That's for those on the know here..

Take the two to any brick and mortar market for resale and the A30 will trump it..

The average buyer on the street knows the Samsung Galaxy brand,the same cannot be said of Xiaomi..
Lol... Its not by knowing Samsung brand, its by how much they are ready to offer. Samsung phones don't have 2nd resale values cus a lot of people will be pricing rubbish price cus they think they can use that money u want to sell your second hand Samsung phone to buy a brand new infinix, gionee and tecno phones or better still xiaomi or umidigi. Eg, if you buy a Samsung phone of 60k now and u want to sell it so urgent, people will be pricing 20k or las las 25-30k. So now tell me where is the 2nd resale value here?

How far with this issue?

Log in to your mi account on browser, click on settings and share the screenshot. Also click the avatar icon and select Account then share the screenshot too) Those two screenshots will shed light on the situation.

I sent an email to their customer service and they asked me to provide some information about my phone.
That, i have done this morning.
i sent them snapshots of the purchase invoice, order/tracking number, exact location where the mi account was created and my first and last names. So, any moment from today, I should be good to go.

Thanks a bunch for your concern.

Samsung has the highest resale value of any Smartphone bar iPhone..

Everybody knows Samsung,most don't know Xiaomi and will take some convincing to buy a second hand of it..

And even at that,they will price it at a much cheaper price compared to a Samsung..
Make we nr argue here, experience na good teacher, nr b theory I dey quote, I know how many used Xiaomi I don sell, I nr fit sell any Samsung midrange at such rates. The depreciation
for Samsung phones even the S series na bomb.

You have a strong point here, imagine the price one can sell a used S8 now, even used s9, people will be quick to remind you of the current price for new ones grin.

If Samsung doesn't have a 2nd hand resale value,which phone has?

If you place a used Samsung Note 8 alongside a used Xiaomi Mi 8 at Computer Village, which phone do you think people will gravitate towards?

If people price Samsung used phones rubbish prices like you said,

What do you think they'll do to the price of a used Xiaomi Phone at Emeka Offor Plaza at ONITSHA..

And am talking from experience too,

Humans gravitate towards what they are most familiar with,that's why TECNO sells a whole lot of Phones in Nigeria..

The average person in Nigeria does not go online to check out the best models for their money..

They go with what they are most familiar with and the great majority of Nigerians don't know of Xiaomi,

Only those familiar with the brand will splurge good money for a used Xiaomi..

MOST will go for a used Galaxy..

Not Again . Which kind wahala be this again.

If u like sell Ur Samsung 5k, if u like sell Ur xiaomi 5k, na u know ojere.

Just for the record, I have never sold my xiaomi phone below its Net Book Value.

Either u like, accept or reject the fact, Samsung prices drop drastically with time. That's a proven fact.

And when making sales, you need to know Ur target market.

I no dey argue, pls, don't qoute me oooooooo grin

I believe this is true. I got a new sim 5 days ago (0901). Double data only worked once and that was it.

Did you switch to another tariff plan? That can also disable the double data, happened to my brother some time ago.

Boss, the only edge Redmi 5 plus (1080 -full HD) has over Redmi 7 (720 -HD) is the screen resolution. Redmi 7 wins in the other aspect -Camera, Chipset, OS, design.

To me, I will opt in for Redmi 7.

Dont forget to patronize ur boy as usual. cool grin cheesy

Bro, Emeka Offor plaza is mi home. They price brands that they don't know higher than a brand like Samsung. Take a galaxy s6 to Emeka Offor plaza now. If U're not careful, they'll make u an offer that'll prompt u to start a fight.

Infact, ppl here still de price my redmi note 4, 48k. Ordinary RN4, which I bought in 2017.
