You nailed it! I want to add this, after doing all this, walk to any phone selling shop to get your device not an umbrella gathering sellers in alaba or ikeja. Same market where that person purchased the cloned Nokia phone, another will come get a device with guarantee

Lol.. You are right.. Lol

. . Lol what about phones with 512mb ram
Those are the worst,nothing works on them.I had a Gionee P2,the worst of phones,you can't browse,make a phone call not to talk of playing games.The problem is that you can't update the phone to the latest version of google operating system,too much lags.

1. make money : make a lot of money, don't mind broke or myopic men telling you tecno j8 can do everything A Samsung s6 can, when you use quality you'll know.

2. sell your current device : don't be wasteful, convert every item into an asset. Try OLX

3. don't be carried away by battery life gionee m5 is good but it's heavier than a laptop, trust me its weight will bust your Pant pocket. Can't say the same about iphones and Samsung devices. So do the needful.

4. design matters: it speaks a lot about you. Infinix devices totally sücks when it comes to design. Your world, your choices tho' look out for premium designs that fits your lifestyle.

5. Data: some people will buy a phone above #50k and still be looking for free browsing tweaks, seriously? Bruh save for data if you must use an android phone.


Ok that's all... cheesy
Dude, I'm sure you've never used browsing tweaks before. The freedom to use as much as you want cannot be bought by money.
You buy 500 gig of data?
That's what I've accumulated from January to date.

my sister was given a new Tecno M5 last year. unknown to the person that bought the phone, the phone is fake. The phone's charger doesn't charge it. it selects charger. my other sister that uses similar phone couldn't configure it to make the apps work and surf the net. she has gotten another phone anyway. I'm thinking of what to do with the phone. is there anything that can be done to the phone to fix it?

Considering the current exchange rate in Nigeria, i am not so sure of your price range as per the specs you stated. However, based on phones i have used so far, the infinix zero 2 does well in regards camera pixels, 2gb ram, sold for an amount that is affordable (as at the last time i checked). The only turn off with the device is the battery.

If you've got a better budget, there are lots of varieties. You could opt in for the well known brands. HTC, Samsung, LG has got devices with 2GB RAM, good camera pixels and good battery. You just have to make a list of phones that fit into your budget first.

Most of all, go on youtube and check out how to identify "clones" of a phone.....I'v handled a samsung s5 clone bought for just 20k...it can do almost everything the original s5 can do. But the sell out was that the resolution is dull, missing features, different layout and other inconspicuous things that are hard to identify with the Untrained eye. Even you OP can fall for a cloned phone. Boiz are getting more dubious by the day, so you too should get smarter!!! Always Google out difference between the original and clone of your desired phone.
Many people own clones but think they are original fones.

A nice and well written write-up.The RAM of a phone matters a lot,never settle for a 1GB of RAM on a phone.

So what about fones like iphone 6 dat has just 1gb ram and its still sells for over a 100k.. And folks are still buying it.

Okay,my bad...i should have been specific,i was referring to an Android phone not a Windows phone or an iPhone,the operating systems are different.A 1gb of RAM can effectively work on an iPhone or a Windows phone,but be rest assured,as you download more apps & games over time you will definitely notice some lags.I for one am currently using a Windows phone with 1gb of RAM and am noticing some lags already.
Re: Here Are 5 Things You Should Do Before Buying Your Next Smartphone by dayojags10(m): 3:27pm On Mar 29, 2016
Buy from authorised/reliable dealer. Have been buying my phones since 2010 from slot outlets and I must say have never for once regret buying phones there.

Pls TechsNG... Wich do u think makes more sense in terms of performance(battery,RAM, multitasking etc) btw Techno Camon C8 and Infinix Note 2(Infinix Big 6)


Thanks!

If you are buying new smartphone check out to buy with a phone that has this specification.
1.A solar self charging phone..due to no stable power supply.2. A phone that can tell you which nearest filling station has fuel with #50 per litre.
3. A phone that tell when your girlfriend is cheating on you.

That's a faulty conclusion bro. A phone with 512mb ram on windows platform rarely lags. The worse that can happen is dat it reboots itself automatically. #TeamWindows

Thanks!

I have used both phones and based on my honest opinion, the Infinix Note 2 is better. The only issue i have with the device is the size (6.0inch). The Camon C8 has a better design as well but in terms of performance, the note 2 rocks better.
