I want to buy a NEW phone, and Redmi note 8 is my choice. What should be my budget and where can i get it in Umuahia?

Bro, the price of phones have gone up in this era... So expect to buy the note 8 at 65k to 70k.
As for where you can get it in your state I don't know
But make enquires about these stores.... Raya or pointek if they exist in your state... They should have it.

Be clear on the variant you want... be it WiFi-only or LTE

AnaCheks:
Thanks so much. Please at what price can I buy it now?

I can't say but I'm pretty sure that prices have gone up.
If you want I can drop the name of the reseller that got for me on this platform maybe he can help.

abdsamad:


i hear good things about mediapad m6. worth considering too

I love pads
I'll check it out

AnaCheks:
mi pad 4 4gb/64gb

My time with the pad so far...
The pad is meant for productivity and work which is why I got it in the first place
Also Suitable for gaming
Don't expect extra much from the camera in low light cos it is built for productivity
Lol If your hands can be as stable as OIS or EIS... then you'll get good pic out of it in well lit environment... Same goes for videos
Battery will last you beyond a day even with intense use
Build of the phone is very solid

I'm using the WiFi-only version
I noticed on GSMarena that the LTE version don't support most bands... Take note

AnaCheks:
Can you explain the variants please?

mi pad 4 and mi pad 4 plus
8 inches and 10.1 inches
Battery 6000 and 8620 Respectively
Everything else is same.

The mi pad 4 has two sub-variants... LTE and WiFi-only variants
The mi pad 4 plus doesn't have sub variants

AnaCheks:
Good morning house, please how good is Mi Pad? Thank you

I'm using it to type this
It's good.
You know there are two variants right?
So which are you referring to?

proyeise:

Alright thanks

ityP:



That shit works o. Very well sef.

Oh ok bro

stano2:
it works, unless the quality is now low. I used it on my former tab, it makes the screen stronger.
There was a night my tab hit on the floor with so much force but yet it didn't crack.
Although after like 5months, one need to reapply the liquid guard, i noticed mine was fading with time. On the pack of nano liquid, it's written there "one year validity".

I agree with you bro that's why I said it's a bit of a gimmick.... I didn't say it's all a gimmick.

pjewelSilva:
I got my redmi note 8 two months ago and applied the nano liquid screen protector, so far there's no scratch on it..but someone just told me to get a tempered glass to act as double protection for my screen. Is it advisable to do that? hope the tempered glass won't leave patches on the screen?

If applied appropriately and diligently... You won't have bubbles beneath it.
The nano thing is a bit of a gimmick right now... You can't be absolutely sure it works.

olanreyman:

Well our individual preferences differs. As for me I would pick s9+ over any phone made in 2020 with lesser spec. We've got people still buying some years old used note 4x, we've got people still holding to theirs tight and still enjoying fluid performance, we've got people still enjoying buttery smooth performing on note 5 Pro. So for s9+ it suddenly becomes a phone that wouldn't not perform overtime again even with the shrewd specs? If phone na beast na beast nothing fit change am. The truth is s9+ would still outperform note 9s in 2050.

The phones you quoted lived long because the users bought them new not used. And it makes a whole lot of difference. The shelf life of the s9+ has significantly reduced because it has been used previously.
Cos I see that your points are solely based on the chipset chipset and chipset without considering other crucial factors that play an important part in the phone.
Just like you said preferences differ.
I hope the person we're arguing for .... Lol... Should be able to make an informed decision based on either sides of the deliberation so far.
Anyways I admire your intelligence. Nice one

olanreyman:

True sha. But for me if you keep s9+ and the recent redmi note 9s I would go for s9+ without thinking twice. Sd 720G would never match sd 845 of for years ago

It's not about the chipset per se... It's the overall experience in the short-term and long term. If he goes with the s9+ the phone will most likely be problematic than utilitarian under a year or a little over a year. Whereas a new phone is highly probable to take him 3 years and counting. My bet is still on a new phone rather than an old used flagship.

olanreyman:

Baba buy the s9+ sd845 model provided it's in mint condition. You wouldn't get better value and quality for 100k that's the simple truth

There's one major caveat with all these used phones..... Battery.
Just so you know... The s9+ is on its last run for software updates and optimizations (if it hasn't already sef). Get something more current (preferably new at that price point) and have peace of mind. Don't be tricked by that chipset... A whole lot of other factors may frustrate the experience

Utchaykuku:
Guys I need ur advice on this,
Been very patient for the note 9 series
Seems it's only the 9s they're releasing in the Nigerian markets, I've waited for Soo long for note 9pro(max), how soon would be in Nigeria bor I should just settle for the note 9s....I don dey wait this my tecno phone dey make me cry�

First off, it's not only 9s they're releasing here...
If you can hold up to mid May... Or if you check the threadstore.... There are very nice deals coming from this week

ladykilllar:


Price range of the MI NOTE10 lite?

Guessing the full story should be out mid May

madgoat:
No one is talking about Mi Note 10lite here.
Seems i have fallen in love with that fone now; let me shift from RN9S.

Guessing we're in the same boat
