OP I guess your techno phone has not had any issue before.

I got a techno phone same day with my colleague, in 2months mine crashed

I took it to Carl care and guess what, they couldn't repair or replace it!

To make matters worse, my colleague s phone should also, and their customer care was so annoying that he angrily left the phone their

I add to go back to my Lenovo, I bought as far back as 2012 ( I've never had an issue with the phone, I just felt like upgrading)

I've used a Meizu and recently a Xiaomi afterwards

Guess what, I've NEVER had any issue

Until they resolve repair issues, the presence of their service center in Nigeria is useless!

Fyi: Xiaomi is planning to enter the African market by 2016

So my dear, I love competition, Techno should better brace up, or they would be pushed further down.

Had any one noticed, that people now prefer Infinix?

funkdr:
the phone is 43k, then #2500 as delivery fee, total #45500.

The prices you guys quote for these phones can be annoying at times

We can direct people to places where they will get this phones by at least 10k cheaper and it will delivered to their door step, as we don't want to spoil your business, please be considerate in you pricing, 5k profit is okay now

sigmundfreud:
Great specs! The shiny back cover kinda makes it look cheap...would have considered it if not for the mediatek processor.
Good at the price too.

Media tek processor?

Are you aware this is the first mediatek processor Xiaomi is using in a long while?

They be been using only Qualcomm's Snapdragon

For them to use Helio x10, you should know why

The Antutu score is enough to attest to its efficacy

donhils:

How's the plastic on the back of.the device? Like the one you find on Lumia phones or glossy(shiny) plastic as you find in Samsung phones?

Not as wacky as the one on cheap Lymua devices, it has a very smooth feel, it can't easily slip from your hand though and its not ain't like the one in Samsung devices, it's just on its own

The shiny back in the picture is the silicon casing I used, which is very very affordable

You can actually change the color of the plastic at the back at a very very cheap price too!

I just ordered for a gold casing and a blue and pink plastic back!

kaydguru:


I was on 5.9.18 before, and the battery life was worse.

The update you downloaded is it the stock ROM or the multi language ROM from XIAOMI. EU?

I was initially on the stock ROM, released by MIUI.com n their forum and the battery was wacky and to many Chinese, as soon as aieromon posted the link for the multi language ROM, I changed mine ( thanks to glo, I d able to do it in 2 hours!)

After downloading the multi language ROM, the battery improved greatly

Secondly it is common knowledge that some people don't want to hear the word 'flash'

Well, FYI, I did didn't flash or root my phone to download the multi language ROM

I just used the updater app on the phone, by tapping the the dots above it (...), and choose the file I've already renamed as directed

For people who are sceptic, this phone is very great, especially it's speed

The in built browser ( baidu) is way faster than Uc Browser and opera combined. ( I have both browsers, but I don't use them now)

The picture quality is way better than its specs (better than Meizu's M2 note, which have same spec with it)

Is it the themes or the baidu music player, where you can easily stream and download western songs without going through the browser? By now I think I've listen to almost all the songs one direction would have sang as I continuously stream their songs,
The beauty of it is that you can see the lyrics and sing along with them. Who can beat that on a stock/in built music player?

I've been as astute Meizu fan apart from a few features ,(that are negligible) Redmi is great

I would recommend it for any one

Fyi, Google ' compare Redmi note 2 and Samsung Galaxy s5' and you would never advise any one to buy s5 again!

Check out old posts on this thread

Especially from aeriomon

I updated mine from a link he shared earlier

Now am using MIUI V7 5.9.18 Multi language rom from XIAOMI.EU

alternatively, if you want the official rom, visit MIUI forum for your device, Google can easily take you there

Battery life improve greatly on MIUI 7

Even at that the battery life isn't as good as Meizu's, but you just have to love miui

donhils:

When it comes to looks and battery life, which one is better?

Looks, definitely Xiaomi

Battery life: Definitely Meizu, you can play games for hours with that phone

Goahead:
Forget about the clocked speed, MT6795 Helio X10 is of three different versions, Xiaomi redmi note 2 is probably using the cheaper version that smokes battery like chimney.
In other hand Meizu m2 note with its 1.3ghz processor couple with IGZO capacitive screen is crispy and battery friendly, hence the 9.5 it scored on Phonearena battery test.
An average user will not even notice the speed difference on the both devices.

I have the 2 phones right before me as I am typing this

Trust me, personally, its difficult to decide, especially when it comes to performance

Amnstillbtrying to figure which is better

Dialer

About phone

Here is what the settings looks like

Geeweeny:
how much does the phone cost and where u got it from?

