Seconded.
My friend bought it since April.
Till now the phone is as good as new( Both software and hardware)
It's cheaper now.
Yeah. Very good device I must say. And if one can afford like 15 - 20k more then one can go for Xiaomi Note 5 ai. That's one of the best phones below 100k

I have used a few infinix phones myself, they didn't live up to expectations. Repair time and frustration makes customers get chatty and in the process they tend to divulge information about the time the product was bought etc. Lots of friends and associates are using these brands and majority of them have a complaint or the other.
Okay. If that be the case then I can say I am part of the lucky few. grin

Lol. I was reading then decided to check again and luckily your mention just arrived so I replied immediately. Coincidentally, I was part of the first batch and the model is still running smoothly after three years. shocked grin

Function and quality, well, the list is endless but na wetin you know you know and my opinion might not be accurate but i think xiaomi, oppo, umidigi, leeco and huawei holds the top spots for affordable and qualitative functional smartphones.

umidigi one pro,A3 pro, redmi note 5 plus or 6A
i have looked up the phones and my heart is glued to the redmi 5 plus but checking d price, its quite expensive for me. I searched for it on jumia to get an idea of the price and found out that redmi 5 plus with 64gb internal storage is N68,000 while redmi 5 plus with 32gb internal storage is N58,000. Unfortunately as much as i love the phone, my budget is below the price but thank u anyways for ur suggestions, i appreciate.

Get a Xiaomi device, then u might come to understand why some people detest Infinix and co. The devil is in the details

Also, u can check The Xiaomi Thread on nairaland and see what people who used to like Tecno and Infinix so much are saying after using Xiaomi
Xiaomi is bae

No issues at all? Even with that joke of a battery?
The battery is the only con i see there.. But that is what made the phone very light and not heavy. I love it and besides, power isn't an issue in my area.

off topic!!! what affordable phones (under 60k) should we expect by January? it seems there aren't any announced phones yet.




I love infinix and pray they bring something better soon.

I agree with you. I'm wiser now, no more transsion holdings's devices for me ever again. My Camon X will be my last.
I will take Huawei phones over infinix or Tecno anyday anytime

It's on Jumia as the Nokia X5 (but its Nokia 5.1 Plus), it goes for around 49K

You sure you're not mistaking the price of the Nokia 6.1 Plus as that of Nokia 5.1 Plus. Check again...

Poor Screen Quality
Lack of Innovation
Poor Memory Management/OS Optimisation
Lack of Commitment to Software Upgrades. (They keep churning out devices forcing people to pay for OS upgrades without them knowing)
Poor Customer Service
Crappy SOCs
Too many Bloatwares




Should I go on? These things include Tecno and Itel
With all these they still top the market in Nigeria isn't this ironic?

True. The average Nigerian can't afford an iPhone. Infinix is then the best option.

Exactly! The vanity of showing that one is superior. Had I not used infinix, I might have seen it as substandard(as people put it) but I have used infinix and their is no sufficient need of mine that it hasn't met. Most people want iPhone not because they know it's abilities but because they want to show off. I don't buy phones for such reasons. If it's good, if it meets my needs and I can afford it, no problem.
Why all your nairaland screenshots dey color yellow? Na screen problem?

I don't get why people look down on infinix. Infinix is a very good and versatile android phone. I think people do this for the same reason they think a bread bought in shoprite is better than that but from their estate supermarket, it's purely psychological. I am not saying infinix is the best but it's very good and very durable as well.
Probably because many infinix phones have poor camera, faulty chargers and hotness.
