fibonacci2526:
Time to change again, lollll.

Lol.. variety is the spice of life. I'll soon be holding the device too once @nooby gives me the green light. It will be my 1st flymeOS

fibonacci2526:
Have used Oxygen Os, stock Android,MIUI,EMUI and flymeOS and personally I preferred the OxygenOS(closest thing to stock Android and added customisations)followed by stock Android as the experience is smooth and bugs generally are very limited.

That being said I always keep a skinned Android phone as my secondary phone so that I can appreciate both sides of the coin but it has to be stock or something close to it as my daily driver.

Hmm, so what's happening to that our most recent flymeOS? You know the one that OCD been dey delay you to use...

jedisco:
Correct! But is it factory fitted

Also, if I'm ordering for fast shipping through DHL, do I need to ask the seller to use another description on the box to avoid crazy shipping charges?

DHL is usually equal to Customs wahala and payment of duty wey fit give migraine

Kingxway:
Yeah, but my concern is about the time it would take to arrive. People here don't know much about Xiaomi products. We have our various online stores, but most of them don't have the phone. I think only AliExpress and Jumia have it for now.

Would like to order via AliExpress as their price is far cheaper than that of Jumia. But I'm concerned about the time it would take to arrive

But their prices have been much discounted during this Jumia Anniversary window and people are taking advantage of it. Also, Ifedith here says he works at Jumia and has been offering some great prices too...you may wanna chat him if he can arrange a Jumia Nigeria to Jumia Ghana transaction

Kingxway:
Please how many days did it take to arrive? And how is the phone battery life so far?

Kingsway, I see you are keen about Xiaomi. You can save yourself drama and order through our trusted resellers here. I'm sure you guys can work out how to ship it to you in Ghana.

Anyone in PH who has a Redmi Note 4x (3/32) for sale? I want to pick it up tomorrow or by the weekend.

Contact macbeyland. He's in PH.

ubmech:
If someone had told me just a month ago that I will become a xianomite i.e. Own a xiaomi phone, I would have not believed him. But yesterday, my xiaomi redmi note 5 pro was handed to me courtesy of noobody. I am so excited about the phone and honestly, all the hype l heard of xiaomi were all practically true. The phone is in a league of its own as compared to our infinix, gionees and tecnos here. I thank God for his provisions and enablement to buy the phone with rock zircon earphone without borrowing. Special credit goes to noobody here, I was directed by someone to meet him, when he told me to pay money to his account, I was scared because of the situation of this nation but he was honest, guiding, patient and transparent with me throughout the transit of the phone. God bless u sir. I am a happy xianomite. Cheer �

Testimony time....Sombori shaat, alleluya!

macbeyland:
The main thing is to even try very hard to avoid dropping the phone because tempered glass can't even withstand some fall. I used redmi note 4 for some months without screen protector, the awareness made me very careful.

When I bought my max 2, I didn't use screen protector for months within which it fell up to 5 times without Cracking. After fixing a tempered glass, same phone fell last week and the screen is slightly broken together with the glass. Straight line across the front glass of the phone. Luckily, the inner screen isn't affected.

If only there was a way to change just that cracked glass top. That inner OEM screen is where all those non-OEM wannabe replacement screens dey fail the ezam

StephenAtir:
Please how good is Xiaomi product?

This Thread is over 3000 pages long, and, I believe, the longest Thread on Nairaland. If we had been bitching about this product, I don't think we would have made it past page 10. Tells you that Xiaomi rocks!
I'm on my 4th device and I'm not looking or going back to any other device. Read thru the Thread, research YouTube and GSM Arena about Xiaomi.. You'll be placing your orders with our renowned, trustworthy sellers here in no time. Nuff said. Peace

Buy nkwobi ,then use chilled small stout to step-down

My guy! No zobo tinz. I hear say e dey run belle set..

Just to reconfirm macbeyland's legitness. He came through despite say EMS wan pour san,san for im garri. Dem fada...
Guy, keep the flag flying..

macbeyland:
Exactly my point bro. It was not even about the buyer nor about me. It's about discourse and enlightenment. Bottom line is..... It's no use starting a business conversation with someone whom you can't trust. That's actually the message that should be gleaned from this.

