we have come along way in technology. infact technology wait for no one and is a way of life and the new trend.

technology holds the biggest market share in the world market, and as everyone is trying to catch up with the latest, unfortunate the latest keep moving far ahead. just like the sun or moon the more you are walking toward the direction of sun you find out its moving ahead with you.

but only few people from world population (that's the elite) are ahead of technology's. infact they wait in queue ahead to buy the latest technology even before these technology are out, as we have seen with the iPhone x.

even if you are not among these class of people you shouldn't be using outdated technology. and the only way to avoid using an outdated technology is to set a records for each technology you shouldn't buy from date of manufacturing. technology advancement and update is to correct mistakes from early production.

most people don't consider date of manufacturing and that's why they end up buying outdated device or a device they don't need.

as an ordinary person who reside in africa you shouldn't buy a car that's more than 10years behind.

but for now let us concentrate on phone for this thread.

example is iPhone 5 which is now outdated, and iphone 5s is next in line. there wont be any future updates between 5 & 5s in 2018 apart from bug fix. if you intend to buy the device and use for the next 1 or 2 years or you intend reselling it later on please avoid this models, and instead go for iPhone 7 because iPhone 6 is going to lose 40% value in 2018. except ofcourse you get them for really cheap.

Infinix Hot4 is plagued by battery problems.... I made a mistake in switching from Samsung to Infinix.

that is a bit understand and fair

but my question is this, how many affordable phones run on Android 8.0 (Oreo) already
from the look of things Android phone running on Android 8.0 is not even up to 3% of the phone in circulation

Don't know about android but do not buy the iPhone 6. Waste of money.

Please dont buy techno k9 plus.
Unless you cant afford a boiling ring or an iron.. also Its 3g and not 4g like most techno marketers that misled us on nairaland.

See as this person dey yarn dust. Oua those that have the money nko

my current phone. made in 2016, 13MP camera, 2gb ram, 4G LTE, 16gb Rom, octocore. 3000 mAh.

now if i am buying another phone in 2018. you wouldn't expect me to go for anything below this?

It's your pocket that decides.

I thought I was the only lamenting I bought this phone. I should have just gone for infinix but the camera is top notch tho

Lol. I'm glad I switched from all those Gionee, Tecno and Infinix to Samsung.

Samsung s6 is a 2014 phone... so make people no buy abi

Infinix marketers will soon storm this thread and tell you how the infinix hot they bought in 2014 is still performing better than an S8 and its running Android 9.0 Pancake

yanshDoctor:

Android OS. don't buy anything less than Android 8 OS. =ERROR

seun, lalasticlala

Ajeborhustler1:

No problem, let them come. Just tell them when they arrive and start preaching their false gospel according to Infinix to you, that they are lying....

What?

ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY A PHONE LIKE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 DOESNT MAKE SENSE

IF I HAVE THE MONEY I WILL BUY IT O.

Ajeborhustler1:

Anyone buying should know that even though Samsung hasn't announced that they're throttling the speed of phone with older batteries, the S6 experience i witnessed while trying to transfer stuff is unbearable. Just don't do it! Go for S7 and above for samsung S series.
