everybody is not a marketer. Xiaomi makes great phones with unbelievable price tags. I bought galaxy A70 for 130k to complement my iPhone X last year and later switched to Xiaomi redmi note 8 Pro (for 83k) when I upgraded to iPhone 11 pro. I can assure you that redmi of 83k is way smoother than the Samsung I bought for 130k. I do buy phones a lot that doesn't make me or everyone who talks about phone brand a marketer

It is either people don't understand spec viz a viz the price or they are just dumb or they are hypocrite or all of the above.

I wanted redmi note 8 for my wife but it wasnt available so i opted for samsung A 30 since they are thesame price late last year. Now i regret why i opted for samsung A30 because the performance could not match even though the price are almost thesame.

All this tecno worriors are losing on everyside so they are using samsung to cover their shame particularly one edo something.

They always think we are beefing or discrediting tecno for no reason but the facts are their for all to see.

Redmi note 8 with snapdragon 665, fast charging, gorrila glas, better display, higher PPI and other goes for 80k
Realme 5 with better spec goes for 50k price
Realme x2 goes for 95k price
Realme 6 with far higher specs is within 95k price bracket.
There are OPPO phones with better spec that goes for the same price
Huawei has phone within that price range and the specs are far superior.

Why for heaven sake will tecno use far inferior chips, screen and inferior phone all togethe and slam such price?
Are nigerians this foolish and uneducated?

Instead of this worriors to give their boss negative so tecno can improve on their specs, they are here tagging everybody haters or marketers.

Edoairways and co kindly tell transsion to improve on their spec and price and see how we will all be happy.

Redmi 8 vs camon 15

Which should I buy ?

Bros are u joking or what?
Howncan u ask this kind of question?

Camon 15
Display 720 x 1600
Crapy mediatek P22
No fast charging
No type C usb
5000mah
Nothing special except copied design.

Redmi 8
Display 720 x 1600
Snapdragon 435
Fast charging 18watt
Type C usb
Infared sensor
Gorila glass 5
5000mah

I'm sure redmi 8 will be cheaper than tecno camon 15
Perfomance wise redmi 8 is far ahead of tecno camon 15, build quality redmi 8 is better, redmi 8 suppased tecno camon 15 with fast charging, infrared blister, gorilla glass 5 etc

However if want lasted samsung like design, camon 15 has that. But what good does latest benze design with engine of 1938 vw has to offer.

So the choice is yours with your common sense.

Ok

I hope am not dreaming? How can you parkage a phone with mtk p22, display 720 × 1600 without type C usb, no fast charging, no 90zh refresh rate and nothing innovative or serious for 65K and 95k?

I can't believe my eyes.

SENESCO:
So you warlords of Xiaomi are not tired of trying to destroy Transition co. U guys are really trying, but I hope y'all are paid for the job u are doing both day n night on Nairaland.

Anytime i want to get a new phone and I come to the phone section, I always see ur rantings. With how u people are trying to destroy both Tecno n infinix, one would expect Xiaomi to be selling more than them, but sadly Transition is still the best selling in Nigeria. You people always refer to anyone that tries to write anything good about Tecno n infinix as a marketer.

I hope Xiaomi is paying u for the job u are doing, if not y'all are just wasting your precious time. I also hope Transition will also improve the specs of their phones so that y'all will use your time for something better online. I may also get a Xiaomi phone anytime soon, to discover whether it's worth the praises u are giving it tho my plan is to get a Samsung phone.

Not everybody is a warlord or paid tout, a good product does not need to pay people to get testimony it is mostly bad product that pays people to decieve and defend their evil.

Personaly i use huawei and i v ordered for realme x2 pro, I'm not using xiaomi neither am i their fan, I'm a fan of anything good. Since OP is talking about Redmi and crapno, any reasonable person will always ask op to go for redmi note 7 because no tecno phone can stand toe to toe with Redmi note 7.
If any, kindly point it out here.

Concerning transsion, the truth does not cost anything, it only cost u your conscience. Transsion is a bad company who extort innocent people who really does not know much other than plastic cover of a phone otherwise no sane human bieng with working brain will buy a phone that uses lower range mediatek chip of 3 years old for a phone and slam 45k to 75k.

Transsion tried to launch infinix in Asia particularly india and pakistain but they failed woefully because they can not survive in a market that people knows difference btw mtk P22, P35, P60,P70,P80 etc and snapdragon 400,600,700 and 800 series and kirin, exynos, Atom etc. The only reasons transsion was so successful in Nigeria is because an average Nigerian dont like to read, they only listen to what ever people tells them, since transsion has so many paid worriors online and in all phone market hubs in Nigeria, it is easy to fool average Nigerian.

edoairways:

Not totally correct.

