Hmmm seeing u guys flaunt ur gadgets...I mean phn dat costs way up to 250k at least mks me remember wen I used to be a phn freak,I still am but d difference nw is after experiencing d other side of life ive come to knw dat spending too much on something in an economy whr pple go without 3 square meal a day seems kinda cruel to me.I've seen pple go crazy when someone give them 50 naira all for d fact they hv nobody to help them in dis harsh world.I do wish 2 use a phn like dis someday but reality even if it's note 100 it's still a phn and nothing more,better invest dat money on something worth it or help those wif nothing.

You almost sounded reasonable sha

Pitokwe:


Thank you very much.

I just want to know why it is not passing the checks for original phone.

Ok, what checks did you run o.

There should be other ways to confirm

Pitokwe:


Bro I am more disgusted, if there anything like that

Try and go to slot.
Make sure to tell them you already tried soiling their name on nairaland.
I think that should help speed things up.

Freelancerx:
LOL. Well, thanks to Google. New Go version will make this phone and even the Nokia 1 run smoothly.

Hopefully sha.
All these slow-phone owners wee na be disturbing someone in church, "Sam, pls help me to check my phone, the Facebook is hanging, It's no more opening, bla bla"

Freelancerx:
what is it now running on? Because at the launch even the Country manager for Google confirmed it

Yeah, sorry for that, I didn't know then.
But I already admitted, if you read further

madgoat:


Dont mind the mumu Pitokwe guy. He is too gullible. I hate when people don't try to get enlightened. Let him go and complain at slot and see how they will embarrass him there due to his social media gullibility.

Honestly, I recall hopes he goes to slot.

joan1678:

Let's hope things will get better cos contacting support is totally out of it.

Yeah, let's hope

Mustack:
money to buy a brand new correct smart phone.. ok oh continue

Phone is different from phone

Pitokwe:

Yes o.if I had wanted a china phone i would gone for it.a lot of brands are out there.

Why did slot choose to go bring Samsung phones from China?
Why will they not bring it from country of origin?
I don't want a China phone bro.

I dey shame to allow people know that I am using a China phone..lol

WTF are you saying.
I'm disgusted right now.
And you're even bold to say all this.

You need to get enlightened tech-wise

Jeez

Pitokwe:
if wanted a China phone I would have simply just gone for that. I do not want a China phone.i think I have been duped

Made in China doesn't make it a china phone.
When you were using Nokia in those days, didn't you see some made in china models, even tho some others were made in Finland?

I don't think your phone is a fake.
Tell us what exactly you checked for

joan1678:

Me too. In fact mine is worse. Anytime I open BR I'll see about 370 offers. All old offers

Nawa, it doesn't make any sense.

Some of the requests will say, "I need this done in a day," and their requests is still there after two days.
Something's not right

Timileyin1234:


Even not low end phones. Some (Mid range) phones find it difficult to multitask when running those apps

Honestly, even mid-range phones

CHESTER48:
Sire let me correct you here. Lighter versions of app is not solely for phone with low storage. As any android phone can run full Facebook. Full messenger etc. The lighter versions were made for countries with very slow network sir. Do you know how slow our networks re here in niaja.imagine me using glo and waiting for hours. Lighter versions are just for two things.
1:Storage capacity
2:fix network issue.

Take a look at YouTube go. It main purpose is for u to download the video instead of streaming it. What's the need of continually buffering a video when you can just download and watch later? I have a Samsung s3 lying around. I'm running android 8.1 on it. And I have all full apps. Including snapchat and they run fast. Just small glitches that's all.

Ok, I skipped the internet part
But you get
Well, I've never been a fan of YouTube go sha
Don't really like it
But maybe it'd have been dope if it was on iOS sha.


And you said "any android phone" can run full versions of those apps,
One low end phones, apps like these can really slow down the phone, even during multitasking.
They'll run the apps, but not efficiently

fowlyansh181:
question was odd and so off from the topic ..

