Menusvan:Lol. Not everyone is in your shoes |
Recently we have seen smartphone companies jump on the foldable phone bandwagon isn’t a bit surprising but the biggest question I ask myself each time is this Do we actually need foldable phones? https://i2.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Samsung-Folding-Devices.jpg Before I dive into the whole foldable phone issue, let me take you on a little trip back in time. Starting from when our regular smartphone designs started witnessing some major changes. So without further ado, let’s get started. https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/lets-get-this-45ff92.jpg In general, smartphone companies have always been competing with each other in order to get a larger market share with top Chinese companies like Vivo, Xiaomi And Oppo pushing design aesthetics to the max, sure enough, they’ve gotten a lot of attention within the mobile phone Industry and are even the. We all can clearly remember when Xiaomi started the bezelless trend back in 2016 with the release of the Xiaomi Mi Mix which was one of the first smartphones if not the first with very slim bezels. https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Xiaomi-Mi-MIX-256GB.jpg Chinese Companies, Oppo and Vivo also pushed design limits to the edge by moving the position of the front camera in their phones – The Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex respectively. Take a look at these two devices. https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/OPPO-Find-X-vs-Vivo-NEX-price-specs-comparison-Revu-Philippines-881x496.jpg You can clearly see what Oppo and Vivo did with their designs. In the Oppo Find X, both the front and rear camera’s are hidden and only slides up when you open the camera app while in the Vivo Nex only the front camera slides up. Both designs are great but believe the “Nigerian” in me is still scared that the mechanical parts could fail. The way you feel when your camera doesn’t work on a regular phone would be worse on a phone with moving parts when it doesn’t even respond. https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3Hw6dg.gif So basically here’s what our smartphones have gone from in the past couple of years and the last one is the new trend smartphone companies are heading to – Foldable Phones https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/evo.png As much as it seems awesome. I still find it awkward. Personally, I don’t know why they came up with this but if they are trying to bring back that nostalgic feeling that the foldable phones in the early 2000’s gave us, with the current technology in place, they aren't very far from it. https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Samsung-Galaxy-Fold-Gear-Patrol-Lead-Full.jpg There are companies that are still testing this at the moment, those who have already released theirs and those who have simply shelved the entire idea at the moment because I believe they understand the market more. Brands like LG have completely shelved the idea for now according to their head of mobile communications and home entertainment divisions Brian Kwon According to Kwon, the company weighed a potential release alongside the launch of its 5G phone. But rather than introduce a foldable smartphone at this time, the company plans to hold off while it gauges consumer responses to folding smartphone technology. Per the Korean Times, Kwon added:The market demand for smartphones is expected to be at around 1 million but LG’s main target in smartphone business is to regain its market position. Considering this situation, it is too early for LG to launch a foldable smartphone. In terms of technology, we are fully ready to respond depending on consumers’ reactions (to foldable smartphones). So while LG is trying to study the market properly, Samsung already released theirs and I’m very curious to see how people respond to this. Samsung’s current device costs around the $1980 dollar mark . I guess we would have to wait for a proper review to know how it works in general but still – What do we need a foldable phone for ? |
Who asked you.. Oya shift |

Earthbound:It's not really that easy |

A few days ago I wrote a post about the plan to merge Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger As soon as this news hit the web, a whole lot of rumours have been going around the internet, and most of it has to do with privacy. If you remember clearly sometime in 2018, Facebook was faced with a major security breach which was related to the private data of users taken by Cambridge Analytical so it wasn't surprising that the privacy issue was brought up. https://i2.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/facebook.jpg WhatsApp And Facebook Merger -Mark Zuckerberg Responds During a meeting with investors, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, explained the project that wants to create a cross-platform messaging system between Facebook, Instagram And Whatsapp. At the moment, the project is still in its infancy and Facebook is still thinking about the various possible solutions, so it will be necessary to wait at least until 2020 before we get to see the first unified version of the messaging system. According to Zuckerberg, the benefits include : End-to-End encryption that will allow you to exchange messages with maximum security. Also, it would help a user who uses the Marketplace on Facebook but has to use WhatsApp for the instant messaging part an easy unified way to do that without leaving any of the apps. The idea is to create a system similar to Apple’s iMessage on SMS, with more features and the security given by end-to-end encryption. Will Facebook Merge Whatsapp And Messenger https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/105336998_fb-nc.png Yes, but each platform would maintain its unique identity but we won't be seeing that till 2020 cc mynd44 |
MeshachMARTINS:Lmao |
MeshachMARTINS:Lol. Macbooks are generally more user friendly. However, I use both windows and mac. Depending on what I need to do, I choose the one that suits me best for the task |
Cheii...This one wants to open benz factory ![]() |
Vizzy4u:Check Nokia X5. It fits all of that. Also you get regular software updates |
Ejadike:MIUI is the custom user interface used b Xiaomi |
mojounited:Available on AliExpress |
odinga1of:The phone is awesome. How's the MIUI experience on the device |
N46,000 for wearable powerbank . I believe this is targeted at countries with electricity crisis. Apple has lost it. Powerbank at the cost of 5 10,000 mAh powerbanks. It's all good , please send my regards to Blackberry 10 OS and Windows Mobile OS when your overpricing sends your mobile division packing

sanerugwei:Oga Xiaomi Redmi Note and Xiaomi Mi Note are two different line ups don't mix it up. Read - https://mashable.com/article/xiaomi-redmi-note-7/ |
asuustrike1:The Redmi sub brand of Xiaomi would handle all of that. Look at the specs of the Redmi Note 7. Imagine the price Tecno or Infinix would have sold it. Xiaomi would give the Transsion brands a lot to worry about. They better start planning ways of facing this new threat. If Xiaomi is threatening to unseat the top brands globally who is Transission that they won't threaten |
asuustrike1:You really don't know much about the Indian mobile market. Try to make some research. Why do you think Transsion also sells their phones in India |
asuustrike1:If Xiaomi could succeed in India. Nothing will stop them here |
ClixMaster:Xiaomi is better equipped than Gionee. C'mon they have multiple products and accessories. Transsion just has their phones with Oraimo made accessories |
asuustrike1:Samsung's major problem is pricing, bring the prices down and make it available to the common man and see if any other brand stands the test of time here. |
ClixMaster:Don't underestimate Xiaomi ![]() |
MissingBudget:You really think Xiaomi hasn't planned all that out .They made Redmi a sub brand to cater for things like that. The Redmi Note 7 has 4GB RAM, 4G Support, 48MP Camera , Snapdragon Chip, Quick Charge 4, 4000maH and more and it costs less than N60k Trust me they know what they're doing and they're even planning to launch Android Go phones to take on the low-end iTel devices. |
I'm a Uniport student but seriously I think ASUU is actually doing the right thing though. This same government budgeted 170bn for creating cattle ranches. ASUU requested for 50. Now they're not responding well again. It's appalling how they value cows more than humans here
