Design and Display

On the outside, the smartphone is made of glass while on the inside there is a metallic frame holding it together. According to report from Huawei, the glass has 12 layers which gives you a nice reflective sheen when it catches light. There’s a notch at the front side and a significantly visible bezel at the bottom carrying the honor brand which defeats the purpose of the notch in the first place. At the back, there are two cameras standing side by side while the fingerprint reader is well placed towards the centre.

The screen is not bad at all for a mid-range smartphone featuring an appropriate size depending on your preference combined with crisp resolution. It comes with a 5.84-inch display alongside a fair brightness but a bit reflective in full sunlight. As for the resolution; it has 1080 X 2280 pixels that makes visuals clear and punchy.

Two cameras at the rear, a 13MP sensor and a 2MP depth sensor arranged horizontally at the edge accompanied by a flash. Over to the front, there is a 16MP camera for taking selfies with portrait mode and other nice features.

Hardware and Software

Cubot P20

On the budget scene, there is a lot of competition from those riding on the trend to those maintaining the arbitrary smartphone look. The Cubot P20 falls in the former category with a nice modern trendy design and modest specs. It is also nice that the smartphone only cost a fraction of the price of the flagshps that carries the features. In reality, the performance of this smartphone can in no way be compared to that of flagships.

Where to Buy Cubot P20

Cubot P20 Key Specs and Features

  • 6.18-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 2246 X 1080 pixels (403 ppi)

  • Dual 20MP + 2MP rear camera and a 13MP front camera
  • 4G LTE
  • Fingerprint scanner (rear)
  • 4, 000mAh non removable Li–Ion battery

Cubot P20

Design and Display

Based on how the smartphone looks, it’s hard not to call this an iPhone X clone wuth the notch and camera module at the back. However, that is about all the similarity there is, but it is enough. And besides, the Cubot P20 is much more inferior in the sense that the smartphone is made of plastic and has a glossy finish to give it a glass-like appearance. The disadvantage here is that it attracts dirt and shows any little scratch.

Over to the notched screen which by the way is a rampant ordeal in most smartphone now and have little bezels at the side. Right here, the display is 6.18-inch large and has a notch identical in size to that of the Apple flagship. Even though it lacks the deep blacks in OLED screens, colours are represented well with a resolution of 2246 X 1080 pixels.

Battery and Camera

There’s no need to worry about how much you’re pressing your smartphone at least not for a while with the ample 4, 000mAh battery.  Moreso, it has a MiicroUSB, although a USB Type-C would have been grear. For compensation, there is fast charge still available for use.

In the aspect of photography, the Cubot P20 offers just about what most smartphones in the budget scene would give you. At the back, you will find a 20MP and 2MP camera giving you nice pictures good enough for social media upload. Like in the Cubot Power, there is a 13MP camera up front for taking selfies.

Hardware and Software

The scene on the inside is pretty much the same as the other budget smartphones. MediaTek is the processor keeping things running, to be specific a MT6750T chipset.  Gaming should go well to an extent with the Mali-T860 MP2 GPU but you should expect some skipping frames while playing heavy games.

To ease the performance, the smartphone provides you with 4GB of RAM and storage space of 64GB with an added support for expansion up to 128GB. To make things run smoothly, you have an almost pure Android 8.0 Oreo on the smartphone.

Speaking of walls, the Samsung Q9F QLED TV has an “Ambient Mode” feature which mimics the wall pattern on which the TV is placed when you aren’t watching the TV, instead of an empty black screen. This can be achieved by either taking a photo of the wall or wallpaper or wall paint(work) around/behind the TV so that when you aren’t watching, only the super-slim bezel will be visible while blank display takes up your wall pattern or paint colour.

Expert Tips for Buying a Rolex Sky Dweller

Rolex has been a well-known global brand because of its enduring and timeless luxury designs of timepieces. Buying a Rolex Sky Dweller can make anyone confused about which one to choose. If you are also one of those people who has been inspired by the Rolex Sky Dweller collection, you should know some expert tips to buy one. Making such a big investment on a branded timepiece does need a second thought with some amazing tips.

Choose between the category of an Occasional Watch and a Casual Watch:

Firstly, you have to select the category of your watch. That means whether you have to buy a watch for a specific occasion or just a casual watch to wear in your routine life.

