DeHumbleTboy:
but is the battery manage able at all??

The battery isn't bad
I guess my battery only wore out
Although on a 3000 mAH ba3 you can get 8hrs of SOT (continuous usage)
That is for LG tho..

Testing1234:
The g6 has a lot of advantage over the a3 pro at almost same price range,
Like better camera(manual video mode and you can install Google camera v6.2 on it) ,display , processor (sd821 at 14nm with over 160k on antutu that can even play fortnite) compared to the inferior 28nm mt6739 on the a3 pro , water/dust proofing, pie update, very good HiFi audio recording, quad dac audio amp(Korean version) , better sounding speakers(better than that on the Samsung s8), and lot more. The battery on both phones are on par,
14nm processor on a Qhd LCD screen vs 28nm on a HD LCD screen.
With the new pie update, the lg G6 can give u an average of 5hours sot in 24hours usage,which you can install sm resolution changer and use adb to tune it down to 720p for better battery life.
I will advise you order the 4/64gb lg G6 for 33k through either NOOBODY or PROTEIN0 , for smooth and stress-free delivery.

seconded

if you check the lg g6 you posted there, you will see its aliexpress standard shipping is free shipping, and if you check reviews there and also from nigerians, you will see that the phone was delivered to them in two week without custom ish(but this varies with time of the year tho), that's why I suggested earlier that you should place order through Noobody or protein0 so as to escape custom charges.

at the embolded are you preying on the OP's ignorance? Becareful o, consumer electronics goods that are no more than 4kg are duty free, however you might have to pay a collection fee at your local post office, which should be no more than 1 thousand naira, with receipt. Op take note

Testing1234:
yea, collection fee ranges 200-1000naira at nipost(what receipt is that?), its different from custom fee(which can be like 9k and above)

I've been buying stuffs, gadgets especially from Aliexpress, even via Mr.Noobody for some years now.. I have never had to pay any duty fee to customs, infact the fee i pay at my local Post office was just recently introduced, i am aware of FG's desire to drive Revenue via tax..

Yes the receipt you are issued is from nipost not customs.. It looks like the pic below

That you have never been charged custom fees doesn't mean it's non-existent, it only means you've been lucky, especially if you've been buying electronics. Custom fees is legal and if it's charged on your item, then you must pay.

where did i ever say it was illegal

DeHumbleTboy:
No one has ever posted on this platform and go back with his or her curiosity unsolved. Planing of buying new phone. Don't have enough cash so I have to settle for the little I can afford. However I'm tired of the popular devices, Tecno, itel, infinix gionne and the rest. They're really worthless and not worth patronizing anymore in this time money Is hard to get. Plz which should go for between umidigi a5 pro and LG G6 plz give reason too if there's any. What should I consider between the two phone. I'm a bit heavy phone user and i need good camera, ram, rom big screen and I consider battery too.

Meanwhile I haven't shop on AliExpress before. What are the things to consider before shopping on AliExpress? Do they have any hidden fees especially when itsi been ship from abroad. Plz NL's help I'm just scard of shopping online.

Just be careful, there a a lot of vendors that sell fake stuffs on Aliexpress. I have had an experience before.

But what you're saying below is an insinuation that custom fees on any consumer item below 4kg is illegal na.

not necessarily 4kg,there are goods that are duty free. In this case a smartphone, or small electronic gadgets.

Testing1234:
there are two type of refurbished phones, generic refurbished and OEM refurbished.
According to the reviews under the lg, you will notice the box is lg branded(instead of just a plain white box if its generic refurb) ,you will also see a lg branded charger, headphone(not high quality tho), manual and the g6. Which you wont get if its generic,someone even openedup his phone in the review section, and the battery in it was lg branded. Also, I don't think generic phones do received software updates, as people are confirming the pie update on their phone in the review section. I think the only thing that 3people(1 Nigerian) out of all reviews under this particular g6 complained about is that their display isn't sharp at all, 2people said when they contacted the seller, the seller refunded them($30 or so) to get a new screen(according to them on their additional review), and when I checked, the 3 people actually bought the 4/32gb variant, that's why I adviced the op to get the 4/64gb as people that bought it had no issue whatsoever.

OK thanks for the info... I hope the op understand more from this

23 view no response hmmm Na nairaland be this abi na new profile on Facebook?? Why nl no fit help person for God sake?? No be money I de beg see characters now if na money I comebeg on nl that na gobe na. Why guys de stingy for common advise too Pathetic

You sent a message by 11:46, and by 12:10, you're asking why guys are stingy for common advise. You're also using the word 'pathetic.'

What a child you are. Grow up!
People don't sleep on nairaland. Be patient!
And if you've managed to use the nairaland search option, you'd see that topics like these have been created countless times. You'll not take your time to read and research, but you have the stuguts to ask why guys are stingy for "common advise."


Ludicrous entitlement mentality.

DeHumbleTboy:
brief me on this if you don't mind.

That's the customs acessment notice for a Samsung A20 sent to Nigeria from the US.

Depressed101:

And I'm telling you that they are not duty free. It's usually between 10-20% of the item value plus VAT.

Hat is yur Budget?
Go for any xiaomi or oppo within your budget. Theyre Chinese, yes, but they're very good and if you buy from accredited sales point within Nigeria (which is cheaper than buying from aliexpress) you get to enjoy warranty.

I don't trust naija anymore. Brother mercy me na. If na your brother this guys de chop mugu from 1900 u go like am??

DeHumbleTboy so which one did you go for?
