haba my bosses, if you know this guy you will avoid him like a plague. I think he is the kvngs incarnate.

When he said helio p22 is better than SD665, one would know something is wrong somewhere. To even quote him, he said "they really don't know jack" . Yet our residential chipset prof says helio p22 beats SD665.

Transsion is full of shiit. Some Nigerians are woke, and won't buy their plastic toys even if it was advertised by Ed sheeran. Infinix, tecno, itel, birds of a mediocre feather flocking together, ripping Nigerians off of their hard earned money.

Selling laughable specs for 90k in 2020. These marketers will still come here to mislead a lot of people into buying godforsaken devices. You lots are worse than Nigerian politicians. So disgusting. Spits.

atheistandproud:
I'm glad you can relate.

The moving of trash to FP is money talking bro.

They should have used all that money spent on adverts, marketers and celebs on better chipsets. They wouldn't need that much advertisement.

I dey with you

Chubbyface:
lmao.. like I've not seen tecno users with peace of mind

some people are okay with suffering, doesn't make it right

You are about to make a very terrible mistake. Look for other phones in the same price range, Nokia, Redmi, or samsung

skywalker240:
mark my words, the day they start using the G80 then that would be the greatest gaming chipset on planet earth.

lmao...when they know most Nigerians don't know better

Helio G70 is good though, but it's not the most suitable. Snapdragon 720G on the redmi note 9s is better. Helio G80, Helio X30, Helio P90, Helio G90T, these are all better processors than G80, so it's not the most suitable.

Infinix has established its self as a niche. From trying their luck with premium quality smartphones and offering a lot more than just good looking phones.
Infinix wants to capture the attention of all the gaming enthusiasts out there with its soon to be offering, the Infinix Note 7.

Infinix wants to capture the attention of all the gaming enthusiasts out there with its soon to be offering, the Infinix Note 7.Announced in early April, 2020, what really caught my attention wasn’t the bigger Infinity O Display or that low-light video camera, it was the G70 processor that will undoubtedly multiply the gaming experience. The Media Tek Helio G70 processor is the most suitable one to support high-end gaming.
The processor will ensure high-speed performance and gaming experience like never before. It will be a virtual quality phone that will change the face of mobile phone gaming. You will also be able to execute several tasks all at once on your Note 7. The G70 will improve the overall performance and speed of the phone.

Note 7’s USP will be its high-speed processor. As compared to the other phones in the market that claim to have high-speed gaming experiences but fall short, Note 7 will be the best phone for all the gamers out there at a very nominal price. The phone will have high graphics and better resolution to transform you into the gaming world. Prepare to have your minds blown with the levels of interactivity that the phone will offer.

But it’s not just going to be a powerful gaming smartphone. You can also expect a great camera and display from the device. You can use social media, click the best quality pictures, download and play music, and send files all at the same time. This speed comes from its highly advanced processor that will improve the overall performance of the phone.

The most suitable?

Hakeem12 we were both on the same feild. Recommending shi¡ts back then.


What do we know, a one eyed man is a king in the land of the blind, i was also the go to guy, infact they call me the mobile genius. I always felt like a legend when those innocent tech illiterates come to me for help, as far as am concerned back then 2g ram, 16-32g rom octacore proccesor, then that phone is a badass (Just imagind if those guys are now enlightened like myself, how are they gonna look at me? *winks in shame*

am glad the scale felled off from my eyes, tecno and infinix take my eyes see something. And as long as i have data and i keep logging in to nairaland i will always try to enlighten nairalanders, thank God for our comrades like Sunshinev, Mrbone2, Drjprince, Zesushvwritter, Trollkiller, Criptofx10, the guy with the bitcoin wallet moniker and of course Atheistandproud and other guys we are many. am glad we woke up and now its left for us to wake up our innocent brothers and sisters who are unsuspecting of Tecno

lol, the revolution must go on.

atheistandproud:
Lol, a few years ago I would have attacked you for being an Infinix supporter and told you that Tecno was the best.

Oh what a life!

For real, learning is a journey that never ends.

atheistandproud:
The first phone I handled was in 2003. It belonged to my dad. A Nokia 3310 bundled with an Econet wireless SIM card. The sim alone cost nearly 30k! Within a few weeks after the novelty had worn off, I finally had the phone to myself and in a few weeks was able to operate it as well as the owner could and I did mess with some settings that got me some good knocks. I was in JS1. Very few people had phones then and who still remembers call centers, those little plastic chair and umbrella set ups where they charged N50 for a minute? They persisted till 2012 in some places.