If you are looking for a watch for a specific occasion, then you should be looking in the collection of luxury Rolex watches. But for the casual watches, of course, you will be looking in the casual category of Rolex timepieces.

Maintain your Budget:

Before buying a Rolex Sky Dweller, you should be maintaining and fixing your budget for the watch. This would make you able to look in the collection that is affordable enough for you.

Moreover, it will also be a time-saving thing for you. If you will know the amount that you are able to give for your watch then surely you will not be looking at the watches which are out of your reach, and that is the part where you will be able to save a lot of your time. Thus, maintaining a budget for the timepiece can provide you with multiple benefits at a time.

Keep your Personal Style in view:

Rolex Sky Dweller is a royal watch that is unique in its own way. Not everyone is able to carry this watch with style. One has to have a great personality along with the good sense of watches for wearing a Rolex Sky Dweller watch.

So while buying it, you have to consider your own style. That means you should not be buying a Sky Dweller which is not of your type. That will surely end up making you look weird or uncomfortable with that watch.

Learn the ways to maintain your Watch before Buying it:

Like I stated before, Rolex Sky Dweller is a royal watch. It needs good maintenance after being bought. Most of these watches are made to operate by hand and are not automatic.

So, you should know all the ways through which you can keep your watch as new as possible for a long time. Maintaining the Rolex original watch is the only way to keep it fresh. If you will not be taking care of your watch then it will soon get an older look.

Make sure the watch you are going to buy is Original:

The Rolex is a brand that is well known in the whole world. That is why many copies and duplicates have also been in the market with the name of the Rolex Sky Dweller.

Thus, before buying the watch, confirm its authenticity. If you buy a copy then after a few times of wearing it, you will come to know that it is not an original but you will not be able to do anything to get your money back. Therefore, be completely sure that the watch, you are going to buy is the original Rolex Sky Dweller timepiece.

Conclusion

This few tips mentioned above are so crucial to keep in mind to ensure you buy a perfect Rolex Sky Dweller timepiece for you or for any loved ones.

Design-wise, or if you try to judge using the display (size or quality), you might not.be able to tell the difference between the Mi Notebook Pro 2 and its predecessor. That is because the body dimension and display are identical. Major differences exist in the internal setup which Xiaomi says will increase the Notebook’s performance by roughly 32% compared to the 2017 Notebook Pro.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 2

A 15.6-inch screen with 81 percent of screen-to-body ratio, full HD screen resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 72 percent of NTSC colour space is in charge of display. The screen is an IPS display which comes with wide viewing angles and brightness level (300 nits).

The Mi Notebook Pro 2 comes in two variants; an 8GB RAM variant with Nvidia GTX 1050Ti graphics and Intel Core i5 configuration. The second variant has 16GB RAM, a Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card, and Intel Core i7 processor.

CyberGhost VPN “The Best You Can Get

The Cyberghost VPN for Windows is designed carefully and specifically to improve upon user interface, usability and keeping an eye on the accessibility features.

Therefore, the application has been reduced to the system tray interface, as with just a click on the icon, all six profiles are released so that the user selects the best option feature and quickly activates what he prefers.

You are also able to access pre configured profiles or connect directly to any country that Cyberghost has a server in. You always have full control over the additional profile properties, as each connection is built with the last assigned parameters to the respective profile.

To access all application settings, you can simply click the “Maximize” button and view all the application and feature settings.

The Best Features

The user can also take a closer look at the settings window as it is intended for additional functions based on server settings.

The default settings for this profile are all enabled, except for “Data Compression” that you only need to use for a mobile network or when traveling to a different location with the different internet traffic settings.

But if you want to disable a feature that is for the advertising blocking you can easily do that as well. Since you want to support the sites you visit, you can do so simply by clicking on the switch at the right end of the function. Once blackened, it will not work for future connections until you reactivate it.

At the top of the screen, there is the “Boot Options” section. By clicking on it, you can then click on the arrow next to “Launch standard browser in incognito mode”.

You can also choose from a variety of different options, as you can configure Cyberghost to start on the default configuration and browser in normal or private mode once the VPN connection has been established. You also have the option to set up or just do not start a browser with the activation of your preferred Profile settings.

