No I haven't, so if I have a decision to make, buying a note 10 plus vs A73 tomorrow, because i haven't used it I wouldn't know which one would be better?

Okay so you're not saying it's better? Lmao.
Just for longevity as per software updates abi?
So you'd ignore everything the note 10 plus has over it because of software updates?
How is it smart? You're not even getting better value for money on the A73 compared to a note 10 plus. So how is that a smart investment ?

You're mentioning investments? Is it because you want to resell? Samsung as weak resell value over time. The moment you leave the shop, it loses 10% of it's value lol. Ask people on Nairaland who sell it. Na panic we take dey sell am because if you don't sell it as soon as you get it, you'd sell at a loss. And again, you're getting the very same thing you'd get on a note 10 plus and more.

Go and watch YouTube videos and see.

Updates. 4 android updates over just one for the note 10 ( and that's in mid 2023 that's right, it will not see android 13 before the A73 lmao)

Wireless charging? Yes.

So other than the s-pen and the glass back? What exactly is that thing the note does better than the A73?


Tell me.

Na the ones wey dey press Infinix upandan and old phones dey everly get energy to press matter wey dem no sabi shishi about lmao

Effulgent:
No mind am, the guy just dey argue anyhow since, instead make him research and learn.

The thing dey annoy me as I dey read am sef, but it's Nairaland and it is a free world. Everyone Is entitled to their opinion.

People wey dey use better devices dey talk, Transsion user sef dey chook mouth lmao. Abeg leave me this guy

Lovepeacetrust:
Yes I opened a thread about it, because if we compare some midrangers to old flagships, old flagships are superior.
Okay I haven't used a good midranger from Samsung before, and correction I know what I'm talking about, you're actually the one talking based on feelings and you're not sounding like someone that knows how phones work at all.

The main issue here is even a note 10 plus vs a73.
And your points were android updates and battery over a note 10 plus, we still hear battery.
We are not in 2013, if your phone stops recieving andriod updates it's not the end of the world.
Note 10 plus is superior, who dey argue this kind thing sef, lmao.

Don't bring A51 and S9 plus, if you want to do that open a thread for it, this thread was for the note 10 plus and A73.

P.S I'm still dissapointed

Have you used the A73?

Have you used the note 10 plus?

My guess is no.

So me wey don use both no sabi wetin I dey talk abi?

You guys think I'm saying the a73 is better. I'm not saying that. I'm saying if you were to choose one over the long term, the A73 is better. Shikena.

It's the smarter choice. If I put a casing on the A73 and didn't tell you the series, you'd think it's a flagship. That's how good that phone is. Enter any store and check. No be by blind argument.

fastanddubious:
The Auskyd guy is arguing blindly
Haba na..... U dey compare new Corolla with 3 yrs old Lambo?

Na to jump from thread to thread dey find who talk and who no talk no sabi. No need to engage you bro.

Rest too.

Lovepeacetrust:
I no dey compliment you boss, na the way I dey relate with guys I follow you talk.
Why I no go dey dissapointed, you wey dey sell premium gadgets, wey person think say you go know better, e dey dissapointing abeg.

You opened your own thread to argue this same issue and I now know why you dey talk like this. You haven't used a good Midranger from Samsung before.

Very obvious.


Na why you get mind dey talk all these in support of something you know nothing about. I'd pick an A51 over an s9plus anyday, because I know how they work and how much I can get out of them in a day. You dey talk based on feelings, I'm telling you based on using more than 40 and counting, flagships and midrangers.

No P. Rest bro. Keep your disappointment.

Lovepeacetrust:
Omo the Onyeka guy wey dey sell iphone sabi pass you wey dey sell and use Android, all his points are valid. Honestly chief coming from you, it's dissapointing from where you stand based on your points lol

Baba rest with your chief compliment, and please don't be disappointed. I no be your papa abeg.

Wetin concern me? Lmao

LoL I no go argue with una. I've used all the devices we are talking about here and I know what I'm saying. There's no flagship from s7 to the current S22 ultra wey never pasd thru my hand, but person wey never use one of these flagships know pass me abi? LoL. Make una rest. It's the reason why some of you will buy old phones in the name of flagships and start complaining later say e get issues.

No wahala. I agree for una.

