If it would be a easy thing to do by myself i wanna knw my brosess. Apart brosess what do U think about ds link i got here,d phone is cheaper here but i dnt knw maybe it's a fake company n i dnt knw how i can get d geniuty of the company but they sell one piece and it is cheap n i dnt knw when they are gonna ship. Can U pls check it n drop some hints about them?
Ds is it-
https://m.alibaba.com/product/60496504346/Original-Leagoo-M5-3G-WCDMA-Mobile.html

Alibaba is a wholesale market. Mind you. Shipping fee is not included.
Try retail shops: gearbest, geekbuying, banggood, aliexpress, everbuying, etc. Eg:-

http://m.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_393566.html

http://m.geekbuying.com/item/-HK-Stock-LEAGOO-M5-5-0inch-HD-2-5D-Arc-Screen-Android-6-0-Smartphone-MT6580A-Quad-Core-1-3GHz-2GB-RAM-16GB-ROM-5-0MP-8-0MP-TOUCH-ID---Gray-369688.html

Across the websites, survey prices, reviews, shipping cost and mode and make your decision wisely.
The phone will be shipped as registered parcel. It can only be signed for and collected at a post office while presenting ID card of the receiver. So, you can use an address without a known house no and street name. Then be tracking the shipment, when it gets to your destination, you then go to post office and collect it.
Eg:
Name:- xxxxxx yyyyyyy
Address:- McClifford Family House, Santiago Village, Paradiso L. G A., Atlantic State, 101188, Nigeria

Where zip code (known as postal code in Nigeria is the 101188). Use Google; type the name of your destination town and type postal code, you will see your locality postal code.

spartanfury:
he said it can be up to 3 or more weeks 4 d link i sent 2 him on aliexpress but gearbest will be shippin after August 21st n d delivery might take 3days or 7 afterward.

Why not register on their website & order yourself?
Registered parcel takes about 2 weeks in postage from China to Lagos

femadesh:
I just tried payment with my GT mastercard and I was charged 340.68 per $$ ( a little better than stanbic's 350

You are perfectly correct. I have modified my earlier post after receiving alert.

femadesh:
Did anyone use GTBank mastercard today?

What is the USD rate?

N340.6

Who has firm idea about GTB exchange rate as per actual bank alert

spartanfury:
@ikbtn n Optimised,thanx so much my brosess,God bless U n bless Ur hussle,i really appreciate Ur reply n i am very grateful.
I was told on leagoo FB dt M5 has a non-removable battery n ds really break me down because i like d phone but d battery is small n being a non-detachable one it's abit of probs 4 me because i play games alot. Don't knw what 2 do!

If you like M5, go ahead and buy. It has generous 2GB RAM and speedy 64 bit processor to handle heavy duty computing job.
This reviewer claims that the battery is detachable-http://www.pdevice.com/product/leagoo-m5-specs
Even if a battery is not removable, you can do soft reset if the phone is unresponsive ( I think by pressing power key + Volume down key on some phones) and the phone will be brought back to life.

You're awesome.

Where are you based? Was wondering if you could help me order and I'll pay

melicent:
hi optimised and ikbtn, am having issues, I ordered for a phone on Ali express on 6th of this month my money was removed and my order was closed for security reasons, I contact Ali express customer service they said the money was refund immediately the order was closed that I should go to my bank. I went to Gtbank and lay my complaints to them since two weeks now my money is not yet refund. My first experience ordering from Ali Express was bad what should I do?

Send email to:
complaints@gtbank.com
enquiries@gtbank.com
Narrate your experience and request for immediate action from them.
Also, when you walk into GTB banking hall, there is usually a dedicated phone line for calling the Customer Care Head Office, use it and have live communication with them if you are not sure of their branch staff attitude.
Normally reversal may take days or a bit longer depending on the circumstances involved. I wish you success dear.

JonesPW:
I think I will choose Bluboo Maya at last.

Good choice

tobbie247:
Thank you very much. I want to order for a memory card for at test but I'm currently serving in a village in Ibadan. I hope I won't have issues with delivery since I'm in a rural area.

