Pls I need a phone recommendation between 70k to 80k for an heavy phone user. 3gb ram or more. Particularly Samsung. Any recommendation will go a long way.

second hand or.new? Just buy a Tecno Camon 17 or POVA series

Pax is a trusted payment solution. Great move from them.

Problem solved. I got a 5.0 Bluetooth usb dongle. (BT Wireless USB Dongle).

oh nice

It's actually not bad initiative o but would it be of value like btc, eth and the likes? If not, then what's the need?

constance500:
Yes but you need to walk through the bootloader unlocking and twrp porting process and trust me it's not as easy as you think

i can sense that, I don't think I'll wanna go through that process

Bluedio T7 Headphones

how much does it cost?

For me, I'll have to.go.for.the one that offers value for money

samsard:
As the title states, I need suggestions on the best possible Android phones within this budget. Unpopular Chinese phone models that may be tricky to get parts for will not be needed. Any other phone locally available in Nigeria is fine.

check TECNO Spark 5

atheistandproud:
Great Choice

yea, I believe so.

These devices looks so great. Innovative devices

Sunkanmiwise:
Another good gadget coming from TECNO MOBILE, I read that the camera is way better than the previous ones with new technology innovation

for real? Source please

Breastfeed:
Hmmm ok o, seems the camera game has just gotten to another level

the camera is like the traditional camera

atheistandproud:
They have a website lol.

Just Google lineage OS download

But don't go there if you don't know how to root phones. It only works for supported devices.

oh! Okay then. I'll just stick with my HiOS then

Ruke1989:
Cubot P19 5200mah, 3GB ram, 32GB space, 4G network, price N35,000 check konga

all these phones that can just spoil without anything causing it

dmickdx:
Please I need a good phone of 3G RAM and about 5000 MaH

up your budget small and get a TECNO Spark 5

What's the chipset on the A73

iTroll:
i use t901 and i hacked it. quote me to know how if you also use the mtn, tecno or any kaios phone

hacked it for what purpose?

thepoweruser:
Hello, fellers. Hope you guys are healthy and safe (my God, did I just use Ben Sin's intro? ).

Alright, so I've been using a (cheap!) KaiOS
device for a little over a year and a half as a primary (only) phone. Hell; it's what I'm using to type this review(!) So, I want to share with you guys how it is using this ''smart feature phone''.

So, I bought this device; specifically the MTN Smart T M561M3, on February last year, for #8500 MSRP. Precisely, February 6, 2020. I placed the order on Jumia and got the phone five days later (order was on February 3).

Of course, I did my research before making the decision. I knew what to expect, but as I have said so many times; the best way to find out the truth about a phone or what is like is to use it.

I wasn't expecting an Android-replacement experience. In fact; I wasn't even expecting Tizen OS level of mobile OS performance, though I must say I was stoked over a keypad-driven device with Google Assistant, YouTube, WhatsApp and of course Xender and ShareIt. (There's Facebook and Twitter, too!) So I placed the order and got the phone.

I will post pictures very soon; and in this thread I will post in-depth reviews and photos so that you will get the message, just in case you wanna jump in! (No, literally ) ( )

Okay, sorry for fooling around.

DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS:

MTN Smart T M561M3 (produced and manufactured by China Mobile)



NETWORK:
-2G GSM 900/1800MHz
-3G UMTS 900/2100MHz
-4G: N/A ( Pretty much only the Qualcomm-based KaiOS devices like the Nokia 8110 4G and Alcatel Go Flip have LTE modems)

SIM: Dual-SIM, Dual-Standby

(Yes, 3G is supported on both SIMs, but to use it both SIMs must be MTN SIMs; SIM 1 must have an MTN SIM or you cannot use the device. SIM 2 can use any other SIM but is locked to 2G only.

An MTN SIM must be in the device for the device to work. You can use the phone without the SIMs if you put it in airplane mode then remove the SIMs).

SIM type: Regular Mini-SIM + NanoSIM (SIM 1 & 2)



PLATFORM:

DISPLAY: 2.4-inch TN-TFT LCD, 16M colours, 240x320 (QVGA) resolution.

TOUCH: (Hell) no.

(Display has OK colours but even my ex-BlackBerry Bold 9900 beats it in contrast and black levels. The display gets decently bright but the sun thoroughly defeats it. This is no Galaxy S10+)



CHIPSET:

Spreadtrum (now Unisoc) SC7731EF, 32nm (wot d'ye 'xpect? )

CPU: quad-core 1.3GHz Cortex-A7

GPU: Mali-T830 MP1

RAM: 512MB LPDDR2

STORAGE: 4GB eMMC

(There are TWO MTN Smart T models: M561M2 with 256MB RAM and 512MB eMMC, in black; and mine, in gold with 512MB/4GB.
Specs wise; it's very comparable to Tecno's Y2. But is it better? We will see!)



SOFTWARE:

OPERATING SYSTEM: KaiOS 2.5.0; updated to 2.5.1; no security patch info.

TEXT AND INPUT METHOD: Predictive (T9) numeric keypad.



CAMERA & VIDEO RECORDING:

FRONT: 5MP, 720px480 (D1) @ 30FPS

REAR: 5MP, 640x480 (VGA) @ 30FPS (what? )



CONNECTIVITY:

BLUETOOTH: Bluetooth 4.2, A2DP.

WiFi: 802.11b/g/n , WiFi hotspot capable; WPA2 security

GPS: Yes, with A-GPS; though no iZat, Google Maps supported.

USB: microUSB 2.0, USB Debugging, USB tethering.



BATTERY AND CHARGING:

2000mAh Li-Ion removable battery; standard 500mA charging (5V/0.5A)



SENSORS:

ACCELEROMETER: N/A

GYROSCOPE: N/A

COMPASS: I think it has one; not sure.

BAROMETER: For where?



BIOMETRICS:

FINGERPRINT:

FACE UNLOCK:

Announced on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, the app is designed to allow customers carry out activities with ease such as make inquiries, check and pay bills, report/resolve complaints, and promptly contact customer care representatives. It also offers live chat and account management functions as well.

Speaking at the unveiling of the upgraded app, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ikeja Electric, Folake Soetan, has expressed how forward thinking and customer centric IE has been and how they always dared to consistently improve their services in order to improve customer experience and achieve better results.

“The upgraded IE Mobile App comes with numerous functionalities that offer secured transactions, prompt services and unique user-experience. It is a mobile app positioned as a one-stop shop for customers to interact with Ikeja Electric for prompt responses”, she said.

Unregistered customers within IE network can also use IE Mobile App to access information and resolve complaints without visiting the IE office.
