Genius Android Phone From Glo by luluosas(m): 4:32pm On Apr 01, 2013
Globacom Limited is currently selling one Android phone called Genius in their Gloworld shops across Nigeria.
Although the manufacturers of the phone is unknown, as Glo bluntly turned down my enquiry stating that, it is not for 'public consumption'.
According to Glo, should you buy the phone, you will be entitled to 18k/sec to all network, 2k/sec to one special number, 200MB Internet data every month for 12 months, upon the recharge of N500 done monthly.
The price of the Glo Genius phone is N22,000 available from any Gloworld shops in Nigeria. The phone's specifications according to Glo are:-
- Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread
- 1GHz Processor
- 3.5 HVGA Capacitive Display
- 512MB RAM
- 512MB ROM
- WiFi b/g/n
- WiFi Direct
- 3MP Rear Camera
- 0.3MP Front Camera
- 1400 mAh Battery
- Dual Sim
The phone specifications is not available on their website anyway but, what I posted was a tweet Glo sent me. Check it on a their website here http://www.gloworld.com/genius.asp

Nairalanders, does this Genius phone worth the price that Glo tagged it? Let's hear your views. Thank you.

This phone shouldn't be more than 12k.

Single core
3MP camera
512 rom.....
Probably sim lock.

Intact, no one should buy if you can't use other providers sim card. This nonsense, after all you are paying cash.

Yes, the phone is of low Android OS and the price ought to be lower than as it is advertised by Glo but, I am sure it is not network locked since it is a dual Sim phone.
By the way, who have used this phone before?

Now to this-

if the network selling this phone was

1. MTN. No probs. Extortion is thier hallmark.

2. Airtel. Na to dey look them. After all the network is as worthless as a filty socks, in terms of data and voice.

3. Etisalat. No gbe ge. because l assume they thot we all have Oil Wells like them.

But it wasn't introduced into the market by the above three but a full blooded Nigerian owned network introduced

''A low specd smartphone powered by an ancient version of Google mobile OS''

Glo thought we have forgotten the BB 3gb fiasco. No instead of buying that FOOLISH Android Phone Glo, l will do these-

1. Buy the more advanced Infinix Race Bolt for 25k after adding 3k.

2. Buy 2 Tecno N3. 1 for me and the other my Broda.

OR
If l need a network branded Android smart phone l will go to any of the networks as follows-

1. Buy an Etisalat Gaga phone that has proper community support out there.

2. Walk into an MTN office and get the high specd Infinix Buzz X450 with Android 4.0 for 16k and stil keep 6k for mtn BIS downloads.

3. Sluggishly walk into an Airtel owned shop and get a Tecno N3 for 13k with 9k change in ma pocket. The Tecno has a better support and after sale service here in naija.

To hell with Glo.

No mind them. We are thinking of lowering our expenditure on them and they are thinking of how to make life more expensive for us.
