Phones / Re: Unbox Therapy Reviews Infinix Note 7 (video) by talut(m): 10:33am On Apr 25, 2020
I actually don't think the infinix device is bad, sure there are more aggressive priced device out there. But coming from a company that this is essentially their "flagship" there is almost no way to reduce the pricing cos at the end of the day it's this so called flagship that will bring in profit.
But micro USB in 2020... E no dey taya infinix.


Ps: there is absolutely nothing in the video that proves unbox therapy review is biased apart from there is a giveaway sponsored by infinix which doesn't say much.

Mkbhd is applely baised, most people probably don't notice this cos either they are apple wankers or maybe because apple device are great products overall
Same goes for supersaf only that his fetish is centered on Samsung.
Maybe unbox therapy is paid to feature products, but I stand.. his reviews are unbaised.

...thank you ...I'm using global version and it's showing volte using Ntel sim . So unlocking the bootloader will make it call other network? Plus Ntel network itself
not necessarily... volte as you might know already means you are able to make and receive over 4g network. only networks like ntel ,swift and maybe the others supports volte..
it's this same reason your phone switched to 3g when you want to make or receive a call on networks like Airtel.. I don't know if mtn,glo or etisalat supports volte but I'm pretty sure Airtel doesn't and smile and ntel does.
you can try locking your phone on only 4g if you know how, if you can get your phone to ring in this mode.. then it supports volte

Yes I still stand on it that Tecno is more affordable compared to other brands. Especially while putting into consideration the current exchange rate
Is this that you don't want to accept facts as truth or you're simply being biased.

Go and compare the price of phones with similar specs to camon 15 premiere and then come back to edit what you've said earlier...
Perhaps you're just a promoter

With every well meaning Nigerian taking the fight to transission and exposing their fraudulent activities at every turn... This ride is going to lead transission out of Nigeria.

Transission is a cancer in Nigeria, if they are not dealth with soon, every incoming brand will adopt their style of business and Nigerians will never enjoy the real benefits of using an affordable smartphone.
Even when you are not using a transission device, you need to join in this fight of exposing every antics and ploy of transission in trying to extort the innocent Nigerian. Otherwise its only a matter of time before the brand you love so much turns into transission with different name.

I agree man.. which is why I can't seem to understand the state of mind of people who come to type "everybody have their preference" or something similar

I understand the argument people used to make sometime ago, we need low priced device since standard of living in Nigeria isn't too good but what exactly can you use to defend them.
Apple for example sells overpriced devices(my opinion) that are worth buying if you have the money.
Samsung has something for everyone, same goes for Huawei
Xiaomi, oppo and likes like one plus and the rest which are not recognized in the country havd brought flagship like performance to people who don't have much to spend.
Transsion as a whole are just extorting Africans cos this is the only place they sell with their "crappy" products like there is no tomorrow
The future is now true true.. extort them till there is no tommorow. Smh
Not going to lie, they started well but whatever stunt they are pulling now, I'm in for the ride, we'll see where it takes them

Chuksteric:
Tecno and infinix are phone manufacturers under the transion brand. They are one of the reasons many users were able to get smartphones. People had doubts about the brand at first, but it was later accepted because of the cost-effectiveness back then. The Tecno n3 was my first and it was a great product as at the time when it was introduced to the market. It rivalled most midrange phones during its time. My Tecno n3 is still very much alive, though it struggles to meet up.



Where did Tecno get it all wrong?

Tecno grew as a brand and had all the bragging rights. The smartphone market was getting tough, but they had won the hearts of the people. Tecno H6 was a beautiful device. I rocked the device so well. It satisfied my every need. It had custom ROM support back then as I toggled between a lot. However, the phone wasn't durable and this was when Tecno started failing. Their phones henceforth were not durable.

Tecno has refused to improve- Tecno refused to improve their products. The camon c8 then was a good example when everyone was switching to 2 GB ram, Tecno stayed and kept on dishing the 1 GB ram. The camon c8 was a failure. Their claims of value for money is a total lie. This can be seen when they sold the Camon CX for a whopping 75000 Naira. People still bought the product because of the aggressive marketing and that's probably my worst smartphone mistake

The poor OS and poor software development and updates - Tecno has been so comfortable and has refused to update its devices. They introduced hiOS with the boom j8. This is evident in the lack of software support their devices receive. In the last year due to serious competition in the market, they have pushed so much advertisement to their devices and you can tell that it affects the fluidity of the devices. Tecno has only attempted to update two of their phones which is the Camon c8 that never passed the beta release. I had to go back to the previous version which was also very terrible and the phantom 6 which had bugs with no updates or follow up till date.

