Nah! I beg to disagree. Point to a better spec'ed device you can easily get at that price in Nigeria i.e.Get within few days of ordering. It's only the Redmi note 5 and 6 you can get with a little bit of added cash, and it will take a couple of weeks to get it.
I really don't have problem with waiting... That phone cost less than that on Aliexpress

I guess it all boils down to the user itself. Plus that device will be a little outdated by 2019 because so many series of phones will be released both from the Redmi series to the Mix series. This year alone, Xiaomi released about 5phones. Now next year, we are sure of having at least 5 more.

Now tell me, what position will Redmi 5 plus be by then?

This blind camera test by MKBHD really shows beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So many shockers.

Really subjective. One can see why people down here hail the camon series camera. Over saturated pictures are seen as good shots.

We have been using Xiaomi for years now, parts can be easily fixed here, have changed my screen twice now, parts are available on Aliexpress and other sites. No cause for alarm because phone is well built and hardly develops fault. If you need a separate SD card slot, then get the Redmi 6 pro/ MiA2 lite, or the Redmi S2.
Please does the redmi S2 support Glo 4g?

Did you watch his explanation at all?No where did he mention that the test was definitive. He gave a detailed explanation of why some pictures were chosen, this isn’t a test of which camera is great irl but to show you people don’t usual know the difference between a good and great pic.

FWIW it’s a good publicity for pocophone and they are already milking it.

Hello everyone, I just got xiaomi mi 8 lite today and will like to disposed my 5months old Tecno Camon x pro because I can't use both together. Please I will like to know the price I can sell it out and maybe any interested buyer in the house also. The phone is in good condition and good battery. Thanks for your response.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Maxcoded: 6:29pm On Dec 04, 2018
As much as I love this device, the build is what I hate. It's really getting too common this days. It's the same thing you will find in the Huawei Nova i3 and the nonsense phone tecno released about two weeks back

BTW, it's priced at $199

You might probably end up paying custom fees(that may rise to as much as 6k or more) and you will only be able to get the global rom model compared to the global version model you will be getting on jumia.
At the end of the day, it is still an okay device and another plus is the fact that it is still trendy and a good alternative to the notch carrying models flooding the market of recent.
At times the additional 5-7k might be difficult to squeeze out after you consider the fact that you will still need like 3k for accessories, if not, getting the Redmi note 5/6 is a better all round deal if the fund is available.

I have never had to pay custom fees more than N500 for all my orders in aliexpress... I got a phone worth 55k (Redmi 6 pro) around October from aliexpress and I paid only N300 to clear it

...and trust me, Redmi 5 plus won't be trendy again come 2019; ask Redmi Note 4 of 2017, he will tell you how far

Good evening guys, pls just need advise. My package landed today, tracked it on nipost site & seems it's on its way to iyana ipaja while I stay at Yaba. this is the first time it's happening to me with all they years I have been shopping on AliExpress

Just because you have not had to pay more than #500 doesn’t mean everyone will escape it, scotweezy has made valid points tbh. Was at the PO today and a guy was billed 12k for a Redmi Note 6 pro. There is no guarantee that you will not pay custom fee if you decide to buy a phone via Alixpress tomorrow.If the seller declares $20, you will cough out that money if custom nabs you.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Olodo24: 7:36pm On Dec 04, 2018
are there no upcoming phones? I don wait tire. All the ones I'm seeing seem outdated already.

what good phones should we expect? I mean something like the camon 11 but with Snapdragon. budget 60k.


anyone coming by January /February?

You speak as though you are physically went to customs to clear the cargo with 300 naira.

You were simply lucky that your package wasn't routed to customs. What you paid was nipost handling fee. Many people who ordered items in the past 4 weeks weren't that lucky. I'm quite sure you wouldn't be this assertive if you hard placed phone orders within the last few weeks.

A few weeks ago I had 3 phone package and all 3 were billed customs duty, the lowest being 4k.


I would advise you to mark the statement of yours so we can refer to it the day Nipost customs will decide to treat your file.
