I'm just a regular phone user, but about heading to school so I need a new smartphone that is excellent. Please note that I'm constrained to a budget.

Option 1:
Samsung galaxy S10 refurbished (160k) and Oraimo freepods pro (42k) = 202k

Or

Option 2:
Xiaomi redmi note 12 brand new (131k) and Xiaomi redmi buds 4 (30k) = 161k

Or

Option 3:
Samsung galaxy s20 brand new (190k) - I don't want to blow my budget so I won't be adding earbuds to this Option.

Please help me make a pick that's worth the value for money.

Would you recommend buying a carton galaxy s9+ for 118k in 2023?

I am presently using a Samsung and I must admit I am impressed.

All the Chinese models I used to be fond of in the past would be problematic at a point or the other.

Whats the ROM size??

BossGerald:


Whats the ROM size??

6GB RAM and 64GB ROM

Tyg3rFvry:


6GB RAM and 64GB ROM

S9+ got so many bad ass specs, you can give it a try.

But the battery...hmm

Just go get an iPhone bros and leave problems.

They're selling replacement batteries for s9+ on Jumia for #5000, and what if I also add a 20,000 mAH powerbank to the package?

To be frank I just need a phone with a mad display that can run social media and banking apps properly. I'm not a gamer. Although I love to customize my phone alot, it gives me joy to have a highly customizable phone.

I am now considering the s9+ (2018 phone) which is going for around 118k on Jumia, I don't know if it's brand new, do you recommend getting the phone, changing the battery and equally getting a 20,000 mAH powerbank?

My budget is thin so that I can buy earbuds with it for listening to music, if I should get the s9 plus for 118k then I will buy the oraimo freepods pro for 40k what do you think? Or should I leave the earbuds so I can add the money and get s10 instead?

It's out of my budget

I've always loved Samsung devices

Go for it

The phone has mad display, over 500ppi density...with that powerbank, it's good as perfect.

It makes sense to get the S10. Buy it because that's what really pleases you. Also, it's always best buying what you can comfortably afford. You can buy the airpods later

I have found out it never turns out well when you stretch a budget. I at the end of day always discover i never get value for money

Also, it's an investment in your happiness. Happiness boosts productivity.

Ensure you're buying them from a reputable seller.

Thanks my brother, someone on here was suggesting the galaxy s10 but that one costs 160k (certified renewed) and with that one I don't think I'll be getting the oraimo freepods pro earbuds as it would stretch my budget, that earbud costs 42k, what do you suggest, I need to make a choice quick so I can buy the phone soon and take the delivery before I travel to school.

S20 bro, or add 10k to collect Mi 11, or 20k and look for s21 deal.

Tyg3rFvry:

No bro, it's a bad deal. 90-95 is okay. Anything above get a s10e or s10.

A better option is note 9
115k -125k

If you don't get any of the phones you're looking for you can always go for the Camon 20 series.

He swore it's brand new, but I understand what you're saying because I fear buying a used phone for that amount.
