Jumia is the worst of them all

As in... It's alarming!

The rate at which Smartphone and Gadget prices are going up is alarming.

Are we going to see a fall in prices at all going forward?

It is discouraging a lot of buyers. This is not value for money at all.

Tecno and Infinix your days are numbered. I rest my case.

akmath:
OFIA


500 NAIRA..

I got this as well. But it is not durable.

Dear Tecno, 2gb is mediocre. Step up!

Kingsean:
I'm using Jamax. its 8months old now and still kicking. the earpiece is one of the best I've ever seen with the sounds top notch. it reminds me of my former beats by Dre headset. so so good and i got it at a ridiculously cheap price guess... its N300

Same here

This is to show that whatever has disadvantages also has advantages.

I also experienced terrible 3G speeds a few days ago. But it's back and better now. The truth is: do not depend on only one network.

Limitededition10:
so I decided to get Samsung A10s added to my J5 pro.

seriously, I regret getting the Samsung A10s. I'm selling it off and going back full time to my J5 pro.

It is obvious that the A10 is not a device meant for you, pls let others who are interested in it get it. We all know that the A10 is Samsung’s entry level device. And you're moving from a higher end Samsung down to this A10 - that's the problem. The A10 is good for those who know what they want from it. But in due time they'll upgrade to better devices.

Prazo1:
planning on getting an iphone6s, maybe because of the slim and portable size ..is it advisable or I should just go for Samsung galaxy a20?

The iPhone 6 and 6S are very old models. If you truly want to buy an iPhone now in my opinion,start from the iPhone 7 & above. The A20 is not bad either, it comes with recent and improved technology.

Sainthia:
Artificial intelligence

Wonderful! I like how it influences the future of work.

First of all, Season's Greetings! It’s been an amazing year so far in tech. 2020 promises to be awesome! But I want to know what you were so excited to see this year in tech. Which is your favourite? Mine are laptops and smartphones with dual screens.

ZesusHVWritter:
The best transission device shouldn't be more than 20k. A lowend phone shouldn't be priced like a mid-range device.

Yet you see people spending 40,50,60,70 and even 80k on a transission device... I no just understand. Even the tecno t901 I bought, am regretting, everything lags including typing a number, no even bother about opening messages because that takes its own time to load. I used to think that tecno featured devices are okay. But from now henceforth, anything transission related is a completely damaged goods to me.

Truly I get your point, but you know what happened to the economy and the dollar rate at the time? Transsion has to make profits.

TrollKiller:
On September 14th, I bought a new phone
This phone was the Pouvour 3, a tecno product
This phone has been giving good reviews (which I later found out that they were all false by tecno marketers.) And I fell for the reviews. I fell hard
Unboxed the device and the first turn off was that the phone overheats like mad.
The 5000mah battery was a phony.
And there were no fonts! Can you imagine?
Android 10 is out but I'm still stuck with android Oreo for months.
I spent 40k on this phone and it disappointed. Worst money I have spent. I have been scammed.
Yesterday I was moving a file of 3gb from my phone memory to SD card, and my phone froze. Before you knew it, it died. I had to press the power icon for like 30s before it came back to life..
That's not all

I did an antutu benchmark test on it and guess what?
Even their flagships don't rank in the top 89
But guess what I saw.

The redmi note 5-8 made it into the list!
I regret buying tecno. Pes 2020 lags and PUBG lags too.
I no go ever buy tecno again

Modified:- Tecno marketers are here. God knows all I said here is true. What will I gain from lying to people I probably won't meet in real life? People I don't know?
Don't let the marketers deceive you.

For those guys saying I bought fake phone, see my antutu test result oo
Also, has 3Chub ever sold fake phones before?
Don't let these liars deceive you

Bro I guess you know this is not a high end device. Don't run it like a high end phone.

AntiIncognito:
i will love to be there someday, cause i strongly know that the YABACON will become greater that silicon valley one day..

Awesome! But it's a long road ahead.

Yabacon Valley is a nickname for an area within Yaba. Yaba is a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria and located at the mainland of the Lagos. This area is already growing as Nigeria's technology hub and cluster of hundreds of banking institutions, technology and startup companies which steadily attracts angel investors, venture capitalists, enthusiasts and media people from all over the world.

