If you get money just go buy Iphone. (If you want I can sell you a used Iphone 4 (white 8gb) for 25k and you will also pay the posting costs) Send me a message if you are interested. |

gentlegenius:Totally not necessary @ d bolded anything between 1800 and 2k mah is ok. A big battery just makes a phone stupidly heavy and difficult to carry and also bulky. Just get a phone that consumes very little power. If nepa is your problem, invest in a very good powerbank of abt 20,000mah. Simple |

Gofwane: Go for lumia 640xl. Its one of the best windows phone out there.though it packs 1gb ram.The good news is that windows are both the manufacturer of the hardware n OS- software. so it works seamlessly. Just same way as Apple manufactures it own hard n soft ware for iphones. |

manopaka:thanks bro. I think i will settle for the lumia you just recommended. 1 Like |

seunoni34:you've a point. But if I get you right, do u mean the likes of Tecno, infinix, Letv, Gowin etc are of same quality with the likes of Samsung and iPhone but just sold cheaper? Is that what you meant? |

Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Meklex(m): 1:26pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Shabib:octacore is 8 in number and quad core is only 4... So octa over quad core... It will make your device as fast as usain bolt |

Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Meklex(m): 1:31pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Shabib:yea... Don't buy if the battery is below 4000mah |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by seunoni34(m): 1:33pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
RitzyPrince:Its based on the phone specs and what you need in the phone you want to buy. The higher the specifications(RAM, ROM, PROCESSOR,BATTERY) of a phone , the higher the price. Specs are measured in numbers and the numbers influence price. There are tecno phones that costs as much as high end samsung phones . There are huawei, vivo xplay,xaiomi, and leeco phones that costs far higher than samsung & iphone combined . And if you check their prices well you'll discover it was influenced by the specs. The problem with an average Nigerian phone buyer is that he doesnt even know what he needs in a phone , he just goes to the market and buy what's popular and complements his class and status then comes here to defend it blindly. We love popular stuffs here and we have the belief that the popular ones are the best (Undisputedly true though) . But that is never the case most times. Secondly, look at it this way, If you're a selfie/social media freak , then you need a phone with a higher front-camera, battery, strong network type (preferably 3.5g or 4g) and a high ROM(you can get tecno camon C9 although the battery is average & manageable ) . If you're a serial gamer , then you need a phone with a higher RAM and Processor with a long battery life (phones like gionee M5 plus was made for people like that cos it has 5050mah battery) . If you're a constant traveler , then you need a phone with a higher battery,high resolution camera and network strength .. and so on All these specs are there for a reason , thats why you'll hardly find a phone that has all specs in all , Some may have a super camera, ram , rom and 4G but have a 3000mah . Just know your needs and find which phone suits not just whats "popular". I love fast phones and I'm a software developer too , because I can be working on different apps at the same time on my phone and as such I will need a phone with a higher GB of RAM and processor to execute tasks faster, so I got a 3GB RAM, 2.2 GHz octa core processor phone (letv 1s) and the phone has never lagged or hanged for over the 6 months + that I've been using it. Infact the phone don dey tire me self (I can do almost every task in a flash). I'm not marketing , you can look the phone specs up for yourself. Lastly, When it comes to mobile phones "Quality" is measured in numbers not necessary price, you cant just look at a phone and conclude its quality just by brand name or price , I've been there , and as a software developer i know better. Infact ,What constitute the quality ? There has to be something, and that is where Specifications come in. All phone manufacturers put their specs online and if you're a tech person you'll know better when you see one that suits your needs. 1 Like |

Meklex: k. In general, infinix note2 x600 or gionee m5 mini? I asked someone here b4 but i just wanna seek different opinion |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Meklex(m): 1:42pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Shabib:I currently use m5 mini.... The only edge it has over x600 is the 2gb ram |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by seunoni34(m): 1:43pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
NigerianScholar: You said a big battery makes the phone stupidly heavy , and you're recommending a powerbank ? Is that not an extra weight on its own? My phone has a 3000mah battery and its lighter than iphone/samsung. Except you're using an iphone , any android phone below 3000mah in this time and age under this nepa condition is a no no. Infact if I see an affordable 4000mah now I'll gladly buy. 1 Like |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by seunoni34(m): 1:44pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
iphone and samsung phones hardly have more than 2500mah battery that is why I dont even recommend to anyone |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Shabib(m): 1:49pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Meklex: So, you're saying it's better than m5 mini? It has 2gb ram variant, though |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Nobody: 1:51pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
temmym4:Bro am not in any way lying. If you think am lying, you can google LG-G5 battery life & see what people are talking about it. I am dam serious about heavy usage & don't forget it run on android 6 which optimize batter & also on Qualcomm Snapdragon that is own by United States compare to Tecno L8plus that is run by MTK that is a Chinnesse. |

Shabib:gionee m5 mini don't have support like custom roms... Etc... Heard that it won't get update for marshmallow but the phone is a nice phone but I'd still go for x600 |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by seunoni34(m): 2:05pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
fados4sure:Oga Mediatek processors are made in Taiwan and your LG was manufactured in india the same country where Gionee & co are made too |

Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by seunoni34(m): 2:15pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Shabib: Ok seen, Its gonna be faster but with 6inch screen it will definitely drain its 4040mah battery earlier than gionee m5 mini will drain its 4000mah which is 5'inch screen. So @shabib the choice is yours . Do you go for longer battery life or clock speed ? |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Shabib(m): 2:20pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
seunoni34: thanks bro. I appreciate |

Meklex: is there no official thread for the m5 mini here on nairaland? |
Re: What Are The Top 5 Features One Should Consider Before Getting A New Phone by Nobody: 2:50pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
seunoni34:Oga my LG-G5 is made frm LG plant in South Korea. I did not dispute the fact that LG is not in India & secondly, check your source very well MTK is in Shenzen province in China & you may want to know that it is Taiwan that is making HTC yet, HTC prefer to go USA for their processor. #get-your-fact-right |