Maybe he asked cos of your nails (fingernails)

CHESTER48:
I've been an android fan for the past 8 years. I've hated iphone for no good reason. I've never used it, perhaps that was why I was so acting up.But how can I hate e phone without ever using it. It sounds weird. So then I decided this year to get my self an iPhone. I got an iPhone 7 to be exact. Reason for this is because its my first iPhone. And it had everything I wanted including water resistant. After some few days. My friend brought his iPhone x for me to sell. So I switched immediately to the iPhone X. And now Ive used this phone for good 18days, And I hated it. Right now I want to sell the iPhone 7.its a 64gb model. Please hilla me if interested.

Now the things I hated in iphone that made me go back to my android where

These are very honest reasons.
Lemme try to add a few things.
I'm an Android fan by the way.

The notification issue has been fixed on iOS 12
Try and update, you'll find that the notifications are now grouped; kinda like what we have on Android.
As for fast charging, you'll need to buy a fast charger of over 30k from Apple.


iOS is rich in apps o
I can't remember which of them has more sha
But the apps you were looking for don't really have a purpose on iOS
Take those "lite" apps for example, the CPU of the phone is already ultra fast, the storage is adequate, the RAM is on point too, so there's no need for lighter versions of apps.

Things like Titanium backup
That's asking too much

The size of apps is quite scary sha.
But you'll notice that the apps usually have some features that are lacking on the Android counterparts, the stability of the apps too is top notch.

And for you to be able to afford such a phone, it won't be too difficult to increase your data plan by like two times now sha.

Well, the last time I used an iPhone was in 2016, iOS 9.3 or so.
So I won't be able to help with some other solutions.
Aiit.
Peace

rejoixe:
guys, is it only me or buyer request is acting up, all the offers on my buyer request are yesterday's, i've not seen a single one for today.

It's the same here o.
It's almost as if buyers no longer delete their requests.
Some are days old sef.
I only saw one for yesterday. All the rest were 15th

JustCurious:


Thanks for the response. Well appreciated.
See attached photo. RAM is still at 99%, even after moving files of 2.4G.

The insufficient storage space message pops up almost every second..now.

This is expected of every 16GB phone in 2018
There's nothing weird about it

olaboyeh:
Potrait mode came out great.. Still camon x.. The front camera is really great outdoor only

You call this great?
See how overexposed it is.
Building behind you be looking like really bright white sky

mrkachi13:
tempered glass is not the issue. Why didn't you say you bought the phone with the Charger or Manual?

calddon:
If its true its coming with pure stock android, then the development team at infinix deserve some accolades, they have heard my voice along with the voices of all other stock android enthusiasts.

If it features 18:9 screen ratio, front fingerprint sensor, ultra cleat selfie n rear cam, 4gb ram n Snapdragon processor den its huge sales will be unprecedented in the company's history.

Probably some Snapdragon 425 processor

nonichuks:


Spark 2 uses android Oreo Go edition. Google it.

Read about it https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/go-edition/

The catch is that phones with 2GB ram don't need to run on Android Go edition but 1GB ram phones do.

I wish someone could do ram management test to find it if the difference is so so much.

Oh, no wonder, sorry about that
Didn't know it ran Android Go
No wonder you kept saying it.

Well, let's be looking.
That might just decrap the phone a bit

ollah2:




Did I tell you the camera isn't great?
Didn't you read the part only camera doesn't sum up a smartphone ?
Do you know how HTC and Sony would have been murdered if they had produced such phone?
Essential was basically killed and we might not see the sequel of PH-1.

The media is doing more harm than good these biased reviews. They are part of the reasons why BB10 and windows are dead.

The main thing you don't see here is that none of these other phones are the best at anything

Tell me what the Essential phone is best at?
I'm sure you can't that's the thing

I'm sure that the Pixel would've been washed if not for it's amazing camera

Just like those Nexus phones were, they weren't the best at anything and so, they got their own diss cut out for them

kolatunez:


I don't think any other phone brand receives as much hate as tecno/Infinix.what abt the mighty Samsung and iPhone .....no there's nothing to attack in Samsung and iPhone,not the fact that they have the worst batteries or that they are bloody expensive.No Samsung/iPhone can never go wrong.but tecno and Infinix can.The truth is,Tecno/infinix are not dumb.they can't make the perfect phone.....market strategy,there has to be a downside to each phone. If you're all complaining,Go and make your own phone.

