I feel soo sad, first time I'm losing a personal property like this. I don't just know If the police will be efficient and reliable, I don't want to waste my money and most importantly my time.

.
If its some random criminal you met in some high way or something, then the police should be on the know. But if not, then you should weigh your decisions wisely. My area now is controlled by cultists who happened to be indigenes too. Reporting them and arresting them will only worsen one's security. Its that bad..
.
I have this thing with me that God will always give me the resources to always get a better one because I know my hands are clean.
.
I sincerely wish you the best.

2kurupt:
Tel em. Even with the right speeds the guy has to be on his phone ALL day i.e. 24 whole hours.

How practicable is that?

.
Do you know what is 1tb? That must be damn reckless. Even when it's free you take 2tb? No conscience at all..

kenomobola:
Sorry for losing your phones like that, it is painful. However, please do as 2Kurupt said, report those animals, don't unwittingly become a benefactor to a bunch of disgusting people. If they steal from you once, they can steal from you twice, if you keep quiet.

.
I rather fortified my house. These are cultists, they always come back to haunt those who hunt them..
.
For me to reach that conclusion, then know that it's for the best.

Marvel1206:
Just got my Redmi note 7 yesterday via Jumia

Even a die-hard iPhone user was jawdropped

.
Welcome to the world were everything is possible.. Enjoy

elantraceey:
Hey guys, I was attacked last night and my phone was taken, please how do I lock it? Find my device is on and I have my details.

.
Same with me. I was attacked too.. Lost my mi max 3 and note 5. It was really sad. I don't really want to go to the police because the culprits came to my house and did it.. That means they know me personally.. Its no random target.
.
I wish you the best...

Thebwoy:
do all these warranty stuff actually work in Nigeria ?

.
With Samsung, it does. But it doesn't cover broken screen..

Easy guys. You are making my a30 look inferior. Just chill guys. All we want is neutrality and we mustnt allow personal opinions lead to degrading samsung brands we prefer less and don't even have..
.
I own an A30
.
I own a mi max 3
.
I must confess that Redmi Note 7 is a better buy if you are looking at versatility, speed, better camera modes and overall beauty.
.
Samsung a30 is a step up of Samsung midrangers and has a cruising infinity display, a wonderful battery life (which bested my redmi note 5), a lovely user interface and the camera isn't bad either. It has better deals of warranty than the redmi here in Nigeria.
.
Both almost have same marched processor with SD getting an upper hand (which is only noticeable in playing high graphic games
.
Both have 4gb ram
Both have 64gb variant
Both have 4000 mah battery
.
With all these similarities, I wonder why some say they are incomparable.
.
Nothing wrong in laying it neutral and allow the buyer make his choice. We know some love the great ips screens. Well, k20 ain't stupid using their amelods as selling points and when you use Samsung ordinary amelod display in the a30, you will know why..
.

lilclin:
This complaints about rn7 battery is becoming alarming o

.
I even enjoy more battery life on my Samsung A30 than I did with my RN5. I don't know about RN7 but I think the complain is becoming something to take note of.

Troublemaker101:
Actually ZTE was the cause of their ban... They were guilty of exporting US tech to Iran and North Korea illegally hence their deserved ban.. They were never really a threat to many phone brands,but huawei on the other hand isn't guilty of anything we know of yet and they are in constant competition with Apple-USA's main phone brand (Samsung is South Korean) and have even surpassed Apple in some markets eg: China, Apple doesn't make midrange phones, so xiaomi ain't a threat to them

.
That's correct but the fact is allegation can spring up from anywhere and these days, Chinese companies are becoming a target. Maybe this may signal the birth of a new OS or birth of European or African countries.. No one really knows. What is known is that the war is real and huawei has become latest victim..

2kurupt:
You're correct but I can't help but notice your pessimism
Am sure China must have preempted such a move and will be ready to the task.

