get a Nokia 6.1+ with 6GB RAM and 64gb ROM for 56,000 on jumia with Snapdragon 636 and a lot of features like WiFi 5.0 etc
It has a 16mp main camera and a 5 MP depth camera as well as 16mp front camera
The screen size is 5.8 inches and the resolution is 1080p
The only downside is that the battery capacity is quite small (3000mah) but unlike most Tecno phones the processor is energy efficient so don't be surprised if it outlasts a Tecno or infinix phone that claims to have a higher battery capacity
It's outfitted with a Gorilla glass 3 on both the front and the back
I know a heavy user that's having no problems with this phone whatsoever
It's strong enough to play a game like COD at high graphics settings



You can get Redmi note 8 for about 55-63k or so on AliExpress
If you're patient you could go for it Delivery would take some time though
It has a 48 MP main camera 8mp ultrawide 2mp depth and 2 MP macro
It has a 13mp front camera
It has 4000 mah battery and has a Snapdragon 665 chipset
It'll play COD at very high graphics settings (higher than the Nokia and the umidigi)
The screen size is 6.3 inches and the resolution is 1080p
It's got gorilla glass 5 on the front and the back
It has an infrared blaster
And is splash resistant



There's also Umidigi A7 pro
You must've heard of it as well
It's just 45k or so and it's 4gb ram 64gb ROM
The 4gb ram 128gb ROM is around 50k
It's a decent phone with nice cameras and 4000 mah battery with Helio p23 chipset
It has a 16mp main camera 16mp ultrawide 5mp depth and 5mp macro
It also has a 16mp front camera
The screen size is 6.3 inches and the resolution is 1080p
It's got no Gorilla glass protection but for its price it's quite understandable
It's strong enough to play tasking games like COD at Medium graphic settings
If you're interested you could visit the umidigi thread here on Nairaland for more info and for a purchase with a more comfortable delivery




I added the gaming part so you know how strong each phone is....
Choose well Good luck

Barbsamiin:
Depend on the type of work you're going to do with 'em, if don't borther inefficient battery you can go for samsung else go for Redmi. forget about Nokia it lack high perfomance.

Your assertion about Nokia isn't entirely true sir
The op can even get a Nokia 6.1+ with 6GB RAM and 64gb ROM for 56,000 + on jumia with Snapdragon 636 and a lot of features like WiFi 5.0 etc

The only downside is that the battery capacity is quite small (3000mah)

Honourable minister off your mic!

BoluwajiPieters:
LOL. You're correct with everything else but you'd definitely get Android 10 and MIUI 12 but not just very soon. Maybe even towards the end of the year (Say November December...)

LOL
or towards the start of next year
I'd love to get my hands on the new floating windows feature
I'm not in a hurry though

quisera:
Android 10 update on RN8...Got it yesterday

Lol sorry to hurt your feelings but it's not android 10
I also got the update yesterday
If you check your phone's about section you'll find that it's android 9 (pie)
More so the name or whatever of a Xiaomi android 10 update would start with 'q'(Miui 11.0.1.0.QCNMIXM) It'll look something like this

Moreso android 10 update is around 700 to 800 mb

It's just a system stability update and if they released an miui 11 update it really made me doubt if we're getting MIUI 12 because why improve on the old one when we're expecting a newer version?..

Nigerians are fond of spinning up some untrue myths

It's just like saying that you must charge your new phone to 100% before first usage


Brother get your power bank and enjoy your phone

The pouch is very good oohh

sureinfo:
lol, well i think transsion is selling because of their device availability and after sales services

Exactly, most people want to buy a phone that won't cause much stress to get parts for and to get repaired
But I think it's just a matter of time, now that they've stepped up their game we'll see how their company fares

Lexusgs430:
Enter developer mode with caution.........

I'm telling you
Ordinary users are not meant to mess around with developer options

Lexusgs430:
For a low user, the Umidigi Power 3 would last up to 5 days......

The battery just refuses to die........

But in direct comparison of Umidigi's 6150 vs 5150 mah....... They perform about equally......

The better processors on the 5150 devices, compensates well.........

