It's all well and good for you to prefer to remain in your comfort zone..

At the end of the day..


Others of a more adventurous nature are going to invade your comfort zone and starts to eat a part of your cake..

All these years,Transsion has been having a field day..

Because other players did not find the African market enticing and lucrative enough to enter..

Obviously that has changed..

The Xiaomis,Vivos,Realmes,Oppos and other Chinese brands are here to stay..

And if history is anything to go by...

NOBODY stays at the top forever..

Trust me, Transsion has been in business in Africa for years, longer than any consumer tech brand. They know and understand us well and will use that against any other brands that wanna invade. Just sit back, hold on tight and watch lol.

donbenie:
Any brand that's worth it's salt should aim to compete anywhere..

You don't sit on your comfort zone and be claiming Boss..

Xiaomi has its target market and over the years have grown to venture into EVERY market and aspires to compete everywhere they find themselves..

That is why they are where they are today..

The Third BIGGEST Smartphone brand in the world..

When you know that you are not in the
same grade..

Then learn how to show respect..

Xiaomi and Transsion are NOT in the same league..

I disagree with your second paragraph. Alot of brands play in that same space too of dominating in a particular location for many reasons.

Transsion brand has positioned itself as an African brand and I'm sure it chose to remain this way cos there target market are found in this places.

What I've noticed that they took note of is the spending power of some places, hereby establishing presence there and selling smartphones to them according to there spending power.

It's not a new thing baba.

RealEzee:
spec comparison, he's better of with redmi than the Camon, c'mon.

Are you an arsenal fan?

yeah I am. Why did you ask?

sunshineV:
google highest abt resolutiona na, it goes as high as 3840x2160 (4k) on mobile

which one does the average Xiaomi uses? I'm not talking about thief flagships o

donbenie:
Local Champion versus Global Player..

Where is your Transsion sh1t located in the committee of the Big Boys?

Nowhere...

When Men are called..

Alagba too wan show face..

who are the big boys? See, every brand are not positioned to sell everywhere. That's why there's what they call Target Market/Audience and Addressable market. I won't talk further.

[quote author=Xiaomi1 post=101542268][/quote]that's it? This is your come back? Very lame and shallow

The Tecno Camon 17 is the direct successor to the Camon 16. it shouldn't be mistaken as the successor to the 16 Premier
Tecno Camon 17 comes with some upgrades like 128GB ROM, 16MP Ultra-wide camera and also with downgrades like 48MP camera and 8MP Selfie camera.
This is my unboxing and first impression video of the Camon 17.

8mp ke? I don't believe

Valkan:
noo xiaomi is perfect.....its a lie... that one was made by transsion to frame us check it has transsion all over it

nonsense and elliot

I also think Xiaomi is perfect. They don't have no fault at all. Infact, people aren't meant to complain cos it's the most perfect brand in the world, even more perfect than iPhone and Samsung lol

dboyoji:
There is nothing wrong with the display. The problem is most users of the Redmi Note 10 series are coming from phones with LCD display. OLED display flickers when dimmed to a particular level while LCD does not. This flickering even causes headache for some people. OLED uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) while LCD uses DC Dimming. Please make further research.
Personally, I prefer LCD to OLED because I use my phone in the dark a lot. I am actually posting this from a dark room.

posting in dark rooms too affects the eye.. Try putting on your flash while typing and putting it off while doing same then notice the difference in your eyes.

Sunkyphil:
abeg no dey mention am transision no b phone

that's it? You have no reason except "no de mention am"? Just go and sit down cos you don't even sound sound.

Xiaomi1:
if you dey Mad, me I no mad. I can't waste my precious 1kb on anything tecno. Not all of us are stupid.

then what are you looking for on this thread?

OlofofoAdugbo1:
I love the idea, that it comes with MediaTek Helio G85 , 5000mAh battery capacity, 90Hz refresh rate Dot in display, FHD Screen.

And it's price is worth it

what's the price

Xiaomi1:
ok

to prove this point that you're using a note 10? Or what point are you trying to prove exactly that made you drop this?

Make sense. This device is just good. I wish I could get it

Sunkyphil:

why shouldn't it be mentioned?

How much will this cost?

Xiaomi1:
you are referring to tecno here. How many tecno unboxing by Henry has made front page since last month? At least 7! Nairaland in conjunction with tecno are really ripping Nigerians.

Man! You're just a silly troublesome human. What makes you think it's not Xiaomi he's talking about?

Falconx47:
Reparability - That's the word!

I am inspired to write this because of a recent video I stumbled upon on youtube, which reaffirmed a viewpoint I've always had.

Nowadays, manufacturers of smartphone seem to be doing everything possible to take away the ability to repair their gadgets, should any minor damage happen to it from the users, this is aimed at forcing such consumers to buy the next new thing.

Two most popular ways they do this is by making the components integrated or expensive, or restricting the parts supply or expertise for repairs. In both cases the result is an impossible/difficult to repair device or a very costly to repair device (so much that sometimes, you're just better off buying a new one - which is their aim anyway).

This is firstly unhealthy to the pockets of low income earners, and unnecessary spending to even people that can afford new devices all the time. Looking at the bigger picture, this practice also leads to generation of large amounts of e-waste, resources used to make these products are quite finite, I won't delve into the children who are dying in congo...so that big brands can make hyped components. But of course the makers don't care...they're here for profit, no matter the cost to the planet.

So when next that new latest device is launched, and all the hype, unboxing and review around it starts raving and you start feeling pressure to buy...take a minute to research into the reparability of the device, simply put if this my phone falls and the screen breaks, will I be able to change it? How easy or costly will it be?

That will help a lot in buying sustainable brands and products, Nigeria is only a section of the market and nairaland is even a more micro section of this market, but factoring reparability into buying decisions and spreading the word could go a long way to forcing this manufacturers to stop seeing users the way drug dealers see addicts...

hmmmm... You made a valid point. Off the topic, are you into Marketing? Cos you're using some marketing terms.

MiVida:
Please.

just enter Jumia and make your order or reachout to Protein0

sunshineV:

I honestly want to know. Forget bashing and stuff. It's a genuine question.

shedy03:

Sunkyphil:

Mind your business. You're not mentioned in this conversation

donbenie:
Third biggest Smartphone brand in the world..

Hundreds of Millions sold..

Nobody cares what you think..

biggest smartphone brand in Africa that even your fav can't compete. Over hundreds of millions sold too. So what are you on about?

HumanCalc:
Protein0 does not have the 4/64 version. About the camon, I have used transsion phones before and I definitely don’t think I will be better off choosing them over Redmi. Thanks though.

alrighty. Good luck.

RealEzee:

this device is the real deal. Very beautiful

Better still, don't buy a used phone. Add money and buy a new device for the sake of peace of mind.

HumanCalc:
Abeg if you have Redmi note 10 4/64 precisely, abeg signify. All I’m seeing are the 4/128 and 6/128 but I don’t have enough money for that and don’t want to wait for a week for jumia to deliver the one they have jare. I guess I will have to order from jumia if I don’t see at the end sha. Location is Ebonyi state

@protein0 will help out. Have you also checked TECNO Camon series? Like Camon 16 and the latest Camon 17? You'll love those devices.

Xiaomi1:
you are still masturbating on G70.

smh. But isn't this an upgrade from the A22/P22 y'all are always crying about?