On the bright side it's during these kinda tussles that tech firms before more innovative

.
Pessimism cannot be ruled out but I'm just being more of a realist than an optimist. Realists hope for the best but plan for the worse. Nothing disturbed me like the Trump effect but its time to start adjusting. I will keep buying max series but the other phone will be a non-China brand and hope the war is over soonest...

genius43:
The fight is data breach, Huawei supplies most of the 4G equipments used in the USA and they are also at fore front for the Emerging 5G tech. Now US are accusing Huawei of been used by the Chinese government to spy on the US.

.
Lol, exactly why I call it the Trump effect. Because up till now, there are no proof to back up the US allegation. Trump is just obsessed with the Eastern Giant progress...
.

Betmaster3:
Time to unfollow this thread. All of you that have derailed this thread are Mad. Mad people

.
No one really cares if you leave. What is happening here is actually normal and not alien...
.
Go to Gsm arena review sections and see worse.. IPhone vs Samsung fans. Samsung vs China brand fans etc. If you are wise enough, you learn one or two from them.
.
If this thread is not challenged, defended, then it will die a quicker death..
.
And with xiaomi, there's lot to defend... Winks..

2kurupt:
Point of correction; Huawei has an official presence in the US. They've massive stronghold on the telecommunications infrastructure market across the globe, the US inclusive. Huawei currently are in the front row in 5G deployment ahead of others.

This whole Trump ish goes just beyond smartphones you know? The US is probably afraid that China will dominate the 5G telecoms infrastructure before their own companies are ready.

Back to your earlier discussion. I believe Chinese firms without official presence in the US would be the least of Trump's headache.

.
You could be right. I mean there's a whole lot of information I really not certain of but I know huawei doesn't have a phone presence in the US. I cannot say for other components produced by huawei.
.
I also agree with you that this is about dominance between two superpowers. I think I made it clear why buying a Samsung set might be the safest now, even if its not the best.
.
So there's that fear that once huawei is dealt with, other prominent Chinese companies like our beloved xiaomi might be affected..
.

genius43:
Let's watch how it plays out, for now Xiaomi don't have an official presence in the US

.
Yes, you are right. Same was Huawei. Huawei didn't have an official presence in the US. However fact is they use American softwares which android is one. Once the US sees that as a threat, then there comes the problem. It's really unfortunate but it's real. It's time to start considering LG, Lenovo (because of Motorola), Samsung and a few others just in case..
.

Troublemaker101:
We shouldn't except the Trump effect to hit xiaomi anytime soon as they singlehandedly rule the midrange market and are not top contenders in the flagship market like huawei was ... Yet

.
I understand same was ZTE which focused on mid-range but yet got the Trump effect. Fact is Trump's administration don't want a competition were the US comes second, flagship or not.
.
Truth is we are looking at a very uncertain future. Whether it's a birth of a new os or the emergence of new companies, only time will tell...

genius43:
The fight will steal affect Samsung, because at the end of the day their country have to pick a side which we have ripple effects both ways

..
I'm afraid not. Samsung isn't Chinese, its South Korean which happens to be an allied country. This is why going with Samsung may not be the best but safest option.

ElvisMcCoy:
Is that a thing now? The Trump effect?

.
My brother, the two superpowers are at war now. Its better you don't become the grass when elephants fight. So staying with a safer product is something to consider now..
.
The Trump effect is real and not so good..

iCauseTrouble:
But how good is the Redmi Note 7? Planning to go for Samsung A30 before

.
RN7 is better..
.
Has slightly better processor
Has better design
Has an IR blaster
Has slightly better camera.
Has 4k and slow motion mode
Offer better security (app blocking, double space etc)
.
Both are good in battery
Both have 4gb and 64gb variants
.
A30 is better if you consider the following:
Has better display
Has better call audio quality
Get about free100gb of onedrive
A30 one UI is better than miui (my opinion)
Warranty for about 2 years (that does not cover broken screen oo)
And most importantly the Trump effect. If it can happen to Huawei, it can happen to any other Chinese company. So you don't wake one day and nothing android works on your set anymore..

