I knew this would happen, in advance i arranged one Note 8 Pro from India , in march.

DragnetisaKuk:


It's not just Xiaomi. It affected a lot of brands, especially those with factories in red zones in India. The Redmi Note 8 is still a good buy but if you can get a Redmi Note 8 Pro for cheap, you won't be missing out on much.

Crownedjon:
for the first time am liking your comment even for being reasonable...

It is what it is is

Still my next dream device. 6 Pro to note 9s..

bastien:
we understand dollar to naira issues, but trust me Nigerians marketers will do anything to inflate price and term it was pandemic or naira falling... Check slot, even the phones at stock all hiked in price.

Those phone doesn't worth that price, be it price depreciation, if only all Nigerians will join me and backslide feom purchasing the phone for now.

They know we all still gonna buy no matter the price range, go on twitter and see how people are complaining or their fb page.

Why should some one that need the phone right now and have the money back out from buying?

ddjay:

See jumia price, i think some politicians are now cutting their own share as import proceeds. Imagine a small phone like galaxy m11 for 62k, a30s that not more than 75k last year is almost 100k now, m30s was 74k early this year now almost 130k. the prices are generally high

You understand that if xioami decides to open an outlet in Nigeria then the price of their phones will become more expensive than those bought from AliExpress or other online stores. They will have to pay tax, employ Nigerians which they will pay and then offer after sales services. To recoup their money the price of their devices will have to be adjusted. This is what tecno have bee doing dormant years and why their phones are pricier than those bought from online shops.

boss I have been using Xiaomi since 2016 Redmi Note 7 I bought last year from China was the biggest mistake I did, I should have been patient instead I thought I have the money and spent 81k on the phone, when the company finally enter Nigeria market it was far lesser, everybody was happy that the midrange MI is here, first Bleep up, Xiaomi started paying twitter influencer who knows nothing about Xiaomi or phone, while the sellers here were left to officially promote the company. Now they have joined the likes of Tec and Inf to hike prices cause Nigerians mumu no dey ever do. I'm a big Samsung fan boy and I have never used one, any phone above 80k is a no for me, if person ask me how much I buy, I will definitely lie, I know where I dey stay na phone thieves and bully full am.

I see am, just like I'm not moving forward na, na 6/128 dey my agenda

edoairways:
@NikeMi1 the devaluation of naira is responsible for such hike ,this isn't perculiar to xiaomi alone

Wow! You can make good comments . Is God not good? Lol.

Mustiboy:



Considering our economy, they could have given us the Redmi Note 9 instead of the Redmi Note 9s. The Note 9 launched at $140 for the 4/64gb version.

R10x 4G launched at $140 in China not the Global RN9

Nellsworld:

Realme phones aren't cheap internationally, X2 is above 100k for new one on Aliexpress

Lol bros
You no search well
You can get X2 for as low as 82k on some stores in AliExpress
There's one or two in my cart at the moment with 84$ DHL shipping as the only available option
2 weeks ago, AliExpress standard shipping was available for 6$ or so

So Na the imposed DHL shipping be problem
Some are not even shipping to Nigeria for now

When ordering, do u only calculate the phone price or the total sum, is the total sum you should be calculating and also add custom fees too