On the right side you will find the option of “Choose a country”, with this you can also choose “Anonymous Surf” which would then let your profile automatically connect you to a country other than your actual country and improve the anonymity of your internet activity. But if you want to connect to a particular country, then all you need to do is just define it there.

Getting the Most Out of Cyberghost VPN

Once all features have been selected or left out, you can start browsing safely by using Cyberghost VPN automatically by clicking on the yellow button at the bottom of the screen.

There is also a wall bracket for easy attachment to walls without having to worry about the shape or cables dangling around. The wall mount and stands are sold separately.

There is only one cable that connects to the Samsung Q8C curved TV. The single fiber optic cable connects to a set top junction box which houses several ports: four HDMI, 3 USB, AV to TV, and an ethernet connection port.

Samsung Q8C QLED TV

All models/sizes comes with support for 4K playback and HDR (HDR10 and broadcast HLG HDR) while also supporting normal HD and standard dynamic range. The TV lacks support for Dolby Vision because of its compatibility with HDR10+ which is more of a rival to Dolby Vision.

The Q8C ships with two remotes, supports WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, has a zapper (that connects using Bluetooth) for voice integration, and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compatibility. The Q8C is very easy to navigate and get used to as there are no confusing set of menus and services. There is support for 4K and HDR streaming on third-party apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Other supported services include BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4 and My5.

Grow Instagram Followers

Instagram is the fastest growing social media network, with solid figures to show for it. As at the beginning of 2018, the numbers were;

  • 450+ million users
  • 75 million active daily users
  • 90% users under the age of 35 years
  • 53% of US users are between the ages of 18-29 years

For any brand trying to reach out to the millennial demographic, Instagram is the platform to concentrate brand building efforts.

1. Viral content

Instagrammers love good content which is mostly HD pictures and videos. Any serious brand must have a professional photographer to come up with quality visual content. You must know the kind of content that works best. Celebrity types pull in tons of traffic with beautiful pictures of outfits, food, pets and landscapes.

If you are promoting a small business, content that would work well includes beautiful pictures of staff at work, actual customers using your products, and industry related quotes.  Investing a little money in coming up with quality content will prove worthy when your content goes viral.

2. Hashtags

Hashtags pull attention to your content in people following the hashtag. The recommended hashtags per post are ten. They are best placed after your content comments.

There are a number of apps that will show you the most relevant hashtags for your content, for example, website.

3. Influencers

This is perhaps the most surefire way of getting a massive growth in a short time. You talk to someone who already has a massive following to endorse your brand.

Big influencers like Kim Kardashian commanding millions of followers can make a brand globally visible with one or two recommendations.

But this does not exactly come cheap, with these kinds of influencers demanding thousands of dollars per endorsement (popularly known as shoutouts). Use an app like Buzzsumo to find influencers

4. Have a complete profile

A complete profile says you have taken time to build a brand rep for your business. The profile should have an attractive high-quality picture. Place your website on your bio link.

5. Promote your handle

Your website should have a link to your Instagram. Many web templates come ready with social media sites that include Instagram.

6. Engage other users

Engaging fellow Instagram users is a good way of earning trust, familiarity and finally a following. A good number of Instagrammers will like for like.

Follow the trending hashtags, like and comment content by the people following the hashtags. You get noticed.

7. Ask provocative questions

People always want to have a say in something that is people are talking about. You can provoke reactions by a simple comparison question.

Questions such as ‘Which is better?’, or ‘what would be your choice?’ will always provoke people into a response. Avoid questions that touch on religion and controversial issues.

8. Play around with editing tools

Instagram has a wide choice of picture editing tools. The simplest to use is Layout which allows you to play around with photo collages. Explore different filters and note the ones that see the greatest engagement.

8 Sorts of Backlink Sources to Avoid

Sorts of Back link Sources to Evade

Backlinks are a crucial piece of any Website optimization technique since they serve as conduits for web crawlers. The greater the quality or backlinks pointing back to your site, the more “expert” your site is regarded by search engines like Google, and the more probable it is that you’ll rank for a given keyword or catchphrase.

Over the years, this has turned out to be to a lesser extent a scientific issue and to a greater degree a relationship-based one.