Sammy1973:
Even A30 which is superior to A20 is not a match for RN7. I am using both phones right now. If you don't like the notch on the RN7 you can always hide it, there is a provision for it in settings.

.
A30 can match it, but RN7 is better. I just bought an A30 and I'm quite impressed with the battery, the display, audio and video qualities. Yes, RN7 has slightly better cameras, can access Gcam and has IR blaster..
.
We should be happy companies are beginning to give us real value for our money esp in the mid range tiers..
.
Also look up for galaxy A40S... Nice piece too..

Trump should stop this. If China should survive this, the US won't have anymore on them. This is just Trump's jealousy and nothing more.
.
Anyway, if this should continue, most Chinese phones will be affected. Huawei is just a test dose. At least Samsung is becoming price competitive. I hope it gets better...

ennyhola:
Okay, the kinda work I do.

You get high paying job based on the device you use (how expensive it is)

Who would wanna trust a 40k phone user with a 1M job?


The issue is that, REDMI hyped the phone so Much in Nigeria and once everybody sees the phone on me they be like "is this not that 50k redmi?"

When I go to seal a job.. Would you give your brand job to someone using a 110k phone or someone using a 40k phone?

I got more jobs when I looked expensive than when I looked calm

.
Maybe you should learn how to sell what you have.
.
It's not how expensive but how effective. You should also do your research to find out why redmi note 7 pro is not same price with redmi 7. Check the kind of screen resolution, check the ram and storage, check the processor power ring them.
.
Truth now is almost all Android phones are powerful. So also getting the best of value might convince your customers you be prudent with their resources..

sleekier:
Pls... I tracked my package from Aliexpress dis morning and got this message.
Pls, does it mean my package is in Nigeria already?

.
It means your package has left China but yet to get to Nigeria..

olayinkajnr:
The phone is out of stock bro

.
Why NA!!!

Osyxcel:
RN7P is more powerful especially because of the GPU, while the A50 should be better in terms of efficiency. A gamer should pick the RN7P, while someone interested in all round performance should probably pick the A50. The camera on the RN7P should do better than A50, but then software optimization is really important and could make a difference. Mind you, A50 uses a wide angle sensor, an extra one for ultrawide angle, then the depth sensor and they all have smaller apertures compared to the RN7P with only one secondary depth sensing camera.

In terms of screen, no need for comparison, A50 tops easily. I'm terms of power, the results should be similar although the CPU on A50 tend to be slightly more power efficient. Software optimization will play a big role here.

My opinion. I'll still pick the A50 over RN7P. Amoled is sweet.

.
Oga, everybody is waking up in the midrange department. Samsung A50 is a sweet device and I'm afraid it's better than RN7.
.
Both are cool devices but one is better..
.
In as much we love xiaomi, I wouldn't want us doing the blind arguments, techno and other minions do when they are bested. We are talking of samsung here, world largest producer of smart phones..

macbeyland:
why wait for jumia wen you can get it here with Freebies sef.

.
Lol, not about me. Many if my people will only buy when they see it on jumia

henry007:
Finally reviewed the Redmi Note 7


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKF8rCSpETY

.
Do we have the 128gb version on jumia?

CityNGR:
My Redmi 7 arrived in glowing colours... I am grateful to escape the claws of unscrupulous umidigi proponents... I said no to hotplates as phone despite the lexus430gs evangelical theatrics.

Time to retire the legendary Redmi 2

Na small thing you use excape pressing iron oo..

For those looking for good phones to buy in flagship segment..

acekid109:
the way the thread is turning out lately hasn't been encouraging, it's kinda defeating it's purpose, everyday it's one argument or the other. I hope the mods look into this also.

