I dey also eye the phone bro but the front camera is just 5mp. Can you imagine?

The Nokia 2.4 is just a budget phone and I think the camera output should be your priority not the pixel count. I have seen many times where a 5mp camera performed better than some 13mp cameras. My advice search for its reviews on YouTube first.

tboydbrave:
Pls ooo. How much does it cost to repair screen on redmi 8a. Pls,it's urgent. Help a brother oo

It was 15k the last time I asked a seller here on Nairaland, contact MACBEYLAND for availability and price. if you have the patience to wait, you can purchase it from aliexpress for as low as 8k, then you can take it to a technician and fix it for you.

Exchangecrypto:
Guys I need help I want to order for phone in AliExpress $800 but my zenith only $100 I can use

Which card I can use to

an $800 phone? Well, GTBANK is the only bank that allows $200 monthly spending, I think you better save yourself the stress and buy it here through some trusted Nairalanders. You only pay the amount in Naira and they can order from aliexpress and deliver it to you.

Since it is based on personal experience, the argument is meaningless. For me it is Sony then Vivo.

I ordered some a case from Aliexpress two days ago and selected Aliexpress standard shipping as the shipping agent. It was advertised on the site that I would receive my consignment within 20 to 35 days if I chose the Aliexpress standard shipping. But surprisingly, when I checked my order this evening, I saw something like "your order is in transit and will arrive within 85 days".
I was devastated by this message because I don't think I have the patience to wait for almost three months for my goods to arrive.

Has anyone here been in my shoes before? How long does it take an item shipped with Aliexpress standard shipping to arrive Nigeria?
Please help a brother. This is my first time of trying to buy something from aliepress

calm down, the 20-35 days is the estimated delivery time for standard shipping, it could arrive before or after but you will likely receive your order within that period, but aliexpress has a policy of 90 days buyer protection in which you can file for a dispute in case your order did not arrive within the period of 90 days.

Nevertheless, they are still trashes, and that include the over hype xiaomi.

you may dislike Xiaomi but deep in your mind you know this is not true. A company that is among the top 5 in the world and competing favorably with the premium brands can never be called a trash.

One of my parcels ordered on 18th Sept arrived Nigeria since 29th but somehow tracking was not updated until this morning.

A particular phone got an issue after good two years of usage, and you people want to use that against Xiaomi brand. If I may ask, how many xiaomi phones have you encountered with that kind or similar issue compared to the brand you are marketing? Fact is every phone brands have their lows and highs but xiaomi is one of the best brands now in the world, it is never a match for Tecno/infinix.

New age
Fill
Romoss
Oraimo.
These are the best brands as far as power bank is concerned.

joseph214:
8 months after it was shipped or 8 months after it arrived Nigeria?

I made the order in December last year, tracking shows that it arrived Nigeria in January but was not delivered to me until August this year.

joseph214:
Something that arrived Nigeria 7 months ago. It's probably lost or stolen

I received an item 8 months after it was shipped to Nigeria, so it is quite possible. A

The money spent on these celebrities will be fully recovered from Nigerians who doesn't know anything about phones except camera and battery.

peterincredible:
hi all i just want to ask about the estimated delivery time are they accurate i saw some small items estimated delivery are between 20 to 30days while others more bigger and important items are mostly 43 to 58 days are they accurate expecially now that things are getting back to normal

they are not really accurate, sometimes if you are lucky your item could arrive before the estimated delivery time, sometimes it will exceeded. Last year in September I ordered a phone, the estimated delivery time is 20 to 35 days but my phone arrived in Lagos in 7 days and I eventually collected it in Jos on the 10th day. Then again in December I ordered another item with estimated delivery time of 35 to 58 days, it was delivered to me in August, that's more than 8 months after.

10 days between hand over to airline and dispatch to destination country. If the recent good testimonies is anything to go by, I should collect my package within 10 days.

Emily22:
Shiping is getting better with aliexpress gradually

you are just lucky. My order is still showing hand over to airline since 17th.

holarmy10:
RepairpalNG said 18k to fix A7pro

Y'all should advice me please
Should I fix or just buy another device

if you have the patience to wait like one month or two I suggest you ordered it from aliexpress for just 8k, any phone engineer can fix it for you with just a token.

Ogbemuo:
10 day's to Nigeria

wow! Very fast, is it aliexpress standard shipping?

So, what's the idea of selling/buying an old Facebook account?