Onyeka90210:
You seriously dey fall my hand
Nawa oh,
Wetin concern ram and speed chai
S22 is faster than 21 because of the newer processor
Note 10 is faster than a73, because of the processor
How didn’t you know this boss, damn
It’s like everytime you talk, you amaze me
At least you don learn some new things
I don give up comprade, before I loose some brain cells trying to explain basic things over and over again
E go be

You dey ask wetin concern ram with speed, yet you say you sabi phone?? Hehehehe

The iphone 12 is faster than the S22 ultra, which uses an older processor and uses lesser RAM, so wetin you dey talk? Hehehe no need to lose brain cells over wetin you no know. Leave the matter like I said before. Android is not your forte. Stick with the iphone

Onyeka90210:
Leave am, make he go sell his flagship, buy midrange
Better downgrade.
At least he has heard from someone that was in the same shoes, I have never seen someone switch from samsung flagship to midrange and enjoy it, except it's s9, and below
Forget how they buff up the midrange, it can never be complete as flagship

No need to argue with you Sha. Na iPhone be your Market. You don't sell android, and I don't think you use them. If you did, na the low budget ones. Shebi you dey complain the other day here?

Leave samsung for we wey Sabi am. Face your iPhone bro. Nothing you Sabi reach there

Onyeka90210:
If OP were concerned about software update he won't be putting up a three year old phone for comparison.
You really fall my hand boss, I think say you be android guy.
You'll pick 8gb ram, fhd, midrange processor, cheap build, no wireless charging or reverse wireless charging, plastic build over 12gb ram, wqhd, flagship processor, Gorilla glass 6, aluminum build, 4k 60fps, both cameras, 45w wireless charging. Nawa oh.
Na your choice still
But op never mentioned anything about software update, the note 10 plus burns out the a73. It's a no brainer.

The s22 ultra starts out at 8gb bro, but it's faster than the s21 ultra with 12gb. But oh well, again, it's about preference. OP might not worry about updates, but I do. The note 10+ isn't even faster than the a73. Check YouTube videos and see.

For me, the A73 is best for longevity, cos the battery in that note 10 is degraded . Can never work as brand new laiye.

CorperKola:
I was thinking like you when i bought my A71. I was and still am dissappointed in samsung midrangers. I envy my bro that bought note 9 instead. Midrange processor n GPU is a No No. Not to mention speed and build quality

A71 and A73 no be the same bro. The difference is mad, the gap too much. I too would have bought a note 9 over the a71.

But this A73 is just too powerful abeg. Ha.

CorperKola:
Tgis isnt a valid point, pple are still using s7, s8 n s9 with no isuues

Hehe s7 to do what? S9 I can still deal. S8? You hardly see an s8 wey complete 100 percent. They always have something wrong with them. I sell phones too abeg. S7 and s8, no try am. There must be tears for you somewhere

Onyeka90210:
Ok boss
So in your words the a73 is better than the note 10 plus because of more support and 120hz finish ?
I know people using s8 without bugs oga.
It'll still get security patches.
Like say everybody wey get note 10 plus for shop go throway am because of software update

For those who are concerned about software updates and getting the newest features, the A73 is the best. It ha better battery. There is literally nothing the note 10 plus will do that the A73 won't do other than Spen support.

Security patches for the s8 are like 3 or 4 times a year. No new features, nothing. And except they changed batteries, it will be useless too.

Onyeka90210:
I only engage people with valid point, how are you going to pick a phone with weaker display, inferior build quality, lower processor, just cause it has 120hz, you funny oh. Person wey dey reason like this dey hard to convince, na why I say make you go buy and enjoy am.
Note has better processor, better display.
Better camera, better build quality, s pen features
Only thing the A series has is battery, thanks to its power efficient processor.

You realize the note 10 is on its last update schedule.. after 13, no more. It's obsolete?

Once that happens, it's only a matter of time before the phone starts having bugs and issues.

Onyeka90210:
Go sell your old flagship buy am na

I actually no need am, but if I were to choose, I'd buy the A73. For someone that sells phones I'm surprised you're saying this.

Well, na Iphones be your market, so I understand.

Onyeka90210:
Old Flagship > New Midranger

It's not better than the A73 bro. No cap on this one.

A73 is getting 4 updates, uses 120htz, and is very very capable. That case of old flagship better than new Midranger doesn't apply to these two. Trust me.

Wetin Come remain?

After the crack, what happens to the waterproof feature ?
And I don't use iphone, I hate it just as you do
Just understand a crack on samsung screen lowers the value to almost half its price..... if the crack doesn't matter much, owner would not want to sell it 330k....

