One thing you all are missing is,

1. these phones are not selling in Nigeria--you will have to take care of shipping cost and in some cases, custom charges
That's true.

But I know one or two nairalanders that will buy and ship to you @ a very low price.

jaysay:
2. you do not enjoy any after sales service once you buy them--you are on your own.
They do. The reason we don't ship them back is because of shipping cost and the stress involved.

jaysay:
3. These brands you are mentioning are not tried and tested.
The only brand of up there that I haven't used their product is Bluboo and I searched online to get other user's reviews b4 adding it in my list

jaysay:
What you should do is ship one of them, do a review and I will trust you more and probably buy one through you. But I will never ship a china phone into Nigeria myself and be on my own if there is a problem. I can through away my 30k or 50k.
I have reviewed products from xiaomi, meizu, elephone etc and I am still reviewing.

jaysay:
Else, I will buy the TECNO Camon C8 if I know I do not have 70k for the Phantom 5.
Tecno camon 8 is a good phone.

What necessitated this post if the high price of phantom 5.

Did you see me write camon c8 alternatives?

Another choice is the Umi Hammer S which has a 5.5'' HD screen, a fingerprint scanner, 2GB of RAM, 8MP rear camera and 5MP front facing camera, 16GB ROM, dual micro SIM slots, a SD card slot, a 3200mAh removable battery, USB type C, an IR blaster for controlling your electronics, and runs Android Lollipop 5.1 all for N38,000 (negotiable). You can check the thread below.

https://www.nairaland.com/2664197/brand-new-umi-hammer-sale#39592450

Or if you want something with a more popular brand name, you can settle for the ASUS Zenfone 2 which has 4GB of RAM and comes in either 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB.
Bro how much for the ASUS Zenfone 2 and do you have it for sale?

A good phone user does not need any repairs. Their phones don't breakdown, techno don't break down as well
what is this one talking about, phone does not need repair, which phone in this world that doesn't get faulty and need repairs? guy be reasonable and practical, he asked a sensible question, if the device gets faulty, how does it get fixed, where do you go to, hundreds of people everyday are at saka tinumbu, computer village, island and other repair points to fix all kinds of faults on their phones and you expect me not to ask before buying a device.

No it's not cheap but its value for money. And yes they do.

But I'm surprised when people ask if a brand has a service center. The big players don't even care about you. Apple doesn't have a service center, HTC doesn't, not even BlackBerry, and people buy their phones like crazy.
dude that cos parts are everywhere, we have blackberry branded shops in v/i, we have glo, mtn, airtel and co selling them to you, slot has in house repair guys to fix them if they get faulty, so unless these companies also sell these devices, they not the smartest buy

My guy, they are both good phones but the C8 looks basic next to the Phamtom 5, the 1st time i saw both next to each other, i was literally impressed with Tecno but the difference is hugs, the phamtom has a mature UI, looks like a real competitor, the build, the feel, i held it, checked the menus and the screen type, i knew then than tecno had arrived, the C8 is a fine phone no doubt but still on the infinit hot note and hot level, it screams mid range, even tho i feel 70k was rather high and i probably can't afford it for now but damn that phone merits it, it fast, it cabndle almost anything you throw at it, let's not beef but accept the fact.

What dyu mean , they are of the same company, are the ringtones not the same especially the one for sms, their batteries too.

I know the truth hurts but lets face it, infinix is another glorified chinko phone, whether u like it or not.

and your point is? just because you have never fixed, we should all follow your lead and buy phones with no after sales support and when it does get faulty, what should we do? and dude how old are you and are u in sec school, poly or uni cos u sound like someone with low intelligence to argue in that way, where more 30 million adults use phones you are saying because of you we should all buy, infact i rest it here... pissed angry

don't even talk about after sales service cuz the Tecno you talked about couldn't even fix the very popular multitasking problem of the camon c8 abi is that not part of the after sales service?

and what's up with the age thing na? You're the one with the low intelligence here who could not comprehend what the guy you quoted is saying... In simple English he's saying if people handle their phone carefully, there wouldn't be need to repair. Ive only repaired a phone once in my whole life and it's coz I slept off why I was chatting at night so I slept on the phone throughout the night and that is my fault. I've been using Jiayu s3 since February till date and trust me it's still values 30k plus coz of how I've been careful with it
