Why You Should Buy A Tecno Phantom A2 Over A Samsung Galaxy S4 by adeyemiolutoye(m): 5:39pm On Oct 24, 2013 |
There was so much hype in and outside the market over the release of Samsung galaxy S4 device this year, not because the phone was close to being one of the best or because it was just another smart phone; the hype was necessary, after all it was a new phone. Both those that can and cannot afford it were so much anticipated to hear the news of the release that they never cared much if there can/ was an alternative to buying something similar to that phone. No doubts, Samsung is a brand almost everyone will love to associate with, because of their long time existence and the trust they have built in us; but when taken for granted, trust can be misplaced. Experience and existence wise, Tecno is nowhere near Samsung but that is no determinant for a good and affordable product. I know a good brand when I see one and I know a better brand when I see one also irrespective of their duration in the market. Apart from the price advantage Tecno Phantom A2 has over its counterpart, it is very similar in function, structure, design and so on. It is as if Samsung galaxy S4 is a prototype of Tecno Phantom A2. I have reviewed the features of both phones (if interested, you should too) and I came to a conclusion that it is a waste of money buying a Samsung galaxy S4 when a Tecno Phantom A2 is available with almost 95% the same features at a far cheaper price; and it seems Samsung is taking us for granted by hyping the price of their products so much. It is as if we are being exploited here in Africa, this is the 21st century, smart phones are not what we think they used to be; they are just phones. Many will chase after this device and will later blame the government for their poor decision making skills. When it comes to things like this, an average Nigerian is quick to make judgment over the cheaper one terming it as fake without proper enquiry/researches. You get to save over 60,000 Naira worth of cash if you purchase the Tecno device instead. The reason behind the demand of a particular good is best known to the buyer; your reason should be realistic though. With a Tecno Phantom A2 on the shelf, Samsung galaxy S4 is not worth that much even if it was made in space. Besides, you don’t need an economist to tell you it is economical to get a Tecno Phantom over a Samsung galaxy S4; if Tecno can make it affordable, Samsung can make it affordable. *No Beefs* NT: Our differences affects our choices. People buy the same phones for different purpose and with different reasons... For instance, if I was after the Camera feature, I will rather get a Samsung over a Tecno. PS: Nice and hilarious comments so far. ROFTLMAO 2 Likes |

OP makes a bit of sense. The problem with Nigerians is that we place luxury above necessity. If the two can offer the same functions perfectly well without any hassles, it makes sense to go for the cheaper one. Besides, does your father land, Nigeria produce of these items? No. Yet na we wan flash the most expensive things instead of the most fundamental. We are very few that think along this line though. You can yab however.я 8 Likes |

There are no similar things that wont draw comparism. The fact that you dont need it does not mean others dont need it. It will definitely help others to decide. Besides, Nigeria does not and cant produce even a product worse than tecno. 2 Likes |

The hight of stupidity....Comparing Samsung Galaxy S4 to tecno with sub-par build quality and material...you probably have never heard of gorilla glass.... S4 has a full HD 1080p superAmoled display - tecno just a cheap hd display (not even upto 250ppi).....A very advanced intelligent person knows that display clarity matters,especially for person like me who do research on wikipedia more than fours daily...do you even knw that viewing some on a terrible display can ruin you eyes(this guy go prefer sharp 15" to sony bravia tv or look at it as waste of money and don't even think about the value) S4 come in quad core/octa core variants WHILE tecno just a cheap qaud core that would begin to lag after about 3 Months use. s4 come in 16/32/64 gb varaints with more than half access WHILE tecno not even upto quarter is accessable S4 you get awesome bulid quality,good battery,1080p camera,wireless charging, and tons of software features.. Bro don't be ignorant,you get good quality for your money.it's only logical.Don't go with the average nigerian mentality that cheap are better than expensive. ."Even the chinese Who make Tecno don't sell it to their own people becuase they knw value of good product and sub-par... 3 Likes |

@OP, no offenses intended....it's just sheer stupidity that made you write this rubbish up here....S4 ranks among the best 5smartphones in the world while techno can't even reach top 5 "low end china phones" ....go to Ebay and see better "low end china phones" out there...this techno no even better GIONEE E6, talk more of S4 If you were paid to praise the A2 over the S4, please don't go near the features, because even a layman knows the truth. 2 Likes |

This is clearly porverty speaking. First of all, the only ting similar about the A2 and the S4 is the fact that the run on the same OS and it ends at that. This is what to expect when some poor kid who buys phones only to play games speaks. Spitting out sentiments about price and not one single tech stat to prove your point. The S4 is superior to the A2 in every department. It'S an insult to even put them in the same sentence. 2 Likes |

simple facts, a year ago, bold 5 etc was the thing for bb users, iphone, S 2 and S 3 was for android, this time next year, it might even be shameful to have S 4 or Phantom, stop investing in technology that is always evolving, buy reasonble gadgets. 2 Likes |
