Hi Joseph
I like reading your reviews, they are quite unique. Keep it up bro. After checking prices on Jumia, I realised that the infinix Hot 6 is really overpriced. The 1GB version costs more that 32k. Can’t recommend it. What do you think about the oukitel c11 pro that costs about 28k with 3gb ram?
