Your last statement says it all.....

NB : The Note 8 is a very impressive device and would simply keep giving.......

That note 8 na fool ooo, as a note fan it's just the size from the conventional note 4 that's the issue since I'm not mobile for now. I love the note series.

Same pic with the OnePlus 5T this time. Notice the better pic quality.

On all devices, we the consumers find our comfort zones.... One person's comfort zone, might be a sore spot for another......

My guy, sidon look na. You nor know say China don dey gather market for their side. Here in US, people are beginning to patronize them. Nice phone with better specs than your iPhones and Samsungs, but at very affordable prices.


Oga have used an elephone device in the past but am very sure umidigi> Elephone. Don't let the build and design of that particular model decieve you. Have you done reasearch to know why the sales of U pro is performing badly? Elephone don't care about support. Na your money sha, don't let me piss on your parade.

I think the perception of Umi got damaged with Umi. But now with Umidigi, things seems to have improved......

I have a couple Brand New Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 4GB RAM/64GB at the cheapest prices.

I recently switched from the OnePlus 5T to the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus after seeing good reviews about it and here are my thoughts:

1. I will never ever spend my money on any Samsung or Apple phone in my life. China phones have really stepped up their game.

2. It has a longer battery life (4000mAh) than the OnePlus 5T (3300mAh).

3. Its processor speed isn't as fast As the OnePlus 5T but it sure keeps up speed.

4. It's camera and video quality is just ok, but the OnePlus 5T has an excellent video and camera quality when compared.

5. Gaming experience is equally as good as the OnePlus 5T.

6. It costs almost $400 less than the OnePlus 5T but seems like a perfect budget friendly flagship phone or backup phone.

I bought the OnePlus 5T for about $559 while the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus cost me only $160.

7. It doesn't have fast charge like the OnePlus 5T but you can reach 100% from about 5% in about 2hrs 10 mins. The OnePlus 5T does that in about 1 hour.

8. If you like large phones, the Redmi 5 plus is slightly larger than the OnePlus 5T but the 5T has a larger screen to body ratio than the Redmi.

Attached is the pictures showing the battery life as well as screen on time for two different days. Note the percentage of battery left in the screenshots.

The OnePlus 5T can only boast of an average of 5hr 30mins of on screen time but the 4000mAh battery of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus wins in this area. It can average a 9hrs onscreen time easily.

My opinion: stop chasing the hype of iPhones or Samsung phones, both of which I can afford. I chose to stop wasting my money on brand names when I can easily get better phones with better specs for hundreds of dollars cheaper. It is called being penny wise. My opinion.


Bro where did you buy yours and how much? I need the phone.

Obviously better. but I have an issue with the redmi not having the much needed fast charging feat. Aside being in the office with guaranteed power supply and at home by night I barely get good power supply elsewhere so that means if I have a 2% on Saturday morning outdoors on my redmi it's kaboom till night fall. I'll rather stick with the one plus, my opinion though.

So you want to buy the phone with a weaker battery because it charges 1 hour faster.