This cluster is the major reason many technology firms are considering opening up shops in Yaba.

kingxsamz:
Seriously, what is the purpose of this phone? I don't see any upgrade here... Even the phone doesn't have usb type c... Still the same old features. Releasing new phones every week...
And Tecno fans keep buying the same trash... Tecno fans are trying sha.

USB type C? You're pretty ambitious.

We're hoping for more improvements and affordability.

NUMBER TWO: WIRELESS CHARGERS ARE SLOWER THAN WIRED CHARGERS.

The weird thing about charging is that it uses something called electromagnetic induction. What that means is to transfer energy from one place (e.g wireless charge) to another (e.g smartphone). This concept uses two physical coils, the induction coil in the charger and the receiver coil in the phone. If the phone is placed on the charger but the two coils are not well aligned with each other the phone will not charge correctly.



This method of charging is much slower than plugging your phone using a wired charger which lets the power flow directly from the socket, through the wire and into the phone. Most wired chargers have a rating of 12W while most wireless chargers have a rating of between 7.5W to 10W. If you use a case or smartphone cover, the wireless charger may not even work at all until you remove the cover.



Some of may be wondering, what about wireless chargers with fast charge capabilities. Yeah, there are such wireless chargers no doubt but the thing is it only works with a phone from the same manufacturer. That means a Samsung wireless charger with fast charge will not work well with LG smartphone and vice versa. So if you don’t need a fast charger or you’re only charging your phone at night while you sleep, then a wireless charge might be okay for you.



NUMBER 3: YOU CAN’T USE YOUR PHONE CONVENIENTLY WHILE YOU’RE CHARGING IT WITH WIRELESS CHARGERS


Since a wireless charger requires you to place your phone on it for it to work, how are you going to use it while charging? The only way to use it is to remove it from the charger but it’s not that way with a wired charger. With a normal charger, you can answer a phone call, play games, use Instagram and so on while the phone is charging.



NUMBER 4: WIRELESS CHARGERS ARE NOT WIRELESS


wireless charging ?

Yeah, it sounds funny but it’s true. Wireless chargers are not wireless because the also have wires of their own which you still have to plug into the sockets for them to work. The only thing wireless about it is eliminating the wire between your phone and the charger. So if you still need to plug it in every time you use it, why call it a wireless charger?



NUMBER 5: WIRELESS CHARGERS ARE SO EXPENSIVE


wireless charging


Despite the fact that these wireless chargers are not as effective as the normal chargers, they’re still very expensive. The low budget ones cost between $15 to $30 while the fancy ones cost between $60 to $100



Notwithstanding, despite all these disadvantages, that doesn’t stop the smartphone companies from producing smartphones with wireless charging capabilities. If wireless chargers are to impress users, the companies will have to figure out a way to make these chargers work wireless just like Wi-Fi. Yes, so that if the charger is plugged in, the smartphone can be anywhere in the room and still receive charging signals from it. A few companies like OSSIO are already working on a true wireless charging product.

They claim that their products can charge devices within a short range, just like how WIFI works. This sounds cool but none of these companies has released such charger yet. Its just talk and no action but we hope technology advance fast enough so we can get it.

So that’s it until the technology can improve to the extent where wireless chargers can work wirelessly like WIFI and charge smartphones from a safe distance, it remains a USELESS FEATURE IN ANY SMARTPHONE.[/b ]

Wireless charging has a future. It's not just ready yet at this time.

A number of studies have shown that exposure to the radio frequency waves emitted from mobile phones & laptops can cause various health problems.

There's no denying that there's a lot of benefit and convenience we get from our devices.

However, simple precautions you can take to reduce the levels of radiation you absorb from using your devices may include:

- Keeping your mobile phone as far away from your ear and body as possible at all times.

- Avoiding Bluetooth headsets - these pose serious radiation hazards because they act as mini wireless antennas and blast EMFs directly into your ear and head.

- Keeping laptops off your lap and away from your body as much as possible.

- Not sleeping with your devices next to your head.

P.S : Using your device while charging is more harmful than when it's not plugged in.

