baba, abeg leave that dumbo, when i was reading his quote, the moment i read where he stated that helio p22 is better than SD 439 I was seriously convinced that this one is a staunch zombified marketer.

Xiaomi warriors now see it

KarlWhyte:
We never use S4 finish, S5 don come out....why cant they upgrade like xiaomi, samsung, huawei instead of all these recycled models....
though am using S4 at the moment but i dont see a much difference to the S5...

Are u in Nigeria at all..
U don't know about samsung A series.. They are about 20 models in a space of 4 months.. Infinix just launched about 5 this year,

Xiaomi own na worst... They were busy producing same devices all over, in fact almost all of them expect gionee any way, , , in u are one of the changephonobia victim... Its a must u will enjoy s4 and s5 and s6... Immediately u start to learn how to control d urge of changing phones all d time.. U will stop comparing trust me

skywalker240:
On helio p22, i should waste 60 something K.

Now you all can now see why we have been preaching against their devices. Redmi note 8 snapdragon 600 and something sells for 40-50 something k.

thank God say i don wake, no be me una go take clean yansh.

And u cannot afford to buy note 8 pro of 6gig ram 80k plus... Or u want us to ignore the 6 gig ram cox d s5 of 6gig ram is d one of #62500


And Redmi note 8 4gig ram 64gig ROM global in Nigeria is officially 63.000 naira on Lagos, so I assume #65k with transportation


While s5 lite 4gig 64gig is 46500 did u see the 20k different Is use s5 lite because d different between s5 and s5 lite is just d camera and design

So now how is xiaomi cheaper

And if comparing Infinix s5 lite and redmi 8... I will choose the Infinix s5 lite.

coz it. Beats d redmi 8 (not note 8.. Because if unsure smart enough u are not supposed to compare s5 with note 8 in the first place) in everything and am not a ROM fan so I don't need to customize mine like kids do.

No carry Chinese ROM of AliExpress come here doing wrong marketing

Warriors every where on phone section

So only d processor is d reason u check wen buying a phone, right.... I am happy all these xiaomi warriors are now coming clean, cox if not the processor the phone is OK, , , , right

I need to say it, don't just condemn everything in the phone just because of one thing is missing..

only missed just one thing... Haba...

Xiaomi as of now is using 2gig ram in devices hey is a good phone, if Infinix do d same, u see warriors

Xiaomi use old snapdragon warriors who Don know that 439 is old processor will start jubilating
If Infinix use p22 which is better they complain..

Xiaomi will use 8mega pix rare camera warriors will say is dupe..

Infinix use 16 they will say its fake number...

Xiaomi users change phones like 3 times in a year, they praise the phone and call u upgrade
Infinix users change phones ones in a year they tag u marketer...

As in..eh I thank God una hatred only ends on Nairaland and phone section.. In d next 20 years transition devices will still dominate Nigeria, its either u huge transfor or u respect urself and enjoy ur phone in peace.

At least Infinix marketers are being paid and they are doing der job. Xiaomi is not paying u guys, so go and rest

Some people forgot that p22 is better than snapdragon 439 but if xiaomi use d same snapdragon processor of old, d still praise d phone, if xiaomi use p22 in d future for der budget phones I believe xiaomi warriors will still praise it, , no sense

seunfly:
Lol are u new in phone usage, when spec says mediatek p22, what were u expecting?

Seriously is a good processor, abeg just its not d latest.. Its like expecting every laptop to come with 9th generation of its core series.....

D only problem with OP is d price of the phone is has nothing to do with d processor, make we hear word abeg..

OVA200:
Budget phone doesnt mean crap, it means putting the best spec for the best price possible; now tell me how is this phone worth 50K when xiaomi note 8 is sold for as low as 57k, doogee n20 is sold for 32k, oukitel c17 pro for 30k, umidigi f1 is currently sold for 48k with helio p60, FHD, 5150 Mah, usb type c. Bro let be blunt this phone dont worth 50k simple.

Fist all these phones u mention are on d same category with d Infinix s5.same resolution and same average processor... Umidigi f1 has sweet spec but bros that's phone na problem university,. I wanted to buy it before but the complains in der thread is so scary that u can worship itel product. So not all cheap things are best...

Don't forget that design is money.(Infinix has it)..
More camera is more.(Infinix has it).
So not only processor remember they are all using same level of processor oo. Una Don start again..

I have being in xiaomi thread, all I see is gcam this gcam that, and tweaking of ROM like kids...