Google once ascertained a site’s power in light of the sheer number of backlinks, however because of spam and forceful rank control, it now just supports regular, significant connections.

Before we go into the best types of backlinks to avoid, let us share the best type of backlink

Natural Editorial Links:

This types of backlinks is the holy grail for SEOs. Essentially, these are the links that you didn’t even have to ask for because they are editorially given by other website owners.

This is much more efficient than having to contact someone and ask them to link to you. However, you need to give someone a good reason to do so, and you need to find ways of making large numbers of bloggers aware of your content.

What does that mean for you, the link builder or SEO?

It implies you should be watchful where your links come from. In case you’re associated with spamming unnatural connections for reasons of boosting your page rank, you could end up bagging for yourself a Google penalty.

Since it’s as yet critical to build links to your content in-order to  prevail in search engine result pages you need to be mindful of the types of links that can be helpful to your cause and the ones that are risky and may result in a penalty.

Here are eight unsafe backlink sources to avoid if you want to avoid a Google penalty:

Read More: Increase Website Traffic or Visitors

Types of Backlinks to Avoid

1. Article Indexes:

Article indexes used to be very popular in the realm of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). They were modest, simple, valuable approaches to syndicate one article and produce several links pointing back to your site from other members of the article index.

An excessive number of individuals exploited this, syndicating inadequately composed, catchphrase stuffed cushion, and Google paid heed. From that point forward, Google’s calculation has punished backlinks that have been created from low-quality article registries, and has explored for any copied content on the web that could be confirmation of such activities.

If you want to avoid getting hit by a Google Penalty, avoid adding your site to article indexes.

2. Link Farm

Link farms, as their name implies, are low-quality assets that exist exclusively to have links from different locales. They fill no need individually other than to increase page rank for different websites.

This may sound relatively kindhearted, yet since they exist just to control page positions, they’ve earned a smack down from Google.

You’ll probably never observe a link farm on the principal page of Google again and in light of current circumstances—they don’t do anything to enhance online client encounter or give any important link juice. In the event that you happen to discover one, don’t consider utilizing it as  solution for providing backlinks to your website.

3. Link Exchanges:

Backlink-exchange

To begin with, let me say that relationship building is awesome in an online setting. Finding important accomplices with whom you can share content is an incredible method to commonly assemble specialist and offer a group of people.

In any case, on the off chance that you unreasonably trade links with other sources, you could get some genuine negative consideration from Google.

Decent variety tallies, so if a lot of your backlink profile is subject to one or a bunch of different sources, it could be awful for every one of you.

Don’t hesitate to post on each other’s blog, yet don’t trade a a lot of backlinks with another source except if it it represents a tiny piece of your total link profile.

4. Paid Sources:

Google’s authentic strategy expresses that paying for links is bad. That is it. In the event that Google some way or another discovers that you’ve been paying for your backlinks, or in the event that they find your source offering backlinks in exchange for financial incentives, they will bring down the sledge down on everyone included.

Paying for singular link may appear a financially savvy and simple system to rapidly build your link profile, however regardless of whether those connections are high in quality, the danger of getting captured is excessively incredible.

Paying for SEO administrations is somewhat of a hazy area, however paying straightforwardly for backlinks is terrible news regardless.

5. Link Wheels:

Link Wheels

Links wheels are basically the fraudulent business models of third party linking, and simply like fraudulent business models, they are an exercise in futility and ultimately a waste of cash.

Link wheels are counterfeit methods for linking through a progression of links that point do not directly point at each other. In a link wheel link A points to link B, but link B does not point back to link A, rather it points to link C.

Similarly, link C does not point back to link B, rather it points to link D. The wheel continues to the last link in the link wheel, which could be link Z. Link Z will then point to link A.

Basically, whole point of link wheels is to trick search robots into thinking the links are not related. Like most bad linking methods, on paper it appears as though a smart thought and it used to work superbly and still works to some extent today.

Be that as it may, Google is sharp, and they’re astute to every one of these tricks. Connection squeezing in itself is certainly not an awful procedure, yet attempting to fabricate a link wheel will ultimately end badly.

6. Conversation Fittings:

Attempting to slip your connection into an unessential discussion, or posting your link toward the end of your remark paying little heed to the conditions is a case of a terrible back link system.

