I don’t do Kevin Gate’s music but you have heard his ‘2 phones’ song? If no, hit youtube. It provides an applicable answer to your question.

Thanks a lot. I am assuming it is a common sight there too. But i would watch the video to confirm.

It started in Nigeria because INTRA networks are were significantly cheaper INTER network calls especially when GSMs first rolled out circa 1995

HTC trying to cling on to life desperately. A futile effort at remaining relevant.

I remeber my M8 and M9 that year, those fones suffered me ehn.

Bye bye High Tech Computer Corporation, you wont be missed.

It looks like a cross between a Samsung S9 and a Google Pixel or IphoneX sef.

If not too expensive, might risk it as a back-up phone ( 390$ isnt too bad ooo) shocked

By the way, we Nigerians usually carry at least 2 phones around even with Dual SIMs.

Our diasporan brethren, since i am sure most networks are good there, do yoy still have multiple phones ?

Is it a common sight abroad ?
oyibo people n.a. one phone dem dey carry oooh

the phone is not so expensive, it's just our naira that is shitty grin
Oga $390 is no small money anywhere in the world.
HTC has finally lost it! They don't make good quality phones in the league of Samsung, Huawei and LG, but price them in that category. Who would buy?
The customers that can stand the shifty phones can't spend that much, and those that could would stand their shitty phones when there are better alternatives from even stronger and better brands.
Even Infinix (though am not a fan) Note 5 at 60k can compete with this phone going exorbitant 2.5 times more expensive.
Nice thread though cool

Actually there have been challenges in the battery technology in terms of matching capacity with size. But research is still ongoing to improve this match. It's a gradual thing.

An average American can buy anything they like and pay for it for the rest of their lives

They have the population

That country and Europe alone can sustain iPhone

Lemme quickly add that Apple, makers of iPhones, is the richest company on planet earth

All that iPhones need is hype to keep going places

Gone is gone in the IT world. Do your best to remain relevant. Once you are gone, you are gone. A remedy's chance is lesser than 1 percent. Nokia tried to come back with a "techy" 3310. A few bought, but it didn't put Nokia back to the spot it used to occupy. Yahoo, myspace, Hi5, Netlog all lost their market share and they never returned to "that" position they used to occupy. Staying relevant in my opinion is the most important for any tech company.

Until you have phones thay exolodes in your face.
3600mah is more than enough for Gods sake it is not a satelite phone.

A phones battery life is no by big battery. Cpu type, optimisation e.t.c plays a big role in battery life.

I have a lg g6 with only 3300mah the battery lasts me for the whole day.

Wakanda phone design is that?

Technically, an SD 636 riding on 3600mAH at about 150k is a mistake in this new world. OP, this isn't a market share survival phone, it's a good bye to phone business phone by HTC. Haven't they learn from past that their phones are off budget? Haven't they heard about Xiaomi phones?
Y'all should stop taking shit and talking shit.


for such spec $390 is not too expensive, blame your shitty naira. By the way $390 is just a little over 140k not 150k as stated by OP.

If you all asking for 10k Mah don't know what smartphone is just better shut up and stop making noise, I actually use a phone of 2860Mah and it serves me well, I don't need a power bank nor a brick what I need is a phone.

This HTC right here will beat your lovely Xiaomi and brothers anytime any day, ever seen the camera on HTC or the speaker/sound Quality before?

Batteries are like diccks: it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.

Ever heard of optimization? That's when the software and hardware and cleverly optimized with energy management tricks to make good use of batteries.

Nigerians and battery size....smh

If your HTC serves you well, congrats. But the phone market for HTC electronics is heading the blackberry way.

You haven't tried a Xiaomi obviously.

There's hardly anything this phone has over Redmi note 5 (Including cameras and speakers) , and that is priced at $164!

390 dollar for this is extortion, when phones like Asus Zenphone 5Z and the likes with flagship specs are just about the same price with this severely underpowered and incapable device.

HTC will go the blackberry way!

HTC is making one last attempt for survival by unleashing the HTC U12 Life, a very pretty smartphone which comes loaded with latest features and the fact it doesn’t come with the display notch makes me fall in love with it more because it exudes uniqueness. HTC threw in everything it’s got into this product and I have every reason to believe this will be the launchpad that will propel the company into success which it desperately needs at the moment.



This pretty smartphone was released at the IFA 2018 in Berlin, Germany along with a lot of really cool tech products and it’s specs are very impressive and the U12 Life is all purple or blue eye-candy with a partial glass pane on the back that mimics the backing on Google’s flagship phone of 2017, the Pixel 2 which was released on 19th October 2017. Without wasting much time let’s look at the specs of this beauty.

HTC U12 Life display, design and software



The display on the U12 Life will sport a large 6-inch display with 18:9 screen ratio and 1,080 x 2160-pixel resolution (FHD+), Touchscreen, Multi-touch IPS LCD screen. This display is very rich and crystal clear, it is the perfect screen for watching HD movies and playing High Resolution games. In the software department, it comes with Android 8.1 Oreo which will also support upgrade to Android 9.0 Pie. The design is okay, slim bezels, rear mounted fingerprint and a glossy glass cover at the back.

HTC U12 Life camera and processor



The camera is a dual rear 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel (f2.0) with LED flash, 13-megapixel front-facing camera (f2.0) for taking lovely selfie. The processor that powers this smartphone is an Octacore Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor. It’s not the best processor in the world but it gets the job done.

HTC U12 Life battery and storage



Under the hood is a 3600 mAh battery which is okay unless you are a heavy gamer, this battery can take you through a whole day on a single charge. It has two variants. The 64GB ROM, 4GB RAM variant and the 128GB ROM, 6GB RAM internal storage variant. Both variants will have a microSD card slot.

HTC U12 Life features, colors and price



Moonlight Blue and Twilight Purple colors are the two available colors. It also features a headphone jack, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a USB-C charger port. It will sell for $390 (N150,000 Approx)

150k ?! lol

HTC doesn't know sh!t


they sank because their prices weren't up to their names ie, unlike apple that is unnecessarily expensive but has a name and popularity which makes people wanna buy it , HTC doesn't have that therefore no one would wanna spend 150k to buy HTC because it's doesn't have the publicity required


look at infinix when they first started ,their phones where very cheap but also good , from there it built a name , now infinix phones are getting more expensive but people are still buying cause it has a name!