If una don't like it leave it... Xiaomi warriors again.

drjprince:
there era is coming to an end watch as Xiaomi and Samsung A series wipe them out of existence

Story for the gods, Infinix and Tecno will stop making money when our economy is better, ... Now u can imagine that...

drjprince:
Samsung, hauwei, OnePlus, Xiaomi,Apple and oppo are the go brands

So u never learn up til now abi...

Every brand get a place to dominate, Tecno Don dominate Nigeria,

as in even if Samsung decide to make der phones 10k

Tecno will make der . 1k. That is strategy for u

For fvck sake many, when I say many people I mean so oooooooo many people are still using der old Tecno phones and they are not phone freak like me and u...

Bros just be real for once..

I told u, if Tecno can beat Nokia in Nigeria market. (I never said in quality) No other company will come close, ever I mean ever....

Tecno is making some poor student happy, nearly 60% of Nigerians are using Tecno Torch, as a call phone...

Quality Nokia...... no cares about it. My Tecno Torch is now about 6years old and it has 3 sim cards all working fine..

Drjprince am waiting for ur counter attack

ZesusHVWritter:
You have no right to expect xiaomi to do anything because I expect you to be reasonable and objective with your views but you are endlessly biased.

So you are cutting tecno, infinix some slack by advising people to spend their money on a faulty brand?
You are wicked. I am leaving off from commenting on this issue. I am sure the purpose of this thread has been meant. Anyone who visits nairaland will never touch transission. Or if they do, they can join the queue of persons whom marketers here will blame for buying a fake tecno, infinix device after the same markerters convinced them to buy the problematic device in the first place

Don't worry smart people understand

When u say something about xiaomi, even if its a mistake d amount strikers attacking eh even counter attack, are standby by

AmosAkins:
OP sorry about your phone bro
If you don't mind
Lemme just drop this
Final verdict
Xaomi is better than Transmission Holdings by a long margin.... Lemme give some small reasons
Have you seen xiaomi phones an tutu scores?
Tecno and infinix have a marketing strategy.. I mean the best in Nigeria that where xiaomi has failed
Or.....
Maybe Xiaomi aren't interested in African market.
Another issue is that Xiaomi parts aren't available so you gotta order them online compared to Tecno and infinix
That is why majority of Nigerians would prefer the so called known brand...
Imagine comparing a Tecno phantom 9 to Xiaomi redmi note 8??
Lemme just rest ma case abeg
Before marketers come for me

Thanks so much this the most important thing... All these argument, ur verdict is d summary, ...I am just cutting Tecno and Infinix some slack, if we forget the fact that its because of them we are here today.
I just want people do der marketing without attacking other brands.
Tecno do der adverts without bashing inferior Itel, , ,
I expect xiaomi do that too,

And give it time, they will soon dominate, no need hate ur fellow brothers for getting something cheap or inferior

I understand the frustration seeing Transmition market money, more than people doing actual quality,
Its just like using Mason to build a house instead of Engr. Most a times d masons Bleep up, because they collect the work with cheap price. And I will always tell client to use professionals. And forget the cheap masons... But that mean that we don't have good experience masons that can deliver small jobs. When it comes to big or bigger Job den u go for Engrs.

That's is similar thing we experience here, in as much Tecno is not as good as Xiaomi some of their products satisfy users.. So chipset or not durability or not value for money or not,

If xiaomi won't create Awareness leave Tecno Alone. If u want attack Tecno go their website or Facebook page that's all.

ZesusHVWritter:
Kindly die this ignorant claims. How can you say apps failing is due to low ram? Then even go further to say it happens on all phones... Wait.. These information you are spurring here, do you even bother to do a research first before going ahead with your insinuations or you just type as it deems fit to you without respect for others knowledge and exposure?

I want to believe what you are saying but I can't seem to find any reasonable logic to ascertain any form of authenticity in this claim of yours.

Get my points.
Someone praised xiaomi but not xiaomi but the chipset speed not the chipset branding but the general idea that xiaomi only uses a chipset of 2.2ghz?
There are less than a handful of chipset with such speed and xiaomi has used over hundreds of chipsets on their devices. So for someone to specifically praise xiaomi for chipset speed is preposterous and overreaching.
Does the speed of a chipset guarantee that a device is good?

Now, if the person who you claimed may have said this is real. Does he even have the basic idea of how a mobile device works?
Even xiaomi devices that uses mtk chipset have proven that, a chipset is half the job when making a device. The application of the chipset is what makes the overall experience of a mobile device.

I would love have a link or screenshot to that claim... I will also do a general search here on nairaland just to see who said it.

How d hell and how many times will I tell u people that 80% of the world don't care about chipset ooooo. Have u being in Onitsha main market,
Have u being in Alaba international market.
Even ariaria international market.

