I had to order this phone four times before I could get my hands on it. Is it worth all that stress?
The short answer is yes.
This is the best Android flagship killer of 2021 and there is so much more to discuss about it.

120Hz screen
Snapdragon 870 processor
Stereo speakers
AMOLED screen
and lot's more.

Will you give the Poco F3 a go?

Sure! The depreciation of the Naira continues which directly means that the price of things are going up

This country is so annoying! We can't even compete globally.
You will have money, see better deals and rubbish restrictions won't let you get it done.

I used my dollar account (Domicilary account) Dollar ATM card. That one doesn't have restrictions like Naira debit card.

Tell me about the bad experience...
I ordered this Poco F3 3 times and all problematic.
First one - after payment ($400) the Aliexpress app said your order will be shipped in 75 days. I literally went mad.
Cancelled the order the following day, waited another 4 days to get my payment processed back into my account.
Ordered again and this time, it was 65 days before order will be shipped. Had to cancel again and waited for the money to be processed back.
I ordered the 3rd time, it was shipped after two days.
A week later I recommended the seller to one naija guy I met on one Aliexpress seller telegram group.
He ordered and his order was shipped in 3 days.
Tracking was good and in 2 weeks tracking said it has entered destination country and that was the last update.
The guy I recommended (lives in Abuja) got his one two weeks after my first tracking updated my package has entered Nigeria.
I had to wait another 75 days to be able to open dispute. The seller was nice too. I won the dispute and After one week, I got my money back (for the third time)
And I still ordered POCO F3 and again...
This fourth one came in.
Here is the link to the fourth one store I purchased from:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtjTNsF

Attached is the tracking.
NB tracking still says it is still undergoing custom clearance... grin

No! Thankfully. However, it was opened by customs but maybe the person that checked didn't know the value.

I'm not really sure. But it should be within 10-30% of the phone's price

Can you kindly help me order one as well? I can't bypass the $100 limit, and barter by flutterwave is too expensive