.
I can only agree if we should watch the language we use when arguing but there isn't anything wrong in engaging in sound arguments. In fact in my school then, my teachers would always tell us to question and argue everything. Education makes us both radicals and rational. Logic only increases when you engage it. As long as our arguments can be backed by proves then no knowledge is a waste.
.
Some people actually know today that android controls over 80% of Phone OS in the world.
.
Many wouldnt know that games on pc are far better than games on consoles.
.
It was here and through argument I knew that SSD drive is better than Hdd drive.
.
Here too from an argument I heard the Google camera is better than default xiaomi camera.
.
The mod should only control the choice of words used during arguments without limiting discussions. Me I'm a convert too. I was a gionee fanatic and team mediatek. Mi changed all that and I'm still learning and willing to accept the next paradigm shift...

messymelly:
dude you got it wrong, apple, Sam sale more phones than Xiaomi .
oppo, Sam,vivo,apple are all better than Xiaomi .
let's be honest ng Xiaomi fans bashes other brands and rates Xiaomi above Sam,apple,oppo with out any concrete proofs.
mind you Sam was making only flagship phones before they started making mid range phones .

tell your self the truth is Xiaomi flagships affordable or can Xiaomi flagship compared to likes of Sam,oppo.
Samsung makes phone with 4k ultra display, dynamic amoled display ,infinity u display, 1T,12gb ram and other amazing features .
is mi 9 affordable or is mi 9 better than s10 .
get my point I never said Xiaomi is a bad brand it's their ng fans that bashes other brands like techno , infinix ,umi,Sam,iPhone,oppo etc.
I personally do prefer console to PC gaming

.
Samsung and xiaomi are not mates and I don't think anyone should argue that unless blind followers. Xiaomi bashing other brands might be both selective and defensive and that is because this is a xiaomi thread. We know how many times tecno and infinix fans have come here attacking the xiaomi. In that case we had to let them see the light.
.
Xiaomi as a product came with a unique concept.
.
1. To mid range phones with price value. They have done that well. Samsung is great in flagships but give so much price value for so little. I mean look at their J series. Take your time go through this review and the comments, you would understand why xiaomi is gaining where samsung is losing.

.

Samsung mid rangers tend to be very expensive compared to xiaomi without offering you the value worth. Xiaomi even though they have flagships, it's still not as expensive as what you get with Samsung. So people who want to be prudent with spending buy from them especially when differential improvements is either negligible or forgivable looking at the price point.
.
I mean look at poco f1 and look at its price.
Huawei, oppo one plus one, vivo are all competing in the flagship segments with Sammy and apple, but when it come to value for price of money, xiaomi wins. And to say they make better phones than xiaomi is a bit ambiguous because if we take a look at mid range where xiaomi focuses on, it beats them all.
.
Well its changing now. Realme and huawei y series are coming up and HMD with Nokia branding is making waves too. I think xiaomi is making all companies to put more in mid range at an attractive point.

messymelly:
hahahahaha Xiaomi fans think they know everything
haha gtx 620m, 720m is playing ps3 games talk more of 980m 8gb dedicated mtchew
I'm leaving this thread guys here are toxic

.
Construct your argument in a pleasant manner and such will be accorded to you..
.
I mean you said apple sales is 60% and Samsung 20%. You may not know but that was rude of you. It shows you wake up in the morning and assumed the world with over 7 billion people is shaped by your mere thought.
.
I know little about crossovers in gaming world but I think each niche has their own games. Android have their own games, ios have theirs too. And don't you think ps3 is a bit dated now? We are talking of the witcher:wild hunt, assassins creed origins, assassins creed odyssey, god of war ps4, spiderman ps4, shadow of war, final fantasy 15, Royal edition and the list continues. Personally I own a console and free my phones that multi-tasking. And yes, playing on pc is better than on consoles. Pc versions have better graphics but like I said, I play on consoles..
.
Me personally I hate an iPhone. Nothing about iPhone please me. In fact, I rather use a tecno phone than use iPhone. This is not about the money but about my taste. And 88% of phone users agree with me.
.
I see a dim future for iPhone. Their declines is going from bad to worse. I liked it when they embraced the larger screens and outed the plus series. They should also swallow their pride and do android versions of the iPhone before the Nokia nemesis befalls on them.
.
Below is glimpse of how android has dominated the market share and this was before the great apple flop early this year..