And by mode of delivery, you mean either paid or free shipping?

Thanks very much

Do village still exist in Ibadan?
Anywhere, the sure thing to do is to tick the option of tracking no when checking out. Include your contact no when filling your address. This way, when your parcel arrives at your local post office, you will be called to come and sign and collect. In fact, with the tracking no, you will have idea of the location of your item in transit

tobbie247:
Thanks a lot bro! You don give me liver chop

Which would you recommend best in Aliexpress, gearbest or geekbuying?

Thanks a lot.

For anything that you want to buy, do window shopping among the 3 stores. Keep an eye on the prices and mode of delivery available and importantly, user reviews on the item. I believe, you will know which is best. I am not rigid on where to buy but on where serves me best at that moment. That's why I have account and buy from all of them.

tobbie247:
Mehn! I'm scared of delivery wahala. I remembered I ordered some stuffs sometimes last year but I never got them.

Those post office people, I don't want to believe they stole it.

Online sales has come to stay. Even in computer village, people still get duped on eye to eye transactions.
If scared of postal system, always use tracking or registered mail/parcel option when buying: where you will be charged a token more and you have your shipment tracked and monitored.
I had this fear too and overtime, I hardly use tracking again.

spartanfury:
Thanx so much @ ikbtn,i really appreciate Ur reply bro. May God bless U abundantly
pls i would like to knw if the Freeme Os on the leagoo m5 is Ok n not like Yun Os? Pls i av no idea about this freeme but i knw yun Os can download apps frm Googleplay store. Thanx any idea?

The Freeme OS is more or less a theme that runs on android. Google playstore will certainly work with full access to .apk downloads

Baroba:
You better put this skill to good use, one of the best reviews I have read on NL.. thumbs up..

Thanks buddy, I appreciate this compliment and will reflect deeply over it as well. God bless you.

BlitzWolf® is a manufacturer of delightful pieces of an accessories to compliment today's upwardly mobile and hitech lifestyle.
I have always been fascinated by Blitzwolf; they are a responsible Chinese tech company desirous to leave a mark in the fast evolving and extremely competitive telecoms\electronics industry. Blitzwolf has an impressive build up of quality gadgets and accesories.

BlitzWolf® BW-C10 QC3.0 54W USB Car Charger
Quick Charge 3.0 - What is it?
The concept of quick charge (QC) has to to technology for speeding-up the rate of charging a device's battery such that in a considerable shorter time, the battery being charged would be considerably or fully charged. QC gradually becomes necessary in view of the fact that an increasingly number of gadgets' batteries are larger in capacity, thus it would require a considerable part of a full day half a day to charge them fully without a QC technology.
QC technology as developed by Qualcomm technologies evolved from QC1.0 to QC2.0 and presently now at QC3.0 with each successive generation being backward compatible with the previous. That means a QC3.0 charger can charge a QC2.0 and QC1.0 perfectly well.
I have previously related my experience with a blitzwolf QC2.0 Charger here: https://www.nairaland.com/3194435/review-blitzwolf-dual-usb-wall#47560777
that article narrates how a QC greatly shortens the time needed to charge a device.
It is worthwhile to note that it is the early stage of the charging process that experiences the quick charging. Qualcomm stated that the QC3.0 can charge 80% of a battery just 30 minutes.
My interest in QC technology has been fueled with the epileptic public power situation in Nigeria: whereby for days or weeks at a stretch, there could be no electric supply, it therefore becomes needful for one to have a means of recharging essential gadgets at the shortest possible time whenever electric power is supplied.
The major new feature with QC3.0 is INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage). While QC2.0 used voltage steps/stages of 5v, 9v and 12v to hasten the rate of charging, QC3.0 INOV communicates with the device to request any voltage between 3.2V and 20V at 200mV increments for every amount of current the charged device demands; thus allowing for a wider selection of voltages. This consequently reduces the energy losses and reduces the heat generated by battery that is being charged. Heat generally affects batteries lifespan.