Fast forward to 2017, I had used and spoilt or lost several phones, none of which I bought for myself. The Nokia 3310 itself was my first, then I had a Sagem flip, a Motorola candy bar RAZR, a Sagem slide, Nokia E63, HTC, various Tecno phones from those ones with pen touch to the P5, even using a Hot 2 along the way and finally a Nokia E5. I later dumped the E5 for an Innjoo F3 later that same year before going for service in 2017.

To me, I believed I knew a lot about phones because I had used so many. I believed (because adverts told me so) that Tecno phones were the best. In fact, myself and another corp member, Teju would argue against Maleekh and Ola on which was better between Tecno and Infinix. Looking back and seeing how it was makes me feel like pitying myself. When state allawie finally came, those two went to buy Hot 6, Teju bought W4 while I got the L9+, even convincing my roommate to do the same. The PPA was essentially divided into Tecno Vs Infinix.

Getting that L9+, I felt in my heart that no phone was better than my own or could do what it couldn't do. Then I was addicted to Dream League and N.O.V.A. legacy, playing online everyday until hackers ruined both games. When I heard brands like Le Eco and Redmi, I always felt they were useless Chinese junk that one couldn't find the parts for (the jokes on me right) and that the Samsung/HTC/Blackberry were overpriced and that my phone could match them.

The next year, even after I was robbed in a keke, I happily went to Effurun Shopping Mall to get Pouvoir 2. I convinced my girlfriend as well to get the Spark 2 even topping the cash for her to encourage her. My younger brother got the spark 2 as well and I got a fairly used P5 for another sibling. To me, Tecno was the best brand.

That was till PUBG was released. My old gaming buddy from N.O.V.A. asked me download PUBG. I said it was nonsense but he convinced me and I did download it and it worked but, I couldn't see my avatar. Only the clothes it wore. I complained to the guy and he asked me what processor I was using. Processor, I asked myself. He said only Snapdragon processors were good for gaming. What is Snapdragon I asked myself again. He understood my confusion and asked me to name my phone. I told him it was a good midranger and gave him the name. He came back and said "bro, you a smart fella, Why'd you buy a potato?". That night, I got a night sub and started to read and make notes, and read and make notes. The scales fell.

Even tho, my friend later helped me with a GFX that fixed the avatar rendering glitch on my Pouvoir 2, my experience with the phone was terrible. I cleared cache everyday, I had to restart the phone after any strenuous activity, it lagged, freezed and reboot constantly. I would enter a game, and hear other players walking and running but my game would be stuck at the loading screen. The more I read, the more disappointed I got. I read one new thing every week or at least I tried to.

On one search, the Google hit brought me to the Xiaomi thread. I followed the thread for a really long time seeing people like Genius.43, Aunty Fibo, GP.tech and grand.mufti with their knowledge and I have a lot of respect for them. They added to my knowledge. The more they spoke, the more I realized that I know nothing at all.

By 2019, I had a choice between the Samsung M series and the Redmi Note 7. I knew what I wanted. When Xiaomi came to Nigeria, I opted for the RN7. Going to purchase my phone at the Effurun mall, I could tolerate the Samsung marketer but the Infinix marketer was the one I felt like strangling. He told me that my phone go spoil and I no go see parts. I ignored and got my Redmi Note 7 on the 9th of May 2019. There's no one that has handled this phone that hasn't fallen in love with it.

This phone opened new vistas of learning, from casting to virtual and augmented reality, DSLR like camera performance from a phone, I can't even remember the last time I cleared my cache. Phone that came with Tencent and Avast antivirus.

That was when I made the decision to try and educate as many people as possible. So they wouldn't be ignorant and clueless like me in the hands of silly marketers. I am not a marketer, and I dare anyone to prove such accusation. I have been ignorant and blind and so I understand when I discuss with such persons. DrJPrince can testify I'm sure.

Seeing people who are supposed to educate the public like our resident bloggers here, misinform them is disgusting. Maybe one day I'll open a blog but I'm not in for money or fame because I'll tear down rubbish devices on air (Zach's JerryRigit) rather than lie to the people.

I admit that there is so much I do not know but I will keep learning and from the little I know will keep pushing others to learn. This post should inspire you. The people that know these things didn't come with such preprogrammed knowledge. They acquired them and so can you.

Lmao, that part about not seeing your avatar, only clothes. Going through your post, I could say the same thing about myself. I also used the 3310, used sagem, flip phones, I used the Nokia express music in secondary school. The years when having 10mb was like 10gb and one could go on wapdam, sefan and download Gameloft games and select screen sizes. 128 × 128, 128 × 160, 240 × 320 and so on.

