Nice try. Its ur choice to get any device u want not neccessarily until someone forces it down your throat like you android fanatics do all the time. Your os is the best. We have heard... 1. The last time i checked apple devices come in variants, 16 64, and 128gb which i know your darling droids dont have at the moment. You choose what u want. 2. Thats the beauty of ios. Hardly would u beef to do a reset unlike ur darling droids :p. This is because the hardware and software are beautifully integrated together and apps do not hold the os to ransom like u experience everyday (force close, wait etc. 3. So u need a new remote and you bought a phone, congrats. 4. Just because you dont have access to the file manager doesnt mean all files are dumped in the same folder in iphones. A simple jailbreak will convince you. 5.youre right about itunes. But to say you need iphoto to copy pictures out of iphone. Come on, say something else. 6. Any oem reserves the right to whatever hardware it wants for its products. Ure complaining of cable, tell tecno and others too to use snapdragon chipsets like others 7. Apples ios is engineered in a way that the appstore is the sole location for downloading apps. This makes cases of malware, vunerabilities and spywares and other nasty installations that the android ecosystem is notoriously famous for. For jailbroken devices, the cydia appstore also serves as a secondary base of apps to download too. Be illuminated. 8. Guest mode accounts werent a feature of android up till lollipop which im sure u dont have on your device. However be rest assured that its not so far away from ios. By the way have u heard of family sharing.. Google is ur buddy. 9. Who the hell needs google map when there is sygic map there that works seamlessly with realtime locations, thousands of poi and the best feature, u can use it OFFLINE. 10. Apple cares much about security and pattern lock is on the lowest level in security terms yet u say android is better because of that. Hell if youre using an exchange mail account on ur crapdroid, u can NEVER set a pattern lock as ur phone password. Reason? Read the above. 11. Widgets? Ever heard of ios 8? 12. Tell me where else to keep apps beside the home screen. And before u mention folders, ios users have been enjoying that long since before it debuted on android kitkat. 13. Well u may have a point. 14. Thank God u said a few phones. Out of those phone users, how many actually use d feature. I had a galaxy mega for close to two years and i could count on one hand how many times i used that feature. NEXT 15. Point well noted. Rather than set that, ill ask my PA (Siri) to wake me up at five. Dasall Believe me, ive seen it all. Rooting xposed cyanogen 7-12. Odin etc. theres no big deal in android. [/b]You deserve a lagfree os where ure readily assured of an os upgrade for at least three years on a steady note, where ur device has a higher resale value Where d prices of devices dont drop like a steam pot Where u have a beautifully designed os which integrates with the hardware to produce a seamless experience and regular updates which shields you away from the need to flash roms. Where a 1gb ram dualcore device is more powerful than other octacore hexacore decarcore 3gb devices. Where a 1900mAH battery would last u for 24 hours 3g usage Welcome to ios 8.[b] TippyTop: |
Mystiqme:Yeah ive seen a lot. The last one i saw was a beautifully designed one.. Nano sim port, same bezel, ios ui and feel. Only for app store to display playstore and the poor dude was so happy he was buying it for 45k. I just had to step in with a word of advice. This phone is a vry good phone but if u plan on buying an iphone, this is not for u. Dude came back an hour later to say thanks. |
Apple reported a net profit of $18bn (£11.8bn) in its fiscal first quarter, which tops the $15.9bn made by ExxonMobil in the second quarter of 2012, according to Standard and Poor's. Record sales of iPhones were behind the surge in profits. Apple sold [/b]74.5 million iPhones in the three months to 27 December - well ahead of most analysts' expectations.[b] In a conference call with financial analysts Apple's chief executive Tim Cook said that demand for phones was "staggering". However, sales of the iPad continued to disappoint, falling by 18% in 2014 from a year earlier. The demand for Apple's larger iPhone 6 Plus model appeared to help boost profits and increase the iPhone's gross profit margin - or how much Apple makes per phone - by 2% to 39.9%. However, Apple did not give a breakdown of sales for the iPhone 6 and other models. Apple shares rose more than 5% in trading after the US markets had closed. Buster Hein, who edits the "Cult of Mac" website, told the BBC that iPhone sales had surpassed expectations. "Oh my gosh, it's unbelievable," he said. "I mean, a lot of us were expecting good iPhone sales during the holidays, but I don't think anybody really thought Apple was going to blow past 70 million units sold," he said. "Apple became the number one smartphone company in China in the last quarter, which was just huge for them," he added. line Preparations for the opening of an Apple store in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province Analysis: Richard Taylor, BBC North America Technology Correspondent Apple's impressive results represent a significant shift towards the massive untapped potential of China. With a strong line-up of devices entering the final quarter, it was able to reap the fruits of its deal with the world's biggest mobile network, China Mobile. However, the success of its latest big-screen iPhones may have contributed to further cannibalising sales of the iPad. The once unstoppable tablet is being further squeezed both by a resurgence in laptop sales, as well as by competition - both in an increasingly saturated US market and in emerging markets by lower-priced, rival machines. All eyes now are on the Apple Watch - but with a relatively high base price it is not clear whether it will be able to woo more than the Apple faithful. line Apple Watch, Cuppertino Apple also said that its newest product, the Apple Watch, was still on schedule and would begin shipping in April. [b][/b] All the iphone 6 killers, octacore otg super g, etc etc how market? ![]() |
