You S8 guys are really tempting me. But Note dey my mind like sh*t. Btw, it's your choice but I ll advice you get one even tho I've gone none on mine.

haha, I haven't changed phones in 3 years (old oneplus 1), It's really worth it wink.

Hopefully, the note8 will be out soon so you won't have to wait long

Ohh good. Mine is over 2 years tho and why did you switch to Samsung. Why didn't you buy Oneplus 3t or wait for the 5?

Edge
Amoled
Updates (still better than oneplus)
Water resistance
A bloody 5.8" screen in the same shell as the oneplus
3k screen
Sdcard space

Wireless charging

I understand you. You made the right choice. iphone 7 wouldn't have a good choice IMO simply cos it brings nothing to the table but iphone 8 could tho.

So what colour did you buy ? The midnight black appears to be a sleek colour.

It's a very solid phone besides the battery life. But I suggest he should buy S6 edge plus or either of the s7 brothers
cash at hand is what am looking at s7 edge was my initial target but money no reach thats why i want to go for s6 edge is the ba3 that poor

I never said it's poor, mine is over 2 years old so it's normal for the degradation to happen however, it depends on what you do on your phone but in order to enjoy your device more I suggest either of those three phones. You can check out Note 5 as well, I do understand you tho.

i understand you would consider one of the four then including the s6edge but note5 and s6edg eplus have very close specs tho

Yes but you might find Note 5 to be cheaper and it's got amazing battery life.

You cant consider the cam to be better simply cos it's dual and more ram doesn't change anything. Hope you enjoy your Xiaomi mi6


if you think ram doesn't change anything

then try out oneplus 3t smart phone

go to youtube,search for phone buff

then compare oneplus 3t with Samsung s8 speed test and tell me if ram no Dey work..

better front camera

Like i said it doesn't change anything. Oh ok, 3t is faster than S8 in what aspects and how many seconds faster is it? 1 or 2 seconds. Perhaps it's in nanoseconds.

How is the front camera better? Any reliable source to confirm them?

Enjoy your mi6 bud

for your info


oneplus3t is the fastest android phone in the world.

What is really happening to folks these days? 295k for a piece of garbage ain't worth it at all. As far as that phone with a pricetag of 295k or whatever, cannot cough out double or tripple dat amt of money, dat piece of shit is as good as useless. Mind you i can buy 3 of those without breaking a sweat.
Bottomline- e no worth am.
I don't need those bros. What I need is just a used phone. So please if you can, help me with one thanks

Good idea. But ensure its a solid one you buy because some do destroy batteries.

Mi power banks are durable. Just find seller around here or ship from aliexpress
