I just watched Zach (JerryRigEverything) tear down both variants (Snapdragon and Exynos) of the S20 Ultra and he called out Samsung for trying to deceive customers as well as charging the same amounts for both phones.

In terms of performance, the Exynos version was closer to last year's S10 sef.

If it is Nigeria, trust Nigerians, they'll say you're spoiling their hustle.

That's is how phone review is suppose to be, even if the company supply you with the unit, call a spade a spade.To say the truth I don't watch Nigeria tech reviewer's

Neither do I.

One of the reasons why this country will never move forward even if we split it into individual households is hypocrisy (and self-interest). Selfish interests which comes at the detriment of the general good.

No matter how bad a situation is, you will find people who benefit from it and would frustrate whatever efforts are made to remedy the situation. Going as far back as slavery, people gained from it and tried to prevent the abolishing of slave trade, during the civil war, people inside the war torn zone profiteered from it and in our present day Nigeria, no matter how bad things have come to be, people are still profiteering from it and would not have it any other way.

A few months ago, with the release of the Camon 15 Premier and the unveiling of a 64MP camera on top of a Helio P35, people who understood Smartphone SoC tech were baffled and tried to point out this anomaly. The backlash was furious as a lot of persons who had personal interests in the brand and device took it very very personal and lots of threads were opened and insults were flung like bullets across world war 2 trenches.

One matter still remains unexplained to this day, how does 64mp work on Helio P35?

There is a sort of hypocrisy that stinks to the high heavens from Transsion supporters and marketers which makes me nauseous and I'll go further to list them below. It's 5am and I have ample time.

1. SoC (System on a Chip)
I remember receiving bitter insults in 2019 from Transsion supporters, especially those from Infinix who claimed vehemently that there were more important things in a phone than the SoC and that it doesn't matter. This was after it was pointed out that Transsion hides bad specs by pasting Quad core on the cover. I still have my Pouvoir 2 carton with me as evidence.

The responses ranged from "we don't buy phones to play games", "SoC is not important" to personal insults then all of a sudden, the Infinix Note 7 was released with the Helio G70 and in the blink of an eye, SoC had suddenly become important! Infinix that posts QUAD CORE on device packaging was painting everywhere red with G70. So with the release of the G90T on the Infinix Zero 8, I would like to ask if we were right all along and that SoCs truly are important?

2. Camera sensors

I remember Zesushvwritter who dragged Transsion on Twitter so badly that Tecno to be precise had to edit their website when he brought the roof down on them. The question was simple, "what sensors did the Tecno Camon 15 Premier use?"

I remember all sorts of excuses were brought up. The most shocking was that "companies don't advertise the type of camera sensors they use". WTF?! How did I manage to share the same country with some people?! Our usual excuse bringer said "they neglected to add it because it is not necessary". How can you use a Sony sensor and forget to add it?!

Well on every Zero 8 advert, I see the Sony IMX sensor emblazoned with the G90T boldly. Do Camera sensors matter now?

In conclusion, we have to be better and we have to be more educated and selfless. It is hypocrisy of the highest order to use a Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung or iPhone to log onto Nairaland and advise someone else to get a Transsion phone. It is not just wrong, it is evil!

I will give credit where it is due, the G70 on the IN7 was a step in the right direction and the G90T on the Zero 8 is massive. I am impressed. I don't know how effective Nairaland is but if the reports I got are true coupled with the bashing on FB, Infinix are ready to improve but they would not have done so if they were not pushed.

Now Transsion users can hold their head up high and be proud of two good devices. The Zero 8 is worth the price. This is what we want to see. I can recommend that phone for anyone because the chipset and camera are top notch, the OS may need work but software can be changed and updated.

Let's stop this hypocrisy and call a spade a spade.

Una good morning.

I dont think its worth the price, cause I can get a redmi note 8 pro with same chipset and better software at 90k,were as the zero 8 is sold for 117k

I had rather go get a snapdragon 845 device with the price tag of this phone

The 90Hz refresh rate

The 48mp selfie

Both which the Note 8 and Note 9 Pro do not have. They don't come cheap.

On the flip side tho, the 90Hz refresh was buggy and laggy. In some cases, it was ghosting. 90Hz and XoS don't work well together.

That's also an option too

You have a point. Not denying that. I read that Infinix has acquired Sagem, both company and staff to help them make better phones. Let's see what they do next.

Nope.

Sagem Phone division was acquired by Chinese investors and rebranded as Infinix.

Nope.

Sagem Phone division was acquired by Chinese investors and rebranded as Infinix.

By Transsion abi

Yes. Hong Kong based investors bought the cellphone division of the company and rebranded it as Infinix Mobility.

So what if it has been Infinix that has been working all this while and Tecno are just waiting to copy expo?

LMAO

I complained about their camera software and they almost took my head off.

Took with the Nokia 6.1 plus ... Transion phones lack lack Longevity!!! I got this phone when they released the camon 11 ... So many generations of the camon have gone and this still beats the camera of their latest flagship... If we talk they'll say we're haters

Lovely, even despite Nairaland compression sef.

Transission told me they will do better, and I can hold them accountable on that if they don't.

The infinix zero 8 is a testament to the collective efforts of everyone here on nairaland, twitter and every other social media.

I still critise Transission pricing and poor hardware management, but its safe to say with a lot of Nigerians becoming more aware of their offerings and options tech-wise, the Transission business model is taking a huge turn around for the better.


If you are my friend, lover, enemy or neighbour. Don't buy the zero 8.