Collinz2:Wa gbayii @op So because u can fraudlently change imei for using bis. Mtk device is the best. Poverty induced shii like some one said. Have you ever wondered why most top end phone oems use snapdragon or tegra chips. Ur cheap ass mtk only comes with chinese/asian knockoffs. A buggati and volvo wld get you to the same destination. But only one wld get there faster with less wear out than the other. #teamios |
lilbest4:Windows 10 is coming.. Anticipate |
Kindly allow me to disagree on one point u noted. Touchwiz on iphone 6 will definitely lag. Remember iphone 6 has only a dual core processor & 1gb ram to process the tasks as with 3gb on note 4 with quad core. Even with that touchwiz note4 is only a few secs faster Touchwiz is so loaded with junks you dont need and this affects overall performance. Note 4 specs on ios 8 will definitely be a killer phone, but as i mentioned earlier. Its easier building a phone and waiting for a free os to load on it than doing the two together. lilbest4: |
Olamide1997:Yeah thanks. I like that too Funnily according to a speedtest i viewed note 4 is about 5 secs faster than iphone 6 while d iphone 6 outclasses it in opening recent apps and multitasking. This is so breathtaking if u consider that the note 4 has 3gb ram, quadcore processor and iphone 6 has 1gb ram with a dual core peocessor (imagine what wld happen if it was 2gb). Thats where most androids have their shortcoming. They have to compesate the lag with higher specs. The note 4 in the test was a kitkat build(more lag is expected as it moves to lollipop) I do almost anything on my iphone 6 now. The cydia tweaks are amazingg. Only thing out of place is custom roms which u dont need since u have it all embedded in d ios . But if youre going for a note 4 chill till mid 2015.. Prices drop after s6 launch and anticipation for note 5 begins. |
adeolazzy:I do generally but I don't compromise performance for specs. Its a great device to some.. But not me |
emmanuel4758:Ohh shut up would u? Its my laptops antivirus ode. Perhaps if you have a stable system with a working antivirus you would notice it. Why tf am i going to put an antivirus on android? |
Definitely it is. Ill love to see dem handle intel or snapdragon chips not some cheap ass, low end boards. Nonsense DoroBen: |
ayoku777:Brother, I believe jesus came out of the wilderness after forty days right? So its easier seeing water than food? Its a grave danger reading literal meanings into the scriptures as it gives you the power to act according to your own interpretation of it. Thats how someone also said the other day that its okay to have sex with your husband/wife during the fasting period (day) because its not a sin according to the scriptures for couples to mate. Fasting is striving and depriving ur body and soul of all pleasures in order to get close to God. Drinking water during fast is almost the same as eating. You're supplying nutrients to ur body both ways. Like someone said earlier you could go days without food, but without water not that far. Take water if you must at the time wen uve broken the fast for the day. Ma salam/shalom |
And you forgot to add that most of these readers wont get to use it without 1. Buying a new device that runs lollipop stock pteloaded. 2. Custom rom 3. If ure thinking OTA and ur device isnt really much an highend, OYO lo wa. Most ppl are still stuck on the jellybean realm. If ure on kitkat u may be getting 4.4.4 max. Thats just got the bitter truth. N.b after months of waiting for kitkat for my galaxy mega, upgraded to cm12 android lollipop. Best android. But i love this ios 8 more. Ios 9 on the way. #team4.7in |
These android boys would never just let us be. the excitement about customization and apps die down the older and more occupied u get. That is when you get to know that a real good phone is not about babyish launchers, roms, and games apps but just those apps that assist you in acheiving your goal staying connected and using all the apps you need. every major developer has its app listed on their store. well because theres no youtube app, so what? Last i heard windows dont lag even with 512mb ram which your super android cant stand. your apps are not so spectacular like ios and the 1.4 million apps in your store has a greater percentage of fake apps than any other operating system. Pride comes before a fall. Symbian OS once thought no other OS could take its place. #TeamIOS |
Having icloud on is not the same as find my iphone feature. If that was turned on, theres no way youll be able to achieve that. |
Op kindly delete Tecno R7 gionee out of the list and let no one ever mention that infinix zero is 13mp. Its not about the numbers o. Kindly compare them with the others in the list. Some EM (equipment manufacturers, not necessarily original in this case) wld so overhype specs and we all know the end point. Crapdroids |
