Buying any non-china phone from aliexpress is risky. First you can't get it new. You can only get it as refurbished no matter what the seller claims. And since the phone is not made in China, parts won't be as available as China phones, so they tend to cut a lot of corners in the refurbishment.
I once bought on LG v60 and it turned out to be a Frankenstein of different models of v60. Phone takes about 2min to identify Sim. GPS signal was poor. Fingerprint sensor could unlock with you bumbum. I made a video of all the problems and opened dispute. I got about 50% refund. I used the refund to order for the correct parts and fixed all the problems.
I'm sure your phone is probably missing some antenna.
At this point, that phone is just a big risk. Returning it is possible, but your nearest post office will explain better.
Keeping it will involve opening it to see what is missing. If you are luck, it will be an easy fix.
The decision is yours.

Thank you for this, I just wanted to know how safe and long the process could take, and also hear from people who have done it before. I actually visit the local office yesterday and I was told it could be sent for me but they can't guarantee how long it will take to deliver it. I'm still weighing my option of partial refund or I return the phone and get a complete refund. I'm only skeptical about return/refund because the seller seems like he doesn't want to do a refund at all.

Encitee3991:
First of all, spending that much on a refurbished/used phone is crazy.
Secondly, returning item to China is burdensome, as regards pricing and processing.
You might just have to settle for partial refund.
Maybe push for a higher cut than proposed.

Finally, when getting premium range Samsung phones, never ever consider Aliexpress.

Well noted, thanks for your feedback, like I said earlier I have been buying phone on aliexpress as far back as 2019, maybe not Samsung phone though, I won't repeat the same mistake again.

Good day good people, I'm in need of your help. I ordered a galaxy s24 ultra on aliexpress but the phone is not working properly, the mobile network keeps disappearing every few seconds. I tried to talk to the seller about it but he wasn't offering me any solutions, so I opted to open a return/refund dispute. Aliexpress intervened and I am now provided with two solutions, I either get a 30% refund only or I return and get a full refund, this is my first time of running into this kind of problem shopping on aliexpress. I want to ask for advice from people with more experiences or people that were in the same position with me.

Is there anyway the outer screen glass of a galaxy S10 5G be changed, and it if can't be changed how much is will it cost to replace the entire screen.

atheistandproud:
Lol no. I buy the ones I can afford.

I mean Xiaomi NG rejected my RN9 Pro review for a promotional video because I mentioned the ghost touch issue.

Plus I am yet to hit 1k subs on YouTube even though I get 5,000k+ readers monthly.

Just keep doing what you're doing, when you eventually have large subscribers you'll definitely get review unit from different brands. But I'll suggest you do unboxing and quick hands on review on those unit. You can do a real review and user experience with the unit you buy yourself. Just my 2 cents, goodluck man.

Dexpro:
Job that candidates have already resumed?

If you've got precious time to waste, please apply. A job that a colleague of mine went for training and has resumed last week?

I have hard facts to this effect.

The recruitment might not be as credible as we like but saying people has went from training and resumed work is just unsubstantiated claims. Used to be like you but what God calls your own nobody can take it away from you. Like someone said up there getting appointment without anybody, I was also part of the lucky people that got recruited in the last recruitment and nobody has resumed working, it was only appointment letters that was given and we are waiting for training. I'll be more than happy if you can proof me wrong with the hard facts you mentioned.

parkervero:
Don't make mistake of selling it now otherwise you go regret am. By December it will be launched, kyc is on going, do it now. As per value, there are different predictions on what it will be when the mainnet is released on December.

Lol, you want to tell me about what I was one one of the few that started mining this shit from the beginning. You're even talking about KYC. I've KYC'ed that shit before you even knew about the network. The network don't even have a roadmap for you to conclude that Mainnet will be launched by Dec it seems that's not gonma happen anytime soon cause they have been on testnet for more than a year now and even if it does the value will be next to zero unless the reward is vested.

Lordofalmajiri:
since 2019? Proof or

I don't have anything to proof to you unless you want to buy my over 6k pi for $100 as the OP said.

You mean the same Pi that I have been mining since 2019 is now worth $100 per token. I'm now a millionaire without me knowing. No be only $100 na $1k. No dey whine yourself Pi is still valueless, if not I will be $600k richer.

Ekakamba:
This is what I am talking about. Updated mine but due to work couldn’t check the features.

iPhone will keep setting pace.

Some features in pic. The live text feature is da BOMB!

One can swap between pages on safari.