The first android I used was Tecno p5, which gave up the ghost playing GTA San Andreas. I got myself another one, m6, and my game would crash after playing for some minutes. I went online and found out it was due to RAM. I bought another Tecno device with 1gb RAM and believed in happy ever after. Mc5 came out and my phone literally died and refused to turn on playing it. Gave it to an engineer and he told me the panel is fried, it was hard to believe. Then I switched to Infinix, hot 2 was my first infinix device. It also gave up the ghost playing a ppssp game, socom or something.

I shudder when I go through my posts here in the past, defending Infinix and blasting Tecno users not realizing we were birds of a feather. Anyway, PUBG was the Messiah that opened my eyes about the mediocrity of transsion phones. I decided enough was enough, I had to educate myself about these chipsets. You know when I buy phones before, I only look out for the number of cores and RAM size, like dual core, quad core or so, and processor speed. I was even the go to guy back then in my hostel, for recommending phones. I was recommending shiit, and I'd apologize to anyone I've told to buy infinix devices till today.

The last Infinix device I used was hot 6x, I was excited when I saw snapdragon. Sadly it was sporting snapdragon 425, I nearly had heart attack when I ran pugb on it and it was stuck at the lowest settings and even lagged on the lowest settings. I had that same experience of my screen still loading and hearing other players moving around already.

Now, I've also brought it upon myself to lead a personal campaign against transsion. For all the years I've suffered, had to restart my phone after every game play.

I will take this over the overpriced, lies filled, mediocre Camon 15

I will never waste my money on either of them or any Transsion device ever again though

Infinix is a part of Transsion, it's also trash, just a bit better than Tecno. If you want better value for your money, go with Nokia, Xiaomi or Realme

ochuski:
If infinix like make dem pay jesus to do the advert.... i no dey buy.... bunch of recycled junk that lack innovation

sunshineV:

Lmao, the way he kept insisting on the question like it's affecting his breathing. No one is forcing anyone to use xiaomi, transsion is there for them.

For book lovers, you can download most books on library genesis. You just need the books title or the author's name to find the book and other books written by the author. I don't use any books or bambi? Don't know what the other is called. I just ask for books titike from friends and download it on library genesis

As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation. The resentment that criticism or disapproval with each other's points of view engenders can demoralize the thread and still not correct the situation being condemned.

While we all grew up differently, had different experiences, some things some people post here might look shocking or seem absurd, but instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them. Let's try to figure out why they do what they do. That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism, and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.


Take nairaland as a whole for example, the battle between Muslims, Christians and atheists has been going on even before i joined It will still go on forever. No one can win an argument in actual sense, people like to stick to their guns and get on the offensive when we criticize their view point or what they have been indoctrinated with. While sometimes, arguments work, most of the time it doesn't. We all have our pride to protect

I'm not a religious person, but as Dr. Johnson said: 'God himself sir, does not propose to judge man until the end of his days. Why should you and I?

"To know all, is to forgive all. When dealing with people, let's remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity" - Dale Carnegie

bro it's the pro version... 6 gig ram, 128gig rom

I initially thought it's the ordinary note 8 from the receipt

Baddestguyp:
lol...GOT is far better...everyone knows that...
But Money Heist is still a very good show tho...


Have u seen Mr Robot? Check it out...one of the best shows I've ever watched...dunno why it's not very popular

Arguably one of the best shows on television in the past 10 years. The story is very tight and engaging, the acting is top notch, and the editing and direction are so refreshing. This is what happens when someone has a story they want to tell and knows where they are going from the start. Sam Esmail wanted this to be a movie, and I don't think it's suffered at all from extending it to a 4 season series. None of the episodes feel like filler, no characters are wasted doing pointless side plots that don't advance the story or their character. Everything feels so intentional, it's such a rewarding watch, and even more so on re-watching.

Them just dey steal my kills

Nice graphics, Samsung?

[color=#0000ff]Don't forget sey dem use the whole A4 paper, big font size and quantity of ink used contributed to the high price. If Manager were to sign, it'd be more than that!! [/color]

Yes, they even numbered the page, it all adds up

Bahddo:
yeah, it's truly today they said Dimensity 820 would be released.

na wa o. These people don't want me to buy a phone yet. The RN9 series isn't even available yet and they want to move ahead?

I read somewhere that xiaomi was going to use a mediatek chipset for 10

drake49:
thanks bro, am actually going to buy today here in Benin, but am thinking if i can't find it i should buy the infinix

Whatever you do in life, stay away from transsion devices; infinix, tecno and itel. E better make person no use phone at all

HowGlorious:
D battery of this phone don suffer, no way to dissipate heat while charging n gaming and even for hot weather as stated by Olanreyman

Not everyone games though. I use protective case too, but take it off when I want to game. I can't bear to have any form of scratches on my phone. Makes me lose interest