Disadvantages (Cons)

1. Absence of CD/DVD Player

Transferring any data from a disc to the mini computer is not an option since there is no CD Player available. It means you will not also be able to install software on it using a compact disc, which is very popular.

2. That it has a small screen is a big draw back for a bunch of people

Some software cannot run on low screens. Also, the smaller the screen, the smaller the fonts and images.

3. It comes with low storage

It is not uncommon for mini computers to come with low storage. Because of their small capacity, it can accommodate low specs. It has also lower RAM than normal laptops.

4. Mini laptops cannot use large software and games

There's no way you can enjoy high resolution games and graphics on this device. If you're into high end graphics, and that's the reason you'll be getting a new laptop, you might want to avoid this option(mini). Photoshop is usually difficult here. And video editing is a no-no.

5. That this device is smaller than normal computers also means a smaller keyboard

This may be inconvenient for people with big enough fingers to want to avoid this option (mini) as it would be difficult and stressful to type on.

6. For laptops in this category, usually its OS come with fewer features

Various restrictions are placed, and you can't install some certain software applications as you'd require some permissions.

okwabayi:
I remember these falling out of favour in 2011 or so.
I doubt any companies makes them anymore.
They went the way of the fingerprint scanner in laptops: discontinued.

Cool

Mini laptops are cool, smaller in size than normal laptops; cheaper, but still can be a very productive tool.

Below are some advantages and disadvantages of this portable device:

Advantages (Pros)

1. It's easy to carry about

Feels easy to slip into any bag. Very good when you're travelling to take along with you. It's a very portable device.

2. A mini computer is best for productive people

Quite a lot can go on here, like working on word documents, browsing the Web, blogging, doing emails and working on spreadsheet applications such as Ms Excel. Its portability brings convenience, which can afford you to use it in bed or on the go. It could also be good for watching videos.

3. It's pretty cheap

As you can tell, the smaller the cheaper. Its smaller specs also has a part to play here. But overall, it's quite affordable.

4. You'll enjoy longer battery life

In comparison with normal laptops with bigger screens and specs, mini laptops pose a longer battery life, not high in consumption of power.

5. It's good for taking notes while learning

A smooth experience you'll enjoy. It'll serve well for this purpose; to take notes for further study.

In this post I'll be sharing with you my top reasons for choosing to stick with Windows Laptops over Apple's. Without much ado, here they are:

1. Windows Laptops are much cheaper than Apple's.

2. There are a variety of options to choose from with Windows PCs than Macs.

3. Windows Laptops are often very flexible with customizable parts readily available.

4. For video games, you can count on Windows Laptops for a much soothing experience.

5. Apple has adopted the concept of fixing only new and uncommon ports for its latest laptops, which is kind of a disadvantage in present day. But Windows Laptops on the other hand still come with commonly used ports which saves the day.

6. With Windows PCs there are a lot of additions in specifications as new releases come than its counterpart.

7. Microsoft’s Office Suite does better on Windows than on Macs. This is the most popular productivity software which include apps like MS Word and Excel.

8. With the Windows operating system, you can play with settings and do a lot of tweaks on the go than you can on Mac OS.

9. Getting a Mac repaired is not tedious task. But with Windows PCs, it's much easier.

10. So far, Windows PCs' keyboards prove to be much more reliable, even than Apple's latest Macbook Pros.

Nemelumvictory:
What do you think guys...saw an iphone4 via jumia at a good price..do u suggest a buy or leave and what the pros and cons of getting one..never used an ios before tho..thanks as you contribute..

Buying an iPhone 4 now is not ideal. You should buy newer models to receive current software updates.

This is where I give mtn credit; available in most locations.

datyorubaboy:
This new Tecno phone has great specifications

Do you think it's good for the price?

I bet this chipset is certainly for the flagships and premium smartphones.

chicwoman:
10 months later and my camera still works just fine

Cool

Be mindful of the apps you install, every app requests for certain permissions to have access.

There is no such thing as perfect security, but it's the little steps we take that counts altogether.

Privacy is what sets us apart from animals. It doesn't matter how careful you are, you're most likely to be hiding something. In other to avoid people from snooping, follow these safety tips, and learn more online.
