tqsmile: Boss I did took that step, I was told to go to their head office which I did, they didn't see it as a robbery or scam case but somehow put the blame on me for not calling the bank (Diamond) immediately. I report the stolen phone to the police and they bill me for 20k. But they said it was 50/50 chance and they started asking the worth of the phone, and if they haven't transfer the money in my account. I couldn't answer those questions, I just told them I'll be back.
adanny01: You've not heard of Jumia Global before? The phone i am typing from is Xiaomi MI5 from Jumia Global. It takes longer to arrive but its not from "hustlers" as you call it.
E2000: Speaking of price to match specs at a good bargain the infinix is far ahead of the Xiaomi. For example the infinix note 5 rocks a Mali G71 gpu, a 2.0ghz octa core processor, 3 gig ram, 32 gig Rom. Plus every other common specs are not in the bad range plus she have the most required sensors. Many persons just come here to talk without proper understanding of this stuffs. You pay excessively for something u don't really need for example you will pay the cost of sensors you may likely never use on phones but personally speaking that does not make the better since most of the things you pay for you don't really need hence a waste of resources. So personally price does not mean better since a vast majority never really use what they paid for because the most likely will never use this stuff.
So for me the Infinix is a better pick in terms of required specs for money I really don't need the additional stuff some Xiaomi phones may claim to offer for cut throat prices since I will most likely never use this stuffs hence a waste of precious resources .
octa core processor should have a name na- lets hear it. You still don't get it, xiaomi packs more specs, its more durable and it's still cheaper. How it's the infinix better?[/quote]
2kurupt: It can but the frustration you'll get from either EFCC or Nigerian police (not like they're different anyway) will be far more than the actual crime. The banks too are usually slow and will keep stalling like you're bugging them.
For the EFCC, You'll be asked to open "file" of which cost shall depend on what you've lost & your net worth. You'll pay to get documents e.g. affidavit, warrants etc at ridiculous costs, Virtually every move they make will be financed by you
Guy, just pray you'll never experience such theft in order not to use their services
thanks for this info. A case of " you want to be safe, watch your own back"
tqsmile: Same poo happens to me last year march when my redmi note 4 was stolen from me on my way home in the evening. I call customer care to block my line immediately I got home, but it took them like 30 minutes to pickup. Long story short, I went to the bank next morning and it was not funny. 100k gone. I request for how the amount was drawn, they said through USSD, but I've never use bank USSD on my phone before. They said yes the thief activated it for me, since my register SIM is with him. All this operation happens within 10 minutes. The phone is still useless with him till date. SIM lock is the way forward, Airtel customer service advice.
but the money was transferred to an account right? Can't the account be traced and blocked or the owner of the account nabbed through that?
messymelly: don't even let me expose Xiaomi mid range phones with useless processor mtchew Xiaomi note 6 down are equipped with useless processors and any SPD GPU 512 is useless. Xiaomi make their best phones with mi ,mix,poco and why the Bleep did they include ads on their phone....bsomeone compared Samsung with Xiaomi baba if I tell you how many cores , displays used on Samsung flagship you will regret comparing the two. yes Xiaomi makes affordable phones with good specs just watch now Samsung has joined the league. believe it or note note 7 supposed to come with better processor but though pro version came with better GPU.
more cores equals better performance? Did you say you are a developer? Hope it's not estate developer?
Did you just say that REDMI 4X NOT REDMI NOTE 4X was their best seller? You like compact phone, that's good but know that people like you, even though much are still a minority compared to those that likes bigger phone.
NiggasInParis: Nothing is more frustrating like a phone charging slowly. How can a device be charging for 5 good hours..Please any seller of authentic fast charger
shapoh: The first MiFans Meeting in Nigeria would be held in April, Location and information are still on for discussion with officials from the Xiaomi HQ. You can join the group by sending the word MiFans via whatsapp to the number 08025959521.
Holuwaxheun: If u have to say it is better than the Poco f1, in what aspect did it win, only the camera and design if i may say. But will u say a student that pack 2 prizes is better than another that pack 8 prizes? No of cos.
mikeycharles: All I see is facts and zero lies but I wish those sales reps will stop suggesting trash and actually render advice to patronizing customers. I could remember when I was in school and was making use of a really dope Lenovo device and my brother at home wanted to get a phone but was impatient for me to get back home so he followed my Mother and got an $80 piece of trash called Tp-Tel like what the F and the sales rep was the one who advised my brother to go for it. I mean this phone had a Samsung clone-like ROM installed with WhatsApp but the app never opened for one day, it was like the love child of Nokia C2 and Sony Ericsson but retardedd at birth.
someone here shouting POVERTY, and his mum who's supposed to be rich buying TP TEL, not even iPhone, Samsung, Huawei even Xiaomi or Tecno. Who does that as a rich person
Holuwaxheun: Thank God you are being sincere with your answer here. And if I may ask, why do u prefer the former to Note 7pro?
This is where u are getting it wrong bro. I am not contemplating about the prices here, but the fact that the SD 845 is faster than SD675, and the difference is really obvious. Don't let's be subjective with our claims here
bro my point all along has been "fast enough" (for me). Look at the difference from the video 16sec. What about other factors like ergonomics, camera etc? So you see that speed is just one aspect of a phone. REDMI note 7 pro as far as I'm concerned is a better package than the poco f1. Lets rest this bro, that's my opinion, you are entitled to yours.
yeah rich boy, always quick to shout poverty! Same you that your mum can't afford a decent Android phone for your younger brother and ended up buying what you called RUBBISH yourself. Same you that called Xiaomi cheap and fake, here you are, rolling on a Xiaomi floor. Life is never about what you claim or the picture you want others to see, it's about who you are. You can hide it all you want but that's who you are.
mikeycharlles: OMG People really out here comparing the Snapdragon 800 series to the 600 ones, poverty is doing so many things This is not the same argument about okrika clothing vs boutique
yes, it's all about poverty, that's how some people will be carrying a plot of land on their hands. Rich man, the phone you use is never what determines how rich or poor you are.
