He is very legit, he doesn't have a shop because he doesn't sell phones(brick and mortar). You pay him and he will use your money to order for you. You can as well search his monikers and see testimonies.

Thanks, I've seen the testimonies but was still skeptical because I lost money sometime ago judging from people's comments on a thread.

Aliexpress is not like Jumia where u can buy goods on COD... The dude is trusted, go to the Xiaomi thread and confirm for yourself.

Thanks, I've seen the testimonies.

Thanks...

You know what the world is like these days.
I was just being careful...

Yes I get u. You do need to be cautious. I checked his profile, saw all the deals he has done and lots of people giving positive feedback, and he is the biggest seller of xiaomi phones on this forum. So I was like he's not gonna ruin his reputation because of 75k. But if u don't feel comfortable please don't do it.

Impressive, very impressive, but those comparing it with flagship phones are CRAZY. No way near flagship. MIUI 9.5 still has some bugs. For example today the phone refused to ring out even though it wasn't in silent mode. Ring volume was set to maximum, still didn't ring out when someone calls, notification sounds was working fine. . Not until I restarted it before it came back to normal. And why in the hell will xiaomi unify ring volume and notification volume? I like my notification sounds low and ring volume higher but that is impossible on this phone. Same toggle controls both notification and ringer, so if ur ringer is loud, ur notifications will also be loud and vice versa.


For the price you paid, it's a massive massive bargain. I don't think any phone with this specs can be priced similarly as the note 5. It will take some time to get used to miui but am sure you will get the hang of it. Enjoy your device.

Agreed, for the price it's a bargain. But no point comparing it with the flagships becsuse it is no way near. The specs, performance, display and price are not flagship standard. Meanwhile have u seen the new mi 8? Now that is a flagship killer and in my opinion even better than OnePlus 6.

Yeah the mi 8 packs a lot of punch tbh but I like the size of the mi 8 SE and that is my sweet spot. Those who are comparing the note 5 with flagships are prolly those who haven't used a flagship device. It is impressive,no where near a flagship. The mi 6x with sd660 is also good too.

Omo na that mi 8 explorer be the Koko oh, with transparent back, or the standard version. The SE I'm not too feeling but na pricing go judge sha. Meanwhile the phone looks like exact one of iPhone X. From the notch to the design to the back camera. And then haven't we heard the nomenclature SE before? And then animojy?

With Umidigi devices, you enjoy the aspect of spending low and getting a quality device.....

Umidigi Z2 Pro or Umidigi A1 Pro, are sure best..... With umidigi devices, you also get FRP protection.......

I ordered the S2 pro last week from jumia. Please do you know if it is rootable?

Loads of apps alreasy exists for basic customization. Well, not unless you fancy clocking and flashing ROMS (but rom support is very limited for Umidigi devices).....

The device works well as is. I would not want to oversteer a decent pot of Egusi soup..........

I may not have a professional knowledge when it comes to analyzing cell phones. But I believe this whole thread is just full of lies. Some are comparing Samsung and Apple to these Chinese brands, saying their phones are actually better.

Are you trying to tell me that if I bring out a s9 on one hand and the most high-end phone of any of these Chinese brands on the other, they are really objectively no differences with the latter even better? Just look at the link below, listing the specs of the redmi 5 plus and the 2015 s6 edge. Didn't s6 edge beat the redmi 5 plus in all aspects except that of battery life? (Don't know about camera capability tho).

http://phonesdata.com/en/compare/5059/3104/

Why not do the comparison between the high end devices of the two brands (Samsung & Xiaomi) before calling those that have tried same liars?

Just like a friend that wanted to spend 70k plus to purchase Infinix Note 4 pro when he can get meizu m6 note for 50k

I know some people are just too addicted to Tecno , Infinix, item. I have BN there before, but u will never know what u are missing till u get other better value for money brands.

Currently using Redmi 5 plus (my second Xiaomi phone), and I know the difference between Tecno and this phone

Can you give a review of the Redmi 5 plus with pictures, please?

Thanks.

Sorry I have no wife material. Prior to the OnePlus 5T, I used a Samsung for 4 years. Don't think I can go back to Samsung because it's always the same ol' phone but with different colors and shapes. Samsung and apple have no new innovations. Newer manufacturers in the Chinese phone market still have a lot of better innovations at affordable prices. My opinion.

Don't even go there. Criticize them for being too expensive and I would agree but don't u dare talk about their lack of innovation

Almost every new feature in high end phones today was started by either Samsung or Apple. The rest just copy and copy

That's why despite being expensive they still command the most market share worldwide

Chinko phone advertisers spotted.!!!

So I will wait for three weeks if I want to replace ordinary charging port from China? You know we are rough in this country, screen can break and befor u get it to ur doorstep, it will take u like one month

How on earth someone compare Samsung to all these Chinko phones. I have been using Samsung with quality camera, battery and most especially when you see 3gb ram that's what u are buying, but all these Chinko phones when you see 6gb ram u might ended up on buying 1gb �. A 2gb ram phone is not supposed be lagging. This is why they fool you and be coming up with 16 gbam
