You are a very wicked person for recommending this crappy brand for someone. That phone with a poor camera like a low budget itel. shocked you want OP to be looking for where to be ordering spare parts everywhere just to repair his phone. huh
Are you okay? How is Redmi 9 crappy? Did you see his budget?


I should recommend Samsung S20 for a budget of #40,000?

Ah. Wasn't the pouvoir 4 pro but the 3 (lb7 I think).

And before you get on your high horse and start ranting about me making a mistake, OP needs it for rendering videos (editing videos, adding effects and sound and merging all together) and having 6GB of RAM with Helio P22 won't get the job done on time and efficiently.
Rather he ups his budget and get a 4GB device with a midrange chipset to use.

Oh and if you haven't edited videos (cutting videos on snapchat or photos don't count) don't bother arguing.
I haven't used the pouviour 4 pro before, just wanted to be sure cos I've read reviews about the phone

I suppose from folks here on Nairaland who still believe bigger battery and RAM is everything and chipset don't matter in this era.

The phone is good but not for what OP needs it for.

Oh and one doesn't need to use a device to tell how it'll perform. What is used to power it does.

Actually I met with someone yesterday who had a spark 4 up for sale.. Truly the phone looked good but wasn't enough for me.

In details, what I do is comedy skits, so I shoot videos with my phone and edit also with kinemaster pro. Then am a gamer too (maybe not heavy though) But I must say, am not an average user. Phone must have enough ram, new version, storage, good processor and nice cameras too.

Though am not really a novice about phones, believe me I've made tons of researches, but like I said, I prefer usage experience to just online researches. And thus! that led me here (realizing nairaland has a lot of people with tech knowledge)

For now I have a budget of 40k but then, am not really in a haste. I could raise my budget if need be but I just want to have beforehand, a clear grasp of what am aiming to purchase.

NB : I've only used tecno y4 and currently using infinix hot 5 in my history of personal smartphones (sounds funny? but that's the truth people) Though I've laid my hand on other devices but it wouldn't count like a personal one you know.

So I'll leave it to y'all to unanimously help a bro out. cry

My little advice..
Your budget is very low for a phone with great specs, hence you need to up your game and add atleast 10K. Go for "used" xiaomi device at a your own peril, your eye go clear after getting it.
With such budget, tecno spark 4 or umidigi a7 pro is the best deal.. Even 40K can't get those phones i mentioned you still need to add atleast 5k to your budget. Some of these transsion phones isn't as bad as they portray it here. Btw, beware of scammers if you are to trade on Nairaland!

I'll look for more money. Any good 4/64 is okay.

I would have loved the tecno pouvoir 4 pro if only it had a bit higher processor. It has good specs as well.

Check Gionee K3 on jumia, it has the spec you are looking for but the processor isn't that good.

Plus, i don't trust the durability of their phones again since they went bankruptcy

If you are really looking for a phone with good processor you must add some money to your budget, get xiaomi redmi note 8 (you must handle with care cos parts ain't available in Nigeria), a used Samsung phone or an iPhone