Kindly correct me and compare the camera of other midranger/lowranger like redmi/oppo/realme/umidigi/ulefone/elephone etc.

edoairways:

Op said camera quality was his main interest which non have been able to convince

Pls what is quality in that yellowish camera?
May be op did not known other midranger/low ranger phone manufacturers have moved beyond this yellowish/brownish camera.

Sometimes people talk as if they are in the cave, even if they are in the cave, they should have used the data they use to search for tecno products to search for infomation.

Chuksteric:
Camon X-15 4 years of using the same range of processors!!! Image quality is poor , no image stabilization whatsoever, still sticking with the micro USB.. only new innovative is the design!! Well-done Tecno

Like i use to say, they copy trending design and put in old engine.

It is like puting 1983 VW beetle engine inside a copied design of 2020 benze E class.
It is criminal in nature and pure wickednes.
Anybody buying will think he or she is buying latest stuff not knowning it was old stuff.

TheOdd1sOut:

may God crash that phone and finger you used to type this nonsense.
this curse won't work on you if you use a phone with that helio p22 processor

Lol!!!! Men, u dey vex for his hypocrisy.

sunshineV:
They should give us USB type c and snapdragon 730 for 45k if they really care

Lol! U are asking for too much my dear. Trassion will never use capable chips, never, they are stock with their 1930 below par chips that they will sell for 75k and claim it is affordable.

They will just copy the trending design and load it with old abandoned hardware and slam price on it for the fools to buy.

ikmuan:
U mean camon 12 not Pro camera is better than redmi note 7 camera? Cuz am very particular about d camera amongst other

I prefer the Camon

You should v seen that he/she is one of those tecno moles placed everywhere to decieve people who are not technological sarvy to buy useless tecno.

Mizik:
i doubt 720G has a better u ,its only more battery efficient...

The data shows that SD720G is more power chips than Mtk G90t even the way phone manufacturers chose it over Mtk G 90T and SD 730G says it all.

Mtk G90T is just optimised for Game, that is all.

Anyway long time, do u still do styff for jumia?
I v been looking for ur no.

Satan66:

Yes, I already itted it's better at battery efficiency but what about processing power?

Even at processing power 720G is still slightly more powerful than mediatek G90t even though it has better gpu but 730G is the worst performer because it performance goes down under intessive usage.

Ok

Useless Nafdac, they were waiting for america to confirm before they will kick into action.

Something that has been confirmed since 2002 and the Chinese are using since december the stupid nafdac is waiting for America that is trying to approve a new drug so they can make money from it.

Nellsworld:

Nope, not stolen, go check offerup forum under technology market

Yes u are right, i v seen something close, 160k sold already.

However like i v said b4, i don't like to buy used product to avoid buying stolen goods. I'm not the kind of guy who forces himself to use something i cant afford, i will rather buy xiaomi note 8 pro at 90k than buy used iphone or used galaxy for same amount.

greenhulk:


According to their Twitter acct I think they still deliver mostly essential goods. If the phone u are buying is jumia express it will most likely be delivered. Pls check with their customer service first though. If u can't get them on the phone reach them on Twitter.

If they know they wont del8ver, why accept my order?

Nellsworld:

You can get Samsung S10 or S10e for that amount

I dont like that S10e but i truly doubt i can get new galaxy S10 for that amount except u are talking about UK used which could be stolen phone.

aezenkwu:



I use X2, when I talk about this phone it's called a beast. I use the same variant of yours. But all these memories self when it comes just use 128 gb memory card and put it use ur phone dey go. You Will surely enjoy the brand.

I don't think it has memory card slot, i will try and get another phone with bigger memory soon.

Tiger2020:

You are aware that it doesn't have sim card slot

Yes I'm aware, before i exhaust yhe 64gb, God go don provide money to buy better phone with bigger memory.

ityP:



Seriously that x2 pro na phone

Very good phone for that price, it beat up every single phones in it category except galaxy S10 lite but S10 lite is not available in this region.

aezenkwu:


Save more, the phone u are about to buy is a beast. I use x2

I v finally ordered for realme x2 pro on jumia, the onlý option available on jumia is the 6/64gb version total cost plush shipping is 142k, i saw it cheaper than that on aliexpress but i v never order anything on that platform so i kept to what i know.

Gwagone:
No and sorry about that
The lockdown includes everyone
They should have sent you a message or mail
Check carefully

But they are still accepting orders and promised shipment. I really need to get a phone by all means and most genuine phone stores in Abuja did not open.

sunshineV:


To A25?