While blog comments are customarily incredible assets for quality third party link, if your message is proposed exclusively to to gain a back link, you’re stuck in an unfortunate situation.

Rather, center around discovering approaches to link your connections normally into the discussion. Search out strings that give you a chance to introduce yourself as a specialist. At that point, ensure your connection indicates back an important page—and not a similar one again and again.

7. Irrelevant Indexes:

There are a few indexes that are useful for third party link building. Exceptionally engaged, specialty based indexes attempt to sort out and assemble links between organizations in a similar industry, and applicable connections you post there will tally decidedly toward your own page rank.

In any case, posting links in an index that has nothing to do with your industry is a negative practice that ought to be kept away from no matter what.

Google realizes what sort of organization you are; in case you’re a handyman shop posting in an eatery catalog, you should jaust ask for the penalty request a punishment straightforwardly.

8. Non-Newsworthy Public statements:

Customarily, public statements are an awesome wellspring of valuable backlinks. They’re cases of elegantly composed content that exhibit your image, point to your site, and can be acknowledged by a portion of the most noteworthy news sites.

Be that as it may, if your official statements are not newsworthy, your system can accomplish more mischief than great. Posting too many public statements for posting official statements is viewed as a kind of spam; you’ll have copy content everywhere throughout the web, and a progression of exhausting, cushion filled updates indicating back your webpage.

It’s a terrible method to manufacture back links, and can harm the notoriety of your organization.

Sadly, posting in the correct spots isn’t sufficient to ensure that you’ll stay away from a punishment. The unique situation and recurrence of your connections is likewise imperative.

Notwithstanding when presenting on a trustworthy site of high expert, you have to guarantee that your backlink is useful to your users and pertinent to the discussion.

Additionally be mindful so as not to present an excessive number of links on a similar place in a similar area, or you could get negative consideration for spamming. Utilize Nofollow links to alleviate these dangers, and empower mark notices at whatever point conceivable.

The greatest takeaway here is that there is no ensured place of refuge for posting backlinks. It’s great to keep away from the famous low-quality offenders in the rundown above, yet despite everything you have to ensure every one of your links are divided out, broadened, and applicable to see the best outcomes.

Quality external link establishment requires some serious energy and tolerance, and sadly, there are no easy routes.

Instagram as a platform was introduced in 2010. Currently, it is being used by millions of people worldwide as a great tool for business. If you want to go viral, use Instagram wisely.

First, concentrate on your Instagram settings. Here, you need to check all the settings on your Instagram account.

Note that some small adjustments could make you be in a position to connect you with millions if not hundreds of other online users.

So what do you do?

  • Ensure to work on your settings so that you can easily find other online users via the “find and invite friends” or “suggested users”.
  • Make sure your profile shows who you are what you do and should not allow being tagged with damaging content. Go to your settings and adjust the “Tagging Options” and change to “Add manually”.
  • Create online connections with other important users who can share and view your content.
  • Fill in your bio completely so that other users are clear about whom they are following. Adding exciting facts so that your followers will want to be glued to your profile waiting for what you will share in the next post.
  • Include relevant #hashtags that you use regularly as well as keywords so that you can be noticed by Google, #hashtag searchers and Pinterest users interested in your content.
  • Include all relevant information so that users can know they are following a genuine person.

2. Use relevant #hashtags in your videos

Since #hashtags were introduced in social media, they have shown to be an influential component when it comes to getting your content liked, increasing your online presence as well as increasing engagement with your audience who could help to generate more leads for your brand.

Note that generating more leads equal to more conversions which ultimately leads to more business. You must understand that #hashtags are not only meant to be used on your Instagram photos or stories but also for your videos as well.

However, you need to ensure to choose right #hashtags so that you can expand your reach and connect yourself with new Instagram users as well who are #hashtag searchers.

How to choose the best/right #hashtags?

Finding the right #hashtags to boost your video visibility on Instagram can be challenging. Ideally, the best #hashtags are the ones that are used by many people.

For instance, if you operate a salon business, using #happy or #summer could make you look unclear. But something like #summernailart could be a better 3hashtag for your Instagram video.

In addition, if you include your location on the #hashtags, you will make your business more searchable to potential customers who are close to you who are interested in the hashtag you are using.

