Abduletudaye:
Thanks bro. So how do i browse on this device

You can try the Mtn Bblited, no imei tweaking involved. Make sure the S3 is rooted though.

Checked out how to proceed here:

bobo65:
it can be done. but quite expensive

contact unlimited on nl

or reach ikeja
its been done with an expensive tool called octopus box

Wrong. Octopus box only gives the user the impression that the Imei tweak is successful but upon reboot, everything will invariably revert to it's previous stance.

Bottom line: Glo Bis can't be used on anything with a Exynos/Snapdragon chip.

PresidentT:
Any list without Xperia Z3 is incomplete.

Sorry, but the overhyped Z3 didn't and couldn't make the cut. Apparently, it isn't as powerful as you think!

Abduletudaye:
Hey all, please i need help on how to change the imei of my samsung s3 so i could use the glo subscription on it...please help.

It can't be done. It's not a Mediatek device.

Judeoxide:
Were is sonny experia z3 this list is just not complete without that phone, and watin make S5 powerful

Dude, the list was compiled by AnTuTu experts based on consistent benchmark scores posted by each smartphone after rigorous round of live tests, okay?

The S5 is a beast, and deserved to make the list. When a device is running a Snapdragon 801 chipset, with Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.5ghz, assisted by a capable adreno 330, then it would be a grave mistake to underestimate it's capabilities. Even a year old, the S5 still got it. In fact, 2 months ago, the S5 was sitting pretty high at the 4th position but was unfortunately relegated to 9th by the team of new Chinese made Super Smartphones.

Or simply say you stole the phone from someone and couldn't get past the locked screen. Your story get k-leg.

xwebyna:
You are completely wrong, man.

Obviously, you're clueless, no offense.

P8000 is obviously a move to correct the optimization and technical issues of the P7000, but then, that's what OTA updates are for. I guess, Elephone don't do updates. Sucks!

The last part of your unedited copy and paste is wrong. Successfully rooting an mtk device with a Kingroot app is not enough.

You need to install the standard SuperUser zip from Chainfire, unzip, install and update the binaries when prompted, update it to the latest version via Playstore, then delete the Kinguser permanently.

Fail to do this, any top notch antivirus app like Avast will always flag the Kinguser as a virus.

tim1256:
Please help me out, I want to update my Bold 6 OS.

I don't think Bold 6 stock 7.0 OS is updatable, but hey, you can always find out via BDS.

olak4gold:
Please how can I play online video on my hot note pro. adobe flash player couldn't work. it's not applicable to infinix hot note pro. could anyone suggest another application

Adobe Flash Player had since stop working on the AOS, but there's a work around. Install the latest UC browser from playstore, then you can play any flash encoded online video you want. It's AFP supported.

Bro there are still chunks of features phones in the market. Your everyday Nokia torch is one of them. Samsung and Apple care less about Nigeria not completely Internet connected. What's their business with NCC and it working here in 2016?

Check out the listed service providers mentioned, which is from Africa there? None right, they care about advanced countries where Internet problem is a thing of the past.

For a moment there, I thought it was an
SD card issue, my brain somehow was processing an E-Sim as an E-SD card, but
now that I read the topic again, I was
snapped back into reality.

It's quite a good development.

oyewolestephen:
for those of u thinking it will require internet connection the answer is NO.the sim will still be inside just like internal memory but the difference is that u can use the inbuilt sim for different network provider

Can you expantiate further on the bold, please?

Good development.

ollah1:
This tech wouldn't work on feature phones. It's gonna be for smartphones and these companies believe your smartphones should always be connected to the Internet.

Na we dey count Internet as issue. So yes, I believe it's gonna be an Internet thing

All the new generation phoning devices we make use of today are collectively known as Smart phones. I don't know what you meant by feature phone.

On the E-sim issue, does an average Nigerian stay connected to the internet always? I don't think so. The unfair data plan packages prevalent in this country made it impossible.

This E-sim thing is a bad idea right now for the Nigerian market, till the NCC and the various telecommunication giants get things right.

Craven:
Bratking.

I do not type 'crap'. I stopped reading your reply when I saw that word. I have no respect for people who feel the need to put down someone else's opinion just to make theirs feel superior. And I do not engage in arguments with arrogant people.

What I have written is something I came across by reading. And I am not moving away from my it.

Well, what you read is wrong. I apologize if I sounded a bit arrogant, it wasn't intentional, believe me. My usage of the term 'crap' in my earlier post wasn't intended to be misconstrued as an insult. It was a bit forceful, yes, but I meant no disrespect.

Craven:
The reason manufacturers make batteries non-removable is because they intend for you not to remove your batteries. It is common for phone users to take out their phone batteries whenever the phone has a problem, but phone manufacturers never recommended that as a solution. Removing your batteries as you wish only succeeds in corrupting the internal hardware of your phone.

