If I am buying a used phone, I'll go for older flagships

[@Brahamhobbies]

Those ones too are getting expensive

[@amon_ndemo]

@@Brahamhobbies look at s21

[@bakarekhalim3397]

Mee toooo😂

[@trustee1108]

I wonder how people spend money to get the latest mid range devices while with the same amount, you can get a sweet old flagship thats not really that old

[@Brahamhobbies]

@@trustee1108 ishhh keep on telling yourself that, everything is getting expensive, do you think Nigerians don't know the value of old flagships and will sell it cheap just like that 😂😂😂

I'm surprised nobody talks about this but I tried buying a used Infinix note 30 vip on FB market place but most of them are fake, but in the about it will still show Dimensity 8050 and other things correctly, how I found out is because they have no JBL branding and it's side mounted fingerprint with a large bezels, please Will it still work like the original?

[@danielosawaru9045]

Very informative video

In kenya there are these loan phones called m-kopa or d-light once someone sells you the phone its finito for you because you didn't know its a loan phone and there are no ways of differentiating between a normal and a loan phone

What about Amazon renewed? Waiting till s23 or s24 ultra to lower price

[@kamal92606]

open CIT to check the device , not for 🍏

[@user-iy7xi1tb8f]

I would never buy second hand it's not worth the risk,buy new at least then you are covered by warranty and guarantee plus ALWAYS keep till receipt.

[@bignoob2726]

But second hand stores test the phone when buying it and test it with u when selling it to you. They also have a warranty. Makes more sense than buying an overpriced bad phone

[@sportsworld9917]

I love your videos

[@oscarmini]

Thank you 🙏

[@dychann555]

To avoid scam, avoid transsion phones😅

[@IsaacPeters_]

Exactly 😂 Infinix, Tecno, and Itel for a used phone is a no no

[@joefrank2059]

I do buy used flagship device, aside from that i Don't buy any second hand phone

[@_joars]

Just got a Samsung S21 256gb Uk Used at Computer Village, and against my fears, the phone looks as good as new with no issues whatsoever, for just 250k. I guess this is probably luck, considering a colleague got the 128gb of the same phone for 300k and the phone overheats badly

[@bignoob2726]

Same, s21 is an awesome phone

In other words, never buy used phones.

[@Heisunbroken_]

My mum use to tell me this😂

[@Crabby.1]

New is alway always better tbh

[@dathanejele6312]

I think anybody would be foolish to argue with that, lol. New is always better, but new is also more more expensive... people looking to buy used phones do so to save cost and get a good phone for the price, not because they believe used phones are better than new ones😅

[@Crabby.1]

@dathanejele6312 you would be surprised the amount of people that ague used flagships are better than new high end midrangers and entry level flagships

[@bignoob2726]

​@CRAB.. they are, it takes years for mid range phones to catch up and the old flagship equivalent will always cost less than the almost comparable latest mid range. Current A ranges best offerings is around or worse than s20 performance with worse screens and none of the flagship features. Whilst costing way more than a second hand s20.

[@bignoob2726]

​@@Crabby.1what's even worse is those performance mid range have corners cut in places like cameras, ip ratings, build quality... Things u probably don't actually want to sacrifice
