Bro... I like your analysis but Oneplus 3 @$399 is not because of it office in the US. Even in China the smartphone costs 2,499 Yuan, multiple that by 0.1573 and you'll see the results, and if you need more prove, check out Oneplus 3 Pricing in all markets HERE, it same all through. Another is Oneplus One sold for $299 officially in 2013. What actually raised the price of 1+3 to $399 is because of the hardware there in. Snapdragon 820, 6 GB RAM, Sony IMX298 16 mega-pixel camera, Sony IMX179 8 mega-pixel front facing camera, Anodized Metal body etc, is enough to be sold at $399.

And finally, If I were to be you, I won't use Oneplus to argue Tecno because these two companies, although from same country, but they are world apart when it comes to pricing. Imagine it Oneplus that launch the Camon C9 in Nigeria, I mean say it Oneplus Camon C9, with Mediatek MT6753 chipset and just 2gb RAM, it would probably cost between 30-35k. I'm not bashing Tecno, but their products bore me.

And if you think there's 13 mega-pixel front and back camera in the Camon C9, then you are joking, cos I can bet either one of the camera sensor MUST BE INTERPOLATED.

OK OK OK.... Sorry for interrupting, now you guys can continue your argument.

Couldn't have said it any better

Bro I get u. Let's look at it from this angle. If tecno didn't have office in Nigeria, if they sold their phones only online and shipped, believe me the tecno camon c9 would sell for about 42k. U know why? Because they won't worry about paying tax to the Nigerian government, they won't worry about spending billions to build or rent offices, they won't worry about aftermarket support, they won't worry about paying their ambassadors. All these things cost money. If u buy a tecno phone today and it develops fault in a few days, u can take it back under warrantee.. I want to see u do that with ulephone or blueboo. Not that it is not possible but the stress alone will discourage u. Tecno phones are not manufactured in Nigeria, they are manufactured in China and shipped to Nigeria. They pay lots of tax to have their business set up here.

I'll give u an example... when one plus one launched in 2013, they didn't have offices in the USA, u have to order online through invite and phone was sold for just $200 with flagship specs. 3 Years later they are now a bigger company and have offices set up in many countries, one plus 3 just launched and it is selling for $400. When u order that phone it is going to cost u nothing less than 150k to get it to Nigeria. U know why? They now have shops in the USA and are paying tax. It is a great phone, a flagship killer but with 1080p display which means it won't be ideal for vr. I have a Samsung gear vr and even with 2k display on the s6/s7 u still see pixels when in vr, so a 1080p phone will be terrible for vr.

All you have said is true.....no doubt but how many Nigerians are tech savvy enough to know about VR let's even say they do do they have the dough to get one...that's another thing entirely I get the whole concept tho but we both could have avoided the whole epistle since what I'm saying in short is that for gadget freaks like me ooo we damn the consequences get all the accessories we might need at point of purchase and get a good device the warranty that's too bad nothing can be done about it and just because our economy is bad and inflation has set in doesn't mean that a particular thing is expensive.. I stand to be corrected thk as I'm no economist

greenhulk:
I'm not disputing ur point. But can u pls mention elephone, blueboo, and other Chinese phones apart from xioami with 1080p display, then state their price. It is not easy to see a well known 1080p phone that is under 50k.. rare if u ask me. Most of these phones u mentioned have 720p display, the ones with 1080p will cost u 50k upwards.

Also about the Samsung j7 720p display, I disagree with u that it is full HD just because it is amoled, that is the misconceptions mist people are getting... that a 720p amoled is equivalent to 1080p IPS. It is wrong.. both technologies have their advantages and disadvantages, while amoled are vibrant, ips represent a more true color. So if a phone has 720p amoled display doesn't mean it is equivalent to 1080p IPS.. no way bro.

