Please did you order from aliexpress, if yes did you pay custom charges?

I ordered through Jumia March last year during their mobile week.

How much is your Xiaomi?

I bought it N42900 March 2018


It's a 3GB RAM 32GB ROM

Ennyholar:

Xiaomi are cheaper because you bought them outside Nigeria, wait till they get here

go and study and understand how Xiaomi runs it's marketing and sales also compare their prices to all regions in the world they don't hike price point fyi they always run their outlet emselves to cover cost and cub inflated sales by retailers out there, the more reason it's extremely popular in India ryt now, the sub redmi is gonna give you value for your money on midrange-highend specs

Delivar:

I am not a Tecno marketer. I am only posting with common sense. The point I am trying to make is that you should not condemn what is actually helping some other people just because you feel you can afford the premium products. Without Tecno a lot of people wouldn't own smartphones so I will say Tecno is not actually useless cos they are filling a void. It's just like being broke and using Tecno, then eventually you became rich and purchased an iPhone and started condemning Tecno that helped you when you were poor.

i Got your point sir.

but trying to Generalize it isnt Good Enough

They may find it difficult here in Africa because Tecno, Infinix and other already dominating African already...

When you have used tecno or infinix phones for a while.
And you lay hands on a xiaomi or huawei phone.
You realise tecno and infinix devices are java enhanced devices with android footprint, a washed out display with poor internal and external materials, made for low expectancy.

Tecno and infinix phones are for the rich, because you will always find reasons to buy their next device, if no be ram, e go be battery or screen just after a week use.

Xiaomi phones are just in another level, sometimes I feel xiaomi have a backdoor to purchasing phone parts so as to sell it for such affordable prices.

A xiaomi phone of 60k is worth more than a tecno or infinix phone sold for 150k. Every xiaomi phone has a 120% value worth. Every tecno or infinix phone has -35% value worth.
Anyone who thinks anything I wrote is false or unverified should quote me.

My doogee y6 max of 2017 is performing at such an incredibly level after a year plus, still no tecno or infinix phone can compare to it in terms of price or specs.
Let alone comparing any of these cheap mediocre devices from infinix and tecno to xiaomi who from China conquered India technological market in 2years.

Posters who are saying xiaomi will struggle should visit the xiaomi thread on nairaland. They aren't here officially they have dethroned every phone brand...
If xiaomi price is affordable now, just wait till they come here officially.

NaijaTechGuy:


You really think Xiaomi hasn't planned all that out
.

They made Redmi a sub brand to cater for things like that. The Redmi Note 7 has 4GB RAM, 4G Support, 48MP Camera , Snapdragon Chip, Quick Charge 4, 4000maH and more and it costs less than N60k

Trust me they know what they're doing and they're even planning to launch Android Go phones to take on the low-end iTel devices.

Please, where and how can I purchase one?

Available on AliExpress

For y'all thinking it'll be another Tecno, rethink cos this phone is on same class as Samsung and iPhone. Yes! I said it.... IPhone! So in terms of price, hehehehe, you go spend money ooo! I just hope they don't compromise their standards for the Nigerian market cos these Nigerians love to spend less for more.

Fair point. And that's why Tecno and Infinix will always be leading here

Competition is healthy. So it is welcome. Tecno will do more and Xiaomi will have their work cut out.

true talk,TECNO has really dominated the market so if they think the want some share in the market,theres a lot of work they have to do