Cibadau:
I think we should also look into the problem of NIPOST website not tracking our our orders. Most of the time, the tracking is stops at arrival in destination country. It is the duty of NIPOST to update the tracking information from there to final destination, that way one can easily know the situation of his item.

we should tag Hon minister of communications Dr Pantami on Twitter. He should know that someone who is paid to maintain that website is not doing his work.

chariisGRACE:
The price is OK considering the present Economic situation.

45k is not ok for a device with Helio A22 chip, there are better devices with cheaper price tag eg umidigi A7 pro which is just 40k on jumia.

Babanhajiya:
Price is their main problem.

exactly, they have peg the price of hot 10 at 60k and 45k for hot 10 lite which is 2gb ram and comes with Helio A22.

Yes, credit goes to Nairalanders especially xiaomi fans who are waiting for every opportunity to bash tecno and infinix.

Meister:
You didn't try to find the screen replacement here ? I feel like some sellers have it here

they do, but beyond my current budget. It is 15k including waybill to my location, but I got it for 7k on aliexpress.

Meister:
Which phone is that

redmi 8. I couldn't find it in Jos otherwise I wouldn't stress myself with ordering from aliexpress.

ceaser:
Once the item is small parcel, I specifically select Cainiao or Sunyou, in that order, and avoiding AESS or 4px as much as I can. Cos even if you select AESS for such light items, it's likely it'll be 4px that will be used by AESS.

However with large larger items, I preferably go with AESS avoiding SingPost as much as possible. Even if AESS decide to use SingPost, I am rest assured of refund if delivery goes south. I didn't pay extra for AESS over straightforward SingPost for nothing.

my item is an LCD screen replacement for a phone, all the stores selling the screen have AESS as the shipping method with DHL as the only other alternative and you know DHL is very expensive, the fee is twice the price of the item so it is a not option. I had to choose AESS only to see 4px carrying my order instead of the normal Singapore post.

supersaz66:
Seems like we're never going to receive orders that were shipped via 4px Singapore post OM

I am disappointed with aliexpress. I made an order last week with shipping method clearly stated as Ass, but they decided to ship it with 4px Singapore instead of the normal Singapore post.

dauntless15:
The bad news I'm seeing here is so scary, i intend buying a phone, but I felt I should wait till cyber Monday or black friday, or buy it now but what if it gets stolen, I need suggestions please.

Buy your phone here locally

Is GTBANK having another issue with online payment or is it just me? I was unable to pay for an order on aliexpress, I tried several times but couldn't get through.

Psychologists call something the confirmation bias, which is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. It is an important type of cognitive bias that has a significant effect on the proper functioning of society by distorting evidence-based decision-making.

The NewDelhi guy believes Dxomark is unreliable because he didn't see the phone's he expected to see at the top.
2 things are worth nothing here.
1) If Dxomark had ranked a phone he expected to see at the top as number one, the list would have been valid as far as he is concerned
2) He has neither used nor probably seen any of those phones listed in the top category, which makes one wonder how he got to know the rating is false.

Putting these two points aside, someone challenged him to come up with a list of smartphones with the best camera from those websites he tagged reputable and he has avoided that specific comment like a plague to continue his rambling.
Based on this premise, If he can't come up with a list that counters the Dxomark ratings, then his ramblings should just be ignored henceforth.
Everyone is free to believe in whatever they feel like

I think smartphone camera reviews and ratings depends on different criteria used by different sites and blogs. For example Gsmarena rated the S20 ultra as the best, followed by Mi note 10 and iPhone 11 pro in second and third position respectively. Another popular blog Tom's guide also puts the galaxy S20 ultra in the first position followed by Huawei P40 and galaxy S20 in the second and third positions respectively, MI note 10 is in 7th position. There is also another site digitalcameraworld,com, that still placed the galaxy S20 ultra as number one followed by Huawei P40 and galaxy S10 5G in 2nd and 3rd positions, again mi note 10 is in 8th position. My conclusion is, all these phones have great cameras, it is pointless to keep arguing on which one is the best because even the professionals have a tough time in selecting the best among them.

Na the guys for airport dey fall person hand.
Impc in lagos.
If they don't look at old orders then we would just be waiting in vain.

I think they are overwhelmed by the tonnes of packages at their disposal, but things are improving. Yesterday I have received a package in Jos which I have long forgotten about, ordered since December last year.

brighttech95:
Did you later receive this, and how long did it take if yes

I have since collected it. It took another 28 days to reach Jos from Lagos.