Unboxing:-
BlitzWolf® BW-C10 QC3.0 54W USB Car Charger came with a mini carton containg:
A car charger
USB cable
User manual
The car charger is equipped with 4 USB ports as follows:
(1). 1 QC3.0 Port with the following output capabilities: 3.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A, 9-12V/1.5A. Here the maximum output charging power is 12V * 1.5A = 18W.
(2). 3 x Power3S USB ports, each with output capacity of 5V, allowing currents up to 2.4A (maximum). Accordingly, each of the 3 ports maximum output power is 5V * 2.4A = 12W. Then for the 3 ports: 12W * 3 = 36W.
The maximum output charging power of this charger is 18w + 36W = 54W. This indicates that the charger can charge 4 devices and supply power up to 54 watts at a time, an indication of a very powerful charger for phones, power banks, tablets, and even laptops/Notebooks with Type C charging enablement.
The aesthetics of the charger is impressive. It is built with high quality glossy premium plastic. When Plugged in to socket, the blue indicator light is subtly concealed inside one of the ports in order to prevent annoying illumination during use.
The USB Cable is quite an enigma. It is quick charge capable, and allows high currents up to 2.4A. It is compatible with both Qualcomm QC and MTK Pumpexpress technology. The USB end of the cable, is double sided, this means that either side of the plug can fit into a female USB port, thus helping prevent damage to either the USB plug or port. The mini USB end of the cable is made of quality metal. It fits into any phone charging port tightly. This is an evidence of a good design.

Performance:
This charger is indeed a high capacity device. It has an input power requirement of:-
Voltage: 12-24V
Current: 6.5A (Maximum)
Power：12V*6.5A=78W
I don't have any QC3.0 device at the moment to test the charger performance of this charger with behomoth specifications and capability. Rather, I have a QC2.0 Xiaomi 20000mAh power bank which takes approximately 7hours to fully refill when charged with QC charger. Convinced that drawing up to 78watts from a car battery for a duration of 7 hours could run down a car battery, and I would not be able to sit in a car for that long to observe the charger's performance, I decided to use an adapter to enable me convert household's grid electricity to power the car charger. To this end, my laptop adapter comes to the rescue.

Using Laptop Adapter to Power a Car Charger:
For this project, any laptop charger with sufficient output power to drive the car charger with 78w input is required. Luckily, my Dell laptop charger generates an output of 19.6V/4.62A which sums up to 90watts. This therefore can conveniently power the car charger at peak period. However, the structure of the tip of Dell laptop charger makes it difficult for any external wire to be connected to it. In order to easily attach wires from the laptop tip to the car charger without damaging the Dell laptop cable or port, I have to specifically order for suitable adaptor to serve as a bridge between the laptop adaptor and the car charger. It took about 3 weeks to receive the adapter converter connector (find supporting sample picture). Then, I fitted the adaptor converter to the laptop adaptor output tip, then soldered the positive and negative wires from the laptop adaptor converter to the corresponding terminals on the car charger. Accordingly, the laptop charger can now pass current to the car charger, thus enabling me use the car charger with household grid electric power.

Blitzwolf Car Charger Testing:
I connected the Blitzwolf car charger (now fitted with an adapter - supporting picture attached) to my Dell laptop charger. The Blitzwolf car charger indicator now lights up to prove that it is powered. Thereafter, I connected my Xiaomi 20000mAh power bank with QC2.0 input requirement to the QC3.0 port of the car charger. The remaining three non - QC3.0 ports were connected to a 9000mAh power bank, a Nokia 520 and Tecno phones of 1,400mAh batteries.
After some minutes, the car charger became warm as expected. My main focus was on verifying the quick charge performance of the QC3.0 port and the overall performance of the charger under maximum load.
The maximum power output of all the devices that I plugged was 31.5watts which is a far cry from the 54watts capacity of the car charger. Nevertheless, I was able to confirm that in 6:40 hours, the Xiaomi 20000mAh that was connected to the QC3.0 port was fully charged from 0% ~ 100%. This shows a slight impromenent over the 6:55 hours result that I obtained when I used a Blitzwolf QC2.0 charger to charge the same power bank (a marginal 20 minutes reduction in time). This therefore authenticates manufacturers claims that QC3.0 charger charges devices more efficiently than QC2.0 charger with a slight reduction charging duration.
Equally, the Power3S feature didn't dissapoint on the other 3 ports as each of the ports respectively charged connected devices at different rates simultaneously. When I tested the one of the Power3S port with my personal phone, it charged my Infinix Hot Note x551 with a 4,000mAh battery from 1% to 100% in 2:35 hours. This confirms that the Power3S intelligent charging featue is real and effective. The Power3S technology on the charger varies the charging current to match the current requirement of attached devices. This prevents overcharging and undercharging of batteries. This is the smart charging feature responsible for charging non Qualcomm QC compliant devices.