Stop capping carelessly bro, I've been enjoying the live text caption on my galaxy since Android 9, now I'm on 11. It's directly from the gallery not the google lens like you're insunuating.
You won't really notice major upgrade from ios14 to 15, just a minor changes here and there. Some are negligible while few are not.

Gdiz:
They weren't even up to 800... It was about 650 on Saturday

I was trying to paint the worst case scenario to them to let them know people that was screened the first time still have a sizable amount to be selected for the training, since it seems many of them are already thinking people that was screened in the supplementary list are highly favour ahead of them.

I don't have any reliable source to bank on, but from my observations during the 2nd screening, there is every likelihood that what the poster that said the 2nd screening is given more consideration is true, and it seems most of the officers at the screening centre knew this too. I do however believe the 1st screened applicants will see a sizable amount of people called for training because I can boldly tell you there was low turnout during the 2nd screening exercise. Though the day of screening for my state was on Wednesday, I got to there on Thursday and my screening tag was 400+, to put into more perspective, that means only 400 applicants has been screend before me, we are about 30 or there about on Thursday, so everybody screened from Monday to Thursday is not even up to 500, I can't say for Friday and Saturday but I believe those screened on the remaining 2 days cant be up to those that was screened from Monday to Thurday.
I think people that went for the screening all to together including those that did theirs on the additional 2 days added can't be more than 1.5 to 2k applicants max. So if the report that 5k applicants will be employed is true, that leaves 2.5 to 3k applicants left to be consider from the 1st screening. Whenever the final list is out, I pray we all have a reason to smile and give glory to God almighty.

Good day guys. The outer front glass of my Galaxy S10 5G is cracked at the top right corner. Does anyone know how the outer front glass can be changed without changing the whole screen?

SuperSuave:
delete your number, bro. I've gotten it

Alright man.

SuperSuave:
let's link up, bro.

. You can hit me up on my cellphone or whatsapp

SuperSuave:
bro, I'm from Kwara and just got a call now that I've been shortlisted. I'm going to Abuja tomorrow

same here brother. It was only this evening I got a call that my name is there also. Will be
leaving for Abuja as early as possible tomorrow.

How much is the elite x2 going for last, serious buyer

If anybody sells or knows where i can get accessories like UV tempered glass and protective case for my galaxy S10 5G, the person should please mention me.

I hate the herds mentality of Nigerians. Following the crowd has never been me. Never used Blackberry in it's glorious days. Many people are also misinformed. My brother uses an iPhone 11 while I uses a Samsung galaxy s10 5G, believe me when I tell you the iPhone 11 can't touch my galaxy in photography, the reason for which many iPhone users buy the phone. To even think I got it cheaper than the iPhone 11 makes it more absurd.
Many use it just for show off, unnecessary attention.
The only reason I might consider getting an iPhone is because of it's longer OS support.

Openbusiness:
OP, actually, the number 1 cash prize winner is ERICA, like play like play her $100,000 GoFundMe don pass $66,000 . If she completes that would be about N46m. Dis life no balance oh. September 6 to September 28, that is in 22 days, people have raised about N30M for Erica. The girl get serious backup

But if we are being truthful to ourselves, Erica didn't win money, it is raised for her through Gofundme, there is a difference between winning and fundraising. So saying Erica is the biggest cash winner is wrong, she didn't compete for Gofundme, she competed for Bbnaija and she didn't win any cash prize.

All these arguments will only make the OP more confused, sentiments and personal preferences is written all over the thread. All 3 phones are good but it all depends on your need and want.
The A51 has the best aesthetic, lighter and will receive 3 years update. Has better display and the SOC though not as powerful as the SD 720G but it will serve you if you are not a heavy user.
In terms of raw power, the RN9s has better processor than the other 2, has better protection and build quality. The LCD is no match for the Amoled screen on both A51 and A31 but is still deliver decently. The phone is more heavier than A51 but you will enjoy more juice of extra 1000mah from the battery of 5000mah as oppose the 4000mah on A51. You're cetain of only a year OTA update, you might get 2 years but it's not guaranteed.
Lastly the M31 is basically A51 in another body, except for the bump of 6000mah in the battery, it has an outdated aesthetic compare to the othe 2, but the processor, camera and protection is the same with A51. It also has the conventional fingerprint panel at the back as against the under-display fingerprint in the A51.
Now in the camera department, the 3 phones has negligible differences.
My verdicts:
If you prefer beautiful aesthetic and display,longer update go with A51
If you're concerned more with processing power, longer battery life. Better protection, and if the extra weight is not a concern for you, then choose the RN9s
Now if your utmost concern is battery size, pick the M31, just know you're trading off more beautiful aesthetic, in-display fingerprint, and longer OTA update for more battery juice. I hope you can make a decision from this summation.