Gbam! End of discussion. May God continue to elevate una marketers patience and grow your ministries n'aha Jesus, ahhmiin..

grinface98:
I have a seller that sells for #850

You neva ansa the kweshon...

ubev01:
if i have trust issues, the seller has a duty to calm me down, give me assurance backed with strong evidence and then still respect my decision at the end.

If I be jobman, what you're asking me to do is package you for the slaughter. Personally, as an honest dealer, I won't sweat the technique. Just tell you to go with your instincts while telling you straight up that I'm legit to deal with. In the end, the ball remains in your court to decide if to deal or not.

macbeyland:
My reason for posting it here is that I want the issue discussed, and also to pass that message that it's no use chatting a seller up, making him/her send you full spec, pictures and reviews of a product if you doubt his or her credibility.

I would have agreed that it was wrong to have posted it here if I had released any detail about the person. In this case, I don't think I agree with you on that.

I have actually had customers who doubted my credibility and had to do my best to convince them. Some even still doubted until we found a way to do face to face transaction. However, I appreciated those ones because they came with their own trust issue at the beginning of our conversation and it was handled. I feel to engage someone exhaustively for a very long while, then coming up with that line was a bit unfair.

I hadn't seen this your post before my earlier ones in response to other comments on your original post. Exactly what i was saying too that you did not reveal anything about the prospective buyer and that your post was good and necessary for discussion. I also don't see anything you've done wrong by bringing up this issue for discussion.

vosquare:
d thing easy na....u have trust issue,u don't need to start convo with a stranger...not to talk of money matter. At the same time,d seller should not have posted d chats....that's very bad on him and the buyer

But e no mention the prospective buyer name na.. abi I miss that part? I think it's a healthy topic for discussion.

Protein0:
has airing it made d person trust u?
One thingy you'll agree with me is that those that will buy won't chat very very long with loads of rhetorical questions. Imagine a question like "can I trust you with my money?" or haven't you been asked that before? I wonder if a scammer will answer "no" to such. Imagine this, 'I've read loads of positive feedbacks about you and I was actually referred to you by a friend. It's not as if I don't trust you but can you scan your international passport to me? "
Or something like' I've trust issues, can you send it first and I'll pay after receiving the phone", from someone with no single post/topic here on nairaland before o

The bottomline is that not everyone who buzzed you wants to buy, if you like pay Davido to give them "assurance" or even take the phone to them, they will not buy.
If some people still doubt aliexpress with one of the best buyer's protection policy, who are 'we' with few hundreds of just online feedbacks and recommendations?
But it's not OK for you to start airing it, or did someone ask you here?

Guy, walahi, laff wan kee me here as I dey read your post about people and trust issues. E no easy for una marketers. Still, no real harm in macbey airing the issue. He didn't post any name of the prospective if I recall correctly, and it's stimulated a healthy discourse on the matter for people in the Thread to wade in with their views/opinions. In the end I think we are all the beneficiaries for having read and contributed.

This rain since last night na wah o! Road go gree pass so? Well I still dey warsh am from my window, thank God for black coffee, no sugar, no cream..no cold for body

fibonacci2526:
lollll, WiFi only na. E nor go move like phones, like who still uses tablet these days? Make we dey look if we go cop one for 11.11 God willing.

The last one on the pic is WiFi/LTE so apparently there will also be option of a SIM friendly version. Like you said, 11.11 tinz loading.

olanreyman:
Still looking for performance difference between mi max 2 and redmi 5 plus. Same snapdragon 625, adreno 506,, 2.0hz... Who fit yarn me facts to differenciate the two in terms of performance

Same engine, different body e.g. Venza & Camry. Max 2 is multi-media centric because of the larger screen

fibonacci2526:
It's too late for that tbh, the name has become known on the phone thread. No point changing it now to satisfy few people.

If dem no like the official name, dem free to use the unofficial "CBN Governor"..

GrandMufti:

They can only run, run, run pass TheRedmi Note 5, when dem run mad!... No be Terry G sing am so?