And, that phone is luck, many of it out there especially the mint ones over-heats a lot to rhe extent camera won't open till it cools down coupled with very poor battery life (about 1h 30 minites from 100 - 0). That is exactly what I faced in the the first one (snapdragon version) I was using.....
Just the second one (Exynos) works perfect, doesn't heat up at all no matter the usage and battery life moves from 100 - 0 in 6 hours

Omo guy if you experienced issues with your unit, it's factory related, not that its the way the phone is. Again, true, the cracked screen lowers the price, but not very much. That guy is willing to sell so as to let it go, not because it's cheaper like that

fredrickmyers:
This skull candy true wireless earbuds is for sale...working perfectly with mad sound and long lasting battery..super great sound...price is 15k ...WhatsApp/call 08027213052

Bro try clean the case now. See ear wax everywhere, ayama

alphabbey1:
Hope you know crack on screen means waterproof features is gone for good....
This is my second s21 ultra phone, the first one had a slight not easily seen crack also and trust me, in a matter of months, the screen condition worsen.... same will go for any cracked Samsung screen....

Although S21 ultra is in the same league with iPhone 12 Pro max, I would advice the 11 Pro max guy to exchange with a cracked one without collecting cash with it....

No dey yarn bants. You can have cracks and the screen will be like that till the phone literally packs up. No dey generalize.

And God forbid I exchange a 3 year phone with a 2021 flagship simple because of the fact that it's an iphone. You people give iphone too much hype. God abeg

Rexraph18:
I just got a used 3xl but discovered wifi, bluetooth and hotspot doesn't work.. like doesn't turn on at all.

Anyone know something about this.. maybe possible solution?

Where you buy am? Return am asap

atheistandproud:
Because there's nothing to be proven wrong about. Xiaomi no dey pay anybody Kobo here unlike Transsion pipo.

So long as your opinion is based on facts. People go lock up. Simple life.



E shock you

LoL wait small, the main people never come back from work.

E still dey cook, except as them see this one, them go lock up. Wait for "IVe bEen UsInG the PhOne fOr 5 YeaRs and NothInG hAs haPPEneD tO mInE".

Na normal level for here

Kaiair:
I no go waste time answer you, buy the phone use am first na ur body go tell you

Don't bother bros. I buy stuff from Aliexpress all the time to fix phones. If you np Sabi, ask questions, not this thing you're doing

seunlaww:
Redmi note 10 5G has to be the worst Xiaomi phone I've ever used . Nothing is really outstanding about the device when you use it but it's an interesting device on paper. I even enjoyed my Redmi note 3s pass this one . I'm done with the stupid phone.

Is Redmi note 11 5G any good? Or which other Xiaomi 5G phone would you recommend. I need an honest opinion. Thanks

They are coming for you....

3....

Kaiair:
So phone no fit spoil again? If screen break wetin go happen

Guy, you can order screens from Aliexpress. And they are even cheaper than what you'd get here dead that narrative that you can't get parts anymore.

Na 2005 thinking be that from Bush local people lol

Kaiair:
But the spare parts no dey market or you want make him import am

So when you want to buy phones, you think of parts first? Hehehehe God abeg

queenemelda:
Hmmm, I'm a bit skeptical about used devices. Are they really good? Some of them could come with unknown faults

Not if you're buying from authentic sellers here or physically.

You can walk into verified shops and get a phone, as well as warranty. People like Airegin90, Gchux1,. Fantome, Owodiran1 and a couple of others are well known.

I use a pixel 4XL I got from one of them and I have no regrets.

queenemelda:
Thank you. Is there any new 4 XL in Nigeria? And how much does a brand new pixel 5 cost?

For brand new pixel 4XL in Nigeria, Budget like 40
350k. Lol no jokes.

Pixel 5 should be around 400-430k.

I wouldn't buy brand new if I were you tho. Buy mint US used or London used.

More more value for your money! New is just carton, box and charger, and you'd be spending wayy more for those when you can save 100-200k off a used device.

queenemelda:
Good morning, does anyone know how much either a brand new 3 XL or 4 XL will cost respectively? And where can I get them at a good price?

Please don't buy a new pixel 3xl. It's no longer supported by Google.

4XL is about to receive it's last update, and due to its battery size, I wouldn't recommend it as a main phone. Backup device, maybe.

Go for the pixel 5 or 6 instead.

And again even the one you'll see on eBay and co, you have to be careful. Oyinbo dey sell fufu too oh. Hmmm