Verdict:
BlitzWolf® BW-C10 QC3.0 54W USB Car Charger lives up to expectation. The QC3.0 feature is real and the charger performance at maximum charging stage is satisfactory, as it does not drop in performance, although it understandably becomes sufficiently warm when in quick charge mode.

Suggestion for Future Improvement:
Since devices using MTK PumpExpress fast charge technology is equally widespread as Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology, more so, with the obvious reality that most users of phones with MTK fast charge feature usually have a big problem finding a replacement charger with satisfactory performance after the initial charger is lost or faulty; it becomes critical for phone accessories manufacturers to incorporate MTK fast charge feature in thier chargers such as this. Truly, there are many desperate buyers with cash at hand but unable to find a spare charger to buy.
Blitzwolf tends to have bias towards Qualcomm and Apple charging systems while overlooking Mediatek PumpExpress prominent market presence. According, Blitzwolf should blaze the trail by designing a charger that can provide optimum charge for Qualcomm Quick Charge, Apple and Mediatek Pumpexpress fast charge devices.

Acknowledgement: this is my honest and unbiased assesment and opinion from my evaluation copy from Blitzwolf.

Recommendation: this charger is a must - buy quality device for car owners. I have owned series of car chargers, but most didn't live up to expectation especially when I buy a new gadget, but with an intelligent charger such as this BlitzWolf® BW-C10 car charger, one is rest assured that any device plugged in would be appropriately charged and the good quality hardware assures that it will last many years while still retaining performance.

Pix 7: Outdoor snapshot using Leagoo Z1's 3mp camera

Leagoo is not a popular brand of phone in my part of the world. Nevertheless, I have been having a great deal of admiration for their phones since late 2014, when I first heard of their android phones. In particular, models such as Leagoo Lead 7 and Leagoo Shark 7 have exact features I greatly admire in a modern device. However, they are priced beyond my budget at the moment. More details about leagoo could be found on their website: http://www.leagoo.com/mobile/
I was actually attracted to Leagoo Z1 because of the minimal price and the fact that it is an android phone. Therefore, it served the day as an emergency purchase.

LEAGOO Z1
Z1 is an entry level android phone from that stable of Leagoo with entry level specifications targeted at budget and low income phone users desirous of playing at the minimum treshold of smartphones functionality.

geekbuying.com proven to me more than once to be in the habit of selling their phone with little markup. This makes them sell among the lowest priced online stores. I usually make price surveys among the popular online shops both locally and in China before buying.

SPECIFICATION:
Operating System: Android 5.1
Weight: 106g
CPU: MTK6580M
Rear Camera: 3.0 MP FF
Front Camera: 2.0 MP AF
Flash light: Yes ( but not very bright)
Display Size: 3.97"
SIM: Dual SIM dual standby
(1 Mini SIM + 1 Micro SIM)
Frequency: 2G and 3G
Others: GPS, Bluetooth, WIFI
Battery Capacity 1400mAh
Internal Memory: 4GB, 512MB RAM
External Memory: Micro SD card max 32GB