Leadn:Real life perfomance matters. Not bench mark figures. Wonder why every new release has to pitch with apple. Android noni |
None. Theyre both mtk chipset. Spits Strolls away |
Besides battery, also try looking out for perfomance. It solely depends on ur budget and what youll be doing mainly with the phone. |
Olamide1997:Well, nice critique though i may still be able to contest some of your points too. Android 5.0 came close. Ive used it so i believe i can vouch for it. On multitasking i recommended bb10 based on the app switching capability which i believe most android cannot match at the moment. On being water resistant, kudos to Sony for leading the pack for that, Apple too has led with different innovations too. Multi touch (which is used by every smartphone now, fingerprint etc so its nothing new. Only the s5 or maybe note 4 has a water resistant feature embedded. On display Apple uses the ips technology with retina display (packs a lot of more pixels together to give a fine display) th only advantage amoled has on it is that it gives a more black display because the electrodes focus on the color section when lighting up the screen Jailbreaking is now sooooo easyyy. Even my gf could run it. Its as simple as downloading the software tool (34mb max) connecting your phone to the system, select your os firmware and jailbreak while making sure the system is connected to the internet. Im sure if ure soaking garri or eating popcorn while waiting it wont take up to five minutes. You see its a bit less complex than jailbreaking with odin or almost the same as using shuame root method. It was during the era of redsnow jailbreak that it was complex try Taig jailbreak (the chinese are really good). The really downside to apple as u noted is that they make both hardware and software so theres more focus on the software integration. Thats the secret of being lagfree. Googles nexus too is more fluid in operations than the others. until recently it was one phone per year while the others have multitudes to produce with similar features. An iphone produced today is meant to last three generations at least. Iphone 4s (2011) is running ios 8.1.2 (2014). Samsung s3 released at the same period stopped at jellybean 4.3 mid 2013. Its much easier producing a hardware and waiting for a software to drop on it. If not tecno be and a host of other not so spectacular devices will still be on their 4 sim java products. Again producing a killer phone with all innovations in it will definitely hurt ur next product, its no secret s4 is doing well more than s5. And tecno phantom remains tecnos best selling product. The only funny thing i just noticed is that i mentioned iphone and u drew your comparisms from a lot of devices. Apple must join the android team. Thanks once again |
So because mtk allows users u change imei so u can perpetuate ur scam robbing ppl of their free data and using glo bis, its the best chipset. Smh. Even broadcomm wont say that where snapdragon is. But why argue Its dem mtkboys. Ali express fans |
Runzlord, well spoken.. Theyll be quick to condemn anything u say. Even the gionee jiayu infinix be elephone loving thread users will be here forming flagship. Everyone is quick to mention that android never heats up like we were born yesterday. Samsung s4 htc one users, are u still here? The op made some salient points. Android hangs ( yes all phones do) but if u put the android ecosystem at 80% and more than half of the android phones are midrange devices, why wont it hang? Pls spare me all those talk of 3000mAH 4000 bs, when a phone heats up due to usage (more energy is lost hence battery drain. Malware ish Remember when bbm came to ios and android. Part of the issue most android users faced was having to download various crapwares and malwares claiming to be bbm due to the opensourced nature of android playstore which led to the project being suspended. They are more malwares in the playstore than any other market. Octacore hexacore heptacore etc too much reliance on paper specs. yet theres no one close to bb10 in multitasking. If making an OS was an easy task tell your samsung htc jiayu elephone lg acer hp asus be tecno oems to make theirs not load the And before u mention customization, have u ever heard of jailbreaking? Thats your android equivalent of rooting and its sooooo superb infact most of its features are being loaded at the next ios update. 80% of u here are stuck for life on jellybean or gingerbread os. No movement up except u buy a new device. I was in ur shoes before Samsung Mega, lg ls840. (Super hot), grand duos, s duos. And before u say i dont know jack. I handle various devices everyday.So i know of heating, hanging and all. Begged for kitkat for aeons. moved to CM11 CM12. Dumped d crap. Joined d ios team. Loving life here. Ios 8.0.2, stepped up to 8.1.2 moving to 8.2 Still sure of getting ios 9 10 11. Three frigging years update! Can u say the same for your device |
Iphone is crap. New post everyday on how to make android look like ios. The other day one high dude was writing a post on how to transform tecno into iphone with appstore. At least i know of one thing u like about ios now Confusion in the air. |
The diehard #teammtkdevice fans (elephone,infinix, gionee,be, solo etc) wont let somoene hear word. it is highly out of this world to compare an infinix zero to a samsung s4. is it camera wise, memory wise or speed, features etc. bloody phone that the camera cant rival my dear old galaxy mega which was 8.0mp. Dont be decieved about paper specifications. get a samsung if you cant, dont trust the craps they bring. all na android mentality is the main problem we have here. |
