Thank you Gptech.....always coming tru.....they are halloweening their prices

Banggood especially can attract you with huge price slash, by the time you place the order, e go clr for ur eyes say na like over a month wait u go do, possible reason behind this fit b maybe dem nr even get the item in stock.

swagkingcole:
So you're telling me now that the midrange RN5 is unworthy of the SD660?

Yes it's not, otherwise who do you think will go for the Mi note 3 for such a hefty price? Unless you want them to price the Redmi note 5 above $300, that is never going to happen.

Cassie74:
No answers.....Nobody?

Banggood, Gearbest, Dealsmachine, Geekbuying, are all good, but for me Aliexpress is better. Phones especially are cheaper in Aliexpress, plus better customer service, faster shipping mostly, and easier/better communication with seller.

Hello NLanders, its not upto 4months i bought my Tecno Camon CX and i just noticed i can't do any screenshot both by using my three fingers and using the side buttons. Please anyone who can help me with solutions. Thanks ma people.

Just reboot your phone and try again, if it refuses to work, backup your important files in a memory card, and do a factory reset.

swagkingcole:
Sd660 is midrange also
and it would not be so bad to see it on the redmi note 5
Remember the redmi note 3 runs with sd650.

Xiaomi doesn't think so, the S660 is more than a midrange, very close to the S820 and is 'flagship worthy'.

fibonacci2526:
On top how much nau?

Hehehehe, naim go b another version of Mi 5x, maybe with 'infinity display' .

Leeco is usually stingy with juice jor.

But the price makes many especially those not in Nigeria to easily ignore that .

swagkingcole:
Lol
Well, The leak on Weibo and other sites outlines dual camera, sd660 and 18:9 screen
So i'm saying Amen along with it.

We always like to say amen too but u kw whr the Mi 6 plus hide put since? Na only leaks we take see am.

Protein0:
How I wish they can just add band 28,, fast charge and upgrade the camera of note 4 small, in a different design then name it note 5. Note 4 has specs of a midrange device stretched already, imo.

Of course, they'll likely improve the camera abit, the Redmi Note 4 is so solid that making any form of improvement might rub off on some other offerings, they are trying to operate on monopoly. This is where we need competition, chai, LEeco, where art thou?

swagkingcole:
Lol Calm
Its Sd660.

Blike Xioami never take ur expectations tear ground before .

fibonacci2526:
How?

Highest, snapdragon 630, then 3950 mah battery, hehehehe

swagkingcole:
Typical Tecno move
Just update the OS, change the design a bit and rebrand it as a new one.

Very funny, like say na must to change name .

fibonacci2526:
Na 2k resolution na,No?

Check again, the pro version is actually Amoled 18:9 screen with stretched out 1080p display, weird.

fibonacci2526:
I really hope lei jun has got a real look at the Huawei mate 10 cos that's how to do a flagship imo. Enough of this 1080p on LCD as that's is so 2014.

You are right, let's just hope they make the switch. But the Huawei mate 10 pro is still 1080p, on top an Amoled screen that looks more like a disaster in sharpness . Looks ironically that the mate 10 should have been called the pro.

Demour:
Just downloaded miui 9 for Xiaomi mi max 2 and i haven't upgraded before and still on stable rom miui 8.5 stable 8.5.2.0(NDDMIED) I don't know how to upgrade it

Ensure you backup important files on a memory card, pc, or any other external storage.

Copy the rom into the internal memory of your device in a folder you should name downloaded_rom (you don't need to create another one if it's already there), then go to the updater app, tap the 3 dots on the top right of your screen, choose update package, the scroll down to the folder, 'downloaded_rom ', and tap on the rom. Update with begin automatically, don't stop it till it's completed, takes around 15 mins. Ensure you switch on data during the process.

sinaj:
still the same

Clear cache and data, then try again.

Thanks bro

I would have considered this too but the intended user is very particular about sleekness, good picture/screen quality and aesthetics, more reason I thought about those two mi a1 & the Gr5. The xiaomi a1, like the iPhone 8, is only 7.3mm thick.. The Gr5 is 8mm thick.

But I agree with you on the processor issue... but I'm not sure whether it is good enough for the cost (about 83k)

If you are particular about sleekness, why not get the Mi 5? The Huawei is a bad choice for me, and what's the difference in sleekness between Redmi note 4x? The Huawei is 0.3mm slimmer but is longer and wider than the Xiaomi by same 0.3mm, making it even bulkier.

freebuddy:
Bross how much for redmi 5A announced today?
https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_5a_announced-news-27744.php

Actually Redmi 4a .

frankyvalll:
good to be back. i greet my ogas grandmufti,gptech,protein,emaminaj,nobody,spartacus1 and all

Welcome back ooo.

Acidosis:
Thanks bro, I wish I had given this a thought much earlier. The most important thing is getting the phone or one with similar spec & price by Wednesday

The closest I got today at slot was Huawei GR5 but I'm still open to any recommendation from you sir..

thank you

Processor is really weak for the Huawei Gr5, why not get the Redmi note 4x instead?

Elxandre:
When I see the price of this phone I shock!

But I can't cope with no 3.5mm jack though.

I really fit do without that jack port now, thanks to Bluetooth, plus I nr remember wen last I dey charge and use earpiece at dsame time.

Viccur:

Unofficially yes .

How much is ordinary REDMI 4x then?

Redmi 4x, 2gig ram, 16gig rom - 40k
Redmi 4x, 3gig ram, 32gig rom - 45 pink, just over 46k gold
Redmi note 4x, 3gig ram, 16gig rom - 49k.

iamleumas:
How much can I get the note 4x in Nigeria?

You wait for within 3 weeks to get it delivered, around 54k for the 3gig ram, 32gig rom version(gold or pink colour, other colours are more expensive), if you want it faster say within a week, then you spend more, around 60k or slightly more.

SirdimayG:
Have never run down my battery to 0% since have gotten my phone... 1 months old and counting...

Any other person in this kind boat?

So many persons here have same experience, my phone hasn't got to 0% more than thrice.

iamleumas:
Thanks so much...
This is what do on my phone daily:

Browsing till mama calls
Watching comedy skits
Design logo with logo apps
Edit pictures

Nothing else.. So which of the phones can you advise me to buy please?

Xiaomi Redmi note 4x without even blinking, just perfect for all, plus the battery is unbeatable, you easily get an average of 10hrs SOT whereas most 5000 mah struggle to achieve that.

Skywolf:
Please brothers and sisters and all others that falls within daddies,mummies.uncles,aunties


Please help fellow nairalander suggest which phone to buy

I need a gaming phone it should be able to handle heavy games

My budget is 50k

For your budget, since you only said gaming, get the LEeco le s3 with the beastly mtk X20 plus a powerbank,otherwise add small cash and get the Xiaomi Redmi note 4x.

iamleumas:
Thanks so much for your contributions!!

But I still find it difficult to choose between the two phones..
Here are my problems for now

-I heard that the battery drain faster sometimes



XIAOMI REDMI 4X (2gb/16gb memory, 4,000mah, 5.0 HD)
-Where can I repair the phone/ buy it's spare parts in case it get spoilt
- is it possible to return the phone in case it has let's say hardware issues after few days of usage?

Please advise me...

For the Infinix, it's a new device, I don't believe anyone has used it long enough for it to develop charging issues, don't use a defect of one device to generalise for others.

For the Xiaomi, you can return it even after like 2 weeks of purchase.

As for the parts you can get them from AliExpress and get them fixed here by any technician. I have ordered more than three different screens for different individuals without any stress or any ish. Also others have replaced their mouth piece, charging port, fingerprint scanner, and batteries.
