How many phones them wan launch this year na?

We may see Redmi Note 10 or Redmi 10 Plus/pro before 2020 at this rate

Mi max 3, mi A2, mi note 4 and probably a new series go soon join. They seem to be launching phones twice in a month.

alosbaba007:
Thanks I saw earlier u were talking abt meizu m6. Is d camera top notch. Front and back?

For $120, the camera is good.

saintkenny:
Vivo nex was all the sensation last week. Oppo find X even seen more tempting this week. It's a notchless screen revolution and I can't wait to see how my Xiaomi would key-in. I'm not really fascinated by the slide up front facing camera though but let's see where the large screen frenzy take us next year.

I believe that technology is advancing greatly and 2019 might be the year we see full bezelless displays without the mechanical or moving parts found in the oppo find x and Vivo nex respectively. The R& dept of some major OEMs would surely be hard at work to make it work. The race is on to find the first OEM that would achieve this feat.

alosbaba007:
Good morning everyone, please which Xiaomi fone can be used for everyday camera activity, d person is a cheff and needs a good fone for snapping food and other delicacies on a daily basis.

Thanks

Mi note 3, mi mix 2s.

Can also look at the mi 6x too.

Another day another imminent launch and the famous sd625 again.. This is becoming a joke. Basically a redmi 5 plus with dual real cameras and 19:9 ratio.

Hello, House
I'm new to this aliexpress thingy, abeg, how do one identify a clone to real one the site, and how long does it takes for the shipment to arrive Lagos, plus can i pay for item exceeding $100 with gtbank naira mastercard on aliexpress....

thanks ya'll for your response

What products are you talking about exactly? Either way read reviews before making your purchase from any store as you would be well informed thereafter.

Shipment delivery depends on the carrier you are using, whatever you do as a newbie avoid China small packet as you won't be able to track it down to Nigeria, use tracked carriers like AES, China registered airmail, Postnetherland etc. Usually takes within 4weeks or less if you are lucky.

Yes GTB now allows up to $1000 per month but just hope that your card won't be subject to appeal by alixpress unless your alixpress account is an old one.

Wow, I didn't read this until now. Am also having the same challenge here as I double paid him and have not been refunded. Will see how it pans out.

Got my refund.

Anowax:
My 'despatched' date is 12th June

Will definitely receive it before the weekend.

Anowax:
Mine was ordered on 2nd June and it's still on the 'Despatched to Overseas' stage. Seems we'd be having to wait a lil bit longer.

When was it despatched over seas? I think it takes 7-10days after despatched to overseas these days. Shipping and delivery was faster 2 weeks ago but it seems to have petered a bit.

GrandMufti:
Why would they derive joy in jeopardizing their business?

I tire ooo, we really should see beyond our frustration of not getting our items on time or never.

james17:
I just wonder what joy Singapore post derives in holding onto items or say misplacing them, e no make sense see people jst dey complain upandan

This your statement is wrong. Aren't they into business of profit making, why would they want to suffer loss?

ganie:
40-45k sir.

Redmi 5 is what you need. A mini beast of a device.,excellent battery life for a 3300mah. If possible add like 2-3k more to get the 3/32 variant.

Opistorincos:
Is your anker a fast charger? If yes, kindly bless me with link

Sorry it's aukey charger and it's on its way to naija. Reviews are very good though.

ganie:
Please can you help me with how the whole process(es) went,i intend buying a mid range xiaomi phone which i dont really know much about.

What is your budget?

gidieberry:
boring look ke... this one just need a fone to satisfy her bac internet and social media needs n wants... i wan save her from d clutches of dis our local android village champions turn oem/odm

Let her go for the m6 note.

Gptech:
Run ooo.

For me, stock Android isn't that bad ooo. Had a very bad experience with it when I used that useless elephone p9000 with terrible optimization, yes it might lack so many features you would find in a skinned UI but for smoother performance no skin comes close to it.

Gptech:
If you are after camera, Mi A1 , more trendy look Meizu m6s. But why considering stock Android for a lady sef? Don't think she'll appreciate the boring looks.