Actually, that is not true. It's a known fact that Slim phones of metal premium body and glass finish are the current rave of the moment. But for a phone to achieve that particularly physical quality, certain sacrifices and cuts has to be made real estate wise. It requires molding the frame as one slim piece, instead of the normal 2, shrinking the battery size and sealing it up permanently. It's not deliberate, rather, a necessity.

Removing the battery from a phone any time you like has no effect on the hardware whatsoever, for the simple fact that the hardware and the battery compartment are separated by a tough plastic or alloy or both, depending on the OEM. Also there is something known as 'hard reset' that would require the user to remove the battery in order to correct or rectify some technical issues from software or hardware.

I don't know where you got such ideas, but i'll have you know right now, that you were dead wrong.

Craven:
Phones with non-removable batteries require power packs to keep them charged. And it's not a bad idea. Removing your low battery and replacing it with a charged one isn't advisable.

What?? Did you actually typed this crap?? What the hell?? Wow, swapping your low battery for a new one kills the hardware?? So tell me the difference of that and charging it straight from the port, or will doing that kill the hardware as well?? You seem to have forgotten that at some point in time, that people with non-replaceable battery devices will have their old battery swapped for a new one by a 3rd party. it's inevitable.

Craven:
Non-removable batteries prevent dust from getting into the internal parts of your phone since you cannot open the phone to access it. And they have a longer lifetime than removable batteries.

Another invalid postulation. My S5 is dust and water resistant certified and it has a removable battery. Listen, bro, any phone that wasn't fully fortified against water and tiny dust particles, will be susceptible to both. It doesn't have anything to do with having a phone with removable or non-removable battery. In fact, in retrospect, a phone with a removable battery has a slight advantage, because the user can easily gain access to the inside without having to worry about damaging the hardware, then he/she can proceed to wipe all the dust away. Not so much with the non-removable phone cuz of it's inflexible nature.

Craven:
The non-removable battery is actually a brilliant development. The only reason you are experiencing problems with your phone might be because you bought a defected phone. And there is also the issue of the brand; Infinix. Cheap phones aren't always durable. Because they are cheap, their features, specifications, and the parts used in building them will also come cheap. If you aren't willing to spend more on a phone, then you should be ready to face problems with it.

No, it isn't. Non-removable battery on phones nowadays is a sellout. Android phones are abandoning the android way for Apple's, just to stay competitive. Else, why would Samsung launch a phone so slim that it's commonly dubbed in some circles as 'Samsung iPhone' (S6). There is a saying that goes thus: If something ain't broken then don't fix it'.

Conclusion: If care is not taken, android platform OEM gradual adoption of non-removable battery policy could ultimately prove to be their respective downfall, cuz frankly speaking, Apple's iPhone has had quite a head start on them at this particular department, and we all know it's rare to beat a pro as his own game.

sorextee:
Bb still remains my favorite others will always be secondary. its all about choice... take Samsung for instance, I even prefer the s4, to the s6....

Every sensible person hates the S6. I use S5 and even if I want to upgrade, the S6 will be the last route I'd undertake.

Mekurexx:
Im running stock lollipop 5.0.1 for S4 from Serbia region i think. Anf its very smooth

The S4 lollipop update bugs are basically okay compared to what one gets on the S5. I use S5 btw.

sorextee:
The bbz30 is the best bb10 device I've used so far.. it's even my primary phone, in terms of my emails, and other private data, while the overhyped ifone 6plus is my secondary.. in my own case, the battery is superb. Are u using the original?

I don't know how someone in his right mind can relegate an iPhone 6 plus (5.5 inch screen, FHD, superior features and the latest iOS) to a secondary status, for a dated Z30 that is powered by an outdated chipset, processor and gpu, not half as efficient as the Apple's flagship, or as large, screen wise. Mind boggling to say the least!

Going through this thread, I had to shake my head several times at some of the ignominious comments littering the previous page. Yuck!

The S6 has a staggering QHD screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and 577PPI (an overkill since a standard FHD is more than adequate for a 5.1 inch screen) It goes without saying that a QHD display with high pixel density on a 5.1 inch screen is gonna do quite a number on the battery, the life span will invariably shorten, especially when the battery doesn't have enough juice (2500mAh) to weather the storm. It gets even worse when the battery is non-removable and lithiuim.

I guess Sammy really needed the bragging rights that comes with having a super slim flagship pretty badly, hmm.

MrFord1:
I was not of that opinion. My opinion was of origin. Even bigger names in the mobile phone industry have some form of Chinese connection. And Infinix has a snapdragon phone at least.

Every OEM out there have a chinese connection, even Apple, because of the cheap labour market involved.

Infinix's origin was formulated in a downtown skyscraper in Hong Kong, not France. There were French people involved, yes, but ultimately, the majority shareholders (the chinese) make the important decisions for the company. So in all ramifications, Infinix Mobility is a Chinese Smart phone maker with a French connection. And yes, they did assemble an entry level snapdragon device once but that was then.

