Why do users prefer the Congolese market over other “official” companies to repair their devices?

We talked to some users who took their devices to be repaired and two aspects are evident:

  • In the Congolese market the prices are competitive, that is, the labor is not so expensive.
  • Speed ​​in execution the service. Finding the right technicians (see content above), we have our problem solved in a matter of minutes.
  • Spare parts for cars. Being a market and having a lot of technicians, they form a small parts supply network. If the display of your smartphone more quickly find a substitute display in the Congolese than in another branch store.

Here is the important part. Prices may vary from technician to technician, but we try to obtain a table with the prices of the most requested services there:

Display exchange (labor and display included)
  1. iPad 1,2,3: 15 thousand AKZ
  2. iPhone 4 and 4S: 10mil AKZ
  3. iPad Mini: 20 Mil AKZ

And we have to make a comment here relatively  price difference between the display exchange of iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3, approximately 25 thousand kwanzas of difference, an aspect that weighs when choosing the smartphone. According to the technicians, the advantage of the Galaxy S3's display is in the one of the assembly, taking much less time than the assembly of the display of the iPhone. You can confirm this in the videos ( iPhone 4S and Galaxy S3)

About the Software, prices vary, depending on the origin of the smartphone (the most common Brazil, USA, Dubai, China). For example, for unlocking baseband, prices vary between 25 and 30 thousand AKZ.