Even A25 is a bottom chips that shouldn't cost more than 25/35k but trust trassion they will smash 60k price tag on that plastic called phone.
Tomorrow they will claim trassion is very affordable and price competitive, where is that affordability and competitiveness if not total ripped off.

If u sell 1999 toyota camry for me for 2million and you are claiming it is affordable because 2015 cost 6million, are u not a wicked human being?

aezenkwu:


Save more, the phone u are about to buy is a beast. I use x2

Do u know where i can buy this realme x2 pro? I only saw it on jumia global and it will take 15 to 30 days to arrive here while I'm in dare need for phone.

Who has note 8 pro for sale, pls im in urgent need of phone right now and my money no reach realme x2 pro.

All transsion holding knows how to do is to copy latest trending design and stuff in useless hardware then slam price only a fool will go for on it.

Why use chips that lowest snapdragon chips beats handsdown for this copied beautiful design, infinix dont even care enough to use older but more powerful mediatek chips like p60 or so.

Flytime:
actually the a25 is a new chipset just came out this year moreover infinix would be the first to use this chipset,let's see how the processor would hold up,apart from that the rest is shit.

It is still bottom of d pile chips.
It cant even match old p 60 chip.

Ok

Carnage4life:


I get what you mean but you can actually recommend an older flagship if the SOC is faster than the present day phone. Especially if you're a gamer on a budget and you want a powerful chipset.
The 3 year iPhone should be the X,8+ and 8 using the A11 chips. Those phones are still very fast.
Same way a 2017 or 2018 Andriod running snapdragon 835 / 845 from the "classy brands" will handle anything intensive for a while.
You can check youtube for speedtests and real life usage videos if you doubt me.

Yes u are right, but will i not be stupid to spend 180k on
new iphone 8 or samsung galaxy s 8 when i can actually get realme x 2 pro with snapdragon 855+, 60 watt charger and other latest technology or better still buy xiaomi 10 with with snapdragon 855+ 30 watt charger, possible wireless charging and all modern technology and latest software for equal or less than the amount of older classy brands.

Generally this ur suggestion works mostly with lower midrange phones and if u check the price, the lower midrange phones will be far cheaper that the possible faster chips may not be factor anymore.
Most older versions dont get anymore and if they do, it may be compromised to rather kill the phone instead of making it efficient in the case of iphone.

bennyefosa19:
In africa usually phones by Infinix and Tecno come with Mediatek processors so I'm expecting a gaming edition from any one of these phones with helio G70

Pls forget tecno and infinix, in as much as our people will continue to be stupid and tecno's A22 and P35 phones then tecno will not have any reasons to use better chips other than continue with their medeocrity chip.

okikiosibodu:

I paid attention to that statement when I came across a movie. The guy was even using a Porsche. he was like... a manufacturer will bring out a product and loud its attributes and good features. After a while, they release an update and then give you reasons to hop on to the new release and you start feel archaic. This they normally do by pointing out the faults in the "old school" model that they were silent about, earlier on. Indeed, you can never catch up wit technology. Just get a piece that you can endure "thick and thin" with

That is it, i buy good technology that serves me well and when it can no longer serves me the way i want, i move on to d next.
Personaly i buy the best at the moment knowing fully well that it may take me longer time to buy another one or sometimes what will serve me what future can offer. For instsnce i'm gamer so i buy phones with the best gpu and processor that can handle the most powerful games that may be released in a year or two ( not necessarily the most expensive) but the one that can get the job done.
That is why i normally discourage people from buying 2 or 3 years old samsung, iphone or so called classy brands because most of the time the technology has suppased them and they may not be able to handle the future.
I will rather buy quality but not fancy present, than quality fancy past.
I see people flash me 3 years old iphone that they just bought for 150k and i laugh within me because the phone is slower and most likely will not be capable of handling what is coming in december, where as u can get present day phone that could handle what is coming in december next year for same amount.

Damseywizzy:
we have seen time over time that megapixel is not what it takes to build a great camera on smartphone the two best camera on any smartphone which are google pixel 4/4xl and iPhone 11 series has only 12MP camera what makes a great camera are computation photography, good AI & machine learning so let's wait and see what tecno will do with their so called 64MP sony sensor camera

Why do people incorrectly says that iphone is the best camera phone in the world?
All the reviews says other wise, currently iphone 11 pro max is no 7 with 117 points behind OPPO find X2 pro, 2 xiaomi phones and 3 huawei phones in DXOmarks camera ranking.
Google pixel 4 is even very far behind, falling out of top 10 best camera phones.
