Can't I use numerous phones again?

So you use xiaomi, infinix and samsung at the same time?

ULSHERLAN:


People buy what they can afford. That’s the truth and that’s fine. A 75k Samsung is really substandard tho. You can buy other brands instead

A 75k Samsung phone is substandard I'm not sure you have sense.

When I'm using my infinix to call U ,will it display "Substandard on Ur screen" Iberiberism.

SEGLIZ:

God continue to bless you bro.
my wife uses Camon CX, going into 3 years if not 3 years already. it took me a lot to convince her them, she's never regretted it.
if a device is serving it purpose why cry foul? what and spec we all search for defers. why buy phone with spec you don't need? my wife needed a phone with good camera at affordable price CX was the best then from my reach, the likes of samsung were out of range.
inferiority complex is affecting a lot individuals.

Exactly! The poster just want to spoil the image of tecno that is all

What they use there is not important. What's important is what we can afford here by majority. You now expect an average poor Nigerian who needs to make savings for months B4 gathering up to 25k for a tecno pop2 to go buy Apple phone abi?
Above, I'm sure we have all those expensive brands in Nigeria for those who can afford.

Talking about standard, hmmmm... This our government that's struggling to live up basic expectation is not expected to rise to such occasion of controlling what standard is imported by our greedy importers.

Ekemeze:


Imagine your type becoming the president of Nigeria, you wouldn't change a thing. Nigeria would remain in her deep shit throughout your tenure.

Don't you feel weird defending mediocrity?

I'm not advocating for xiaomi, I'm talking about Nigeria allowing substandard products into the country.

Only God knows what the organizations in charge such as SON have been doing all this while concerning this.

iTroll:

Yep. Xiaomi note 8 doesn't snap well at night

Ekemeze:


I blame myself for not making proper research before buying this phone I'm using now.

and y'all should stop believing that "tecno is cheap and that is what I could afford"
I'm using 75k tecno. That amount can also afford samsung, redmi and oppo.

oppo As5 of 47k is far better than that your 75k tecno

They aren't forcing you to buy theses phones u mentioned.. They came into Nigerian market with what they know the majority can afford.. Mind u b4 these products came into Nigeria we were been exploited.. Nokia Symbian products with specs that's more like that of a torchlight phones were sold at exorbitant rates, now they're trying to do catch up in the African market after seeing how infinix and Co have taken over. If you can afford iPhone go for it.. Its a free market... But these phones you're criticizing has done more good than harm to us Nigerians.

For your information, I am using NOKIA, My Brother uses Samsung.. People buy Infinix and Techno because they are cool with it..

I'm So Pained Right Now After Discovering This

I can't lie, It hurt so much to discover that Tecno, Infinix and Itel are not even used in China where there are produced.

check this out:
IN CHINA
"1. 35% of chinese are using Hauwei.

2. 19% of chinese are using Vivo.

3. 18% are using oppo

4. 12% are using "Xiaomi"

5. 9% are using Apple.

IN THE USA

60% of Americans are using iphones(apple).

The rest are using, Sony, Samsung, google pixel, Nokia, xiaomi, Levono, Oneplus.

Do I still need to tell you the reason why Tecno, Infinix and Itel are not allowed in their(US and China) market?

Ofcourse THERE ARE SUBSTANDARD, and do not meet the international requirements.

Before you call me "Xiaomi marketer, fan boy". please note that I'm using tecno, I don't have xiaomi. But after my research, I can't lie, I'M ANGRY with the Nigerian Government and Africans at large. We have been fooled for too long.

Africans are exploited because majority are tech illiterates. This is 21st century, WE SHOULD BE WISE BY NOW!

Mumu, dey talk rubbish ,Chinese use tecno a lot ,even infinix

Yeah.

steric58:
guy believe it it will happen if tecno should continue producing this rubbish they call phone for Nigeria, some of there device can't last 3 month without one or 2 issues have been there, I personally convince upto 6 people to get xiaomi not because I was paid but I want them to have a first hand experience of quality, and they all came back thanking me, I bought a tecno W series for my mom within 5 month the phone pack up summon th courage and get a xiaomi 5A, upto now the phone is still doing great just like new and as of then the price is within the same range, the awaken Nigerians we do the marketing dem self even though they ain't paid dim by xiaomi but they wouldn't want there family to queue aimlessly at carlcare 3 - 5 month after getting a transsion phone, I'm happy people are gradually waking up have been liberated since 3 years ago more people will see the light too, once your product is good it will market itself.

But how many Nigerians are enlightened about phones like you and I? Tecno is a force to reckon with when it comes to android in Nigeria. They sell more than Iphone and Samsung put together in Nigeria. For me, people should learn from experience (na naija best way of learning).

edoairways:

Yep. Xiaomi note 8 doesn't snap well at night

I asked you if you use multiple phones

I didnt ask you how the camera of the RN8 performs. And i know you are lying too.