UNBOXING:
The pack came in a white polythene envelope. The weight was surprising very light to beguile the content of a box of phone with full accessories.
Tearing off the package revealed a pink coloured box.
Inside the box were:
* Phone (with battery inside)
* an earphone
* USB cable
* Charger
* Charger adapter (inserted as gift item)
* User manual & warranty form
The titanium ash colour of the phone appears very nice and inspiring. Outwardly, the front features, three buttons below the screen, these keys are not luminated!
The back reveals a polycarbonate cover with the speakers, camera and flashlight adorned conspicuously. The top part has mini USB port for charging and earphone port. The right side holds the volume control and power buttons; while the left side is left plain. The bottom side is fitted with the mouthpiece hole. The phone is very ergonomic and fits properly in the palm and pocket without fuss.
Inside, there are slots for two SIMs and micro SD card. One SIM is the regular micro SIM while the other port is provisioned for a mini SIM card. The back cover is not difficult to open.

EXPERIENCE GLEANED FROM USAGE
The processor is not bad, I have not encountered any noticeable lag in response, rather want I notice is that some applications requires touching on the precise point before response. I had this problem when I wanted to shut it down, only to later realise that I have to specifically touch the tip of the command arrow before it responded. This has added to my knowledge of touchscreen usage.
The cameras gives a low performance commensurate with the stated capacity of MP. I have attached illustrative photographs of snapshots :
(a) outdoor snapshot of my office backyard taken on the second floor of a building. Equally, I used my Infinix Hot Note X551 with a back camera of 8MP to snap a comparative picture in order to place both photographs side by side for close perusal. From the picture taken with Leagoo Z1 Camera, the grass on the field is evidently blurred, whereas the Infinix Hot Note camera could capture the fleld with decent clarity. The distance of the field to the camera is about 80 feets
(b) The camera's performance indoors has been attached beneath. The room has cross ventilation with sufficient illumination from both sunshine and bright electric bulbs. I would describe the indoor picture as not dissapointing as well.
Both photographs (indoor and outdoor ) were taken around past nine in the morning immediately after early rain. In my judgement: the phone is not a camera oriented device, so the camera optimisation and processing blends with my expectation for this device. It can handle moderate photographic task well at close range, but not suitable for snapshots beyond the range of 30 feets in order to obtain the best photography experience.
Battery: I must confess that although this is my initial experience with a Leagoo phone, I make bold to state that their battery technology is great. This phone came with a 1400mAh Li-ion battery that does not run down arbitrarily. Compared with my experience of having used Tecno T1, Tecno Phantom A+ and Infinix Hot, I hereby have reason to declare that Leagoo is appreciable good when it comes to the aspect of quality battery material and power management optimisation. On WiFi, I can browse for over 7 hours an opera mini.
Charging of the phone is very fast. It less than 2 hours, the battery was filled up from 1% to 100%.
Sound & Media: I played the FM radio from morning till evening, the signals reception is good, sound equalizing mix is equally good but the speaker is not loud enough when playing music.
Ringtones are few and neither melodious nor loud enough like the Tecno, Infinix, Samsung and other phones that are common here. As a matter of fact. I didn't find any single suitable notification tone for SMS and other applications from the inbuilt options that came with the phone. This I must admit, is peculiar with many phone brands from China.
Games: I actually didn't play any game on the phone. Intact I forgot and only remembered after I had sold the phone. Please gamers pardon me here, but I believe any game compatible with a 512mb android should play well with Z1.

CONCLUSION:
The phone serves it purpose as a budget device devoid of handsome storage, computing speed and photographic capabilities. I particularly liked the FM tuner software layout and moderate boot up time when the phone is switched on, invariably, I'll not hesitate recommending the phone to whosoever desires a budget device or as a present for someone. Since the parts may not be easily available at the meantime, I strongly recommends the fixture of a tempered screen and leather pouch to contain any impact of fall on the screen and other hardware.
For those interested in a higher specification phone, I'll suggest you go for Leagoo M5. It hold decent features embellished with Android 6, 8mp camera, 2GB/16GM Memory, 5" Screen and 2300mAh for ≤ $59.99
