So earlier this year around March I went broke and all hopes to purchase a good Samsung phone went with the wind as I was left with no choice than to buy a very cheap Mobile.

My girlfriend then(ex) was using Itel 1408 which she bought for 17000 naira so I thought instead of getting a used Tecno or Infinix of about 20k, lemme kukuma buy new phone ahbi. So I went to a reputable phone store at Ikorodu and purchased the same mobile for 17500 naira, not bad I was finally happy I had to do away with WhatsApp on my PC that kept draining my battery cause of the many apps needed to run it.

Fast forward to that evening, well I didn't expect much of a 17500 android phone but I got more than I bargained for. That evening when I plugged in the mobile to charge at home, it took forever to move from 66% to 67, that was when I knew I had bought wahala with my own money.

I tried complaining only to find out later that almost all Itel phones had the 'slow charge' ish, but come on, 6hours to charge a phone?? That ain't cool. That 6hours would charge at least 3laptops with one charger.

Now the ram is 512 and it can't power two apps without lagging. I used a tecno p5 before which had same 512 ram and it could power at least 4-5 apps successfully except when I'm running a battery saver app which I deleted after I realized the battery saver was killing my phone's performance.

This phone isn't up to year old oh and it restarts by itself. At times I'll be the one to switch it back on. Imagine you need to make an important call or you're on an important chat and your phone decides to go OFF and then uses another 10 minutes to restarts because of some 'app optimization' nonsense! Yuck!

I love listening to the radio but I can't use the phone I purchased with my own money, my personal money! Wanna know why? The phone has a bad radio reception and I have to keep borrowing my mum's Nokia phone of 12k to listen to the radio, imagine!.

The phone can hot like the sun in the North eh.

Resolution: This is my last chinko abeg, if you have cash wahala better save up to buy a better product or buy a used phone from a good brand.

That amount could have been used in buying either Oukitel c4 or Alcatel pixie

I have seen people complain about almost every brand of Phone sold in Nigeria. Infact I read a mail I usually received from a US new blog on how a brand new iPhone 8 battery got swollen after charging.
There will always be a certain percentage of a product with factory default,that's why there is something called warranty.
But one thing you are right about is itel's phone charger. It's always so poor,takes long time to charge a phone than usual. Itep P51 has 5000 mah battery but the charger quality is too poor,just looking at it you will know.Its so small and light. Even the USB cable cannot transfer data,just for charging.
