Samsung phones with g70 processor are not 400k. If they are this superb with g70 processor and LCD screens, they will even be more superb when they use Samsung display and high end processor like they did.

Over the years Infinix has produced affordable quality phones. Now this begs the question is infinix not doing the greater good? Xiaomi phones have a lot of problems, no spare parts and are very expensive. But infinix phones are cheap , have no issues and the spare parts are everywhere. The discussion is open...
Y'all have to understand that every phone has it's strengths and weaknesses.
Transsion's main selling point in Africa is their after-sales service and the fact that they understand the African market.
Now, let me explain. Many of us here on Nairaland are old enough to remember when Tecno first started manufacturing Android cellphones (I think it's in 2012, when we had the Tecno N3. Who remembers that phone? wink ) I still recall Infinix's first phone, though, the Alpha (?)
What I'm trying to say is that it's all about brand recognition. Trust me, I know how good Xiaomi's phones are (damn, I can't wait to see the Mi Mix 4 or whatever they go'n be callin' it! ) but they have one big issue in Nigeria.
Some of you here are vehemently against Transsion (howdy, skywalker wink ; hi, sunshine smiley ; hey, where's drjprince?! sad ) and I perfectly understand. I've been on Nairaland as a guest since 2017, and I've been reading all your posts. I know firsthand how unimpressive Transsion's phones are, both spec-wise and through using them. For instance, I once used an itel A56. DAMN, THAT PHONE MADE ME HATE BLOATWARE! ALMOST 40 APPS PREINSTALLED ON A PHONE WITH .16GB of storage! And performance, even with Android Go, was bad for me , because stupid itel went to slap a heavy skin on top of an already light OS. I've also used Infinixes (Hot 4, Hot 5, Hot 7 Pro), Tecnos (Camon C8, Spark 4) and a Gionee (S10 Lite). Thanks to my budget, I couldn't get anything better. That S10 performed the best, but I had to sell it. (Damn brokeness). Currently into KaiOS, cuz I can't stand lag. Two seconds' keyboard delay can drive me insane grin. Haven't used a Xiaomi; the only one I've actually seen in the flesh was a Redmi 7A and I had to pinch myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming).
You see? Not many people I know even know what Xiaomi is (hell, they can't even pronounce it! grin). I've known Xiaomi ever since 2013, when surfing the web I stumbled upon the Redmi 2. If you go to a lot of stores in Nigeria, you hardly see anyone with them. In Ikorodu, where I live, I wanted to get the Redmi Note 5s, but no store there had it. I had to buy the Camon 8 as a stopgap but the staff at Demmy Global; damn, they wanted me to buy it and I urgently needed a phone. The phone's battery ended up swelling after eleven months. I guess it was my fault ( hey, I said I'm a power user, nein? I was playing PPSSPP and charging the damn thing all the time tongue). And on Jumia, they ain't goin' below #50K. You say Aliexpress but I don't wanna wait three weeks to get a phone that Jumia would deliver in four days. It's kind of like in the US; you wanna buy an LG or Xperia flagship, you gotta look for it. And how about servicing it? Repairpal? If I bought a Poco X3 (incredible value phone) and it so happens to fall (I'm a careful guy with phones that don't piss me off, but accidents do happen, yeah?) how am I gonna fix it? Order the screen from Aliexpress? I guess I could, but the average Sule doesn't want to go through all that stress just to fix a phone. That's why people left Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Phone. Wahala boku for dis kontri, why add to it?
TL:DR: I hope you understand. wink

To the person above.
Let me show you the type of rip off transion has done to you

Hot 10(Helio G70, HD and micro USB, 65k for the 3/64)

Redmi 9(Helio G80, FHD and type C USB, 67k for the 4/64)

You gave an honest view. That is the more reason many Nigerians are reluctant to switch to Xiaomi, Vivo and the rest

We've heard this tax of thing for a very long time. Can you for clarity sake post transion's tax remittance for at least a year?

You and I know the way all these organisations evade tax in this country. Now you are using tax as an excuse for mediocrity.

Why did transion move from Helio A22 and P22 to G70 as their new found love?

Have you not noticed that transion does not have proper record of their quarterly shipment of their phones?
Anyways, I am waiting for you to post their tax let's see.

Transion pays taxes to the government. Posting of their tax returns is not for public consumption since they are not listed on the Nigerian stock exchange

Don't want your time buying infinix phones ,their are not durable ,the build quality isn't much to write about ,and zero software update.

If you want to enjoy your money buy xiaomi phones even the one of 47k will still do magic.

Rubbish!!!

If you need a front flash to take a good selfie,then you are using RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!

The iphones,Xperias,Galaxy Notes,Galaxy Ss,Huawei Mates,MI Ultras..

How many of these use front flash?

Their selfies are so soft because the screen light is not really good.

What of night video calls??

I review phones
I am a Sammy user
But that guy made valid points.
