AndreSalvatore: Just got surfing the net on the latest xiaomi note 9pro but instead i saw something more worthy in the 'person' of REALME 6 PRO getting the better of both phones. In all its glory, the REALME beautifully out performed XIAOMI in almost all departments...
Whats ur take guys.
In camera department, the realme is always poor, but if u not a camera freak, the realme 6pro is good for u but i don't know hw much it cost cos global version of Realme is always high and it is not too accessible in the market
greenhulk: Galaxy s10 can successfully take a shower. We need to know if op bought it brand new or pre used. If it was pre used then it must have previously been opened and hence lost its water resistance.
It can, but there is a time frame for it to be submerged in water, maybe he stayed more than the required time or maybe u are right, the previous user or users would ve tamper with it
explosiveskull: lol, my brother na naija we dey, na our signature be that, frustration and slow functioning of institutions but las las en go better. you for collect the number of the person who attended to you and then always call to put them on their heels to process your account. my guy that did same thing am going for, just got his account ok for withdrawals.
edoairways: They find it difficult to penetrate the android smartphone market especially Africa's biggest market
Back then in 2013, lot of people in benin loved Gionee than tecno and infinix because of the battery and Gionee was durable, but in 2017, the then CEO misused the company funds for personal use and bankrupt the company, they are just coming bck
DarkJeddi: Xiaomi is neither Gionee,Wiko nor Fero..
On the other hand,they have more than enough capital to play whatever dirty games Transsion may come up with..
Tell Transsion to wake up..
Oppo,Xiaomi,Huawei and co are coming for them..
It is no longer business as usual..
Nigerians deserves better than the SH1T,Transsion has been dishing out for years..
Let them go and ask Nokia and Blackberry,what happens when you fail to adapt to the market situation..
Or are they bigger than those two?
The truth is that Nigeria market is so funny, if tecno and infinix don't wake up, in nxt 5 yrs from now, they will be like blackberry that started dying slowly, they ve even started dying slowly, cos infinix and tecno sales in 2019 depreciated and this 2020, they are still depreciating, in 2018 to early part of 2019, i never know Xiaomi products or Oneplus or vivo, but now go to asaba mall, kowai plaza, na oppo, Xiaomi, vivo, even slot Asaba, these products are fastly taken over, although they ven't reached the marketing scale of tecno and infinix but in the nxt 2-5yrs, they will over take tecno and infinix
Satan66: Gosh, such a huge disappointment. If just a shower could cause this damage I don't wanna imagine what would have happened if I put inside a pool.
How many mins they u keep it on water, cos its ip68, which can stay inside water(1.5m) for 30mins it seems u exceeded the time
natsuDragneel: Lol bros You no search well You can get X2 for as low as 82k on some stores in AliExpress There's one or two in my cart at the moment with 84$ DHL shipping as the only available option 2 weeks ago, AliExpress standard shipping was available for 6$ or so
So Na the imposed DHL shipping be problem Some are not even shipping to Nigeria for now
When ordering, do u only calculate the phone price or the total sum, is the total sum you should be calculating and also add custom fees too
edoairways: elvischukie it not just technology illiteracy, even medical, social, political illiteracy.
You are correct, like now, i can't buy infinix or tecno or Samsung or any xiaomi products or iPhone for my mother, why becos it will be sleeping in her room, my mom refer using laptop than phones, so the best i can buy will be itel becos of the battery, i know that one will take her for 3 to 4 days without charge, she just use phone to text and make calls
elvischukie: I was privileged to visit slot and 3chub yesterday with a friend of mine to help him get a good samsung device.
While waiting to get attended to, took my time to observe series of events going on(won’t mention the tech company) and i was soo astonished how gullible we nigerians are when it comes to mobile phones, all most customers there cared about was max battery capacity(talking about 5/6k mah) and i was like, did this guys walk in here to buy powerbank or a mobile gadget?.
Other interest they had were high number of pixels and ram not caring how true those numbers are.
was soo shocked non, not even one while i was there even bothered asking about the processors used in producing these phones, i’m sure they aren’t even aware there is anything called chipset in a mobile phone.
And also i observed these marketers never mentioned it, or even bothered explaining to the customers, neither was it written down on the phone specs.
Worse was the category of people that didn’t even care about the features of the phone they wanna get and i wondered, who does that?
Why is there this high level of phone tech illiteracy amongst us, here on nairaland i see alot of people enlightened about what matters most in a mobile phone but when you go out in the streets, you’ll find out non even have idea of what is even called multitasking not to talk of processors.
who is to be blamed here, customers or tech companies?