Never said that cause its 720p and AMOLED makes it 1080p I'm not stupid now haba give me some credit it's just that most peeps prefer AMOLED screens cause they tend to be better than IPS screens I leave that for screen peeps to argue tho. If you read my post well I said it's HD albeit not fullHD(FHD) which is 1080p abi HD doesn't include 720p again if I'm not mistaking HD starts from 480p 720p and 1080p then you start talking 2K and 4K. In my first post I never bashed the screen I only meant if it was 1080p and AMOLED it would have been better but 1080 and IPS I can live with after all my K3 Note is 1080 and IPS. As per the 1080p phones under 50K they are plenty it's just that our economy now ain't smiling and even at that you'd still find some. My Lenovo K3 Note has a 1080p screen 4G 2gb of Ram 16gb of inbuilt storage Android 5.1 and I've updated 4 times since I got it with pending update to 6.0, Octacore processor 3000mah battery Lets not forget 13mp back and 5mp front cameras that are dope, All @ 42k5. That being said you've almost gotten what I'm saying yes a few of them are under 50k but the ones that are above 50k also have better specs compared to Tecno such as finger print 3gig of Ram Android 6.0 all out of the box....

greenhulk:
I understand what u are trying to say. But lets be honest, 90% of cheap phones coming from China have 720p display, some of them we don't even know what they are made of, they just quote wrong specs but since phones don't have to go through regulatory bodies, they get away with it. You can buy a phone from china today for 30k with impresive specs, but the moment u buy it that's the end. No aftermarket support, no accesories, no update, no warrantee. Tecno has become a household name in Nigeria, they have offices, they pay tax, they participate in promotions, they create jobs for Nigerians, they provide aftersale support.

I'm not here to promote Tecno, I've never used any of their products. But what I'm trying to say is not too far from the truth. Yes we all want cheap phones, if it was 2 years ago thi phone would have sold for 30k. If Tecno release a phone with bad build quality and terrible screen, some will complain that Nigeria is a dumping ground. Now they try to release a phone with premium feel and FHD display, we say it is too expensive.... better things na money kill am oh. A galaxy j7 with 720p screen and 1.5gb of ram costs 75k.

I also hear what you are saying brother and I understand first point of correction if I'm not mistaken that 720p screen of Samsung is an amoled screen and its also HD albeit not full HD and yes there are some brandless Chinese phones that are complete trash but those are not the ones I'm talking about I'm talking of the likes of Elephone Ulefone Cubot Doogee Vernee Oukitel Bluboo dare I mention the top expensive brands LeEco Lenovo Xiaomi Zuk Meizu Nubia ZTE Huawei and the list goes on and on the brands that are not too well know that I mentioned offer devices that have better specs than the C9 at way cheaper prices. I do know the ones you're talking about but those are not the ones I'm talking about. I'm talking about Chinese phones that pass through TENAA before being release to certify that they are viable for use and after all is said and done still offer better specs for better value...You classify phones according to their class Budget Mid-range and High-end If you had said 90% of all the budget phones I'd have agreed with you whole heartedly but this is a phone that aims to be in the mid-range category those specs are meagre for the price compared with midranges coming from China right now. As regards the after care support like it's not like they don't have they actually do but since most of their phones do not have a strong presence in Nigeria how do you go about getting the after care support? Sending your devices there cost a lot not to even talk about getting it fixed..all things being equal in Nigeria that wouldn't have been a problem unless you're a gadget freak. The brand I mention do have updates which are regular although some aren't but at least do. They also have warranty and accessories which you do get upon purchase of the phone you can also order some albeit not a viable option for Nigerians presently cause of the state of the economy. I'm not downgrading Tecno. You are right in the jobs tax and promotions it's a win win for the economy and for some peeps but if a brand like Elephone or Ulefone were to come into the fray the would reduce their price cause of the competition and those ones would be offering specs almost on par with Samsung for way better prices...like I said in my previous post I just want them to up their game a bit... premium feel is mainly about the build and design of the device its just that for peeps like me design matters but so does the specs and the price which should be gotten as a result of the combination of both the design and specs..my 2 bytes

Feranchek:
Bros you no lie o0o!! And to think that almost all the guys that are commenting are actually hailing this mumu, is quite appalling!

