round. It is either you get home and the earpiece isn't working, sim card isn't getting network, top of the screen isn't working or the charging port of a new phone is not responsive. Tell me I am lying and I will open an account here on nairaland for a friend who bought an infinix smart 3, two days later when you swipe the phone it unlock even with fingerprint enabled and password enabled, and sometimes the phone will lock and refuse to open even with the correct finger print or password typed. Let's not even go into the hanging nature of the device. These went on for days until he decided to remove the password lock completely. I suggested the Samsung A2 core to him, and did give him a sample to play with. He couldn't believe till date that the A2 core is 1gig ram. When he tried returning the infinix s3 he bought back to the seller due to all the problems he was experiencing, she blamed the 1gig ram for the error. Yet the Samsung A2 core is 1gig ram, not even for once when it was with me did it hang or fronze during daily use. The day he decides to liberate himself from the captivity of transision, let him start with a Samsung of 25k if he will not curse transision to their face. 4 Likes |

Androidking: Kindly die this ignorant claims. How can you say apps failing is due to low ram? Then even go further to say it happens on all phones... Wait.. These information you are spurring here, do you even bother to do a research first before going ahead with your insinuations or you just type as it deems fit to you without respect for others knowledge and exposure? I want to believe what you are saying but I can't seem to find any reasonable logic to ascertain any form of authenticity in this claim of yours. Get my points. Someone praised xiaomi but not xiaomi but the chipset speed not the chipset branding but the general idea that xiaomi only uses a chipset of 2.2ghz? There are less than a handful of chipset with such speed and xiaomi has used over hundreds of chipsets on their devices. So for someone to specifically praise xiaomi for chipset speed is preposterous and overreaching. Does the speed of a chipset guarantee that a device is good? Now, if the person who you claimed may have said this is real. Does he even have the basic idea of how a mobile device works? Even xiaomi devices that uses mtk chipset have proven that, a chipset is half the job when making a device. The application of the chipset is what makes the overall experience of a mobile device. I would love have a link or screenshot to that claim... I will also do a general search here on nairaland just to see who said it. 1 Like |

What I expect all of u to say is encourage xiaomi to upgrade der marketing and encourage transition company to upgrade der processor but as for Nigeria market they have dominant, if u don't like it hit nearest transformer beside u all, ...

ZesusHVWritter: How d hell and how many times will I tell u people that 80% of the world don't care about chipset ooooo. Have u being in Onitsha main market, Have u being in Alaba international market. Even ariaria international market. Most people selling the those phones self don't know about this chipest u are talking of.... So no matter how u guys preach it , it won't make any impact to average Nigerian traders... Hawkers or masons... All these chipest up chioest down on Nairaland is never never never a marketing strategy... Tufia... I keep telling u guys everyday, Tecno are not dominating because of good quality. And its left for xiaomi to do the need full and upgrade the marketing department why is that no one is talking about that.. Non of u ever talk of xiaomi poor marketing and awareness in Nigeria, who told u that in Nigeria if u want to sell u use chipest as a marketing power. Who told u guys that, that is the Job of Technicians not the job of the marketing department.... I am going to say it for the last time if xiaomi wants people to know about xiaomi...its der job to do d needful.. If they won't leave Tecno and Infinix alone. If u hate dem, u can swallow ur phone... Just d company alone especially on Nairaland.... |
Re: I Regret Spending 40k On This Phone by Androidking: 10:31am On Nov 30, 2019 |
I understand the frustration seeing Transmition market money, more than people doing actual quality, Its just like using Mason to build a house instead of Engr. Most a times d masons Bleep up, because they collect the work with cheap price. And I will always tell client to use professionals. And forget the cheap masons... But that mean that we don't have good experience masons that can deliver small jobs. When it comes to big or bigger Job den u go for Engrs. That's is similar thing we experience here, in as much Tecno is not as good as Xiaomi some of their products satisfy users.. So chipset or not durability or not value for money or not, If xiaomi won't create Awareness leave Tecno Alone. If u want attack Tecno go their website or Facebook page that's all. |

Androidking:If I am frustrated, if there is any frustration at all. It not because transission is making money off the innocence of majority of Nigerians like you clearly stated but because people like you who are supposed to know the truth and speak for truth are sentimentally oriented enough to not care about the difficulties of others. Anyway, the guy using the infinix smart 3 with all types of hanging and unstable lock systems. Said he is not interested in joining nairaland, but he did allow me snap his device. Which I attached to this post. But I guess its not transission's fault that some of their product are okay and others are just plain bad, it's the fault of the innocent barrow pusher, masons and other struggling Nigerians for not knowing better, right? Just like this my friend who ignorantly bought this transission device that is more or less a toy or just a low level java device with unnecessary glorification by deceitful marketers like you androidking 2 Likes

Androidking:It was you that said a xiaomi marketer was praising the chipset prowess and choice of xiaomi company when you are supposedly among the 80% of smartphone users who doesn't care about chipset but cared enough to notice that the chipset of the redmi 8 is 2.0ghz and a xiaomi marketer praised xiaomi for only using 2.2ghz chipset specifically.

Androidking:Do you do statistic at all? Why do you use the term "All xiaomi users?" This is why I have to response to your blind claims. And why are you changing topic to "Xiaomi should up their market department.. Of course yes! You think they are seated somewhere drinking ice-cream or playing video games? Come on brah!! Xiaomi is not up to 6 months in Nigeria. TAKE THAT FACT!!! And do you think everybody (Just like you generalised your accusations towards ALL xiaomi users) who uses xiaomi will remain loyal to them? Of course not... Some will despise the OEM too.. And this is life! So what are you fighting about? The fact remains that Transsion is not as durable as Xiaomi or others. Tecno provide no software support. Redmi Note 4 users now receiving MIUI 11. Isn't that something encouraging? No device last forever okay? So you saying that these users are programmed to believe that xiaomi last forever is another False Accusation. Did you even read figures of speech? Do you mistake some mare figures of speech made by some users? Imagine Tecno W3 implicating my colleague just for connecting phone to PC. He copied WhatsApp to it. Unplug it, during WhatsApp installation, phone dimmed and died forever. A phone brought out from carton.. Same Tecno W3 implicating me just for doing hard reset and till date. Dead to the fullest. Go to carlcare and see heeps of Tecno W3 there beyond fix. Please stop making claims.. Anyway, you remind me of my Ex- 6 Likes |

I am sure the purpose of this thread has been meant. Anyone who visits nairaland will never touch transission.
