Lol.....as in eehn that iPhone 6 Plus be like 6 inch phablet grin

I don't know why Apple cannot reduce those bezels....this is 2016 FCOL!

Bros the thing taya me for Apple. Bottom bezel is understandable because if the home button, but at least make the top bezel smaller. My ideal phone size is 5.1-5.3 inches. Anything more is out of my comfort zone. But I can still use the note 5 because it is a powerhouse and it's got an s pen.

Thats just the truth. The dollar has made buying a flagship phone an almost unwise venture. Buying a mobile phone for almost 300,000 to me is not wise.


Just imagine your Galaxy Note 7 of 400,000 catching fire cheesy

You can consider S6 edge plus. Its battery is much better than the regular S6

You just couldnt resist going the Note 7 route cheesy cheesy cheesy

Screen on time is how long ur battery lasts while the screen is on. That is exluding idle time.

My favorite track is I remember , followed by feego and Ibadi. I'm a big reminisce fan, I like olamide too but lyrically reminisce is the boss, olamide just knows how to pull crowd.

Bossmd & greenhulk, na only una get this thread, Haba?
Anyways I'm enjoying ur convo it's enlightening
It's really hard to strike a balance btw price and functionality, I dropped Samsung since S3, waited for them to improve on their battery, but even at s6, they still haven't.
Greenhulk, if you're waiting for iPhone 7, trust me it's not worth the hype, pls take some time to watch a YouTube video of what it looks like. Apart from the missing audio jack and slight picture quality improvements (which most ppl won't notice), I was disappointed.
It's closer to 6s than 6s is to 6, the camera , even aesthetically 6S is better looking than 7.
I'm also waiting for iPhone 7, but after watching some videos and reviews I just don't see the need to wait, to buy when I can just get the 6S which is now cheaper.
About Chinese phones, Infinix, techno and gionee are no go areas, but trust me China phones get levels, Haba u tried Huawei or Xiaomin, well I'm yet to hold a Xiaomin, but I'm currently using Huawei accent mate 7, and it's totally worth it, very good competitor with HTC, Sony, but not Samsung Sha, but way better battery life.

Haba bros....we no thief anybody keyboard make dem no contribute na cheesy

In fact I don't even consider Huawei and Xiaomi China phones.....I put those two in the same range with Samsung, HTC, and Sony. Since they also use Qualcomm and Snapdragon Processors. It's those phones that use MTK chips I place as China phones.

Huawei phones are really solid. Have you seen their Ascend Mate 8?

Buy whatever makes u happy. Do u think a busy man with a good paying job has time to be manipulating his phone? Where it is Android, iPhone or Windows phone just get whatever makes u happy (if u can afford it). I used galaxy s6 for over a year and it is the best phone I have ever used (apart from the very poor battery life). I also have an iPhone 5s which is the most reliable responsive phone I've ever used. I sold my s6 3 days ago and decided to give Chinese phones a try.

Bought an Infinix hot s for 50k still kept some change from the sale of my s6. That is my first Chinese phone and oh boy I don't think I will ever buy a Chinese phone again. Upon all the hype about the camera , the camera is NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT especially in low light. The phone lags from time to time and the screen resolution is so wack compared to the s6 and iPhone 5s, screen fails to respond from time to time especially when pulling down the notification tray. I am going to use this phone for about a month and sell it get an iPhone 7 or galaxy s7 edge. Really if u can afford a high end phone just buy it and get a rest of mind.
Infinix is French not Chinese

Its ridiculous when people keep saying its not advisable to use iPhone in Nigeria. What is wrong with Nigeria? Is it not the same services that AT&T offers that Etisalat offers? What is the difference between T-mobile and MTN? Are they not both Telecom operators. The only difference that is discernible right now is the fact that the American operators offer LTE services and Contract plans. Apart from that there ain't no differences. iPhone is a smartphone with data abilities as well as GSM capabilities. You people should go to school and stop smoking weed all around the streets. This is the only way you all can learn and make your parents proud!

Softly softly Oga IPhone , can't you educate us without being so pretentious ?