Simple miscommunication and immaturity that is the problem of most relationship he said it was cool and you just assumed he was gonna pay.. babe common now on the first date pha. She said she was bringing friends and you knew you couldn't afford it why couldn't you just tell her bae look I really like you and all its our first date and and right now I can only afford just us but your friends are welcome if they'd pay their own..way, instead you let her and friends get there with the assumption that you'd be handling the bills the hell..?? I mean if you had told her that and she was a rational understanding human being, there shouldn't be a problem... and the babe self no try I mean it's your first date the guy is probably nervous trying to impress and you take three friends along with you that's three more peeps to impress.. in all ramifications let's even forget the monetary aspect that's a bit over the top don't you think....haba you like the guy to an extent and are you're exposing to your best critics and on the first date .... later when you all get together they be like that your boyfriend self...smh just my 2bytes

Let me understand you well as regards point 4
All applications, programs and services are made by Apple if this is what you mean..I laugh in Zulu

I love china phones..but common people j7 and c9 jus because one is new doesn't mean it's better than the other...tho

Bros, we all know Mercedes benz is ahead of Hyundai. But a Hyundai Genesis is a far better car than a mercedes benz A class.

Zero chill bruv this brutal now 8:43 is too early

greenhulk:
Haba dey talk true small na. This phone is more different from the c8 than the Galaxy s7 is from the s6. Different design, better camera, double the ram, 1080p full HD display (this one is a major improvement ), aluminum body. That is enough difference bro.

Bros I honestly don't know the angle you're coming from if you're talking from just an average users point to view then by all means it's okay but for peeps who are geek and gadget freaks there's no much difference, the processor is almost old as there are better processors from the same manufacturers, other Chinese firms that produce Android devices now give their midrange devices a minimum of 3gb of Ram. The screen is okay. For this price range a finger print sensor wouldn't have been a bad idea and would Android 6.0 be a crime. The battery isn't bad. The specs of the c9 is almost being the default specs for budget phones in China...so they need to up their game the only aspect they got it right is the design but that's of little interest to me. my Lenovo K3 Note has almost exactly the same specs and I have a pending update to Android 6.0 and it 12k cheaper...just my 2 bytes tho

Hmmmmm. I have actually taught about it. My friends are persuading me to take the office job but I still remain resilient because I know what I get from it.

You did something before you ventured into the lecture business you prayed and he answered do the same. Weigh the cons and the pros of both jobs and pick whichever one has the best advantages and don't look at the present and how both jobs would affect you now but look at how they will affect your future.

Good Afternoon....
Nice to see a lot of peeps going for computer science courses...tho

mrkayusfit:
I guess this loads of problems u stated above started on may 29 2015 after swearing Buhari in bah?? When GEJ your fellow Niger deltan ruled for 6 years what efforts did he make to better the lives of the average Niger deltan? Instead he made tompolo and the likes of asari billionaires at the detriment of your people who have no drinking water. Buhari's first action was to order a $1bn clean up of the Niger delta starting from ogoni land. U people remained quiet for 6yrs since GEJ na your son and hero of corruption. Now you are ranting like a baby as if other regions in nigeria live better than you people. The government failed us all as Nigerians. We all don't have constant electricity, no good roads, graduate without jobs, no potable water, no welfare package and other problems scattered in every region due to failed leadership. We are not better than the average Niger deltan. Over 95% of Nigerians live in abject poverty while the elites from every region sit on national wealth. How are we better off? The avengers are another group out to get its share. Once the government calls them to the table and settle them with amnesty and they become billionaires like the tompolo's, they cease fire and the problems u lament about remains. You think those thugs care about you or your environment? All they want is money. If they love the Niger delta so much they won't degrade it further by bursting pipes. Their actions makes your land poisonous for farming, your fishes and crabs will not survive. The problem of the Niger delta is the man standing in front of the mirror. Every one of u shares the blame because of the our OYEL mentality

True though but as bombing them isn't an option cause both of you're are right in more ways than one or I'd like to think so what are we now gonna do sincere question....

mrkayusfit:
By now the Niger delta skies ought to be filled with helicopters and bomber Jets from the Nigerian airforce so they can do reconnaissance and possibly eves drop on the militants by monitoring their communications. These ragtag militants from the 5% region should not be allowed to hold the country to ransom. Buhari should give a shoot at sight order to the military so the avengers can pee in their pants. if not for the innocent people living in the Niger delta, I would have recommended a total leveling of the region if necessary. We the SW and core North are the only region not disturbing the peace of Nigeria. The 5% people are just a pain in our asses.