Even for me a heavy user sef I'll be comfortable i won't have to charge at 50% because of the fear of NEPA

And the power 3's processor is great Helio p60 or something

Even if it's at the same level with another umidigi device with 5000 mah
We can at least be sure its lasts much longer than a certain brand that has been scamming Nigerians for a while now

Lemme off mic so their boys won't come for my head

lexykeyz:
For your sisters charging try notice which of the type c sides works better. I noticed that even with my Lenovo laptop which uses type C charger. A particular side charges faster.

Wow
I'm just hearing this actually

mattmogan88:
Bros make sure that your sister no Dy press the phone while its charging, mine charges very fast, it adds 1% every minute, that is I get a full charge in 100 minutes. Tested and confirmed...

NOTE: DON'T PRESS THE PHONE WHILE ITS CHARGING, IF YOU WANT TO TRY WHAT I SAID

Okay bro
Thanks
Will tell her

trojan84:
I disagree, I have been using the feature on a Samsung phone for a while now and it's awesome. I don't know how u mean when u used the word "beat" cos all I see is just floating apps

No my brother I was only referring to the floating apps feature and I just realized that 8 was wrong sef
Forgive my ignorance

OlympiadTutor:
My small s7 edge can float any App. All you just need to do is touch the edge panel.

Okay then I didn't know it was capable of that, because that's what I saw in the miui12 that made me think it's actually better than the Samsung's floating app

Lexusgs430:
That's why I said you are polite and i also stated I love your aura....

I clearly said, visit us more often......... What would this life be, without sarcasm...........

I am a lover not a fighter, I am war......... I am indaboski bahose...........

Lmaoo
Okay sir
Sarcasm is slightly too high for my level of sense of humour, apologies

Lexusgs430:
I would not call you a polite troll, but you are ever so polite...........

We love Xiaomi fanboys like you, visiting us regularly..........

If you've been paying attention you'd notice I recommended a power 3 to the fellow asking for an umidigi device with a decent camera and rebuked a guy that was comparing redmi 9a against the A7pro because truth be told the 9a is an overpriced budget device
I'm also the person that was discussing some umidigi and Xiaomi phones with some members of this thread last week or so, the one you called a "confused troll"

Obviously I'm no troll I just love honest reviews, one maybe misleaded thinking the a7pro actually beats the redmi note 8 camera which just isn't true.

Your haste to pronounce people who comment trying to correct a flaw about you people always pitting umidigi against Xiaomi as trolls is....troubling....to say the least.

Kennydollz:
Just the follow come charger, at first i was wondering if it was a fault cos it's somehow fast for a 10w charger, I'll keep observing for changes

Wow

Overall the a7pro is one hell of a device for the price it retails for

Kennydollz:
Well like you said, maybe there was something wrong with his camera, nd true i forgot to add macro shots were better on the note 8...But you'd agree the a7 pro did a good job at least from ur own experience?

What are we saying naa
The camera is great and what I really loved about it is how optimised it was for low light conditions

I even compared it against a Nokia 6.1+ and pictures were brighter on it than both the note 8 and the Nokia in low light conditions
The only thing about the phone that's not good enough for me as a heavy gamer is the processor

I was really interested in the power 3 back then buh I wasn't sure AliExpress would deliver it so I also ended up spending 74k on my note 8

I enjoy my device though









.I still wonder how comfortable I'd feel if I had the power 3's battery I won't even be scared of NEPA anymore

Kennydollz:
Okay so I'm back with my review of the a7 pro...
I'll try to be straight to the point...

1. Design: This device looks very nice and premium... The ocean blue makes you feel like you bought three colours for d price of one �, and the glass back and somewhat metal sides feels really great.

2. Camera: This is one aspect i don't understand the fuss about in some users negative reviews... This camera is really good. As a reminder from Redpanter1, i actually did a camera comparison with a friends redmi note 8 and the guy had to start cleaning his camera lenses. That's how good it is. The only thing it struggles with is in portrait photos in the back camera, u have to be really steady, i installed gcam-go and the front camera portrait totally blows mind. Sure, it's no google pixel, or IPhone X or S10, but it's definitely impressive.