I wonder why you ppl are always wowed about paper specifications. Youre so quick to shout octa core, 13 mp etc. its not by specs o. Little wonder why an 8mp samsung is by far clearer than a 13mp infinix or a 1.2mp front camera iphone has greater clarity than gionee,elephone et al. If it was so easy to surpass, all oems wld have been producing it. Everytime its one beast or the other, all these mediatek crap hanging all around. And before u add huawei and xiomi to the group of crapful droids. Ask why their flagship prices are high. Its all about build and quality. There are phones and there are handsets. Choose wisely. |
Some people are still celebrating 1gig ram in this age and time. Smh *strolls away* |
dele1727:Thank you, I love intelligent discussions without vulgar/curse words. To answer your questions. 1. Most of the data you use on your bb is being routed through the BlackBerry servers which offers enhanced data compression which benefits both the user and the network provider, that's why you have a datacap of 3gb. It in generosity. Only if you're a heavy downloader will you finish this. If you open third party applications, this data is routed through the network server hence the reason why you're charged at times eg streaming YouTube wld tell you additional network charges may apply. If there's no credit available on ur line, your services don't stop working. They still run on the network anyway. 2. As I stated above it depends on the server available to process your data. Sometimes the bb network data is not available to process your request then the phone auto switch (all BBS do this) to the network APN to send/receive the data. This at times is what zaps ur credit Lil by Lil 5k/KB. A call or visit to them to disconnect you from the network APN and place u in the blackberry APN alone will solve this but this will mean ure at the mercy of blackberry servers to process ur request all the time. Most data monitoring apps focus on the downloads acrued by the phone but do u know for every data downloaded, data is uploaded. But I wld like to tell u that that 1 mb for 1.5mb is a little bit distorted. All data run at the same pace no offpeak/onpeak. And I used to run out my data without hotspot u know how... Movies, softwares etc. Even at the end, its 2.7gb at d end of the month. |
ajasa4link:So to teach them a lesson, u resorted to using cheats? Wonderful! With this ideology, believe me if data became 500 you'll still find a way to bypass it. I keep saying this its not by force to use android. You can only pay for what you can afford. Simple. A lot of ppl stuck to symbian and java phones while blackberry sub was N5k and nobody raised hell then. With time sub wld be competitive, at least your darling airtel started with N1000 for 100mb |
Uchefrancis16:I don tire for them.. Much emphasis is being placed on paper specs and not on performance. Since the beginning of 2013, there is no week u won't see a new thread proclaiming a new beast, or device that will wow u and the only thing they have in common are theyre mtk devices, mostly 1gb to 2gb I can bet u that device 13mp is like a regular 8mp. When I see stuffs like this. What I want answered is how durable this phones are, their performance overtime and build, resolution in low light, battery usage and not just what the retailer puts up.. It costs much money to make a phone and for that price I'm sorry but what u see is what u get. |
I'm skeptical about this Chinese rooting stuffs. Reason ismalware also is being added on while rooting. How do I know this, there's dis Chinese Android Dev site (I think they engineered kingroot) that u can root ur phone via USB connection too online) and every time I used it for rooting my antivirus pops up notification for malware's downloaded ( euphemism: virus) to the system. Samsung has the best rooting/ROM loading scheme Just download odin, download d root file and flash. U get Su |
Op.. I wonder where u got ur idea from. 1. Yes 3gb app work for blackberry apps, u may get charged extra for WhatsApp etc(not all the time, its APN dependent, which makes it look like u never lack connection all the time unlike others). It works on zero balance 2. If ur 100mb is taken as 150mb, then oga u need either a new phone or calculator. 3gb for a bb os 7 and below is ernomous, Lots of ppl never get to finish it,don't know where u got ur calculation from. 3 and 4 U bought a blackberry data plan bro, why are u complaining about hotspot etc, this was never a problem for u me or others in the past why now? If u must use android get a data plan (have u noticed the network is never saturated, there are different plans for everybody, no shortcuts. I believe it was only Etisalat and Glo that were giving 3gb while d others were between 200 to 2gb for higher. 5. Though network coverage may differ, I tell u wherever u see the network, its always blazing fast. Ask ur neighbors. |

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 1.5gb ram, 8gb rom dual core broadcom 2600mA, Software.. CM 12 (Android lollipop 5.0) Pros. Massive, durable (has fallen many times, still looks fresh), battery is still superb over a year usage, Con's. U have to guard ur original charger (no charger less than 2A wld charge it) No amoled display DPI is at 240 Not much support for it until cyanogen came on board No Samsung update since last year (thank God for CM) iPhone is next.. Nothing more to see on android
