Cirphrank: ROM ROM over RAM? are you kidding me? dude the least ROM can't even hold a phone with good RAM down to bad performance! ROMs for smartphones always come with ability to be expanded to at least 32GB most times. So what's your contempt with that?
And chipset? First off, are you a Heavy Gamer? If yes then I understand your plight. No? then you are just after what will be of almost no use to you. Even old form of chipset can satisfy an average phone user! Even a single core processor clocking at 1GHz can please many out there. Do you know you might use a phone with dual core processors clocking at 1GHz and another with octa core processor clocking at 1.3GHz for six months and observe that non runs app faster than the other? OEMs have been playing on the ignorance of many, filling devices with multi processors and thus slamming high prices on them meanwhile most app out there available for use can only run itself on a single processor at a time, apps that can spread itself to run on multi processors at a time are rare and not even needed by many. The highest for of processor I'd prefer in a phone is quad core and it is not even really necessary! Know why most new phones get so hot easily and battery tend to drain fastly? e.g the infinix Zero 2, it's 'cos it has more processors to handle! and that is a battery killing task! Higher GPU is same, I think I read even iPhone 6s plus had similar prob with a type of the model. Bottomline bro is, high chipset not needed if you ain't an heavy gamer with regular power supply in Nigeria!
Point of correction, I am not a dude.
It seems you haven't use high end Chipset and well optimised ROM. Get a phone with Snapdragon 808 and above with MIUI 6 or 7 or Flyme OS come back and drop your testimony.
If you can get a phone with high end Chipset, 1 or 2GB RAM, well optimised ROM and 2500 - 3000mAh you're good to go. Mind you new Chipset are always designed to consume less power than old ones.
A phone with 4GB ram and those Chipset Tecno do use will still lag when you multi task it.
My phone running MIUI 7 Kit kat gives me almost same features with Lollipop and also ones not available in stock Lollipop.
To me, I consider mainly Chipset and ROM before other things.
Too sad, many do not know the function of Chipset and ROM, what they're after is big ram and battery.
Infinitikoncept: Thank God your friend has contacted you fast. But really it's a shameful act perpetrated by Chinese and even Alibaba or 1688.com don't help matters in judging such cases. I still have a case with a Chinese friend on something like this and your police is not helping matters but you can see how Nigerians rally around you eventhough they don't know you or yet to confirm your story but the opposite is the case for Chinese swindlers
Chinko guys are good at selling sub standard goods at high price.
debeo: Hnmmm? Have y used Flyme OS before? The OS is smoother than MIUI. MIUI is kinda 'girly' sha. But flyme? Super cool. Seriously looking for how to port ooo. I've installed twrp, downloaded flyme4.5.5I rom just for for d yeye kernel, make I no brick my phone
imas: OP, BVN does not give access to your account, so even if someone has the number, the worst that can happen is that they get your personal and biometric details, but be rest assured your money is safe
It's not about lossing your money, rather using your data to commit crime.
Inioluwa01: It is very obvious these PDP senators are only out to cause the house and the present administration unnecessary troubles. How on earth is the 5k campaign promise for unemployed youths now the most pressing issue to thrash out with the govt? The govt keeps lamenting about how the past administration, spearheaded by his majesty, the 'DADDY OF DEMONCRAZY', looted and emptied the treasury thereby leading to serious economic instabilities and the next thing is 5k for unemployed youths Smh

You must be funny, how did you convert this your 220 euro to Naira. At what exchange rate?
