It was a tough decision for me. My previous phone was giving me major worries. At the time of purchase a couple of years ago, it seemed like a perfect device, but as time began to pass, so did its ability began to deteriorate, or some it seems. July last month made it two years I got it and it sure has served well and I knew I had to change it. Only recently did the battery refused to increase anytime I charged that I knew it needed a replacement, and so into the market I went.
It was a tough decision for me because I had being saving up some cash to get myself a new and much desired Nikon 50mm prime lens. I had to ask my friend @osarueseosato for advice and he told me that, "if I get a lens, I would still need a phone urgently, but if I get a phone, I could use my existing lens for a while". I had in mind to get an Infinix Note 8i as it seemed to have all the feature I needed an a good price range too, around $160. The Infinix wasn't available, so I settled for a Camon 17.
It is a decent device. Whenever I go for techs, I always look out for performance as I know myself to be a heavy user. From gaming, to running multiple apps, and of course hive-ing. I wanted a 6gb ram, but with the Helio G85 processor and the large memory size, I didn't think I would have any problem.
Contained in the pack was the phone, (of course), a super fast charger, pretty neat handsfree and a transparent case to protect the back from scratch. It also comes with a thirteen month warranty, well I have never really need warranty for any of my devices or tech. It's either I inflict the damage myself or it gets lost or stolen, lol.
4gb Ram, 128gb storage which is pretty impressive, a 5000kMah battery which should keep me active for a day, and very importantly, Android 11 operating system.
So the device goes for approximately $188. So far, it hasn't given me any worries. Smooth interface, pretty fast too and large space for all my data. I didn't actually pay all thag at once, haha. I couldn't afford to anyways. In the store, they had these feature called "easy-buy" where you pay a certain percentage down payment, then you can pay installmentally for the rest of the balance, also allowing to spread the payment across a maximum of six months. Pretty cool ehh? Thank you for reading, you could consider Tecno Camon 17 too, also thank you for your warm congratulations, haha, much appreciated. Grazie.
