I got mine for N33000. I'm sure it will be between N35000 and N37000 now. Good luck[



Mehn it has gone up ooo.. But really is it worth the price?

[quote author=Emmaco1990 post=47157396][/quote]

Got mine for 35k i.e the gold colour three weeks ago. The black colour was up for 34k.
So far so good,i love the phone.

I wish people here were more honest in their review of this phone. I would have had a reliably informed premises before making a decision to buy one, even at a princely sum of N35800. I lost hope in Nairaland guys. Well, human beings will continue to be human beings.


If the phone had gone for 22k or 25k maximum, it would be fair, even now with the enduringly weak value of the Naira. People seem enamored win the phone's battery forgetting that there are many other things expected of a highly priced phone.

We have the Tecno L8 plus, with better battery and lower price. How are they different? Is it convenient then to say the battery capacity alone justify the price of this phone?

The rear camera is not great. Display not impressive. Varying battery status charging and discharging.
The phone looks beautiful for showoff only.

I didn't plan out to buy JUST a phone; Not even at that amount. The battery capacity of a phone is ONE of the basic features to look out for BUT certainly not the ONLY thing, as a lot of people are usually quick to flaunt that quality.

And again, nobody really wants to look foolish. By revealing to their friends the disappointment they feel after getting a phone, they feel they are likely to be considered so. Hence, the reason for...

I compare it with infinix hot note (relatively reduced price), then I felt less than wise. This experience I have may differ from another person. The consolation is the HOPE that I would find something really impressive in the phone in future in order to justify and get the value for my money.

We are taught to look at the good side of every situation, and appreciate it. Just like my 'friends' who I described up there as not wanting to look foolish, I would say that the phone is not bad; After all, mine looks fashionably and amazingly stylish. Smile

Camera is ok Ive seen it with someone. Battery superb too, removable is a plus. But I dont see anything else special about it

I'm currently using the phone and though I'm not a phone guru, the battery life is fantastic, it is surely not as impressive as I thought it would be.
For instance, when chatting on bbm, I've to constantly check to see if the other person has replied cos I won't hear the beep or see the reply till I check even though I'm still holding the phone. I also noticed that emoticons are not visible when I use them on NL neither can I see other posters'own.
I hate the phone joor!

truth be told..M5mini no supose pass 25k,gionee too exagerate dis phone wit ba3

I'm currently using this phone but, I think the ba3 life is over overrated, mine barely last 24 hours on normal mode.
Also have this annoying ads popping up my screen every now and then.

pls where did u get urz in lagos?

A shop called finet communications limited. It is located at computer village. If u still need more info abt them like office number or phone number, u will have to wait till I get home and check the receipt. The black one was up for 34k while the told which I use was 35k. Saturday will make it three weeks I bought it. So I don't know if there has been a change in price
