The plus sign means data saver is on. You can switch it off. Phone had your interest at heart and you didn't even know, that's why it called smart though

Yay knowledge is power. I don't know it what is for, no wonder some of the file's or video I will want to open will take forever. I will remove it, thanks how I do remove it please

Cloud storage is about the best option to go if you have plenty data to use.... Use Samsung account, if your next phone is going to be Samsung. Use Google drive if your next phone will most likely be Android.

Offline, you can use Titanium Backup, it backs up everything down to your sms, call history on your sdcard. This however is if your next phone is Android

If your next phone is an iPhone, then I suggest you keep your current phone till you buy it, as iPhones have this transfer thingy from any os to your new iPhone and it's quite comprehensive

Thank you for this valuable information, I will keep my phone, and see if i can work my magic, and let my bobo buy me iPhone.

In the quick drop-down you should find it there, if it isn't there, click on the edit button in the drop-down(the pencil icon) you'll find it there turned on.

S6 battery sucks, plus it gets very hot on high usage. I just got me a note 5 after selling my s6, note 5 Is way better..gonna stick with it for now.
S6 battery really sucks and the phone gets too hot.
The only time you enjoy it is when connected to wifi.

Switched to the s7 thinking the battery is awesome now i hear the s8 battery (same 3000mah) is much more better. Maybe i would swap this one soon

Note 5 battery is also 3000mah which is way better than s6, especially when you upgrade the OS to 7.0.

S8 durability issues wen it falls ehn..

All dis bezeless screen things can make screen break anyhow, me dat don't like using case for fones...

Dats how my LG G5 with all its military grade screen still broke on d highway while I was taking selfies tho it survived more dangerous falls before and still usable after d screen broke...

I have learnt my lesson with bezeless screens..

Waiting for xperia xz premium like dis..

Sony was my best smartphone, i used Sony phones more than any device i have used compared but i lost confidence on the company when i bought Z3 Compact.. i was so disappointed that i can use any Sony product again, but XZ premium would be a great buy if its built with aluminium and ofcus if u don't care about fat bezels

What is really happening to folks these days? 295k for a piece of garbage ain't worth it at all. As far as that phone with a pricetag of 295k or whatever, cannot cough out double or tripple dat amt of money, dat piece of shit is as good as useless. Mind you i can buy 3 of those without breaking a sweat.
Bottomline- e no worth am.

I got this Smartphone on same day it was launched in Nigeria...

Remember how i paid 190k on Galaxy S6 and nairaland wanted to skin me alive because i spent that kind of amount on a smartphone, well is worth it if you have the money and by God's grace have source of income.. Here is the quick story , i used the S6 almost 2 years, sold it ending 2016 in amount of 95k, bought Gioonee M5 71k to wait for the S8(waited almost 5 months for this phone) and still have 24k on hand after almost using the phone for a year and some many months (the phone even have a cracked screen and poor battery thats why i sold it) you can check the link i explained it ( https://www.nairaland.com/2495783/update-after-3-months-use#36515588 ) bottomline; Samsung and iphone have a huge advantage of resale value, even if i consider Iphones as a overpriced crap which add no value except show off crew, that's why web dictionary gave them "sheeple"

So, i sold the M5 2 days ago 48K and got the S8 295k on May 5th, because dollar was low, it was supposed to start around 350k... Enough of the ranting... let's get down to business... ask me anything about the S8 and i will respond..




Lemme summarise this beast; Its has the fastest processor on any android phone, leave what u see on the paper, its real, best camera in the market, tho it still confuses reviewers between Google Pixel and S8 which pack a better camera,the UI and notification system on S8 is perfect(top notch), it can't get any better currently,built is solid but expect a crack from high drops on flat land, that's why u need a case or Dbrand skin, the battery is good, better than S6 and S7 battery, even better on S8plus,it comfortably get u the whole day on standard use(Thanks to Samsung i got starter pack which i found fast Powerbank charger and case with screen guard inside) its small on hand but has a very large screen in the eye,crazy right, thanks to no bezels.. Water resistant is cool, tested it twice. charges faster than usain bolt...

Good morning sir. Please can i pm you? There is this urgent matter on my behalf i wish to let you know please.

so if he has the money for it he should buy a tecno or an itel simply because u feel 295k is too much for a phone ??
Did he complain to u that after he bought the phone he became bankrupt ??
What do u suggest he should do with his money that he earned??

Ur going to tell me the usual "help people" or "buy land"

Bottomline -if u have the money do with it as u please

It's a very solid phone besides the battery life. But I suggest he should buy S6 edge plus or either of the s7 brothers

You cant consider the cam to be better simply cos it's dual and more ram doesn't change anything. Hope you enjoy your Xiaomi mi6
