acunon:
Will jst give few points
1: Leds are fragile in some parts like the screen, the bezel and other internal parts.
2: Cost - Led Tvs are most expensive though not expensive than there counter part (Curves). They cost much than the lcd, plasma and crt tvs(quite old) . There cost might be imagined to reduce due to extensive research on low cost materials used in the manufacturing process, but its still on the high price.
3: Screen issues like line, dent and other screen defects which arise on light impact of an object on the screen or due to shock or rapid vibration on transit. These are things to be considered and rectified on the introduction of the OLED AND Co
THANKS

So you're saying OLED and the more recent TV displays that were made after LEDs are not susceptible to the screen issues?

I heard the this phone does not make calls for long and calls have whistle-like wailing in the background. It's not a network issue or noise, it's just the phone.

Not true, phone calls can be made for as long as one wants to.

Call quality is very good. It's clear, loud & audible and has enough bass. There is no static sound in the background either.

I have made a direct comparison of the phone call quality & audibility with Tecno Phantom A+, Tecno Y5 and Elephone G5, all of which have decent call quality and the XRN2 is better.

I have suffered through phones with low, metallic, wispy call quality like Leagoo Lead 1 & Doogee DG350 so I know what I'm saying.

Your description fits the call quality of Infinix Hot Note/Hot Note Pro which is loud but metallic and lacks bass.

I have come back again, I noticed somebody from this thread reported my comments to admin that got me blocked from commenting on phones section for the past one week. Guess what? I'm back, report me again, I'll open a new account instantly and come back to remind the person that it's still me, Donhils.

Better behave or this time, I'll give you a forum wide ban and for a longer period too

Also, take note of RULE 19 - Don't create a new account when banned for breaking a rule. If you do, make sure we don't find out.

You can always open new accounts but I'll ban them as soon as I see 'em (and you stand the risk of having your primary account banned till TKC)

Eventually, you'll get frustrated and tired of the cycle of creating new usernames and having them banned almost immediately. Believe me, I've been there.

Surely, nothing can be easier than exhibiting decorum and abiding by the rules of the forum? Be good bro. . . .

I prefer the Phantom Pad II G9 .....7.9 inches the right size to me This one too long lek Moses tablet for bible

Same here, I hate the dimension of it's 8 inches. I'll have preferred it had less length and more breadth. Tecno should have stuck to the dimensions of its previous 8" tablets.

Also, its front facing speakers above and below the screen is a turn off for me. It makes it looks cheap and "unpremium" and reminds me of the transistor radios mallams carry about.

Though, I admit the speakers are in the right position for the best sound output.

I have had this phone for about a month but I never used it cos I hated the white back cover and was waiting for the black replacement back cover I ordered to arrive. That came in yesterday so I unboxed the phone and began tweaking for optimum performance.

First thing I did was flash the Xiaomi.eu MIUI 7 multilanguage ROM of 18/9/2015. (Thanks to Aieromon for the download links and walking me through the steps on whatsapp). I used the inbuilt MI recovery in flashing the ROM and it went well.

I installed TWRP recovery, SuperSU & Nova Launcher and it's been smooth sailing since then.

MIUI has a learning/adaptation curve and it takes some getting used to (coming from a phone background of Tecno Phantom A+, Samsung Galaxy S4, Leagoo Lead 1, Elephone G5 & Cubot s200) but it's cool and I'm not complaining.

Never used the phone out of the box so I never experienced the issues a few have reported here. I inserted my SIMS, SDcard and installed apps into the phone for the first time yesterday after flashing the MIUI 7 Multi language ROM.

* Battery life is pretty decent, it charges fast and it holds it charge well in use.

* Screen is fast & responsive, display is fantastic with good colour reproduction (MIUI has options to customize this to your taste/needs)

* Camera is very good & I'm impressed with its output

* Call quality is good, loud, has enough bass and doesn't sound hollow.

* Speaker is fairly loud and produces rich sound. Sound quality with earphones is even better & with more customizable options

What else, what else. . . . . . . . .nothing jare

FINAL WORD: I love MIUI 7 and I love my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.