Bros even some marketers are illiterate in technology, but don't blame them, if we had a standard ministry that check mates some things, we wouldn't be like this, but in Nigeria everything goes, even some people that claims to be gamers are olodo when it comes to phone specifications
DavSagacity: It's obvious that your wife didn't had passion for Animal science. she opted for it perhaps the school gave her the course after many attempt to gain admission. For 10 years she kept waiting for job to come.!!! No sir. an average Agric student is a potential CEO of her own farm. instead of waiting for jobs that were not forthcoming, she ought to have start a small farm with some amount of birds, groom it till it becomes big. most of the big farms we hear about today began small from the backyards with little birds. Now you can see why I said "obviously" she didn't have passion for the course.
She wasn't passionate at all, maybe she went for medicine or pharmacy but ended up doing animal science, i am an agricultural economist, but currently running my fish business, the funniest thing is that Agriculture is the easiest business to start with
PrinceMajestic: Yes Sir. It's my greatest dream to be a zoologist. I have passion for study of different animals ranging from the 8600 spps of living birds to the oldest reptilian order and archaeopteryx, the atiodactyls and carnivores, the primates and aqua organisms to largest group arthropods. I'm proudly an agriculturist and working in my field, managing a great deal of livestock farm currently. No pandemic in our field, it's the best thing you can do for yourself if you study animal science. I'm working to become a great animal scientist and uphold a PhD in Zoology. Nothing brings you more closer to mother nature than studying agricultural/animal science courses.
There is a big difference between animal science and zoology
caniva: Well, I am not his parent but the sound of the course "animal science" makes me see a blank future ahead, especially in a country like ours where there are rotten institutions allover.
Beside, there is nothing wrong if OP left his parent at home and decided to come online to ask question rather than asking his parent...we are all family in Nairaland; you know.
No course in Nigeria is employable, even the almighty medical graduates are still looking for jobs except ur papa owns an hospital or knows who owns one, In ministry of Agriculture both state and federal, the first people they employ are the animal scientists and they are the highest paid people in ministry of Agriculture But generally i will advise him or her to study wat he or she is passionate of

For dark mode, battery saving is just for Amoled and not lcd screens, for games, ur screen resolution matters a lot also the processor and not game booster
greenhulk: Bro, we talking about smartphones here that will be a few inches away from ur face. Trust me u cannot tell the difference between 4k and 1440p on a smartphone. Same way u can hardly tell the difference between 1080p and 4k on tv that is less than 45 inches, u need like 55 inches tv to really see the difference. And then u cannot tell the difference between 4k and 8k on any tv that is less than 75 inches. Why do u think all TV's with 8k are TV's that are over 75 inches.
When typing u will see the difference between 1440p and 1080p and when watching movies, there is a difference in them
greenhulk: I see them not going the full 120hz but we would most likely see 90hz. Higher refresh rate is the new trend and why I still think Sony got their priorities wrong with the Sony Xperia 1 ii. For $1,200 they couldn't even offer a higher refresh rate, instead, they went with 4k display which is pointless as u cannot tell a difference between that and a 1440p display. In fact differentiating between a 1080p and 1440p is very difficult let alone 4k. They tried as much as possible to make the camera great but too much for what an average phone user would really want. Most people just want a point and shoot camera that will give great images. Those who want complex cameras just buy DSLR. Also for that price they are offering 8gb of RAM while the competion is offering 12gb. They even made it 4,000mah for a 4k display with 21W charging, what a joke. Galaxy s20 ultra has 45w fast charging and 5,000mah battery, One plus 8 pro has 4,500mah and 30w fast charging. To top it all up it doesn't even have reverse wireless charging, like who is giving advice to Sony? It doesn't even support 5G. I don't see too many people paying $1,200 for this phone when they could just get a galaxy s20 ultra, or get a Oneplus 8 pro for cheaper.
But the 45w in ultra is bought separately, the follow come na 25w, and if u are into pixel formation, you will see a big difference between 1440p, and 1080p, and a bigger difference between a 4k screen and 1440p
thariodamaniac: maybe for you but for me... I play online games... I download and i play music all at the same time at optimal use... But normally i am a heavy user always multitasking.... No phone ba3 has ever kept up with me... Huawei, tecno, gionee, realme, oppo(they were not all mine o).... There was even a time i had to use itel to test it... Itel claimed 3days... In less than 24hrs the fone don dey beg for mercy..... Believe me i had tried the highest that took me down was 6000mah and it was becos my body could not take it as i was already having headache..... I am looking for who will give me those oukitel k series phones let me see how powerful it is...3500mah can never last me 12hrs
You can go for galaxy S20 ultra, it comes with 5000 plus battery, or u can get ur self a 40000 mah power bank
