darkhorizon:I have no idea but 4a is a midrange |

Breezzy: Well, I don't consider 3400mah a beast. Maybe OS optimization might help, but the battery capability is still small. And I'm sure you didn't get it new. |

I can relate, I bought Nokia 7.1 (2018) instead of the newest Tecno of the same price range. I'm not regretting. Good camera Strong and luxurious body Snapdragon 4/64 with very good multitasking capabilities (no reloading every time you want to do another thing) And I have already upgraded to Android 10 1 Like |

I personally opt to stay clear of these 2nd hand phones. Unless I'm buying it directly from the person who has been using it and I know him and trust him. Otherwise most of these refurbished phones come with issues like unofficial software, poor battery, replaced screens that aren't as durable as the original... Etc. I'd advise anyone to just buy the latest midrange phone. After all the performance is usually just about the same. The main advantage of the old flagships is that they usually have very good camera and their screens are high quality display like Oled, Amoled...with features like high refresh rate, 2K resolution. |

really wish to change my infinix hot 8 to something better for 50k |
Re: Older Flagships Or New Budget Phones? by KGBEAST(m): 6:17pm On Oct 25, 2020 |
Lovepeacetrust:Exactly, I am currently using an LG G7+ thinQ, I bought from Aliexpress for #97000 including delivery, it's better than all those yeye techno phones and the likes, it uses Gorilla glass 5 front and back, IP68 water resistant ratings, Snapdragon 845 SOC, I am wondering why many Nigerians don't go for it and other Older flagship phones, but it occurred to me that most Nigerians aren't tech informed and it's sad 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Older Flagships Or New Budget Phones? by Lovepeacetrust: 6:29pm On Oct 25, 2020 |
KGBEAST: Honestly the misinformation about tech is sad, but if they're happy with their device it's good enough for them... Extremely great choice with the Lg G7, that phone is marvellous! Bro did you get the G7 new or refurbished cuz the refurbished on AliExpress sells for around 55k excluding shipping. |
Re: Older Flagships Or New Budget Phones? by Lovepeacetrust: 6:36pm On Oct 25, 2020 |
Norman4real: Yeah bro I get your point, but if you know where to look you can get really good refurbished phones even new ones on AliExpress, and the refurbished ones looks new and are functional.. For instance my older cousin came to me about last year and said she wanted to change her phone from the iPhone 6 to 7 simply because her friends were intimidating her with their iPhone 7, I had to convince her to buy the refurbished Lg G7 on AliExpress which was way cheaper and trust me I had to do a lot of convincing, she got the phone, I installed gcam for her and she's been thanking me ever since ![]() |

Re: Older Flagships Or New Budget Phones? by KGBEAST(m): 9:28am On Oct 27, 2020 |
danielck22:I ordered it on the 31st of July, before the government put a monthly limit on online purchases/spending inn foreign currency on Naira account to $100 per month, now it might be a bit hard as now you can't spend more than $100 per month on a MasterCard Naira account, except you open a Domiciliary account |

Adam00:Awesome is understatement, It actually crushed my previous redmi note4x. Probably the best I have ever seen. And I heard pixel 3 camera even destroy pixel 2? I'm wondering if there is any smartphone camera that can be better than this? I don't know yet until I upgrade again |