He he he, Tecno already makes phones with 4GBs of RAM

So RAM and CPU shouldn't be too much of a problem for them

And I'm sure you don't know what you're saying about Samsung's batteries, one of the worst?

I give up

nonichuks:




Ever heard of Android Oreo Go Edition? 1GB ram can handle 2 social media apps at the same time(splitscreen) so how won't you be able to leave your video/chat app to attend to another lite app?

If you're running a game and then you want to leave to go and do other stuff, even 2GB ram isn't enough. Games just close to optimize battery.

Running games while running anything else at the same time is what kills battery the most.

Ok,
First, this is not Android Go

Then, 2GB RAM isn't even enough but it is 2 times less shitty than 1GB RAM

Isn't that a step better?

nonichuks:


Lol i laugh in Nokia 2.1. All join abeg.

He he he

Lexusgs430:


Don't mind this people....... They would not enjoy little money they have (within reason)..... If death now knocks what happens to all the bitcoins and investments?

Their next of kins would squander it all.... MKO (case study).....

Honestly o
Guy even said he'll buy more land

All na mouth
Last last, na to buy one small piece of land.
Build am reach decking, do like 2 or 3 coaches of block round on top so pikin nuh go fit fall for the new "upstairs chilling floor"
Fit nuh even paint the house or floor the compound, because money wey dey na for "more land"

Come dey faithfully use every shitty shit Infinix and Tecno dish out each year.


Nawa

Papertrail11:


buy more land dumbass

Eeyah, how sad.

Well, different kind people na em full this country.

Whatever keeps your land intact sha

There's nothing wrong with a 1GB RAM device. Y'all be making it sound like it's a disease. Some people are not heavy users.

It's a disease o.
Do you know how frustrating it is to leave chrome to go reply someone on WhatsApp, only to come back and have to reload the page

Or you watching a movie on MXplayer
You go to Whatsapp to reply someone and 'fiam,' MX player restarts totally, you have to goan look for the movie you were just watching (if you don't know about the button that plays the last watched video)


And these are just light weight stuff o

How about the lags everywhere
You tap the home key and wait for about 2 or 3 seconds for the action to occur

And shii laidat

It's a disease o abeg

Freelancerx:
Runs on Android Go. Made for low capacity phones. It will actually work fine. My concern is lack of 4G.

Yeah Android go is meant for low speced phones
But this isn't running anything near Android Go.

They'll surely strip down some elements of the UI, but it's just not enough

kolatunez:


1GB ram is OK, a bit small but OK.where do you want to see a 3GB ram phone at 36k.Except all this brand that don't have names.even if tecno put 2GB ram on the phone which they already have,you people will look for another fault. I'm very if the 2GB variant was 36k.y'all will start attacking the processor.that it is too outdated

1GB RAM is not OK.
2GB RAM is mediocre for such a recent android version

But since it's low-end, 2GB RAM should be the start point.
The price will be higher, yes

It's better than lower prices with crappy bricks everywhere

And yeah, you right, if it's not the RAM, we'll attack tbe processor.

Because with Tecno and Infinix, there's always a lot to attack

ollah2:




There isn't any difference

Camera isn't the only thing that makes up a smatphone. It's not a digital camera, remember.

Sony and HTC are as fluid as Pixel because they all embrace near stock UI.

Pixel 2 debutted with all sorts of problems

Display
Looking washed out and dull
Exhibiting blue shift at slight angles
Black smear issue
Exhibiting burn in

Bluetooth
High pitched noises
Random reboot
Sidesceen failing to recognise touches
Buzzing sound from the speaker

How would the media react if HTC or Sony flagships debuts with these problems?

Ok, the Pixel had it's own fair share of criticism cos of the display
But still, the camera is a strong point.
MKBHD says that's why he used the phone as his daily driver for so long.
How biased can everyone collectively be?

Or are you suggesting Google paid them to be?