Unfair much.... I'm not saying what they are doing is right oooo but...they've suffered enough bombing them is not the solution

helenmi:
You were only saying all these because you ain't a newbie... you talking bout previous thread... so you expect someone to read all through that, to me... it's NOT fair. If a newbie ask question, nothing is wrong in answering politely. Either treated before or not. We all gonna learn more both oldbie and newbie. And it in now way slow down any thread bro. I'm a newbie, so I know how it feels and am an oldbie in other thread. We are all brothers here. You saying google is like looking for a needle in a sea, it is frustrating. So responding to newbie ain't at all bad. Av met dudes here that helped me one on one here. So it's all good.

You seem to forget something I'm kinda still a newbie sir. My first appearance on this thread was in the middle of the second thread. When I came on someone even told me to forget the German ish for now and focus on my bsc. If you read through my post you'd see were I told peeps to answer a bit more politely and less sarcastically. I even admitted to being guilty of this at times. It was just my opinion. When I came on this thread as a newbie it wasn't easy for me I read both the first and the second thread thoroughly there was a time I could tell you the page number for some particular issues. Just my own opinion tho I think this is the last time i as a person I will talk about this ish I guess the thread is changing, Its sad tho it's just research it couldn't hurt and how does knowing stuff I've already known help me in anyway. Lastly when I dropped the advice about Google being your friend I meant that as a last resort, if after you've tried getting all the info for a particular ish all to no avail. Then avail yourself of google services simple. That being said tho I will help in any way I can and in whatever manner. Cheers bruv God bless

ghowkay:
i dont see a reason for this, i asked a question if you dont wanna answer no problem,, Do you take me for a kid or something? Please lets have mutual respect for each other..Because you did the exam doesnt make it cheap. I'm stating the obvious

Honestly I get where you're coming from and were honour is coming from. The policy of this thread if I'm not mistaken is that when you come in and you're new you or not particularly clear about an issue you ask a question and if your question has not been treated before we treat it then and there, but if it has we refer you to the previous threads to read up, why you ask? When you ask your question and someone determines it's spoon-feeding and answers albeit a bit harshly or not (and you can't blame them if they do) you and him start
having issues

1. It starts derailing the thread, how? both warring parties that's you and whomever it is that is answering your question start having issues and If it gets personal we start hearing insults people start taking sides and we all know how it goes from there and peeps start posting their own opinions for example how many comments have you and him and other peeps had on an issue that all you had to do was read previous threads. Leaving the main purpose as to why this thread was created in the first place

2. Because of number one above the thread becomes unnecessarily longer for a reason that's has been properly dissected and treated before and all you had to do to avoid this is read.

3. Because of the above the thread is now long and important information is now hidden in between the post of you and him having issues, people posting their own comments for example I almost missed the info about the rise in the amount for the blocked account, because I was just scrolling down thinking they've started again.

So you see my brother...it's not about him writing the exam or him not having mutual respect for you or him taking you for a kid. It's because after telling peeps to do something every time, time and time again it gets frustrating and annoying. Even you would be frustrated at that. I honestly don't know if you've been told to read the previous thread but please do it will clear up almost every question you have.

Now to those answering newbies or peeps asking about a particular topic please be a bit lenient and less sarcastic (I'm also talking to my self cause I'm also guilty of that) when answering. I seem to remember some one having an issue with another person in the first thread I think and the person said some thing "It's not that I don't appreciate your correction but it is the manner in which it was done" he even went on to say that if it was someone else the way in which they would answer would encourage you to wanna dig up more info about that topic. That being said GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND USE HIM PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE
