Bro, non removable battery is not an issue. Some of the modern high-end Android Phones have their batteries non-removable.

Key words 'high-end'. Anyway u are currently using it so u no wat u are saying. l currently use samsung galaxy s2 t-mobile, but the reason am lukin at all dis affordable phones (including tecno) is because of the dual sim functionality. May have to wait a little b4 buying just to see wat the f7 is coming with.

As for needing extra batteries, I never worry about that since you have POWERBANKS available. I use one with my BB. A fully charged 5600mah power bank charges my BB Curve 4 three times(Each from flat to full). So, we should worry about how to reset it when you have poorly written apps that may hang the phone preventing it from turning off. But, I believe there must be a way. Besides, google is our friend. We can start by applying the method used in resetting phones like Sony Xperia Acro S(which has a non-removable battery too) and see if it works since they are both are Droids.

[quote author=texazzpete]Basically, you'd have to be a fool to buy any of the Techno phones on sale in Nigeria over this one right now. This has a Quad core CPU,
i am of the opinion that tecno f7 is tryin to draw our attention to d fact dat u cannot run a quard core on a 2100 ah battery wit out having poor ba3 perfomance and heating up. i stand to b corrected with out insults.let someone who isnt a marketer check the battery again

All we keep seeing everywhere is Finet and a number to call and place order(esp on your facebook page).Publish your address,I have to see what I am buying before I pay and not the other way round.

This phone is amazing. It Dropped on a rough surface yesterday, I was expecting scratches as usual. lo and behold, I picked it up and there was no single scratch, even with the impact on the ground.
I observed that, the body of this phone is made of rugged and anti scratch film. It may not need any body cover or protection.

I bought it at Abuja. Device & Gadgets, Banex Plaza Abuja. It's 38k.

To put some of the amazing specs of this phone into perspective: not even Samsung puts gorilla glass or quad core (even though its A7 but still) on their mid-range phones and the GPU the D1 uses is in the same class as the GPU in the Galaxy S4 although I doubt it is multi-cored like that of the Galaxy but still it is amazing.

I guess the only thing that will hold this baby back is software optimisation but for a mid-ranger this phone is a damn good bargain.

Why wont they make this phone available to a lot of marketers so one can easily buy it at any major shop in computer village or nationwide? A phone as gud as this (spec wise) is so hard to find in the market, does make any sense 2 me..

Do you think it is easy to take a chance on a new product when you already are committed to selling proven market leaders? A seller wants to know that his market will move and is not so interested in specs. Any mobile phone seller will pick Samsung products over Gionee until Gionee becomes a household name.

I think if you really want this phone you'll go and comb computer village till you get it. As for me come monday I am off to Banex plaza Abuja to get mine.

Waiting, but so you know i tink the device is awesome. Am just suprise nd pissed dat you can't buy it at major phone shop. I was at c.villge last week for dis device, checked micro station, mizbeach and some smaller shops but couldn't find it. Infact alot of shops i visited don't even know d device.
