Deeprooted:Are you sure there's no mix up somewhere before you punish an innocent person unjustly? I've never heard of storage being falsified in a phone. Maybe confirm with other tools.

Elxandre: The issue is Redmi 13C is one of the best selling phones out there. It has led to many clone devices. I have encountered various,IMEI on the carton would be different from what the phone is carrying, And it usually for 8/256gb models, IMEI would even show 8/256 but another colour would be indicated,by the time you check IMEI on the phone,it would be showing you a totally different model,you would see 4/128 or 6/128 Now is that justified for the op to bash Redmi as a whole? And conclude Redmi is scamming customers, Why didn't he buy from accredited or verified store? 5 Likes |

noobody: You're right on this again. This is what I found out. It brought out a different color . I just needed a small budget android phone. Not my main phone. It turned out disappointing 2 Likes 1 Share |

Deeprooted: Not only are you a dullard + slowpoke, You are also a bitter tribalistic Buffon It's only a foolish phone seller you can lock up, Worst he would give you a new phone or refund you, All these your empty threats of locking someone up, Na for you and your pocket, You think all that phase me, And if truly you did, Only goes to show the Nigeria police are corrupt,well I am not surprised,only takes a corrupt editor to corrupt another, Is that how you ediots abuse power by direct police to lock people up? Confirm all this is a yes so we can take this case up. Like I said you are a fool!! 8 Likes |
