Hello everyone, especially phone experts.
I'm currently in need of nice ideas in this confused state. I want to get an iphone 6+, So I went on to jumia to search for a refurbished one(saw a lot of offers at around 47k which is still friendly to my budget). My main wahala is that I don't want to get a fake phone in the name of refurbished, also if I get it in a shop as uk used I'm afraid it may be a stolen one as this happens too. Should I still buy it? Your advice and recommendations will go a long way. Taink you.

you will not get fake or stolen phone from jumia, other sources, I can't guarantee.

Forget about buying refurbished online, don't even think about it. Go for UK used, there are alots of certified dealers in Ikeja that sells with warranty. Awoof dey ruin belle abeg.. 6plus 47k. ( It depends on variants though.. 16, 32, 64 or 128). Habah.. too cheap oo. Though a friend bought 6s plus 70k last week Monday. Note. 6s plus is more advancedl. it has 2gb ram while 6plus has 1gb.

With that amount you can buy a clean LG V30 or LG G6

It's 16gb(the refurbished) and I've even seen the 6s plus (london used) offers for as low as 62k but I don't have more than 50k and yet I stay in Jos. And again please, what's the main hassle with refurbished iPhones?

Because they are great phone makers and you are listening to crappy hype of Samsung and iPhone users

Dude Google lg v30 you will see the specs naa

Never buy a refurbished product.
You'll live to regret it after a week of usage.

Refurbished is a not a phone you can buy if you don't want to open a thread like one of your jos brothers too
Refurbished are phones that are factory defects or faulty and repaired either Manufacturers or sellers. It could also be those phones they used for display in a mall ( Very Rare). But refurbished are mainly repaired phones.open this link for details

The 6 plus is NOT WORTH IT in this 2020..you will want to sell it again in the next one to two months believe me...get the 6s plus at least...that is the main advise I can offer you.

Look for another phone, maybe an android...or just be patient and wait for a good deal...Trust me, I've gone through these models and I can tell you that you won't really enjoy the 6 plus right now...the apps on IPhones have become more ram intensive and your 6 plus 1 gb ram won't cut it.

Thanks for the mention.

I am not really an iPhone fan sha but you can just look of for cool deals on some thread.

Just take your time and make decision based on what you can afford.

ps.Wait for the end of lockdown and allow items enter nigeria,you might see items of your budget that are direct UK used.

just chill don't rush....

I grab, Thanks.

Save up more cash for 6s plus or if you must a 6s. They still receive updates from Apple

iOS 13 and 3D Touch is worth the extra cash. Above all, don’t buy 16gb o. E get why
