I hate it when Nigerians are criticizing Chinese products when they can't even produce a chalk. If China wants to produce stuffs that will last 100years they can do it. Those cheap products are for those who can't afford the high end devices. How many people can afford Samsung S5 and iPhone 6?

Every body knows nothing lasts forever, i have seen samsungs die like china phones and even d said iphone outdates its phones everyyear and if u wany to belong to d said status quo, u av to keep up, using an iphone 4 in d wake of iphone 6 is like using a blackberry bold 2 in d wake of bb passport. I used a tecno phantom A+ for over a year till i gave it up 4 an infinix zero last november and both my infinix and tecno are in great conditions, its not like i dont crave an iphone, i really buh being realistic its not in my reach, maybe wen i start to earn above 250k,i can close eye and buy apple products, but right now dere are priorities biko, dere are childrens school fees to be paid, lands and functional automobiles to be bot, houses to built, rents to be paid, av got to save for these, right now am more dan content with my infinix zero, and its really nice, i actually think it cud compare with s5,my kids handle d fone roughly and its still intact

And am sure all the millions of pple using it facing thesame problem worldwide fail to read reviews

We aren't making arguments here. This thing isn't new, companies mess up sometimes with some products then they quickly release another to patch it up. Currently, Qualcomm is facing same thing with snapdragon 810.

You made a very big mistake buying the Xperia z. It is a problematic phone thats why Sony released z1 earlier than planned. Next time, read reviews before purchasing a phone

Nigeria isn't part of the markets they launch their phones.

Chinese phones are not meant to be repaired... Once it develops problem, scrap it.

BTW, once a phones last up to a year, it had done it bit and retirement shouldn't be out of place.

You will need extra battery. China phones usually get hot like fever and that drains the power quickly. U have to keep a spare battery just in case, and that's bullshit
have u used both

I can assure u that blackberry batteries die faster than that of android

I've seen people dumping their blackberry and going for android due to battery issues

what can u say about that

Oga, that's not true. I've used both android and blackberry and the difference is clear. Androids are better off in graphics, games and other application but in terms of battery, blackberry beats them hands down. You may be unlucky to get a bad bb battery but if we compare them new to new, blackberry wins

The best in terms of battery conservation is curve 2 based on the fact that it doesn't carry much application; followed by curve 3 etc. But all in all, blackberry battery lasts longer than android's. Why u may think otherwise is because most people prefer buying London used

oga calm down... I created the topic after realising that most people complain of such China droids when things go south.. especially developers.. kindly look at the article and spot what I'm talking about.. Instagram, Facebook etc is not heavy usage oo..
Re: Disadvantages Of Buying China Phones (Chinadroids) by CashdownNG: 5:50pm On Mar 24, 2015
@All

i created this topic to give a little insight on China droids not to criticize them but to open some healthy output from experienced users.. some people here are frustrated by their life status and are complaining "how many people can afford an S5 etc.."

look even in the US people buy Chinese phones perhaps not as much as we do but let's be objective with forum discussions because from what I've seen here it's easy to see why we have a President we have as people in this country reason majorly with undue sentiments..

Gionee M2 and M3. The best phone you can think of.

Blackberry bolds and curves are known for poor battery capacity and retention. The best among the series is Curve 7. And even at that it's poor compared to most androids. Except you are using a very poor quality Android, all gionee, lenovo, Elephones, etc phones have better battery capacity than blackberry curve and bold series for example.

I'm using Q5 now, and it lasts up to 8 hours if I use it consistently with all the application running.
Re: Disadvantages Of Buying China Phones (Chinadroids) by InZA: 7:06pm On Mar 24, 2015
I think it all depends on your need for a phone in the first place...... Personally I've fallen in love with these so called "chincko" phones(except technology and infinix). I got my present Gionee M2 phone when I was in a state that had next to no power supply. I tried my hands on that phone and believe you me it's been a super awesome experience... I'm still using it till date and I'm still loving it.


Like I said, it depends on what you want to use the phone for and also if the phone has the features you want, the next phone I'm planning to get is a "chinko" phone called "1+one".... This phone sold for 70k the last time I checked, so you see its not necessarily about getting a chinko phone because it's cheap. It's about getting what truly pleases you chinko or not. I personally detest iPhone and everything apple, not because of the price tag but because of their compatibility issues.

So it isn't always about price. Many times its about personal preference
