This is the most honest post on NL in recent time.

That lagging and hanging is same here on my Tecno Pop. Worst, I followed Tecno on Twitter, posts some screenshots of the issue, and asked if there could be a way out, but till now, no response not even acknowledgement.

I discovered that Tecno and Infinix phones are products of the same company. I give up on both phones.

The Pop is a low end phone. It was made for light users. And if you are a heavy user, you wont really enjoy it

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? ) 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 ; hi, sunshine ; hey, where's drjprince?! ) 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 . 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! ). 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 ). 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.

This so on point. I think Transsion understand what they want and how to get it and that is their strength

And what qualifies one as a heavy user? To check in to NL, Twitter, FB, and used as MODEM? Check this pics

Exactly.


Xiaomi replacement screen at Alaba is expensive, but it is original.

That of Tecno and Infinix are of very poor quality, reason why they are more affordable.

Boss, I need to replace my own xiaomi screen too..What is the price pls...

Feels Good to be back

Lol. Xiaomi even popular for naija pass Oppo and Vivo, plus Oppo and Vivo no send processing speed. Only Oppo can bring out Helio p95 device for 150k ... Even Tecno and infinix no heartless like them.

my addition is that it's crazy how my grandma hot 7 works, without turning data the phone hangs a bit but one data is on......the phone keyboard can lag for 6 months

that is uncommon. Have you tried to back up your important files and do a reset?

Xiaomi is world's number 3.
Xiaomi makes all classes of phones
Xiaomi services the global market
Xiaomi is in the class of Apple and Samsung
When it comes to android, it is Samsung/Xiaomi
Xiaomi has relatively cheaper phones

And someone wakes up to compare Xiaomi to Transsion?

How How do you people reason?

spot on, this is just what it is.