3. Run Instagram video ads

Unlike other organic posts, Instagram ads cost money. However, although this is an Instagram’s paid advertising option, it can act as a catalyst to stir your following and make you get more Instagram views quickly.

If you have a video that you want to go viral, starting a “video views” campaign could be the best means to achieve that.

Instagram ads have been an effective option since they were introduced. In fact, the large companies out there are using Instagram ads to reach millions of relevant users as well as engagements.

However, you should know that Instagram ads are more costly than Facebook ads, so, be wise as you use this option.

4. Post shareable videos

You want your videos to be viewed by your followers and their followers so when creating videos, ensure they are interesting and that your followers can share them with their fans.  By this, you will be able to easily expand your video views.

5. Repost your existing videos

While it is important to share the latest and relevant content to your social media profiles and blog posts, reposting your existing videos could also increase their viewership.

You could take short snippets from existing lengthy videos and share them on Instagram with a pertinent #hashtag.

You can as well repost a video you shared some months back. Note that your new followers might not be able to view a video you shared some months back, so reposting your videos could make it possible for new followers to view them.

However, you should focus on reposting helpful, informative and interesting videos to your Instagram profile.

6. Schedule your posts to go live at peak times

Although Instagram’s algorithm has somehow affected when users see post shared, scheduling videos to go live during peak times can be an effective way to increase your views.

Note that most engagement on Instagram happens immediately you share content, it is good to know your followers’ peak times so that you can increase your video views.

Note that you will need to understand what the peak times are for your particular followers. For instance, videos or photos gain more viewership during non-work hours.

Also, you need to know that Instagram is always less busy on Sundays so if you share your video on this day, don’t expect to get more Instagram views.

Conclusion

Instagram is a powerful social media platform for sharing videos that are interesting, informative and helpful to your followers.

Use these tips to get more views on your Instagram videos and increase your engagement which could lead to making more business sales.

XTouch X10

Mostly XTouch smartphones you’d see are in the budget category and it does make some nice offerings. The XTouch X10 belongs to this smartphone scene and it has a rather exquisite build portraying modern design inclination. Although, the smartphone is as basic as can be, it manages to have some nice quality in terms of specs and design. What XTouch has done here is a smartphone that is low budget but still manages to appear with some modicum of brilliance.

XTouch X10 Key Specs and Features

  • 5.8-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels
  • Android 7.0 Nougat
  • Quad-Core MediaTek MT6737 CPU with 2GB RAM
  • 16GB built-in storage, up to 128GB with a memory card
  • 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera
  • 4G LTE
  • Fingerprint scanner (rear)
  • 4, 000mAh non removable Li–Ion battery

XTouch X10

Design and Display

Even if the smartphone looks good for an entry level smartphone, it is no where near having premium aesthetics. You have got a smartphone made from metal and plastic with characteristical reduction in bezels. The rear camera is joined by a dual LED just under it at the left corner and the XTouch branded at the centre above which there is a fingerprint scanner.

Flip it over and you would be greeted by a screen flanked with slim bezels at the side. However, the chin is still very much prominent as well as the top bezel too. Diagonally, the display covers an area of 5.8-inch lit up by 1440 X 720 pixels in the 2:1 aspect ratio.

Battery and Camera

The XTouch X10 does well to a large extent in the battery capacity segment. It carries a 4, 000mAh capacity well above what you find on an average smartohone. Fast charge is not included in this package which is normal in entry level smartphones and certainly not with the spec sheet.

Normally, the entry level smartphone is not the go-to option for crisp pictures. You would have to pay more to get this and the XTouch X10 has a simple 13MP camera on the back. To the front, there is an 8MP camera and sadly without a front flash.

Hardware and Software

In the normal way of these low budget smartphones, a MediaTek chipset is the most used for these small time Chinese OEMs. Same goes for the XTouch X10, which in this case sports a MediaTek MT6763 processor which has only four cores. The GPU in charge is a Mali-T720 with 2 cores and a clock speed of 600MHz.

There is nothing exciting in the remainder of the specs, it includes a 2GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage extendable to 128GB. The Android 7.0 Nougat OS on top is also a bit outdated too.

XTouch X10 Pricing and Availability

The smartpgosm is sold for about 45, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
