Mohbola: Abiodunspectre:Be deceiving yourselves andelawhite:learn to make research before speaking. Apart from Samsung and iPhones which ironically have service centres in Lagos, which phone have screens that cost as much as the phone itself. Am waiting |

If Samsung and Iphone are the only two phones that belong to that category, what wrong have I said? Isn't it a fact that their screens are expensive?what research should I make? You should be able to read comments to understand and not to pick fights. theoneJabulani: |

andelawhite:iPhone and Samsung have service centres in Nigeria and their screen are expensive, whoever is going to shell out the amount of money those phones cost is well aware of the risk involved, you are not the one that will decide if its worth of purchase for them. You can only decide for yourself. andelawhite:do you know how much carlcare charge for screen replacement? And do you know that the screen that will be used is not as strong as the original? I bought Itel A32f for my brother in 2018 for ₦19,000. 2 weeks later it got smashed when he tripped and fell. Carlcare collect ₦8k, and asked me to come after a week. After it was repaired, on my way home, somehow the phone must have hit my house keys and it got cracked. I just went to ikotun market, and an engineer there replaced it for 4.5k. The fact is every device has replacement parts if you know where to look. On AliExpress, you will get anything you want, charging ports, camera modules, speakers, mouthpiece, antenna recaivers, anything. Don't let the fear of parts let you continue using mediocre devices. 2 Likes |

Ofcos I decided for myself based on my experience and decided to lend an advice to those who may need it. I didn't force anyone to take it, I didnnt instruct anyone to take. You need to be more careful with gadgets and devices, you can be smashing screen everytime(this is also an advice, not an instruction. Take it if you want or continue smashing phone screens.) theoneJabulani: |

andelawhite:The first rule of purchasing electronics is don't buy a device you can't mantain, don't buy a device just to feel among, it will end badly. Mr man, didn't you see the part where I said my brother tripped and fell? And the screen obviously got cracked a second time because it was an inferior product. 1 Like |

Your brother tripped an fell, is an accident and can happen to anyone. If he had been more careful, he could have avoided it. The screen of the phone didn't crack because it wa inferior, it carcked because it met with greater force. Advicing someone to be careful is not a bad thing, but you can take the advie or leave it and continue tripping an smashing screens. theoneJabulani: |

andelawhite:Stop being a smartass. Are you telling me jingling of keys can produce enough force to crack (not even scratch) a smartphone screen? Ifou watch screen tests on YouTube, you will realise that it's not possible. So it's either you are trolling or your are just completely (how do I say this in the least insulting way) unwise. I sincerely hope it's the former |
Re: Phones To Avoid If You Live In Nigeria by andelawhite: 4:30pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
You said you brother tripped and fell, the phone also fell to the ground, not on top of a mattress. Depending on how the phone fell, it could have landed badly that it affected the screen. These phones have got a surface area of about 90%, meaning that when it falls on a hard surface, there is a great chance for the screen to crack. If you think i am merely troll, well sorry for you when your phone falls again and cracks. Maybe by then youll learn to be more carreful. I have used my phone for over 2 years now and it hasnt fallen for one day because I understand how fragile the screen is. If you think I am unwise, I have never spoken to an unwise person like you, who would reject an advice to be careful. theoneJabulani: |
Re: Phones To Avoid If You Live In Nigeria by theoneJabulani(m): 4:50pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
andelawhite:you see why I said you might be trolling? Am not complaining about the screen shattering the first time, am complaining about the replacement done by carlcare that got cracked by jingling of keys in my pocket. Your phone not falling in two years is not all about you being careful, it's also about luck. Accidents can happen at anytime to anyone irrespective of how much you pay attention to detail, you can never predict what will happen next. So your advice is irrelevant and completely unnecessary, especially given the fact that I use Umidigi A3PRO and Umidigi Power, so I know replacing it's broken screen will deprive me of my device for at least two weeks. So please take your advice and shove it down your pants. Please stay off my mentions 1 Like |

Phones to avoid are Samsung S and Note series although am a user of note 10, but if the screen mistakenly spoil, to change am is equal to a new phone, another na iPhones and Sony, very expensive to change, all other phones aren't avoidable, if u no see spare parts in Nigeria, go to AliExpress, we are in the jet age |
