If you do shop online on Jumia u should know that not all the products made in USA/China/S Korean comes from their but from Nigeria stores and are still original.

Its business, there are stores in China with Original Samsung, Iphones too.
They even highlight which is Snapdragon (for Samsung) and US version (for Iphones).

Just make sure u are buying a product who's condition is NEW (and not used/refurbished) that's if you are going for a new one

You don't know Samsung and Apple both manufacture phones in China, do you?

I do see some phones on aliexpress and they write "refurbished" what does it mean?

Like what are the advantages and disadvantages?

I don't know about it, that's why i ask so as not to do mistake, it's painful to spend a big amount of money for a fake product

You know why i mentioned you?
Because you claimed to shop on aliexpress, i wouldn't ask a random person this question,
I know the meaning of refurbished,
I only wanted a review from someone who claimed to shop from there,
What you just said is an insult but I won't blame you much because i warranted it by giving you the opportunity to do so.

Refurbished products simply means an old product restored/replenish to a new.

Used means products that were used by other users (probably for some months/years)

If u want to shop with peace, buy what is new.
But some used products still works great, I prefer them than refurbished ones...

NEW is always great

Thank you for this, maybe I'll go for used products,
I need a good phone and my budget can't afford a new GOOD phone apart from Transsion shits.

Instead of shipping from aliexpress, why don't you buy from a reputable store in your area?

Ur welcome!

And samsung will do just fine..

OP, If you're buying certified refurbished from a reputable store, you have nothing to worry about. Those telling you used is better than refurbished as saying so based on their knowledge of "refurbished" coming from Nigeria.

Refurbished phones are phones with defects which have been repaired and certified fit for sale by the company that owns them, or a trusted partner.

Jumia has certified refurbished phones from Apple which you can buy. You can also buy from. Amazon and AliExpress. No let people with cavemen knowledge teach you rubbish. Go online and do your findings.

Deicide:
You no get sense

He is ignorant about the issue, and he is trying to gain knowledge about the issue, but you are here saying nonsense.

You're the main person without sense.

There is a lot of stupid people on Nairaland and on the social media in general, so you have to get use to it.

I've gotten some refurbished phones from AliExpress, they all look new and all good till today.

Check reviews and comments before purchasing from the store. You have nothing to worry about.

Transsion products are shits, right? You don't even have respect for the decision of those of us who opted for it at all.
My tecno Pova 5G is now three months and no issue. I hope your used shit works out well for you, that's even if it gets delivered to you in the first place. Lol

Three months and no issue is not the point,
TThe point is the processor, and performance under heavy and tasking usage.

Tramssion are shits because when compared side by side with other products like xiaomi, Transsion use lower chipsets for higher prices.

Xiaomi poco m4 pro is 106,000 with mediatek g96 processor, Infinix note 12 g96 is 156,000 with the same mediatek g96 processor.

So you see?

Hardware-wise, Transsion also lags behind in various aspects which i don't have time to go into.

I wan load 33kv transformer on it? All these heavy usage bla bla bla is really annoying. If I need heavy usage, I know the right gadget to get, that's PC.
Mediatek is not the problem, cheap chipset is the problem be it mediatek or snapdragon. Check up tecno pova 5G chipset and get back to me.