*Strolls by*

gidieberry:
reason i pit meizu m6s against mi a1 are: 1) option to use stock android navbar as against mback alone on m6note 2) dt exynos soc is bangale 3) na female wan use am and dt m6s dey eye catching..
i jus wan sabi about flyme ram management jare and i bliv dt m6s camera go good cauz meizu mid range fones av nice camera output

I really dunno if the m6s camera is better than the m6 note as them really try for that phone, and the mback button isn't bad once you are used to it (the m6 note also have the navigation button but I disabled it as it looked fat and ugly ).

Kaydeexotic:
.yeah it depends on the network mode and if the screen is on...the fast charging thing won't work...just lock the screen and see amelika wonder..

This one funny oo, will test mine with Anker charger when it lands.

CassieV:
Got my device today thanks to Holuwaxheun, he was very patient with my continuous and persistent questions.
This is my first xiaomi device and I thought I should use this Redmi 5 plus to test the waters.. It's the 4gb Ram 64gb Rom variant and I'm loving it so far.
The package was shipped on 2nd June and arrived Nigeria last week on the 13th of June but I couldn't pick it up then because of the public holidays. I paid #1,200 at the office before collection.

PS: When I powered the device, it showed "device unlocked" briefly before booting, what does that mean please?

Looks like you bought the Chinese version and the seller unlocked your BL to flash the global rom. Everything is ok. Congrats on your new device.

gidieberry:
how is flymeOS ram management and muktitasking as compared to default miui ram management n optimization without d usual tricks

cc: fibonacci2526 Gptech

besides meizu m6s vs xiaomi mi a1 ...wic u go like go for

Flyme os is lighter than MIUI. Doesn't have many features but just about get it right with what it currently does. You should be pitting the mi a1 against the meizu m6 note, bar the stock Android the meizu m6 note wins for me.

Gptech:
Stop getting confused, we are better here than Gsmarena on this issue. Same Gsmarena that almost discourage people from getting the Redmi note 4 last year, theirs too over 3 hours to fully charge . The Redmi note 5 (China/ AI) is same with the Redmi note 5 pro (India) save from the selfie camera and LTE bands. The Redmi 5 plus (China) is same as the Redmi note 5 (India). Most of us buy our phones from AliExpress and other Chinese sites, though some patronise American sites too. If you want to check Gsmarena for specs, be concerned about the Chinese versions because that's what you can lay your hands on. So let me speak in Chinese, the Redmi note 5 has Snapdragon 636 and is easily identified by it's dual rear camera as against the Snapdragon 625 and single rear camera of the Redmi 5 plus.

You get time ooo, we don explain but he is still going on and on. What do you know. lolll.

oxygenlove:
note 5 is sd625 abeg

Oga abeg I nor get strength to argue with you, believe whatever you will.

Harryfrosh:
can you kindly tell me what is wrong with the mi max 2.....because that's what I ordered for and the phone should be here this weekend or next week....but with this comment....I'm kinda feeling like I've made a mistake going for the mi max 2

No please, wanted to say mi max and the not the mi max 2.

Gptech:
Na Mi Max he buy jare .

Yes, na error. Wanted to write mi max. lolll

bobo65:
Whatsapp me
Next week I shouldn't be with this phone

Bobo you sef, you wan buy xiaomi for the first time you go buy mi max 2. You for buy redmi note 5 na.

priceaction:
why your highlighted redmi 5 plus has price difference? Are they not same thing? can u expatiate

One is for express shipping and the other is for alixpress shipping.

oxygenlove:

The guy referred to redmi 5 plus and note 5 , I think you should go back and re-read.

Lolll, you mean the charging time is dependent on the network mode? Be serious joor.


Well mine is on the way sha, got it for #102500 on Amazon usa.

OP why not use cpu-z to confirm if your phone is fake or not, you can also use antutu benchmark app to see if your device is fake or not. So many people have told you the truth already, Samsung phones aren't made in Vietnam only.

kekilika:
Ma, Their confusion is arising from the different naming in China and India
Redmi 5 Plus (China) = Redmi Note 5 (India)
Redmi Note 5 (China) = Redmi Note 5 Pro (India)

Same thing with this phone Redmi Note 5A Prime = Redmi Y1

For this group, the Chinese variant naming is what is used. So how do we educate them, because I seen it repeatedly happening that newbies asked or get confused with namings in China and India.

They should simply go with the china iterations. Gsmarena sef dey cause confusion.