Samyd18:



am using ITEL

after researching about phone last year I discovered the have been cheating me seriously

and we Nigerians don't help matters.instead of us to united and called them out you will see some still defending them

Oga,everything still boils down to SON and NCC ,they are supposed to ensure that whatever electronic gadget coming into Nigeria meets international certified standard
Come to think of it,Chinese are way too greedy,Transsion are supposed to be producing or packaging their products here

thesolutions:
There are Samsung, Apple, xiaomi, Lenovo Nokia and the rest of the phones you mentioned in Nigeria. Go and get them if you need any.

Their are new entrants of phones into Nigerian markets from China. Umidigi, olla, maxphone, and many more, why can't you mention them too you pretenders. Stop all this mediocrity.
I'm using Huawei for your information.

You lack understanding, did the poster says they aren't other good options out there, the main point is they're substandard and do not meet the requirements.
You are the type that don't take the ethics of your field of study seriously.

iTroll:

Lol

What about india?

If xiaomi were to be sooo expensive as you are trying to prove here, why are they dominating the indian market?

Answer the simple question...what's the daily spending power of over 80% of Nigerians? Below 5 dollars! Just because you might be among the privileged 20% that can afford over 5 dollars to 10 dollars a day doesn't detract from the stark reality that majority of Nigerians are really poor.

But i saw chinese using apple and samsung phone in my working place

jaxxy:


Tecno is a China made Fone bt isn’t a Chinese brand. That’s the reason why they aren’t used in China. That doesn’t mean it’s sub standard. That goes for the infinix and the others u mentioned. They are strictly Nigerian Brand Fones made in China bt for Nigeria and maybe west Africa depending on the company’s target market.


Get over ur inferiority complex. If Ure really a tech guy then why not compare the specs and see.

Seriously, is it that you are ignorant or that you are a tech illiterate

A simple Google search will do the justice, even comparing specs is all over nairaland phone section, just get in there and be englightened, nobody is ready to spoonfeed since you have.. decided to be ignorant and not capable of making your research....


I don't know why y'all refused to be enlightened ,when you want to argue or make a point, argue with evidence not some cheap thinking....


I'll give you a simple ask. Show me a transsion phone within Same price range as xiaomi,umidigi,vivo and the likes, then compare their specs, then you I'll realised Nigerians have always been ripped off by transsion

Na we poor pas Na .... producing phone with 5camara with the same function

Me I no fit buy such wacko thing

Minjim:


That is already happening. Just look around you. Last time I went to Alaba international I was surprised that lots of people know and are using Xiaomi. Even one of my clients now use it.
It's gaining ground fast

I brought tecno camon 12 pro and xiaomi A3 the same day ,both phones are AMOLED screen ,l tell you ,the camon 12 pro is way far better than the A3 ,na only speakers the xiaomi dey better

I believe,its better we keep trading with Europeans and Americans cause they don't compromise their standards

guys all these tech companies are thieves..... there is no difference between the s4 and s5 infinix phones,same wit camon 12 and camon 15...u re jux buying pop up camera and ROM space

You mean UK used Samsung phones right??
I'm also pissed off right now, cos I didn't carry out enough research before buying this infinix phone I'm using right now. I'm thinking of waiting till I can afford a high end Samsung phone before getting a new phone, just fed up of using all these chinko phones with shitty processors and nonsense specs.

This thread made FP? Wonders shall never end. Cc atheistandproud, sunshineV, Zeushvwriter, Djprince

Nothing is expensive in India.
They make everything with fair and big competition and in so vast numbers that everything turns out as real affordable, Everything does not matter Electronics, Machines, Medicines, Motorbikes, cars, trucks or even Space Rockets or Satellites. everything.

Dont compare Apple to the oranges.

If xiaomi were to be sooo expensive as you are trying to prove here, why are they dominating the indian market?

thesolutions:

People make their choice based on money factor, maintenance factor and availability factor. The inferior products you are complaining about is some people's joy buy. If you don't like your phone, discard it and let others that love theirs use them in peace.
If Xiaomi think theirs is better than tecno, let them go to the field and market it. Let them prove to the people that their products are better, cheaper and easier to maintain than tecno. But you guys will keep ranting that Xiaomi doesn't do marketing.

If you love xiaomi, recommend it to family and friends. Let others use their own products of choice in peace.

Same thing the choice of using generators, inverter, just for electricity in Nigeria but then again that's a petty mentality while others are enjoying quality you're enjoying substandard. If talk against the low quality the company would surely improve because they wouldn't want to loose customers trust and profits but in Nigeria people support rubbish to justify their claims. Do you know the cons in using a substandard phone.
Adverse effect on health is one of them.