3. Battery: Maybe not as good as you'd expect, but considering that nice full hd display, i can't complain. It should give about 7 hours screen time for normal usage. Modified: I'm currently at 3hours, 50mins SOT with 52% battery left. So you do the maths.

4. Display: Absolutely Beautiful!! I can't say any more.

5. Charging: Takes under 2hours to get a full charge, around 1hr 45mins. That's fast enough for a budget device.

In summary this device is the best you could get for its price and it's definitely punching way above it's weight(its actually a tiny bit heavy), my first Umi device and I'm totally impressed. It was nice murdering my redmi guys(i think the note 8 is around 71k now) with my 41k device in camera and display comparisons (xiaomi fanboys abeg mk una nor come for me). Any questions prospective buyers wish to ask, i gat you. Let the umipeppering begin!!!

Lmaoo
I don't know what's up with your friends camera but I compared my camera against umidigi a7pro once and it wasn't as good as the note 8 camera (especially the macro camera) although I admit the light correction of the camera is admirable (it performs very well in low light conditions) not unless you use your proshot or procam it can't beat a 48mp camera.

Power 3 and F2 are more of a competition with power 3 producing more detailed shots than note 8


You're using a fast charger bah?...
Or your phone was around 45% when you charged I've seen a lot of people saying it charges fully under 2 hrs but I don't understand because my sis wey dey charge from 17% or 5% uses a bit more than 2hrs oooo

No "umisoldier" should come for me oooo I use a Redmi note 8 but I'm not sentimental I happen to have held both the note 8 and umidigi a7 pro in my hands before so I know what I'm saying


Peace....

khalidx:
A7 Pro is selling like hot Akara oo, couple with the Jumia discount.

New order placed...

As in that discount is just perfect
It seems it's getting even lower

THUNDAR:
I use LG G5
An LG Smartphone from 2016

The interface of the floating windows sort of reminds me of this multitasking app I once used, I found it on play store

temmienewells:
Chestbeater, you're doing confusion upandan and you're claiming to have the best of OSs. Even the trillionare company didn't make this type of poo cause it's totally unnecessary and unneeded!

Which company are you talking about please
If it's Samsung then you're wrong because Samsung devices can float WhatsApp
That's the one I've seen

And I know Xiaomi miui 12 can float most system apps
Even MIUI 11 can do it but miui 12 floating window feature beats that of Samsung's oneUI

Smallbaby:
i find this distasteful to be honest

You'd think differently if you saw it in person, the op didn't organise the stuff well that's why it looks a bit messy

Imagine playing game and just bringing up WhatsApp as a floating window like that with all the functionality of the app left intact you'd be able to keep the game or movie playing in background while you chat with people, upload status etc without ever switching from that app to WhatsApp

DaInferno:
bros... which phone b this? this is really cool

Xiaomi running on miui12
Samsungs can also do it with WhatsApp sha

moscojoor:
Am waiting for the day hios or xos will be able to achieve this

I've seen a camon 15 do something very close to it but only supports WhatsApp
And it's not optimised at all yet the window is way too big and doesn't even seem movable

Whizdorm001:
Which phone is this please?

A Xiaomi running on miui12

I'm not a tecno fan but....why would you want to leave 9 apps running at once in the first place?

Piloeternity:
People like you go dey follow person argue blindly. Well, I guess you just used your redmi note 8pro ad forgot to at least try or lay your hand on the oppo device as well.
Anyways I have used both devices and here is what I think, OPPO devices are built with classic photography in mind as well as meeting the fellow Nigerians request for a longer battery. Using both the note 8pro(4000mAh) and the A9 2020(5000mAh). I will pick A9 2020 OVER.
SEE PIC FOR URSELF BELOW I HAVE BOTH DEVICES

But what you're holding in this picture is the redmi note 8 not note 8 pro oooo are you sure you're not mistaken?

Cutiee

Mekenz:
the phone fall from a scaffold and hit on a concrete surface and had a crack screen, I need to replace the screen, I don't need any other phone for now.

Bro try to order a screen from AliExpress if you have the patience to wait for it
If you're not used to online shopping try to ask your friends or colleagues anyone you can trust to order it for you

Sorry ehn
