Literature / Re: The Etisalat Flash Fiction Contest Has Started. These Are My 7 Best Stories by Ashtonmcqueen(m): 8:55am On Nov 11, 2016 |
This is d story... I couldn't believe my ears, the elders picked me amongst countless other six year olds to go with the dhamaturi band to the city of lights and am in charge of making the sparkles or fireworks as old people call it. Every year, the band goes for plays nationwide, spreading the hausa culture and of course coming back with money. Although last year none returned, but my guess is they are living large in the cities. This was the only way i could leave maidugiri since my parents were killed by the iron birds which the elders says are different from planes. Morning came and i rushed to Alhaji Keifa's house as that is where we will all meet. They gave me lots of food and more zobo than have ever drank in my life. He wrapped some funny looking cases around me that were cylindrical in shape according to my textbook. He said they were the ingredients for the sparkles, they don't smell nice and i wonder why they are wrapped around me. I dislike it because it makes me look fat. When we were leaving, the entire kids in the village surrounded us. I waved at them and some waved back, others made faces. Jealousy. The elders gave me a sorry look but smiled when they noticed i was looking, either way i don't care am going to the city of light to make sparkles. I and mallam sheu, the band leader arrived alone at a huge building with lots of people, he said we were the opening act, he gave me some simple instructions and handed a device with a button telling me not to push it till i get to a particular statue in the middle. As i made my way to the statue i just couldn't stop thinking about how mum and aba would be proud of seeing me now. I hope these people love it, i know they would. Besides, who doesn't love sparkles? Click. |

orotade:D zero is a bit not stable its out of stock but u can see it for 30,000 while d zero 2 ranges from 34,000 to 37,000 depends on where u look. |

koice: Lets not get carried away... I know u love Samsung and don't appreciate the fact that infinix brings something similar with a lesser price tag. * onscreen feature doesn't count as dats d latest trend htc, lg and even Samsung in deir tabs do. * notification light not necessary even ur so called Samsung doesnt have one..... D fone makes up for it with on screen notification * fast charging is just a tag if u read my review correctly it charges fast but not as fast as the zero(u in a hurry??) * non removable ba3 with a stellar life lasts longer than an s4 and ow much does an s4 ba3 costs again?? U do d searching * heats up only when pushed to d limit with gaming and hd movies and cools off almost immediately... (thanks to kevlar... Which cools off easily. ) * aesthetic??... So u will pick a last gen phone with glass but watch others boast about blazing cpu's i hear ya bro. * camera works well in low light and even when over exposed to light steady hands and auto focus can cope with dah. * multi window is a big gimmick... Even Samsung wants to dump d idea, sony no longer uses it, apple not considering it and we the consumers don't care!!! * lack of OTG is d one thing u mentioned i deem sensible and really lacking on dis fone... Thanks for commenting though... I'll post d latter part of the review so u can help me check wat else is wrong with it. |

Enasdan: The amoled is nt just a bluff... Its actually dere... I compared d screen with an s4 and it is exactly d same bt wen wit an s5 it looks a bit less brighter... As for d gorilla glass 3 its just d same with d zero on my side shaa ooo. Notin dah tough abt it |

I dnt think they can fit that in the slim body.... But they could improve the battery through updates like the htc one |

BATTERY: This is the part that got me frustrated with the zero. Always dying off before i get home, am a bit happy with this one though. It comes with 2,300MAh not too much shey? TEST: I woke up around 8(not exactly 8, had to watch premier league preview and also ben 10 but u shaa get the picture) From 8 - 10,i checked emails, used social medias big three W, T & F battery got to 83percent, browsed linda ikeji, watched watch me whip video by silento twice on youtube and instagrammed till 12 and had 77% left. Listened to music on my way to studio arnd 2 and had 74%,left the phone locked while i got busy came to it arnd 4 still had 74 left. Then played smash hit(i play this game to test a devices gaming prowess and battery capacity, don't play for long if you don't have a power bank. Cause it has white pictures and demands heavily) Played it for 21 mins and got 31% knocked out, instead i played candy crush, listened to music and browsed till i got home around to 10 had 24% Then killed it down to 10 by watching world war z on low brightness. (all games where kept at high res, the zero 2 heated up when playing smash hit but cooled off faster due to kevlar back) POWER MANAGEMENT APP : The zero 2 comes with a battery management application that works to great effect, it has 2 modes. *power saving mode This gives you options to turn off significant stuffs like 3g,display, wifi and even vibration and tactile feedback. *ultra low power management mode This one can make you phone last more than a month, it strips everything away and leaves you with a simple home screen(grey scaled) with four apps to use(messgae, call, clock and contact). I dont think I'll use it though. Overall it lasts a day on moderate usage 7/10. |

Here is a movie @1080p on d zero 2

Phones / Re: Infinix Zero 2 Full Review : The Beast In Kevlar by Ashtonmcqueen(m): 8:11am On Aug 10, 2015 |
DISPLAY : The screen size is if 5.0 inches with full HD amoLED display adorned with corning gorilla glass 3 with a resolution of 1280 * 720 @ 293 ppi. Those aren't figures small folks although its basically the same as the zero but what makes this screen worth dying for is dat amoLED display. It simply blows the zero out of the water. To explain further the zero uses LCD which means its pixels are being lit up by a backlight (just like as if a torch light is at d back if your phone) resulting in super bright screen but extremely dull colours as in lack depth and detail. Probably cuz its TFT. The zero 2 though has its own pixels self illuminate, each pixels power and colour its self separately revealing vivid colours. Thus drains battery. I pick a better screen over battery anyday(am an avid gamer) Its not like the zero ain't good, its not just up to par with what infinix kept here. The icons seem to float and the wallpaper is as slick as paint. Check my first screenshot and see what i mean. The viewing angle depreciates at 145 degrees i.e if looking sideways you won't see colours clearly at that degree. For me 9/10 for the display. |