MrFord1:
Designed in France, made in China. Infinix Race Max Q has a Snapdragon chipset. You can Google it.

One moment, you were of the opinion that Infinix Mobility doesn't have any Chinese connection whatsoever, the next, you've changed your tune that it's indeed a Chinese company. Now, you're basing the credibility of your ignominious postulations on an antiquated entry level device that had ushered in the present crop of mid rangers - Infinix Hot note Infinix Zero, Infinix Zero 2, et al?? That's sad bro. A lesser man would have used the word 'confused' and 'desperate' to describe your present predicament.

Btw X530 is powered by Snapdragon 210, an entry level (lowest level) 32bit chipset which is way cheaper than the 64bit variant S410. Mid range models like S615 and S600 were simply too expensive for infinix mobility to try on their newer generation of cheap smart phones, hence, they had to adopt the inferior but much cheaper Mediatek, instead.

Last time I checked, Z10 sells for 35k in phone outlets in Awka. It's a fixed price, non negotiable. Should sell for even less at Onitsha.

MrFord1:
Wrong info. Infinix has snapdragon phones. Infinix is not of Chinese origin but of French origin. It was formally known as Sagem.

Such an irony. Your post is riddled with unmitigated fallacies, dude, and here's why:

The Infinix Mobility Limited, the makers of the Infinix phones is a joint venture company between minority partner, Mobiwire (formerly Sagem wireless) and the majority partner, Earning way (Chinese company) in Hong Kong. So, while the infinix phones might have a touch of both France and China, the Infinix as a company is founded in Hong kong. The phone's outward appearance is designed in France and the hardware assembled in China. Thus, in all effects, Infinix is more of a Chinese phone than French.

Infinix don't make their own components btw, they buy everything and assemble them, the end product: the Infinix range of phones.

Infinix mobility don't equip their devices with the Snapdragon chipset, cos they would file for bankruptcy if they do. A Snapdragon chipset is very expensive, especially for a new phone maker that has to buy every component that it needs to successfully assemble a new phone.

Their flagship Zero 2 is an average spec mid ranger operating a 32bit and bit outdated mtk MT6592 chipset. I think that said it all.

Don't get it twisted.

Craven:
No, specifications differ also. The A8 has a better primary camera, better screen resolution and pixel density, more camera features. Then there's the processor and chip. The A8 allows for expandable memory of 128GB, the A7 on the other hand stops at 64GB. The A8 comes with Bluetooth 4.1, the A7, 4.0. And lastly, while the Galaxy A8 has a fingerprint censor, the Galaxy A7 does not. So no, specifications aren't all that identical.

I said "Pretty much", remember? More identical in things that mattered than things that don't.

The issue of better resolution is debatable. On paper, A8 has better resolutions, but in reality A7 has sharper display with deeper colors. Why is this, you may ask? it's pretty simple: A7 has a smaller screen of 5.5 with a pixel per inch density of 401 compared with 577 ppi of the A8 with a bigger screen of 5.7. This may sound impressive, but the thing is, the video formats that could actually maximize the true power of A8's Quad HD is extremely rare to the point of non-existence, thus, negating it's seeming advantage. Make no mistakes, it's something for the future, but for now as far as the naked eyes can fathom, screen display of both are almost identical in colors, with the smaller screen of the A7 appearing slightly sharper overall.

Camera wise, well, it's difficult to call, but I'll have to give it to the A8 because of the more mega pixel, resolution and versatility. It's more pimped up.

NetBizguy:
How Much is Original New BlackBerry Z10

30-35k depending on your location.

Elxandre:
This phone is pretty much like an A7 anyways

It is A7 with a bigger screen, better battery life optimization and slimmer body. Their respective specs are pretty much identical.

Elxandre:
I factored in other things aside raw speed.
Faster memory speed, faster ram speed, 64 bit , better power management, direct x 11 resulting to better graphics on newer games, a newer version of open CL etc.
And let's not pretend the GPU doesn't really matter, it matters alot.
I've seen slower PC hardwares with better GPU running games better than faster ones with inferior GPU

Again, lemme clear up some things. S801 is faster, better and more power efficient than S615 chipset will ever be.

Okay, lemme put it this way: a phone with octacore S615 (mid range) with A15 & A7 cortez processors clocked at 2.3ghz vs a quadcore S801 (high end) with Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.5ghz, both operating on 2gb ram, which one between the 2 do you think will be able to have better ram optimization?? The answer is pretty clear, isn't it?

A Gpu of a phone is as good as the chipset and processors powering it. Adreno 330 is inferior to the 405 when it comes to direct head to head but with a superior chipset and processors backing it up, the 405 doesn't stand any chance, and thus, the concluding result will be S5 handling intense object oriented graphic programs like Real Racing 3 and Alphalt 8 better than the A8 overall.

Again, I reiterate that comparing a mid ranger with an high ender is absurd.