Setting wrong priorities - The brand specializes in paying YouTubers to give positive Reviews. So almost all reviews online are not totally true. The brand pays online marketers to suggest their phones on almost every social media platform. Facebook, Nairaland and they even go to the extent of paying influencers to trend their products on twitter. They pay heavily to get celebrities to endorse their products. This affects the quality of the products. The camon (X, C11, c12) have the same processors. There is no difference in the products. The only difference is the shape and design! No improvement whatsoever! This is beginning to tell as strong criticism in the last months has reached the top echelon. The company is losing its credibility.

Whilst investing in marketing may be good, improving the quality of the product more important. Tecno has long stopped giving value for money
https://thestericadventure..com/2019/11/reasons-to-leave-tecno-bandwagon.html

I apologise for quoting the whole comment but I wanted you to see this.
You said it all man. Anyone who watches review in general on YouTube know Nigerian YouTubers are definitely paid to say good things about the brand or at the very least not to highlight the bad part or day anything that will discourage potential buyers.. their marketing strategy game too is aggressive. I guess they understand how an average Nigerian think so do I blame them ? I'm not too sure but I'm definitely disgusted. I've started unsubscribing from Nigerian tech YouTubers sef since they don't speak the whole truth.
Nigerians are just gullible or should I use a less aggressive word, ignorant.
You said it all. Just take a look at their newly launched product going for is it 95k. That's is just outrageous to the extent that it hurts. It's an insult to everybody from the government which I think should be able to regulate this pricing to YouTubers who support them because their palms are greased to everyone who patronize them, even their ambassadors aren't left out. I guess it's just business. People think how good a phone looks should justify its price.. truth is that's the least expensive part in making a phone.

Technology Market / Re: Please Help - Airtel 6G Data Consumes Too Fast On Laptop by talut(m): 10:31am On Apr 12, 2020
It's not Airtel, definitely windows 10. Next time observe your bandwidth consumption rate via resource monitor to know the PiD of the processes eating up your data. Cross reference with task manager to force stop those processes.
This is just a temporary fix though.
You might also like to ensure the connection you use is set as metered. If your windows installation isn't broken,this should solve a large part of the problem you're encountering

Politics / Re: FCT, Lagos, Ogun Communities Ignore Lockdown Order by talut(m): 10:18am On Apr 06, 2020
When someone came forward (on Twitter I think) to say that this lockdown is unconstitutional but desirable, it was as if he was saying nonsense..
This government is as clueless as usual. Buhari is barely doing better than a zombie.. how difficult is it to satisfy the masses from that position exactly?. Nigga will be copying u.s and co as if he copied them when they were not looting their national treasure, when they were building new hospitals, when they considerably supported their citizen.
My guy just woke up one morning and declared lockdown effective the next day that same evening...
It would have been nice if there was a major election immediately after this period..maybe people will wise up but a lot of people don't even believe in elections anymore... Nigeria is bleeped in a long run.
And even if we get good people as leaders today. I don't see Nigeria becoming a decent place overall to live in till the next decade. Afterall it's not one government that brought where we are today

U missed it Buhari boy.

1. China are looking for popularity while US is not.
2. Ur government can't pay for US,England, Russia n well developed nations but can afford China n u know wat it means.
3. Y is ur Buhari going to Europe for treatment if China u claim has it and is advancing I.e Buhari offer Nigerians fake n cheap things while he travel for better ones.
4. US, Russia, England are not eager to come to Nigeria to come n give u scholarship and so on they are want just one tin maintain peace, avoid terrorism and learn not to be borrowing money up n down.
5. If u have money now I bet u, u will not be dreaming of China but Europe n US for quality and freedom like ur Buhari always do.

Think

Saying China is looking popularity is far fetched.. if anything, China has always tried to seclude itself from the rest of the world.
I don't really understand the point you're trying to pass across with no 2
Have you ever thought it's because US is closer and China is not, I also refer you back to my no 1 argument
Your no 4 point is disoriented, anyways there is scholarships to any country of choice, the question is do you know they exist and do you want to go there.
There is also language barrier too.. if you're going to China and you can't speak Mandarin, things obviously will be difficult

Personally if I had money China is one of the first places I would consider

Everything is still rumour. Nothing is certain for sure till it's launched. It's not as if this is the first time a phone will be abou to launch and there will be a lot speculations. Obviously some will be correct and there will definitely be some wrong ones too.
personally I'm speculating the amoled screen remains. Fingerprint might be at the side or remain in display,90hz is certain, SD 730g instead of 730
Now tell me how this is a downgrade.
Besides Xiaomi has some pretty impressive device on ground to beat
