PHONE DESIGN AND WARRANTY AND NIGERIA'S PERENNIAL PROBLEM OF POOR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

How I feel following the upgrade on my Phone's charger and a 24 months warranty. I want to dance!

What’s more frustrating for a Local Guide than arriving at a Location only to discover that he doesn’t have any Camera to take pictures to post to Google Maps or to Connect?

i remember visiting Suntan Beach in March, 2020 and returning home disappointed as the journey turned out to be longer than I had envisaged and the Camera on my previous phone could not take sharp pictures under the conditions I met when I arrived there.

THE UPGRADE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO GIVE A 5-STAR :sparkles:

Have you ever gotten a new device/gadget (phone, Computer, camera, even an automobile) that was an upgrade from your last one and there was just something, that one thing, that made you immediately get up and feel like reviewing that business and giving them a 5-star? :thinking:

I know in your mind you are preparing to burst into laughter, but I promise this isn’t funny!

NIGERIA’S ELECTRICAL POWER CHALLENGES

One of the challenges we encounter in Nigeria is epileptic Power supply.

I mean; it is so bad that; in a house of four people, each person will have his or her own generating set!

Because of the issue of this epileptic power supply, most of the ‘Chargers’ that come with our phones don’t last! It’s like these Chargers are not durable or something like that but the manufacturers did not figure Nigeria’s electrical power problem into account while making their devices.

I mean these Phones were made in places where 230-240V was 230-240V and 110V was 110V, what’s with Nigeria?

I mean; you could set up a business selling only ‘replacement parts of phones and accessories’ and you will never go hungry in Nigeria, in fact, you will build mansions and take long trips around the world!

It’s a Perennial Problem!

THE SOLUTION - PHONE DESIGN AND WARRANTY

However, there is one particular company that does a great job of making chargers that suit the Nigerian epileptic power condition. But you know why your charger will not last if you buy a Phone from this Company? The people that will come to ‘borrow’ your charger! :sleepy: :sweat:

I guess this beautiful company heard their customers’ cries in Nigeria and finally decided to eliminate the ‘USB option’ :smiley: What a relief?! :dancer:

I was making a post on Connect this afternoon when my Aunt came around to use my charger, as I pleaded with her; “it won’t fit”, she paid no heed until she realized. :see_no_evil: The satisfaction :yum:

MESSAGE TO MY PHONE MANUFACTURER

Please tell Sam that he has done a great job this time! The song I sung with delight in my heart he will hear! :dancer:

ON A FINAL NOTE

The President that fixesNigeria’s problem of epileptic power supply will be immortalized, but he will need to ‘battle a lot of powers’ because some people have built a source of livelihood around ‘Phone accessories, replacement parts and Power-Generating Plants’. :cry:

Has an upgrade on a ‘new gadget’ ever made you feel this happy?

How I feel following the upgrade on my Phone's charger and a 24 months warranty. I want to dance!

Now, I can practise all that @PaulPavlinovich teaches me in peace! I will be looking out for that; “made for Africa” on my next Camera too. I am sure at the end of three classes more, I will be able to finally make up my mind on the one I will like to buy. Yipeee! :dancer:

Every time I see you have commented on my post Rosy Ma, I rush to read your comment because of your insights! You always understand exactly what I am talking about.

People fit solar panels here too, but they are so expensive, the phone repair shops?!

Their charges are ridiculous, I remember taking my old phone for repair and I was told I will pay 45000 naira which is about $115! For screen that I could get for as low as $15 if I decide to buy directly from China!

Warranty is important even though it doesn’t cover customer’s mishandling @RosyKohli

Before I moved out of the mountains where I’ve lived for 20 years I knew this problem pretty well, trees and power lines don’t mix all that well. What you need to protect your devices are a Uninterruptible Power Supply and or a Power Conditioner.

These devices take in the dirty input power and clean it giving you a steady voltage and reliable current to protect your devices.
