Here is what I was told today at a phone vendor's place. As I inquired of a particular Nokia make, that hasn't been lunched in Nigeria. Nokia X71 (8.1 plus). "It was obvious the phone can only be ordered online from overseas" I told the vendor. Then she repied as follows:

Phone brands "Nokia" ordered from overseas via Jumia is without warranty. Secondly, It is not a Nigeria specification. Hence, There might be a challenge if there are need for repair. As the exact parts may not be readily available at the Nigeria Nokia Care Centre. Except the person send it back to the country it was ordered from whenever there is a need for repair.
Is the above claims true?
I was almost paying for the one she offered as against my desired spec.

1. What are the differences between global version & the chanise version in phones?

2. Does version have anything to do with the phone's quality?

3. I noticed a wide price gap at a Nokia brand outlet today as against the Jumia online price. Though, that of Jumia is an order from overseas. Does this have anything to do with quantity?



Please how true are the above submissions. I've been doing a little research on what brand & make of phone to purchase within a budget of 100k to 150k. Though, I was kind of considering Nokia & Huawei phones.

Mods you can help to escalate it. Really need to get clarifications.

Repair of such phones might be hard cos of lack of spare parts.... But you can as well order the damaged parts too Eg screen...[extra stress]......

Summary: If you're not the extremely careful type, i suggest you buy the model[s] we have here...





My kinda person can order for such phones cos i can use a phone for 3yrs without it falling and breaking...

congratulations you've been successfully brainwashed by a mere sales girl

na wa ooo , d sales girl want u to buy Tecno ,infinix or itel from them...guy wake up..I prefer overseas phone cos s durable & parts available...

Buying overseas from Jumia is costly because those sellers there actually buy them from other foreign shops like Amazon or Aliexpress before the resell to you on Jumia

It would be better you order it from Aliexpress or Amazon directly as it would be cheaper

Secondy, if you buy the phone with a screen guard and pouch, you would be guaranteed to use it for an extended period without any problems

Happy buyings

Funny to see that oups was brainSmached by ordinary SiSi from TrassionCrap company,ayam ashame of U

Na true the girl tell you ooo, I been the you Samsung Galaxy BK then, when the phone touchpad getb problem, imagine for my state they say make I sendam go Lagos BK then,
So imagine say na oversea paro....
Even if you you order the part from overseas, we go Sabi fixam for this country?

I would advise you not to try it.

Apart from the possibility of damage... those courier companies would bill you to the gills.

Fedex swindled me of almost 70k and despite evidence of not remitting it to the FG, they threatened me through every possible channel.

Unfortunately i couldn't find any contact email for the relevant authorities to forward the evidence and so i gave up.

Jetli, well done

Lmao... She just wants sell her market.

Jumia don spoil show for those phone sellers.

I use a Nokia from Jumia and I can tell you it's the same and way cheaper.

The phone is the Global version same as those sold by Slot and it receives updates periodically.

Only that it doesn't have warranty, abeg who warranty help, warranty that you'll still pay for repairs again.

The price difference of buying from Jumia and Slot is about 30-40k and is just too much to be ignored.

Ok

Why ordering a single item from abroad?

Really

Very true... Wen u wan repair am na den u go know say u no Wise

Kindly buy a phone that have outlets here, you can excuse the usual infinix and tecno if you want, xaomi and huawei phones still cut it

I cant believe a young chap with access to internet can be easily deceived. Now imagine our not too IT compliant parents agemates

My xiaomi redmi note 5 was ordered from aliexpress (China) . I have been using it since November last year and I haven't had any issues. You can order a phone abroad, just make sure you buy from a reputable seller and also use a screen guard.

she just guy u.


mind you Nokia warranty service center in Nigeria is a scam. i bought Nokia 5, one of the sim stopped showing, took it to them, they kept it for over 3 weeks, they called to say it's ok, as I got home same thing happened again, i took it back they kept for another 2 weeks. still no show. then I asked for a replace, na dia fight start.

if u see a phone that u like online, buy it. even if there is a problem with it they refund you ur money. jumia has done it Ali Express has done it. these sites are far better than the shitty warranty centers in this country.

guy you're brainwashed that's all

Pure lie,she wanted you to buy from her.You can't compare phone produce specifically to first world country to that of a third world low quality version. Make your order dear

can someone buy phone from Ali express from Nigeria? I never knew aliexpress send goods to Nigeria

The girl told you the truth.
You wont be covered by warranty, but at the same time, phone warranties are pretty useless because the most common damage i.e. broken/smashed screen are not covered by warranty except you buy an insurance which are usually expensive at the time of phone purchase.

I have a new TV in my house now (maybe not new anymore cos it's over 5yrs). My uncle brought it from Europe. It had been useless since the week he brought it after it accidentally fell and broke. Alaba boys couldn't fix it. Even at Samsung office, they concluded that the importer should request for a new screen cos the TV is not of Africa's specification.