Most people selling the those phones self don't know about this chipest u are talking of....

So no matter how u guys preach it , it won't make any impact to average Nigerian traders...
Hawkers or masons... All these chipest up chioest down on Nairaland is never never never a marketing strategy...

Tufia... I keep telling u guys everyday, Tecno are not dominating because of good quality. And its left for xiaomi to do the need full and upgrade the marketing department why is that no one is talking about that..

Non of u ever talk of xiaomi poor marketing and awareness in Nigeria, who told u that in Nigeria if u want to sell u use chipest as a marketing power. Who told u guys that, that is the Job of Technicians not the job of the marketing department....

I am going to say it for the last time if xiaomi wants people to know about xiaomi...its der job to do d needful.. If they won't leave Tecno and Infinix alone. If u hate dem, u can swallow ur phone... Just d company alone especially on Nairaland....

gogeekish:
God bless you my brother.. That's what I have been talking about. I am mobile technician who specialises on the software side of the job. I know how silly complains comes from these unstable skinned OS called HiOS..

The problem is all xiaomi users believed that any one using Infinix or Tecno is suffering, I am a witness and I believe unsure me are witness to people using these phones for years, if u don't want to believe that they are durable not my problem, mine is OK and stable, ur brains are already programmed that xiaomi last for ever....if Tecno and Infinix is not durable they will no longer be here, qoute me after 20 years...

What I expect all of u to say is encourage xiaomi to upgrade der marketing and encourage transition company to upgrade der processor but as for Nigeria market they have dominant, if u don't like it hit nearest transformer beside u all, ...
Xiaomi marketers on Nairaland

I ordered the redmi 5 plus about 2 or 3 years ago for a friend through noobody here on nairaland.
His previous device before that was cubot x6.

After using the cubot for over a year, he sold it. I personally warned him against getting tecno or infinix device, but he wanted a device urgently so he said. I followed him to a plaza where he got the infinix note 4 pro for around 68k or there about. Guess what... he sold it after two weeks of use. Before asking my opinion on the xiaomi redmi 5 plus, which I ordered for him through noobody. And from that time till date. He is still using the redmi 5 plus.

That is the only instance that can be verified and proven true here on nairaland, so I will leave at that.

Anyone who steps out of transision's net, is never going back. You can check nairaland for different thread and narratives for confirmation.


Meanwhile, I bought the second redmi 8 today as planned. 4/64, that is two redmi device in less than a week. No be money too dey, na say whoever I give am to no go come with shocking complaints.

It's only on a transision device you will be seeing all types of system failure including contact not responding, Facebook has stopped, camera not found, Instagram force closing. Silly stuffs like that.

I.want u to read this conversation between me and a friend I recommended the same Infinix note 4 to her.. .its more than a year. Now going to two years..

I want u to know that people like her are much much much much more bigger than people using xiaomi, in Nigeria, so if u ask this Lady, is Infinix a good product she will say yes, so I wonder why u people won't understand that. And if u mentioned xiaomi to her she will laugh u and say abegi let buy d ones I know, and that is where xiaomi needs to come in to create awareness. So stop saying Infinix and Tecno are not durable most of der phones are... OK.. If not the old processor what else do u need from Tecno?? Der product is cheap too.. So what else do u want?

For ur last statement only people with 1 or 2gig ram experience such and same thing happens in any phone including Samsung.

What I want to point out actually is d processor speed in the pix u posted, its says 2.0ghz (Max) I saw a post when some one was praising xiaomi saying the produce 2.2ghz minimum in all der phones. As in xiaomi users have to lie now to boost der ego. That being said we never said xiaomi is bad, we said u people should leave Infinix and Tecno users alone

begwong:
Wow! The longest thread on nairaland history.
Damn this thread really helped me and my guys about Android ish years back!

I just decide to visit this thread again, , , wow, happy to be among history

John131:
Why this forum is deserted? Seems like everyone run to xiaomi house.

Complain house right, that how a thread become when its new, very soon it will die off just give the thread time, immediately the dominate, d noise will stop,

drjprince:
anywhere I see infinix or Tecno for nairaland im dey irritate me

Xiaomi doesn't irritate me, na Nairaland xiaomi users d vex me, I just post one counter attack

Waiting for u

This thread sweet o[left][/left]

drjprince:
yes sir

Loll u still dey attack like Liverpool??

