Just convert your budget to USD using 320,In this case you can afford phone between 140$ to 156$

With this you can buy the Following,
Redmi Note 4 Helio X20 3GB 32GB - $155
Redmi Note 4X SD 625 3GB 32GB - $159 at 1k
Redmi 4 Pro/prime SD 625 3GB 32 GB - 150$
Redmi 4X SD 435 2GB 16GB - $128
Redmi 3s Prime SD 430 3GB 32GB - $155

bros abeg what are the pros and c0ns of this redmi note4 and redmi 4pro dont know which one to go for. im more concerned about battery longetivity , fast to charge ability and non heating feature. im not really a heavy game fanatic im more an online person hence the reason im asking for the fast to charge ability n battery lasting rate.

Baroba:
Hybrid sim ( one micro SD + sim or two sims)
Very good battery life ( 1.5 days, light to moderate use)
Gaming .. having only seen my madam play all dem knock dem games candy crush, pet rescue, it easily handles them; I expect the snapdragon 430 and Adreno 308 to struggle with high end games.. Not much of a gamer so I might be wrong.. If you want to store heavy apps or games, that 9/10 GB you get out of the box ( that's all you get after MIUI don collect im share) your memory will fill up pretty quick and you cannot move apps to internal storage on MIUI.. Camera is average, but good for this price..If you want a simple phone that does all the basics right ( no lag or stutter so far) then its for you.. But as you don mention gaming, aim slightly higher bro ( snapdragon 625 32gb should be ur starting point, Redmi 4 pro).. This is my honest opinion.. Once I gather small change I will sell hers and get note 4 just because of the small internal memory.. 16 GB is just not good enough in this day and age..I won't buy them again..

so how much is this redmi4 pro bro.... thanks for your explanations

GrandMufti:

When you're ready...

I'm ready

Nice thread.... I'm definitely following...... I'm studying Statistics and we've done Econometrics and Economic Statistics (EcoSta). it was quite interesting!!! I wonder why you guys stopped posting here. I love me some more ecosta.... so I've been tryna brainstorm ; relatively on the topics that' abound in the area of economic statistics with concentration on a little bit of macro economics with respect to the current trend on the significantly less wonderful economy of ours; for my project topic so I'll be needing y'all kind suggestions. like topics on (recession, inflation, GDP ..... ) gracias!!!

@Appliedmaths @Efficiencie and co

What's the cheapest and yet reliable hosting site can I use to start my blog? as for domain name, that'snot really a problem I can use godaddy or Nigerian site. my problem is getting a cheap hosting site. I can't afford bluehost and co ... but I know for sure that I don't want use or blog on blogger's platform ... I'm going for WordPress. so guys kindly refer me to a cheap and reliable hosting site I can use as a starter maybe when the money is available I will upgrade to bluehost and hostgator for now I just wanna cut my coat according to my cloth.


more so, i intend to go into Fashion niche. I just can't see myself blogging on health niche it's gonna be boring for me and one can't do without checking for article online ... one can run out of idea easily.

END

this design is so not sexy but the features are cool...... they should try to at least write blackberry on the phone.

Whats next in line for blackberry? Will they still produce new phones next year? Cos it's been a while i've been expecting to see what their new set of product will look like

walcolm:
Have you checked your settings? Sleeping on your phone could have altered all sorts o settings on the phone

Go from one settings item to the next

i have done that bro. Infact my phone has a lock on it. I cant swipe up to wake my phone again now and even when i use the power button to wake it, it will still refuse to swipe up.

PLS HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO GET MY PHONE FIXED? I mistakenly slept on my blackberry Z3 and since then it's been acting funny, the *swipe up to wake* is not working again i have to use the power button to wake the phone.

Also, the phone dont respond to touch most times, it hangs, i can make call but cant end it, sometimes i can swipe it to recieve call, today it will work perfectly tomorrow it will start again...

Pls Is it a calibration problem or another thing?? Though the screen of the phone is still intact but it does not respond to touch most times.

justwise:
Can you quote the post you are referring to?

I'm sorry i lost the link to the said thread Sir. I stumbled on the thread via google. I just had to memorise your moniker and search for you here last night. That was how i found you. The thread was not created by you, but u did left a comment there about scholarship. The year the thread was created was 2013/14 that's the little i could remember Sir.

@Justwise I just stumbled on your nairaland post 2 days ago while i was searching for fully funded scholarships for masters degree in U.S.

As a beneficiary of one, please i'd like to know your story, the process and procedure(s) you followed for you to be able to secure such scholarship as a Nigerian.
.
I'm currently in 300 level and i am studying Statistics. I'd like to have my masters degree in the
same discipline as well (STATISTICS) or Statistics and Economics (both courses combined).

More so, I really need everyone of you reading this who has any valuable information to advise me on the right step to take as it will go a long way in helping me to make
a good choice/decision and research prior to the time i'll be ready for my masters.

I'm earnestly waiting for
y'all response. Thank you.

OP can you tell me about STATISTICS too

STATISTICS SHOULD BE THERE

shawlxAk:
Make sure it is plugged in. I mean the earphones. Post a screenshot of your playback devices.

That's it there.... even after I've plugged in the earpiece, the headset option is still not available.

Someone mentioned that I should download a new audio driver from Hp site but I don't really know how to go about it.

shawlxAk:
Try the steps in the link below to resolve the issue.

http://sholadaitman.com/2015/12/sound-playing-from-both-speakers-and-headsetearphones

Digital Audio (HDMI) and Speakers there no option like HEADSET

can you provide the complete link or you can as well tell me what the new story is all about this time

fearless07:
Hello, I made a terrible mistake some minutes ago. Normally before I update any app on my BlackBerry Q5, I check the reviews to see what others have to say before I update. I don't know why I didn't check before updating my facebook. It was after updating that I found out that I can't get notifications on the hub and the app is now a Web version. Please is there a way to downgrade? I have gone online but can't get any help. Please anyone that knows how I can get the old facebook back should please help. Thanks.

Blame it on Mark the facebook founder. He's the one behind all this... 1st was Whatsapp now it's facebook app.
Don't upgrade your whatsapp and facebook app on your BB10 that's if you're still using the old one that is still working it's hightime i started to like this Telegram of a thing. But what is subscription all about when you can't even whatsapp on your +40k phone

am doing a conbined degree with maths,i dislike math abstract courses e g real analysis.i don't want that to affect my cgpa

[b] it is only the "you" in "you" that can bring out the best in "you" [\b] my suggestions: try as much as you can to start developing interest in math because your brain will only choose to go with its master's decision. It is only when you tell yourself that you can do it and work towards that path will you be able to do it.

Make friends with the brilliant ones and have them teach you at their own leisure time. Once you are not shy to ask for help, the help you seek for will surely come.

Make sure you read on your own for at least 4hrs a day because it's only the you in you that bring out the best in you.

I'd like to end with these few words " absence is really not the lack of something but the presence of nothing"

" A fool of the highest order is He who repeats the same thing damn old thing year after year and yet He still expects a different type of result "
