Xiaomi is the brand referred to as the apple of China, although Huawei is like the biggest brand in China

So where do you put huawei that's the second largest manufacturer in the world after Samsung
Huawei has respect in China but Nigerians don't buy it coz they don't market it well here.

oga give us a detail list as to how zero 5 beats the uhans i8 am very curious to know except ma facts re wrong which dy re not cos zero 5 is still hyped and too expensive for mid range specs
CPU. Helio P25 doesn't come cheap coz it's a good midrange chipset. Uhans i8 uses 6750T

Check other phones that use the processor and their price
Uhans i8- https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/mediatek-mt6750t

Helio P25 - https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/mediatek-helio-p25-mt6757t

You would see that some are not in the same price class. Infinix Zero 5 takes full advantage of that P25 with the dual cameras and 6GB RAM.

It's Mi Mix 2 that should even be hyped. Snapdragon 835 same as S8, Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 XL.

Huawei is in the top 5 in that phone regard but Xiaomi is very very close. Xiaomi is the highest in sales i think.

If they execute that their new bezeless prototype well on their flagship, they would be in the top 5 in terms of phone hype.

hope you know that the MT6750T is still an hybrid cpu as the Helio P25 plus RAM optimization is wack on mtk chipset so a 6GB worth of RAM still performs same as 4GB RAM its all about perspective and view the uhans i8 utilizes the dual rear camera so well that it had a good fair share of awesome sales in India where the same Zero 5 is still marketed now i.e if samsung where to give u a smartphone with 6GB worth of RAM believe me u cant even compare it with a 4GB RAM device still made by Samsung cos they ve awesome RAM management system....Infinix Tecno n Itel re just using the advantage of African market to sell us smartphones at high rate as to when compared to other budget smartphones made by Chinese OEM out there.

Looking at growth is all about perspective. Sure, Apple, Samsung and Huawei are respectively spanking Xiaomi, shipping upwards to three times as much. But no other company in the top five (Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi) has grown so rapidly in the year.(from that website)

The website said it increased in sales,yes why won't it increase in sales when Samsung and others are almost saturated with little little growth every year. Good for them that they are challenging others it'll make a healthy competition.

Yh that's one thing, huawei doesn't market in Nigeria which is still making them unknown to most people but huawei is well known in telecommunication industry. Most Mifi, routers, etc are made by huawei.
One of my friends was arguing with me that dem tecno infinix and gionee are better than huawei grin

It's not, huawei surpassed apple to be second largest manufacturer, sold more than apple in first quarter of 2017. I hope you've seen the new huawei matebook X pro(a laptop) almost without bezels, slimmer than mac book, webcam's is on keyboard. I know Apple too wouldn't sit down and look huawei pass them.

If you're a macbook user you won't be comparing Mac to another device in terms of body coz the ish in Mac is the software. It's too sweet that macbook users can't return to windows.
Huawei can manufacture and sell more than Apple but their major competition is more from other Android brands than iOS. If that makes sense.

Of course in terms of brand power, huawei is in nearly every home around the world. TECNO and Infinix are in nearly every home where they target but they don't market in every part of the world. Only 3 continents. The fact that Nigerians love comparing them with bigger brands shows that they're doing very good in Nigeria.

My view of MTK processors is different now that I've experienced midrange snapdragon 625 SOC. Even if snapdragon handles games better, the difference is not that significant.

Rn I can tell you I haven't used any device that the ram management has blown me away how err, 2GB ram is just too bad in 2018, small periscope, it would be crashing after 10mins lol.

2GB ram is just too small for someone who wants to spend 50K+ on a phone in 2018.

You've seen the Infinix Hot S3 with Snapdragon yeah?

Camon CM is now 45K on Jumia

It's not the first SD phone. Hot 3 LTE had a snapdragon version, although i don't know if it ever sold in Nigeria.

You'd be paying extra fro the difference in specs between Hot S3 and CM coz they're not in the same price range.

Hey Guys,


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9UtAqm6ygs

This video review is for people contemplating buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X in 2018.

Here's a summary.

Yes you should buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X in 2018 because;

1: The specs, Snapdragon 625 CPU + Adreno 506 GPU is very efficient, Xiaomi even released it's successor the Redmi Note 5 in 2018 with the same processor(although people frowned at it)

2. Battery life. This phone is so thin so it's still a mystery how they managed to fit 4100mAh into such a slim device. It also lasts a really really long time. Check out my SOT screenshot and the amount of gaming i did on it.

3. Build quality. The aluminum body of the Redmi Note 4X looks and feels like a high end device in 2018.

4. Price. Name another device with these specs that come at the price you're getting the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (N60,000), I WOULD WAIT cool.
I had this shipped to my doorstep through African Express on Gearbest via this vendor - https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_621141.html?lkid=13185820 It took 24 days.

Extra tip. Camera isn't even half bad. It appears I won't be needing Gcam afterall.
Thanks for this.

I've handled note 4, it's just a smaller note 3.
Never seen uhans on anyone's hand. I know it won't have resale value just from hearing it but the koko is if it's as durable as Infinix.