Nice one @Semid4lyfe. It's not only when one is bitten that he should come crying on NL, excellent service is also worth mentioning. Feedback is so important in business. @Acunon I'll surely get in touch.

Yes, feedback is very important and it annoys me when people transact business and don't drop feedback to guide other prospective buyers.

I never took the OP serious until octavo posted a feedback. . . .and I'm pretty sure some Nairalanders had bought from him before octavo

Technology Market › Re: Buy Plasma, Lcd And Led Televisions For Affordable Pricein Lagos. by semid4lyfe(m): 6:44am On Sep 16, 2015*

Alaba Int'l Market is not a place for the faint hearted. Neither is it a place for one to test his street smartness and as such I wasn't going to go there without making "proper arrangements".

Now, I wanted to buy a wall mounted TV to replace the 26" Ultra Slim Flatscreen Tube TV my old man used in his retirement abode but I was budget conscious and didn't want to spend so much.

So I got in touch with Acunon after doing some due diligence, background and authenticity checks on him and fixed a date to visit his shop at Alaba Int'l Market. (Also, I wanted to deal with a Nairalander so I could have recourse to this platform "in case of incasity" )

On the D-Day, I made the trip to Alaba, met with Acunon who gave me a sound orientation on the workings of the market, the different brands, models & display technologies of TVs and at the end of the day, I went home with a LG 42" HD Plasma TV (2012 model). The TV is of the Razor Frame Technology series and is thin with extremely narrow bezels.

The TV has multiple connection ports (Side Connections - USB 2.0 Input, AV Input, HDMI/DVI Input & Rear Connections - HDMI input, Component Input, RF Input, AV In, Digital Audio Output, HDMI In, RGB In (PC), PC Audio In). It possesses soft touch buttons as opposed to physical buttons and has many special features too.

TV has been mounted and is working fine (This is the 3rd week since its purchase). Despite being a plasma display, pictures are crisp and very clear. Total speaker output is 20W (10W + 10W). Power consumption is moderate too.

Acunon is a young man who is friendly, honest and very attentive to customers, especially Nairalanders. Despite the influx of other customers into his shop that day, he never left my side and gave me 100% attention. He also chaperoned me round the market to pick up some other stuff, this despite him being temporarily "physically challenged".

I couldn't have asked for better customer service and I'm glad to know him. He has transcended from being a business acquaintance to a friend as we still chat on Whatsapp from time to time. He has also become my go-to guy in Alaba for any electronic product and I have given his contact to my relatives and friends.

Acunon is real fellas, I recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation. If you need a TV and you don't wanna break the bank, "think Acunon" at Comet Star Plaza behind Saint Peter Church, Alaba International Market, Ojo.

Here's a hint, just tell him you're from Nairaland and watch him roll out the red carpet and give you a good deal grin

Reason For Selling

Trying to raise some bucks and its easily one of my most disposable and "can do without" gadgets
being that I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 smartphone.

Any techie or moderately knowledgeable gadget user knows video reviews and pictures never tell
the whole story.

The real deal is in owning one and using it over a period of time and hence I am willing to meet any Lagos based Interested buyer to have a feel of the tablet. If you're not in Lagos, you can have someone meet me for an on-the-spot assessment of the tablet.

Meanwhile, here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Hi Y'all

My name is SEMID4LYFE

I've got a fairly & neatly used Cube Talk 9x Tablet for sale. It's the 2gb ram/32gb rom black version. Asking Price is N35,000 (Thirty Five Thousand Naira) only.

I'm in Lagos presently and can meet with seriously interested buyers to see and have a feel of the tablet so you know exactly what you're getting. **Can't soil my good name & hard earned reputation on this forum**

I'm selling with the Luxurious Sleep/Wake Magnetic Case, the already attached screen protector and sim tray ejector pin. Seriously interested buyers can reach me via Call, SMS and Whatsapp XXXXXXXXXXX
