I was thinking of getting a new phone, because the one i have now has given me high blood pressure (Huawei Ascend y320)maybe it's the RAM(Random access memory ) because I'm a heavy user and the battery life is appalling 1500mAh

So I decided to check the phone section somedays ago, lo and behold i saw great phones with amazing specs at relatively affordable rates.

I got really confused as to which one was suitable, because all were amazing (due to competition between the manufacturers )

I thought of/took into consideration the following major things(specs) i really needed in a phone

Price

RAM

Battery

Screen

Durability and other stuffs like that

I ended up with two phones (not because it was easy for me to choose but, )because they are well-known brands



Tecno f6

NB: I heard that the Tecno f6 is gonna be about N28, 000 when it gets to Nigeria
While the Upgraded version of Infinix zero (X506) is about N23k


So I decided to wait for a better one because I'm not satisfied with the battery and some other stuffs of the two @ the price for each one of them

So I'm waiting for a much better phone with at least the following major specs


Network : 3G/2G

Operating system : Android 4.4.2 kitkat

Screen : IPS HD Capacitive touchscreen

Processor : Octa Core 1.4GHz

Battery : 2500mAH

Camera : 8mp, 5mp front facing camera

ROM : 16GB with sd card slot that supports up to 32GB memory card

Bluetooth : yes
WiFi : yes
OTA updates : yes
Flashlight : yes

And most importantly

RAM (Random access memory ) : 2GB

Then any other useful stuffs can follow

The price must not be over 22k

I know it'll come soon, i mean very soon (looking at the rate at which phone manufacturers are competing for the first place )

But For now I'll manage my fvcking phone

NB: I ain't talking about Samsung, HTC, Sony and their likes that drain the pocket for something you can get at a much more affordable rate without any major differences compared to the money gap

Ok but I don't care nah

op nobody cares....

thrizzle: op nobody cares....

People Cares @ Op i m strongly at ur back i ga Cash but i need a fone with the specs u mention but at an afordable price so as to have lil change... Keep us posted..!!!

Op you better stick to that tecno f6 if you decide to be waiting for new ones, ram, processor, camera even price may not be favorable to you again. Because a person who is monitoring when the crab will sleep will be long at the river bank

I cares too, Op you are welcome, anytime any of this beast step Into naija abeg halla me sharp-sharp.

Hmmm. I was also thinking about getting a gionee, but i've decided to wait and continue using my c1(nokia). Let the wait begin

i agree with op

What's d essence of buying d phones when u don't have a job??

Eni to ban wo iseju akan a pe leti omi ...Nice one bro

oyewolestephen: Op you better stick to that tecno f6 if you decide to be waiting for new ones, ram, processor, camera even price may not be substantial to you again. Because a person who is monitoring when the crab will sleep will be long at the river bank

Meanwhile, there is Affordable MTN data on offer.....https://www.nairaland.com/1856717/affordable-mtn-data-offer-300


Hop in to find out

Op Gionee M2 comes closest to what you need and at precisely the same price point.

I once planned to change my current opsson d2 and get a new phone but then, I studied the trend in phone releases and discovered that if I had waited for a month before buying my first android (tn3) I would have gotten a phone with better specs @.the same price(tecno p3) I also discovered that if I had waited a bit before getting my current phone (opsson d2) , I would have gotten a better phone (like gionee p3) @ the same price. My decision now is to wait till I can get a phone with 16G ROM, 2G RAM, OVER 10MP CAMERA, OVER 2000MAH BATTERY POWER, GOOD SCREEN SIZE AND RESOLUTION, etc below 25k.

Your wait is almost over. Infinix zero has all these features you want except the battery power. Just wait small and you will get the one that meets your exact needs.

Loooolz
Tz really annoying,
They keep on manufacturing phones and people who once had one keep on throwing theirs away for a new one
i decided to wait for one phone dat wouldn't make me bother much if others are flaunting new devices,
A phone that i'll not need to run around looking for where to charge
A phone that'll be able to take clear images of written stuffs
A phone that doesn't hang or lagg (tz can give you hbp)
A phone with large memory even without sd card

The competition is really getting tense sha
So I'll wait for the best

I hope you won't wait forever because every phone always have their "but", no matter what. Just pray to be able to afford whatever you want at any point in time and be financially buoyant to be able to upgrade to any better version as needs arise.

I'd have chosen infinix zero (X506)
But The battery is a no-no for me and it's like i heard the battery is not removable

But I'm sure a better one that will not have those problems would be out latest December or January

but what is the big deal with non-removable battery tho? Many big brands have succeeded with it. I have been using one since last year, and i know someone who has been using phones with non removable batteries since for ever. No battery issue.
