No way for now.

This sh*t is real.

organism3:
pls how long does it take China post registered airmail to ship phone accessories to Nigeria

Once the seller ships, it should get to Nigeria within 15days.

Lovexme:
Xiaomi Y2 launched with SD625, Oreo and MIUI 9.5. Too many Mid-rangers this year alone.

It is the rebranded redmi s2.

bily:
same order

I see the stock xiaomi camera is holding it's own. 2018 is the year of camera upgrade for xiaomi.

gidieberry:
u still don't get the picture i am painting here....
Xiaomi eu rom is different to like say lineage os or resurrection remix... As example redmi 5 plus, i cn run an oreo based rom on it despite d fone still officially on nougat bt the oreo rom can neva b xiaomi based rom such as eu rom, miui pro, multirom, masik ui n d likes... I hope u get ma whole epistle nw

Understood.

damuseron:
Thanks, I run Oreo 8.0 beta nightly on MI6 while MI5 is stable global 7.0.
I admire Xiaomi for bringing great hardware at affordable price having used Samsung S2 to S5 phones but sometimes our Oliver Twist will always ask for more; Glo LTE support, good camera, etc.

I think they have upped their game camera-wise this year tbh..

GrandMufti:

Some people are living in bubbles.

gidieberry:
xiaomi eu roms are based on china dev rom... So na like official rom wif modifications n rectification.... If eu rom for a fone is based on nougat or oreo or android p sef, official china dev rom is on d same android iteration..
No b like miui rom and stock aosp based rom... Sey i no talk too much like dis

Don't you have to flash the ROM through twrp?

Elxandre:
It's not your concern what people should save to buy.

Everyone is old enough to decide what is valuable to him.
A phone is a work tool for many.

Exactly, I absolutely don't see anything wrong if a anyone decides to save money to get a good phone. Don't we all save or still saving for one thing at a point in our lives?

It's like saying because I can't buy a house right now, I shouldn't bother to keep money aside for it. Smh.

macbeyland:
They charged just one out of the 3 phones,. Surprisingly, all 3 were declared by sender as multimedia player, they chose to charge one 4420 naira. They even attached their seal and receipt yu to the package.

This is serious o. It's well.

damuseron:
Usual of Xiaomi, churn out several phones and then have challenges turning out regular updates to all.

So many devices that are not even necessary.

iheanyi4u:
My Mi 5 has been on 8.0 for months now.

He is referring to official miui rom.

I think I agree with MrWhosetheboss, they did it to gain recognition albeit I feel it's a risky way to do so which might eventually backfire.


That being said, the device is a steal for that price if you ignore the notch. lollll.

Dam5reey:
Madam, No vex, I understand what I wrote if you don't..

So I'm as bad as the person who made the law.. ?

Oga you still don't get this? All am saying is your first reaction to the post shouldn't be you don't care except it affects express shipping. That's the point am trying to make since this first exchange.

macbeyland:
I received 3 phones today. One of them was charged by customs 4420 naira

Wow, who did you pay to? Nipost officials?

Dam5reey:
Hmm, Alright I now care about the custom charges..

In case you missed my Point, I was referring to Noobody's express shipping business model..

I later provided alternatives to avoid the charges, Using Jumia or express delivery. When you felt I don't care.. I do price comparison a lot..

Also what's the assurance. Your phone won't be detected during clearance...

In business world anything can happen, Seems someone is concerned about the inflow of phones from overseas.. Imagine someone complaining about Shipping iPhone for 80k

Oh, I forgot to add this regarding students that can't afford express delivery..
You remembered I Posted a comment saying, You shouldn't buy a phone you can't afford to loss..

A student should not Struggle to buy a phone he can't afford as well, I remember when I used to save and struggle to buy phones...

As a student the main Goal is to finish school first.. then you will even use the best phones out there at the right time..

Peace

I was irked about your initial comment to the post when you said you don't care as long as it doesn't affect express shipping.

The only thing you should take away from all this is to show empathy even if a situation doesn't affect you. Peace.

Dam5reey:
When you put in time factor then you know, it's cheaper.. time na money too.. Imagine waiting 1 Month and order was cancelled

China ROM is one of the best MIUI ROM, I bought 1 of recent, It very fast..

back to the Price, You will Order your self at Rate close to 368.. doing addition and subtraction plus Screen protector then you realise it's cheaper to use express delivery...

Noobody must pay me for marketing...

People who use these vendors for alixpress shipping don't order at the rate of 368/$1.

You are missing the point here, it's ok Sha.

iliyande:
Choooiiii, monitoring spirit
Tbh, he is legit..... Cc fibonacci2526

I still get 100GB ooo. I nor buy for now.

Dam5reey:
I'm also affected don't get me wrong, But there is always a way, when rates was no longer affordable we try to find a way to still reduce the cost...

As I mentioned, Jumia offers low price as well..

My first comment was referring to Nobody's shipping method... It's quite affordable when you consider the whole process...

Express shipping is limiting especially if you are buying a xiaomi phone. An average user wants the 'normal' phone (play store, play services etc) at the first boot. Not everyone is comfortable with the Chinese rom/version which is what you would get if you are using express.


The whole process is affordable because you CAN afford it. All due respect to the students on this thread, I know what that 3-4k difference can do for most of them and even some people that are not students. It's a big deal and rightly so.

Dam5reey:
Then buy from Jumia and save the stress or use the extra money you can't afford to settle customs..

That's not the point here, you absolutely showed no empathy to those that might suffer from this new directive. You can afford express, great? There are still some people that are still saving as little as 50-60k to buy their phones. What if it now affects express, would you be concerned then?

Nigerians Sha, anything wey nor affect us directly nor concern us.

Dam5reey:
Don't care as long as it doesn't affect express delivery..

Chai, you wicked o. What about those that can't afford express delivery?

GrandMufti:
Exactly launching of any successor should be towards the year ending

They are drunk.

GrandMufti:
Maybe na redmi 6a then redmi 6 = sd636 and redmi 6 plus = sd710

lolllll, u wan run them down. Maybe na the mi note 4 go use that sd710.

There is no need for similarly priced devices with similar specs tbh. The redmi 5 is barely 6 months old and Dem wan launch the successor. SMH.

GrandMufti:
For real?

One of the phones in the series would use sd625 according to the rumors. Make we dey watch.

GrandMufti:
Dem wan saturate the market so that other oems no go see way

Another sd625 incoming, people go just dey confused.

lilmonarch:
by downloading the developers rom and updating through the updater abi?

Yup but you will lose all your data, back up.

lilmonarch:
can i port to developers rom from global with my bootloader still locked?

Yup.

GrandMufti:

It is becoming so ridiculous.

Jomafuvwe:
please guys, does redmi 5 plus support glo 4g lte network?

Nope.

seyema:
Wow! Even if it's fastboot?

Fastboot would wipe all.

Redmi 6 series to launch on June 12. Na wa oooo.