Wayne4uall:
Guys pls I want to update my note 5 hope it won't have any effect with the battery life

Mine wasn't out of the box, and I updated almost immediately so I can't say the different between android 8-9 in terms of ba3 different, but its decent for normal use... Die faster on gaming

Chuksteric:
you're not making any sense.. If I'm looking for a new phone with a 80k budget , do you think I'll go for the phantom 9? Capital no!!!!! Value for money is receiving support after buying a phone... If truly you're an androidking you should know this without being told... You can keep using your phone if it gives you what you want but when thinking about changing devices, Tecno doesn't cut it.. I've been using my Nokia since last year after suffering from Tecno and I am never using anything from transion again... I was on Android 8, now 9 .. I'm still waiting for 10 whilst the camon 11 that was released is now a forgotten matter ..

I am.not the angry one xiaomi users are,
All my defence started from xiaomi users attacking
Transition company in the first place.
Tecno didn't over the market by building quality, dey were inferior devices as of 4 years ago, still they later dominate, remember not because of high quality but good marketing strategy. Nairaland Xiaomi users should stop attacking people on Nairaland for buying Tecno and Infinix that's all, let Xiaomi do der own marketing themeselves . den we all live in peace.

I think I know why u guys are always angry wit Tecno and Infinix.. Its because of the way the hype der product, like the Camon 12 series and S5 series . they not even a big phones, but dey market it in big way. And I think it upset most xiaomi people seeing how low device is making front page...

Bros its called marketing strategy, overtaking is allowed, if xiaomi will copy that, they will over take, see as nonsense itel is getting small ground, with der inferior devices... The question is what is stopping xiaomi from doing so... Its der business but its not d job of Nairaland.


Besides Tecno didn't even praise the phones they just launch it normal, invite few YouTube reviewers and boom they are selling

Imagine if xiaomi launch a phone in Lagos and they invite Nigeria youtubers and give dem d phones free for review, don't u think Nairaland will be full of xiaomi too...
YouTube review will also increase.. People will get to know about it.. One important question have u seen,
Valor.
Henry
And others critise xiaomi product before, they drop good honest review in both, Infinix, Samsung, xiaomi, Tecno, etc

Samsung users didn't even attack Tecno users like this, when Tecno was building more scrab back in their earlier stage self now that they have up der games, xiaomi users start attacking. Na wow... Make una take it easy, if u don't like what u are seeing please just be an official marketer and do it in a mature way without attacking any one. Thanks all

ZesusHVWritter:
The chipset on redmi 8 series is sd 439 not sd 435 like you said. And yes, when a xiaomi user sells his xiaomi device, it is to get a higher xiaomi device. If you are opportuned to use a xiaomi device of low-midrange you would never stop wanting to use their highend device.

The build quality, the sturdy feel, the smooth performance and the authentic materials used on their lowend device would make you want to feel their highend device even if it's for a moment.

I bought the 3G/32G variant of the redmi 8 few days ago for a friend. Seeing how awesome the device performed, I am getting the 4/64 tomorrow according to plan for a relative.

When a tecno or infinix user sells their device, they never touch anything transission again. That's how bad the transission standard for mobile device are.

How can prove that, ur last statement. So u just assume every one using infinix or Tecno are having bad experience. I can tell u that some xiaomi users still have der infinix phones along side d xiaomi, but some of them shame of admitting that phone served them well won't allow them talk because of the attack he or she will get.
Some of u dashed or sold ur phones out and those people u dashed or sold dem to are still enjoying it... Why den will u say, infinix and Tecno are not durable....
That Xiaomi is better does not mean Tecno is Bad..

Xiaomi is just better stop attacking or blaming people for purchasing something good, at least they can afford those ones

Chuksteric:
In as much as I understand your point.. Truth is most guys complaining about Tecno were all former users.. it's not by typing long epistles. Long story short Tecno needs to get their act together .. Xiaomi is good for the competition in the market.. That's why you can actually get a 4gb 64gb for under 50k ... More brands are sprouting and truth be told, Tecno no longer gives value for money

Yes most are formal users , I want u to also that d different between xiaomi and Tecno is d price , Tecno is cheaper ... Every one keep saying value for money like as if xiaomi its cheap,

Value for money Are u serious
, value for money is when u use a device over a long period and it serves u without constantly changing d device, only 20% of xiaomi users retain der old phone, d rest keep changing phones any how even wen different between d later are not much..

Tecno and infinix users are much thus wen u see 5% complain it will b like its d whole Nigeria. Just close Nairaland no one will know what is xiaomi..

At d end if xiaomi wants to dominate the market they should up der game in marketing department...
Tecno over take Nokia in Nigeria not buy building quality but by having good marketers, so abusing ur fellow Nigerians here and der won't even do a thing
