timilehing: What is the power of a smartphone?? What exactly can Samsung Galaxy S4 can do that Infinix zero can't do??

What is infinix zero?

I went to gsmarena as well as phonearena to compare them but no product like infinix zero. Bro try to slot in a 64G memory card into that phone and see if it won't crash lol.

If someone wants to buy you a phone and ask you to choose either of them which will you go for?

y'all should understand we are not saying you shud not buy what u crave for, all we are saying is u should be prudent in spending, u can't be living a champagne life on an alomo budget.. do whatever makes u happy,as y'all said,life is too short,but always remember there are consequences

parrotibaba: its simple... what d op is trying to say is "cut your coat according to ur size" ...u can buy as many as u like but mk sure dat u can still sustain yourself whilst doing so...not when u r struggling for T. fare,handouts/textbooks cash n food,u will go n buy d new iPhone 6 just cos ur O.B.O of a friend bought it...


that was before, now "it is cut your cloth according to the quantity of MATERIAL you have"

Not size, that's why they are buying large phones(they are considering their SIZE) & not considering their MATERIAL(their finances)

Sweetest comment I ever read today

These disgruntled peasants ranting about others people life as if theirs is better.

The 100k I use in buying an s5 is someone's money for booze in a club.
The 15k the OP uses in buying a techno phone is sometimes house rent for 5 months.
My entire life savings is someone's tip in church.
Go for what makes you happy cause life too short to be bitching and complaining of other people's ways.

P. S this dude ranting about the ills of a 50k phone, if I give you 50k, it's not like you can build an empire with it.
Bunch of ballerinas undecided
1000 likes...... u know the problem with most of the peeps who commented above me is poverty....

I for instance got a blackberry q10 as a birthday gift from my bro.... I also got an iPhone 6 as a gift from my fiancée... although he's not here in Nigeria yet....


my point is most of this gadjets is not a huge deal here in the north.... u see a lot of teenage guys driving exotic cars while using a very small Nokia..... ..

Sorry Bro I'm never a fan of iPhone, I use galaxy s5 and I believe you know what that means.

FYI that dude wanted to know what an S4 can do that Infinix zero can't and I mentioned just one by telling him to slot in a 64G memory card.
Re: Naija Smartphonomics: The Economics Of Buying A Smart Phone In Nigeria by timilehing(m): 9:09am On Sep 29, 2014
Impulse80: what's the difference between a lecturer and a student? Abi if you see s4 and infinix zero both at the same price which would you chose? Bottom line is if you can afford it buy it. Quality before quantity
Ogbeni, just tell me what that s4 can do that infinix zero can't!!
Your comparison of lecturer and student shows you're just a kid trying to express an illustration with limited experience. I wonder what iPhone will be then, undecided

Danhumprey: It's just sickening the way people scramble for expensive smartphones. I mean,what do you make of someone who can barely eat two-square meals,not to talk three-square meals each day,flaunting an expensive phone? Seriously,of who benefit will that be to him? Will the prestige he get from owning that phone,clear his hunger? I don't gerrit!

Asking the essence of 64gb memory goes back to what I said earlier that you don't know the power of a smartphone.

Bro when you see what you like but can't afford just admire it and it will come your way one day but if you become jealous and tongue lash it then it will never come your way.

The op thinks he is an economist by cutting his expenses on phone lol have you cut your expenses on women?

Bottom line is spend on what makes you happy. It's your life and your money. If you don't teach me how to make money don't teach me how to spend it.

People with fake lives abound everywhere. If you carry a N50k phone and you are still jumping buses and keke napep. Which one will you use when you start driving an airconditioned Toyota sienna and you own a house ?

Total misplaced priorities. People are so reckless with finances that's why I have stopped pitying some stu.pid people when they complain about money..

The highest phone I bought for a lady is Nokia torch. Hope I am not among ?

But any lady who gets a N30k phone from me must be Mrs. 100cents..

Everyone to his own..

If you think a smartphone can't fetch you good money please think again.

Kindly lecture us on the good money your costly phone has earned you and how, and you still dey board public transport..

You know that its so easy to justify every deed once we believe in it. Even devil can justify himself..

It is not anybody's business but when the owner of that phone starts begging for transport money or begging to buy bread, it becomes a collosal disgrace to his family and generation..
