Not long ago I walked in on my very old model (not touchscreen) samsung cellphone and the screen was blacked out with this strange number; 0142A1F8 flashing continuosly on the screen. Till date I dont know what that was about. Anybody here does?

I'm torn between buying the Oppo Find X, and the Vivo Nex.

PS: Hmm... So "X" is now a thing in modern flagships. iPhone X, Galaxy X, Vivo NeX, Find X.

X means 10 in Roman Numerals sir

So it's possible then. Someone outside Nigeria calling someone in Nigeria with a Nigerian number?

What you are actually experiencing is something caused by the networks. It's a long history of telcos finding bottlenecks... If you want the long definition, you can send a number on WhatsApp to our number, and cc: Ralph.

So yes, the person is actually out of the country.

Nope...you're wrong about the bolded. I had someone currently living in the US call me with a Nigerian number a few days ago.

NaijaTechGuy But the phones you mentioned above are still Smartphones nah so smartphone is going no where anytime soon

I know, calling them beasts is just an expression. I believe we've gotten to the point where addressing them as mere smartphones will be a bit odd

Let’s face it, the world of smartphones has changed ultimately in the past couple of years and very soon our smartphones might just be tiny chips that display holographic images and have endless capabilities. I know you may be saying I’m talking about a scene from a sci-fi movie but be honest with yourself, everything you’re seeing today was once called sci-fi before it actually became real.

OPPO FIND X

One of the toughest and most competitive markets in the world is the smartphone market, companies are going to the extreme to outdo the other, breaking boundaries and setting new records. Samsung’s Note 7 debacle can be said to be an example of design gone wrong in an effort to outdo others in the market. It wasn’t an easy year for Samsung but it’s good to see they got back on their feet in no time

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 CONCEPT

Samsung started off with the idea of curving the displays of the smartphone and while we all were still mesmerized by the design of the S7, Xiaomi dropped a killer Mi Mix Smartphone to kick start the beginning of the bezel-less trend and every company jumped into the bandwagon. Near bezel-less displays brought the 16:9 aspect ratio display and increased screen to body ratio. This trend continued till Essential released a phone with a notch. They chose a circular notch; however, the notch didn’t become a trend till the Cupertino based tech giant, Apple decided to use the rectangular variant and also yanked off the classic 3.5mm headphone jack. 26 companies copied that notch design and the list keeps going on.

Crazy design ideas are coming up daily, from Google’s cancelled Project Ara to Motorolla’s modular smartphone and even foldable smartphones are now becoming a thing.

A quick look at ZTE’s Axon M confirms the beginning of foldable smartphones, something Samsung is still yet to release.

ZTE AXON M

Rumors say Samsung and LG are working of phones that can be wrapped round the hands like pieces of paper but I don't have substantial information to verify the claims yet.
The Chinese boys in the game have also stepped up their game. Vivo beat Apple and every other manufacturer to yank off the physical fingerprint scanner and place it below the screen. Although most of us didn’t really flow with Apple’s yanking off of the headphone jack, there’s something that sounds like music to my ears currently and it’s the front camera. Oppo yanked it off in the Find X and Vivo did the same in the Nex. However, selfies aren’t going away anytime soon so they’ve given us a full screen display and a camera that pops up when the camera is opened.

VIVO NEX

Although, there is reason for concern since it’s a moving part and it may fail but believe me we are in the future already and I can gladly say I’m happy to be part of the 21st century.
Nobody knows the special thing Samsung is cooking up for the Note 9 but I believe before then we would be hearing more from other companies

smartphone design is officially dead! undecided

Fukafuka:
More than POSSIBLE ! These days numbers Automatically roam in must countries ! And you can make calls if you have enough credit but at very expensive rate . Or you can just activate your WhatsApp on the number provided you can recieve text !

modelmike7:
Yes, but when you call the number from Nigeria, it will never connect, only if the number was roam!

He won't call Nigeria in the First place if the number isn't roaming... as long as you have enough call credit...

Your outgoing and incoming calls will always connect.

I know you are worried..but the truth is, service providers cloak international calls so as to pay less. I have pips abroad who call with different Nigerian numbers so I made enquiries and found out its the fault of our service providers. so not to worry.

Guys is it possible for someone outside Nigeria to use a Nigerian number?

Yes....

Same way someone in Nigeria can still use a Foreign Number...

NB:: Some times, due to Network error[s], a foreign number can sometimes appear as a local number....

Dead as a figure of speech not that it's dead literally. I could put up a post title like Smartphone Designs Are Getting Bad... Bad in that context doesn't mean they are getting worse it simply means they're improving drastically. So in this post "Dead" literally means that they're improving drastically. If you read the article you'd understand what I mean.