Vexatious:
Samsung S20u has better specs.

This is a comparison with Mi 10 pro not Mi 10 ultra na

Lexusgs430:
It's not about majority shareholding, but parent company.........

Oppo and Oneplus, are manufactured in the same factory.........

If you buy a Volkswagen, you're buying an Audi........

If you buy a skoda, you're also buying a seat........

Don't forget they are both owned by BBK electronic corporation along side Vivo and Realme. Going by this your analogy, anybody buying Luis Vuitton is also buying Fendi, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Fenti and Marc Jacobs because they are all owned by the LVHM corporations.
Subsidiaries can be managed independently from the parent company. I think you should be able to get what am driving at by now.

fuckboys:
I don't agree with you, they're the same company. OnePlus, vivo, realme and oppo. You can't compare their smartphones with xiaomi. I'd rather put them in the leagues of Huawei

Never said they are not the same company to begin with. I said because Oppo is the majority and only shareholder in Oneplus doesn't equate all Oppo phones to Oneplus phones. Oppo and Oneplus are different brands. Like you rightly said, Oppo, Vivo, Realme and Oneplus are all under BBK electronic corporation. All these brands have different market and needs to serve, you can't equate all realme phones to Oppo phones, likewise Oppo to Oneplus and at the same time Oneplus to Vivo.

Lexusgs430:
Oppo should be seen as Oneplus........... Oneplus vs Xiaomi...........

No contest..... Oppo wins......

Oppo may have the majority shareholder in Oneplus, but they are not the same and cannot be seen as one. It's just like saying Volkswagen and Bugatti is the same, so Volkswagen is better than Lamborghini because it owns Bugatti. That anaolgy is flawed, Oppo makes decent and quality device but don't equate all Oppo phones to Oneplus phones.

Please does anybody sell Umidigi Power screen here, or anybody with any idea of how i can get the screen replace. Your reply will be highly appreciated.

Giveaway lo pa Opay

How durable a smartphone is depends on the material viz a viz the user of the phone him/herself. Though i personally don't have RN7 but i have a junior brother using the phone for more than a year without any problem and I'm sure a lot of users using the same phone don't have this dilemma you faced. The phone is called a budget phone for a reason but if you think it's not reliable why don't you check other brands within the same price range you feel are reliable, check the material used. Lemme tell you what you will find, most didn't use GG5 back and front, most of galaxy A series from a10 to a70 used plastic back and plastic frame and again from a50 upward is more costly more than the RN7 with inferior protection. If you don't handle your phone with care even if it's made with GG6 i can assure you in no time you will spend money in repairing the screen and any other minor issues you can think of.

Just go to phone setting>additional settings and change the region to china or india. Go to the theme you should be able to download any font you want, reboot your phone after you applied the font. You can change your region back after that

Actually i think both game is almost the same but it all depends on preference. Personally i prefer CODM not because it's better than PUBG but i just find the action (ranked multiplayer) more fast paced compared to PUBG. I think PUBG thrive on Battle Royale while CODM is better at multiplayer. I don't think any is more tactical than the other, if you really wanna know how tactical CODM can get, just play the ranked MP continuously, that's where the real pro players are. Another thing I've realized is that if you starts playing PUBG before CODM you'll more likely enjoy PUBG more but if you played CODM before PUBG, you'll enjoy CODM more.
For poster that said he won 4 out 5 Battle Royale matches on CODM i guess u didn't update to newer season when it came out because most of the pro players won't be on the older version, so if you are on the older version you're more likely playing with rookies because i can easily win 9 out possible 10 matches if there is newer version but refused to update.
My verdict is if you like BR match PUBG is for but if you enjoy fast paced MP match CODM is the game for you.

Number 1 on my list is coming late to a date. I went on a daty eith a lady this last Dec and she kept me waiting for almist 45mins, like WTF, if you know you will come late just temme then we can reschedule.
Second on my list pressing your phone always. How can u come on a date and be pressing your phone like you're on a date with your phone, put that phone down and let's have a conversation, it's the reason we are here.
Thirdly is asking for takeway after you've eaten. I don't get, is it that the food is not enough for you or you just want to take home for your siblings and friends.