Like I promised, here is a prove it supports SD card

nellaluv:
How much is the phone ooooo. How many times you want make dem ask you before u answer. Shakara oloje.

I got mine for around $179 direct from China

Although I learnt its cheaper now, as my price was pre-order price

There are guys on NL who I've seen advertise the phone

Just search for Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 on NL, look for a trusted seller and deal through him, if you so desire

pat077:
just checked the spec on gsm arena. It was not mention if the international version support sd card or not.

Am actually replying you using the phone.

Would snap the back showing the sim and sd card space

pat077:
does it support external sd card?

Yes it does

TDD VERSION - 16G

CHINA VERSION - 32G

The home screen is like every typical home screen for Android 5, the absence of a special drawer for apps is very noticeable.

As with all Android 5 phones, the apps are arranged on the home screen

New downloaded apps just flow to the next screen

In addition, you can arrange all your desired app in one folder

In this case apps like calculator, mail, calendar, clock etc has been pre-arranged under tools (see pictures)

You can expand and rearrange as you so desire

The phone is very slim and the white back is not bad at all

Unlike Meizu M2 note, its not unibody as the battery is removable

The phone comes in a compact renewable pack, with only charger and manual (in Chinese). I got a screen protector courtesy of my supplier, however I didn't use it as i already have a Tempered glass for it!

Picture

The phone has 2 versions

The China/GSM version
and

The International/3G version

The only difference is that the China version supports only 3G bands peculiar to China alone

While the International version supports the regular WCDMA 2100 and other 3G bands

The China version is cheaper by almost USD30


However claim that the China version actually supports International 3G bands, they have even attached screen shots to confirm their postulation

In as much as the Chinese version is cheaper and purportedly supports International 3G bands, I would advise anyone going for the phone to go for the TDD/LTE version

BTW: Both sims as well as both version support 4G

Yesterday, my highly anticipated phone was delivered to me, I couldn't wait to tear it to bits.

The Anambra state police command has arrested one Uchenna Okoye for pouring hot oil on his wife Njideka (pictured above) during an argument at their home. When interrogated, the father of 3 said he got into an argument with his wife after he returned from work last week Tuesday and there was no food for him to eat.

He said he got angry when she told him she'd sent someone to go buy foodstuff for her to make the food as he'd repeatedly warned her not to send people to get their food stuff. As they argued, he poured hot oil on her.

A remorseful Mr Okoye has since pleaded for forgiveness from his wife and the police. He is however still being detained at the Central Police station in Awka, the Anambra state capital.

OP

Anambra or Abia?

The body says Anambra, your title says Abia

Please reconfirm and correct

Wow!

I won't try it even if am told I can!

Hope this will not encourage the ladies to increase the size of their already over sized ear rings

Just saying

What are you hubbies?

Start from there

Jenny1010:

Guys are known to be open-minded and don't hesitate to give a simple, straight and direct answer to questions.. But, I still wonder why they go totally blank and sometimes furious when a girl ask them this one simple questions.


1. How much do you collect as salary every month?

Why should you ask me?

What do you want?

My person or my money?

When we ask for your age or if you are a virgin, u bounce us

As much as I dont actually care about a lady's age or her v status (trust me it doesn't affect their attitude in anyway, some young virgins have very very bad attitude)

I think you should not ask that question, unless its time for marriage i.e after he proposes

Harsh times await this country as we have been kicked out of the Bond Index making it difficult to maintain government liquidity due to the capital controls by Emefiele and no Finance Minister to lay a solid fiscal policy. I fear about social unrest.

Pray for Nigeria.

Since we have been there what did we benefit?

Abegi, all this people just want us to devalue our naira. They should just let us be
After all did we beg them to add us in the first place?

When we settle, they will readd us

How many times did I call u

I will still keep asking you only one question

You still have not seen just one good virtue in Buhari

Or you just take pleasure in wasting you time and resources in ridiculing the young man?

I could have suggested someone or people sponsor your post, but I know better

Am not saying Buhari is performing upto expectation (as I really don't send), am just asking if everything you be researched or known about Buhari is just negative things

If you have not seen any good at all, then Barcanista, u need to check your sense of judgement

#ManKnowThyself

yanabasee:
This Buhari is a big SCAM!!!!

After reading all the things written above, this is all you could say?

Smh for you

He has to wake up and finish the statement, wait till I confirm the location, save it in a safe location then I will now give him the permission to sleep or die, anyone he wishes

Grand pa oooo, abeg him don enjoy life joor
