I helped someone to get one from Jumia and I really loved the small size. You can easily use it with one hand. I promised myself that my next phone must be smaller than my current one(RN5).

Hello guys, I want to order a Xiaomi phone (from Aliexpress) today for my cousin, but I'm a little bit scared because of shipping delays & delivery due to the Chinese New year holidays. So pls I some advice: Should I go on or should I wait until it's over? Thanks.
I'll advise you quickly place the order now while the Chinese holiday is yet to kickoff, so that the seller ships before winding down for the holiday. Waiting time should likely be within 21 days timeframe for non-expedited shipping.

Alternatively you can patronize any of our sellers here if you can't afford to wait.

lanre316:


Don't risk it, except you're an aggressive risk taker. But if not, just wait till the next 3 weeks. Their holiday would have been over.
That delayed shipping warning has been there since early December. The congested shipping period is getting past so no deal there

Infinix Smart is Android Go 16gb Rom 1gb Ram with finger print bought it for 33k about a monrh ago

If Redmi Go will offer same Rom size for lesser amount then they can be talking of compete

If u want to compete give dem 2gb ram Phone for the price Transsion is selling 1gb and push different designs and model into d market.

Unless Samsung did that, they can take over but as for a brand that majority of Nigerians haven't heard of, they cannot touch Transsion market share even with twice the RAM and processing power for the same price, not without some god-like marketing strategy.

sure no easy penetration here but good feasibility study is key, xiaomi seem to be doing that based on the redmi philosophy (from what I'm seeing so far). The under 30k segment will be key to them as well and I belive they know that as well, the redmi series and the go series will surely cover that while the note series will focus on the above 40k segment.
Regarding oppo, that has always been their way, mediocre specs at exorbitant prices, bringing realme here would have been a better decision.
2019 looking interesting already wink

They better bring devices at all price points + service centers at the same time so the fans(who bought online) can help spread the word. If they only bring the Redmi Go and skip out on the rest, even their small fan base are less likely to sing praises about it.

And for ur info 6580 is a 3g Soc and not LTE

Infinix Smart for 33k is LTE enable that will make it MT6739.

Let's see how xiaomi will sell 1gb Ram 16gb Rom for lesser dan 33k price

To take over is more dan just pushing ur phone into d market. Are dey ready to do d work?

E.g take Xiaomi india as a case study. Work work work

Dat means investment for d country, dat means Jobs Jobs Jobs

They usually close down a week or two before the new year holidays.

Why not contact sellers here. What device do you want?
Costlier to buy from touts in my own opinion. Safer tho. Custom duties is the only problem.

I think you are mixing this up, Infinix smart is MTK6580 maybe you are referring to the Infinix smart 2 or whatever.

How time flies when Transsion was trashed on dis street for still producing 1gb and 8gb rom phones

In 2019 Xiaomi is joining d game of d obsolete 1gb ram family

Lesson- don't be too quick to pass judgement,who would hav expected Xiaomi would be doing such dis year.

I stand to be corrected a 1Gb Ram 16gb Rom 5.5 inch LTE device can not sell lesser dan 33k in Nigeria market

When we even know dat Sd is far more expensive dan MTK.

It is not rocket science

I believe even Letv offers more spec for cheap rather than same spec range with Transsion for lesser d price

Lets see how d game goes

Infinix Smart 2 33k

Like i said d 33k price is for d LTE variant of Smart (2) which is MT6739 Soc 5.5inch

Infinix Smart 28-29k

D MT6580 is for d Smart which is between
28-29k and it is a 3g Soc, 5.0 inch

Get that Floveme baba, you won't regret it. Fast charge is normal, forget that part of battery getting spoilt. The feature is there and meant to be used. You won't tell me that if you have the Mi Power bank with QC, u won't charge your device again because of the fear or quick charge spoiling your battery.

Why purchase a 1GB ram phone with such kind of GPU for 33k when 2GB RAM Redmi 6A with Helio A22 goes for roughly the same price
