The it1516Plus look like a value for money though, especially in this recession.
This OTG stuff, what is the maximum flash drive size i can use for it??

32GB is the maximum in most phones. You won't want to use a flashdrive that hang your phone

Last week, itel mobile officially released their latest big battery phone, the it1516Plus into the Nigerian market. The reviews i have seen so far has been quite positive. Many people are happy with the sleek and premium metal body design, the 5000mAh battery and the fact that you do not have to put a hole in your pocket to get the device.

Some months ago, the Tecno L8 had similar rating. So today, i am going to compare and contrast the major specs of the two phones and allow readers tell me which is better. so without further ado, lets dive into the crust of the matter.

Both of them run on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which is still the most common Android OS presently. On the Display part, it1516Plus has a 5.0" IPS Touchscreen while L8 has a 5.5" IPS capacitive touchscreen. The only difference here is the screen size.

Both of them have a 2MP Front Camera, although the it1516Plus has a front flashlight which is missing in the L8. However, the L8 has an 8MP Back camera compared to 5MP in it1516Plus . They both run on Quad Core Processor and also have 1GB RAM each. Battery Capacity is 5000mAh in 1516Plus and 5050mAh in L8.

While the it1516Plus comes in a metallic body giving it a premium appearance, the L8 has a plastic Cover body design. The it1516Plus also have OTG ability, meaning you can use it to charge other phones and access USB flash drive with your phone but this feature is lacking in the Tecno L8

Finally, the price for it1516Plus range between ₦25,000 - ₦27,000 in most stores while the L8 is selling between ₦37,000 - ₦42,000.

That is my comparison of both big battery phones. which of them would you likely buy if you were to buy a big battery phone??

This president is really dull

As simple as that...and he seems to have surrounded himself with not too intelligent people

This is a new low for this Administration

Will President Buhari apologize?

President Muhammadu Buhari made a terrible mistake last Thursday. He plagiarized President Barack Obama’s speech to launch “change begins with me.”

So you didn’t notice that our president lifted from Obama’s 2008 victory speech and passed it off as if the words were his own?

The argument will rage, but the moral problem of plagiarism on a day Mr. President launched a campaign to demand honesty and integrity from the people is what we should concern ourselves with.
I’m not a wailing wailer and I don’t like the downfall of any man but I also don’t like to be deceived. The very last thing you should do when you’re launching a campaign like this is to be dishonest with the people.

As Buhari talked down on Nigerians during the launch of the campaign spearheaded by no other person, other than the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, known for his trash-talk, particularly for the opposition, I started following the speech line-by-line. I was alarmed to make the discovery. It was a scandal that escaped the attention of our newspapers. It is one of two things: either people don’t pay particular attention to Buhari’s words or we are a nation of anything goes.

Only in July, Melania Trump, the wife of the Republican White House hopeful, Donald Trump, was caught in the web of plagiarism after she spoke at the Republican National Convention. She plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech. It was a big headline on television screen and national newspapers. Indeed it was a “global” headline.

Yes, a prime part of Buhari’s speech to the nation last Thursday to launch a campaign encouraging new culture of transparency, attitudinal change and hard work among Nigerians was plagiarized from America’s President Barack Obama’s 2008 victory speech. Buhari’s speech during the launch of the “change begins with me”, a new national orientation campaign, contained largely the same sentiment and arrangement of words that President Obama used in his 2008 victory speech after he was elected the first American black president.

The president lifted a whole paragraph from Obama’s speech and passed it off as his own when he said: “We must resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country for so long. Let us summon a new spirit of responsibility, spirit of service, of patriotism and sacrifice, Let us all resolve to pitch in and work hard and look after, not only ourselves but one another, What the current problem has taught us is that we cannot have a thriving army of rent seekers and vested interests, while the majority suffers.”

President Obama used the precise words at a rally in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, United States, after winning the race for the White House in November 2008.
Eight years ago, Obama said:

“In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. “So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. “Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.”

It is immoral to plagiarize other people’s work, but even worse to use dishonesty to launch a campaign about honesty. When you use another person’s work without acknowledgement, you have plagiarized. You simply pretend as if it is your own. It is unethical. It makes a mess of the campaign from the start. That is what Buhari has done, nobody will believe in the ‘change begins with me’ campaign, because it was built on lies.

Now, this is what I think must have happened, an incompetent speech writer handed the speech to Buhari with no fact checking method by the president’s men that should have saved the president from this embarrassment. I know this that with the vast opportunity provided by the internet, it’s so tempting to plagiarize, but the same internet provides opportunity to discover plagiarists.

It’s particularly troubling that the president has no inspiring words of his own other than to steal from someone. And this, it is pathetic that this “change” conversation is taking new dimension from what we expected. In the midst of its failure, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is asking Nigerians to change their ways, blaming everything why the country is not working on Nigerians’ attitudes. The blame game is moving away from Goodluck Jonathan years, the only defense for failure that APC has so far used.

Interestingly, the world is watching Buhari and the story of his plagiarism may have crossed the Atlantic without him knowing. Americans don’t joke with such issue. They name and shame plagiarists. Next week, when Buhari take his turn to address the 71st regular session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the Americans will scrutinize his words and check his facts.

Before that time, it is my submission that Buhari needs to apologize to Nigerians for plagiarizing on a day he launched “change begins with me.”

My HTC mytouch 4G was 768MB RAM. I used it a very long time ago.

Okay. But I don't think such type of RAM are still being produced

jmichlins:
So what happens to them upgrading their standards and maintaining it. This cycle of slamming fine and paying has got to stop cause the people who bought the sub-standard products are not refunded

Exactly my thought

TheDEVlLHimseIf:
if this is true with that price I'll personally promote it for them free of charge

i have great influence over my friends on the choice of their gadgets because of my professional and guru in software and hardware repair and maintenance so they always trust me and i have never fail them.

chriskid:
PLS CAN I RE INSTALL FB ON MY ITEL 2570 JAVA PHONE....I HAVE INSTALLED IT BEFORE BUT IT GOT DELETED I TRY TO INSTALL IT AGAIN BUT IT SAID THE CERTIFICATE IS NOT FOUND

Best way is to download through your PC and transfer to your phone via memory card

The way most of you bash China products shows how ignorant you are. The so called Galaxy bulllshhit is manufactured in China, even Apple products.

China is a custom oriented manufacturing country. Which means, he who pays the piper dictate its tune. You tell them what you want and they will produce it for you, which also includes the level of quality.

Poor quality products in Nigeria is as a result of what importers tell them. It's same China that produce your Galaxy. You can't do without China in this present world and U.S knows that they are threat to their existence.

Go figure out

Ah, nairalanders are so full of venous comments so tay the Op has to quake under una mouth. Lets learn to be accomodative of each other. We are not equals in life and the Op acted based on his earning power. Ya shouldnot crucify the good adonis. You guys just spoil his day. I bought a lesser model of same phone in June: It355 with 4G,512RAM, 1400ah battery and 3.5 screen for 10k and l am enjoying me phone and life.
