Please boss
What are the box contents of the mi pad 5 pro ?
Does it contain pen and case (book cover case)
Does it have charger?

Pad, user manual, SIM ejector for the 5G models
No and no, buy them separately
No charger in the box

It's been valued at the $300 mark but won't be surprised if that price tag is not for this country.

Samsung S10 for display, speed and camera (Qualcomm model recommended)

iPhone X for camera (shines in front, back is a mixed bag), display (if you get the one with true tone), speed tho an XS Max is better

Pixel 4XL for the camera, speed and display.

For speed, Pixel (Stock Android) and iPhone X (cos of it's walled ecosystem)

The way Xiaomi don make high specced phones cheap. If not, some people for dey sell us trash-ion say na phone.

Same way them and some brands under BBK electronics humbled Samsung in the Indian markets or how Jio is dominating instead of Airtel.

But here we like to suffer even when solution dey.

Now THIS is how a friggin tech thread should be, not the "my crappy points are right me or f*** off" threads

seunfly:


May he is talking about the likes of tecno and co but that is not android's fault.

Figures

Ola17:


Not all Android devices receive OTA updates sir. I wouldn’t want to start mentioning any particular brand, you may have to do a little research.

That's solely from the oems who decide not to drop updates after launching a device.

Ola17:


Not all Android devices.

Mention some of them, since you seem to know something some of us don't.

Money that I'll top up small and get me a new Samsung S20 is what some people want me to spend on a midranger claiming flagship.

Anyways, I'm waiting for "them" to show up and give excuses for the absurd price-to-hardware ratio

thepoweruser:

Dem wan steal Apple's thunder.

See Gizmochina for more info.

After everything, one will make millions globally -even sellout- in preorder, another will be struggling to hit 50k on preorder in this country alone

Nokia 2.1, old but the modem is a Qualcomm modem which so far is one of the best at the moment for more stable cellular signals in some areas...

If cellular isn't average in your location, go for the newer 2.2 or A3

Zero, even if it changes for the better

For those getting paid in $, this doesn't bother us

We getting any data bonus, a decrease in current ones plus what's the state of 5G, the one they've been testing since last year in my area, no show

Pretty much any device with the SD865 and SD870 SoC will do for your budget like the Samsung S20s, OnePlus 8 series, recent Xiaomi Poco F and X series...

Camera-wise, based off experience, the Samsung S20 and OnePlus 8 are ok

Software, OnePlus keeping it close to stock android, Samsung OneUI is good, dunno much on the state of MiUI

The SD888 got some serious thermal issues, unless you buying a gaming device (cooling fans and stuff), you won't really enjoy it.

About $200 or more, depends on my performance and other factors

Mustiboy:


Drop the weed, bruh

But it's some quality shii I'm on

Here's my opinion...


For starters, look up swift and java languages (should explain the latency amongst other things), 32-bit and 64-bit architecture (also the latency and why apps are sometimes meh), should explain a lot or nothing if you're the average Nigerian I'm used to meeting about

What pressure exactly?
Is like cane dey hungry you abi

That I decided not to splurge that amount on an iPhone??

Rather get me an Xperia 1 II or channel it to my side hustle than that crap

lovewins:


What type of current account bro?

The one everyone opening

Jacku:
and that's what makes it overrated? Y'all will just wake up one morning and any thing that comes up in your mind you just say it. It seems 'overrated' is overly used to downplay peoples' hard work and effort.

Oh really?

You expect me to give you a full list of everything that's not worth frothing over an iPhone and iOS right now... Oya

Computational Audio (Lossless Audio) - TF is the point of this? Making something that already exists and going as far as rendering it useless for those who spent over $600 for that crappy headphone.
Of course you'll say something ridiculous about Nigerians not needing this (you were never a part of their target audience and good tech is wasted on many here)

iPhone 12 recent speaker issues - they know the units were defective but shipped them out, relying on people using their airpods to answer calls till users complained about in their forum and to avoid a lawsuit and fine, offered free repair

Rights to repair - they frigging sued a technician (case is still ongoing) who fixed their products for cheap instead of paying an arm and a leg as Apple care peeps do but you'll argue this cos you think that being in a semi-civilized county has its perks and it doesn't concern you cos Emeka in computer village can fix it for you cheap

The CSAM privacy ish on their users using icloud (which was touted to be veery secure but isn't)... Where's the complete privacy
.....

Need i go on?

Plus that statement about using words to downplay others efforts, dunno what you trying to play at and it doesn't work on me, only gets me pissed.
That's my opinion and if you wanna present an argument, remove all emotions.

Jacku:
how is apple overrated?

Hype on security
Fancy UI don't mean shii
Camera - honestly there are android devices out there that takes good shots

Deicide:
Haba bros you never explain anything na.............. Why is it special? what makes it different from other dollar cards?

It is not special, only popular amongst arbitrage traders (not a secret, just people too lazy to find out these type of things) and why Access... Prolly cos people have less issues when using them for international transactions?

Other banks offer visa gold cards you can try as well, just everyone thinks Access got their shii together despite their sometimes high rates.

atheistandproud:


Moving all of your stuff from an old iPhone to a newer one.

How everything is restored as soon as you sign in your Apple ID.

Android is catching up already anyways.

Isn't that the same as backup or this another feature I am not aware of?

Deicide:
Abeg explain

Open a current acct with them and ask for a visa gold card (it has a $10k limit but before you open with the branch, make sure the CS knows what it fully does before they carry nonsense and give you)

I'll pick Android for total control of my media content and the apps I pay for. All their products (except maybe their iPads) are overrated.
As for security, there are some os you flash and apps to use to give you the level of security you want.

You decided to enter?

AgroSeeds:
Please I need someone who can help me root my LG V20 android 9 pie. The person must be really good at rooting phones to avoid phone issues.

Its not just about just googling the method. I actually need someone who is versed in it and is sure that any method applied will work. Am willing to pay please.

This is very important because there is an app I want to install for business. But its requiring root.

Do reply or quote. You can also chat or call 09090907136 for procedures. Thanks buddies.

XDA...

"Pay on delivery or no deal" if I'm buying something from a stranger in Lagos or I go directly to them if I know the area

Swap in slot kinda funny... This lady undervalued my phone that hasn't reached a year on me, I was wondering if its scrap I came to sell (RN 7)
