henry007: Infinity display is supposed to be used when there are no bezels at all but that only exists in a Vivo Apex concept phone as at now. It is not overrated o. Went back to my 16:9 aspect ratio Phantom 8 recently and it felt a lil uncomfortable.
wah now happened to infinity display on samsung n co thats actually infinity display with minimal bezels?
Gentlevin: Better buy from Jumia. It will take 2 to 3weeks to reach u but safety of the phone will be guaranteed.......
You can buy other stuffs on aliexpress, cos I too buy from there but when it comes to phone, and considering the price, it can get lost on the way or some thieves at the post office will steal it .
centitan: where you put the processor used on the iPhone ,Samsung exynos nko? For me 1. Apple A series processor 2.Snapdragon 3. Exynos,Kirin 5 MediaTek
to me exynos and snapdragon re d same o cos dy copy each other...but iphone chip were no get open source wetin person wan use am do its of no use having speed but cant tweak nor customize
Gptech: Abeg nr use DHL oooo, instead buy front resellers here, make you nr go use 20k clear phone from Customs, then also tip NDLEA, some persons don experience the bitter tale.
Gptech: . Apart from the the speed advantage of Jumia Express, you can't compare both, Aliexpress is far better. The advantages are huge! In jumia, you can only return after 7 days, in Aliexpress you have at least 15 days to open dispute after confirming you have received an item. Talking about speed, it's possible and I have got a phone for just 9 days from the time of ordering. With AliExpress, you can tell seller to flash a particular rom for you before shipping with Jumia, sometimes you don't even know what rom you are getting (whether Chinese, Global or Shop), until you receive it. With Aliexpress, you mostly have the option to buy the phone along with necessary accessories from same seller, so you don't have to start running here and there to get one. With AliExpress you have more flexibility with choosing your favourite colours and variant of a particular model. With Aliexpress, you have more opportunity to learn about a seller and product because of a more comprehensive user review. For those complaining about lost item they most likely used China Small Packet Plus for shipping, that's an untracked method of shipping (cheaper tiko dey purge sometimes). Well, for the records, you are almost 100% of winning a dispute in such cases, have never lost any with those guys. The list goes on.
tis ur write up wont go invain me placing d order thru aliexpress gracias wud use dhl shipping
Cassie74: Why don't you buy from people that have in stock.. u can get it the same day depending on where they stay... go to Xiaomi thread... Look for macbeyland or ifedith... they may have in stock.. or if you want express 5-7 day, Noobody and Co. Cheers
i stay in minna niger state quite far from them i guess
so am torn between ordering the xiaomi redmi 5 from aliexpress or using jumia global services dunno which one will be fast enough as e dy hot peeps with xperience make una yarn me biko gracias...
Mystiq25: Did you update your M9 or have you been able to use playstore without updating it? Mine is on the way so I need to know whether I must it or not.
depend on the software patch your unit comes with and also the time frame as to which u placed your order cos recent ones ve everything already patched up while old stock dont.
Which chip set is better, MediaTek, Intel Atom or Snapdragon? Well, Inorder to find out which chipset is better among the three chipsets, first of all we need to know how these chipsets are different from each other.
Now, let me explain them in detail
1.) Mediatek:
It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in it's processors(like octa core,hexa core,deca core).
Battery Life:
The mediatek chipsets are known to be more power draining and results in less battery life.Now they are optimizing their processors to be more power efficient but still lags behind their competetion in terms of battery life.
Performance:
Performance wise their processors are very good.Due the availability of extra cores,mediatek processors can handle intensive and heavy tasks and they are very good at multi-tasking.But we can see all this practically if we have sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand more Ram to give best performance.
Heating Problem
Now coming to the heating problem. All the processors deliver heat while performing tasks. Mediatek processors deliver more heat(more cores=more heat) than the others.
Graphics:
Coming to graphics,Mediatek employs Mali graphics which is a third party graphics vendor(So graphics architectue is different from cpu and its performance may not match with cpu). It is really important to match the performances of cpu and gpu(graphics) so that the whole chipset performs efficiently and effectively.
2.)Snapdragon:
Snapdragon chipsets are manufactured by Qualcomm (American) company.
Snapdragon chipsets are not only just CPU's they incorporate other many processors in their chipsets.This is the main difference between Snapdragon and other chipsets.
Snapdragon chipsets are named as SoC's(System on chip) which means their chipsets(SoC's) have a CPU,GPU(Adreno Graphics),Image processor,Media processor,DSP(Digital Signal Processor),Cellular Modem unit,Wifi Modue,Radio Module,GPS Module,...etc. All these modules and Processors are inside of a snapdragon chip.Yes they incorporated all these things inside their chips.Hence their chips are costly.
Battery Life:
Snapdragon chipsets are best in terms of power efficiency compared to all other chipsets.
Performance:
Performance wise they perform really well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling heavy and intensive tasks they are very good.
Heating Problem:
Snapdragon Processors generally deliver less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810 Chipset-that faced many heating issues.)
Graphics:
Coming to graphics, they manufacture their own graphics called Adreno Graphics and incorporate into their chips. So here the performance of cpu and gpu are matched.
