The name of the phone is Lenovo A 5800-D, the phone has on it 5 applications with every letter written in Chinese.

(4G”LTE) is encrypted on the phone but it has never displayed even 3G. The phone has no googleplay services and google play store.


Is there any way I can download google play services and google playstore and who has experienced this before and who is still experiencing it?

Lol! The 4G LTE thingy might come from your network that's only if its available in your location but as for the Google Playstore you'll have to search Google in this format "Google services apk" and then download

Obviously the phone no worth am, imagine 512 RAM and 4GB ROM in this era undecided

It is actualy a 4G phone, you will have to go to sim management, then network mode to change the default setting to 4G. As per the chinese nonsense, you will have to root your phone in order to be able to delete the chinese default langauge at factory reset. As per the google playstore, you cannot download it as lenovo phones only restrict their softwares to only lenovostore. Try and download mobogenie in place of playstore

Oga, you bought a phone that was made for Chinese use only not the international version.

China only Android phones don't come with Playstore and only 2g works on them when you put in a Nigerian sim.

There could be a way to install Playstore on it but you'll never be able to use 3g or 4g on it.

It's not a fake phone, it's just that it isn't meant to be used in Nigeria.
