You certainly have no idea of what you are talking about. There is no such thing as European Tecno. Tecno is a down-market smartphone and it would be dead even before arriving Europe.

We buy the same phone, just that they are made in China plants for Africa markets. The United States will not accept products from China unless developed in America. That's why Apple rules the US markets..

But in essence, we are getting the same phone, the only reason why big companies manufacture in China and bring down to Africa is because of cheap labor in China.. A Samsung galaxy S4 produced in the US is the same with what is produced in China.. Get that fact and don't let anyone deceive you or rather, stop deceiving other people.. cheesy
bobo, there's what we call standard of products. It differs in every country. Except youre importing directly from europe, what those guys make for Africa, especially Nigeria is wack.

Don't get it twisted..It's not about marketing or advertising a product here,i don't really know much about Xaoimi but if it happens to be better than Gionee phones i wud advise all and sundry to get it for themselves..at least we should buy a gud mid range phone if we aint capable of getting the more expensive but far better high end phones at present..As regards 4.4 KitKat update..they've made d promise so u just chill till they disappoint b4 u crucify them at least they've been releasing non OS updates consistently..just dat those updates aint available in Nigeria yet..i was made to know on their facebuk page dat they are having problem in liaison with local network operators in Nigeria & dat's what's delaying OTA updates in Nigeria and i don't really get how that's stpping them..i hope they strike a deal asap anyway..i almost bought Tecno Phantom AII..i changed my decision at d eleventh hour and i have no regrets ever since then..my friend that bought AII a week b4 i bought my E3 was even like only if he had known that there's a phone called Gionee e3 he'd have bought it too..i hope to see him as soon as ASUU strike is called off and tell him he has got a nice phone too..peace

Re: Tecno Is Losing The Smartphone War In Nigeria To Gionee by seunpayne(m): 7:16am On Nov 14, 2013
Tecno is losing. Not as fast as most tecno haters would like but losing all the same.
There used to be a hype. They used to have a franchise. All that has blown away. Truth is Nigerians are a very traditional bunch. Gionee e3 nd tecno a+ are closely matched but a+ sold even more. You would expect that trend to continue but since Gionee p2 came out it would almost seem the tide is changing. And it's simply because tecno is still branded chinko while Gionee is conveniently dubbed an Indian product.

It's a no brainer really. Tecno is making the same mistake BlackBerry did. Sitting on their hands and enjoying success without actually changing anything. Can you imagine the Gionee e6 has been sitting unrivaled for months? They have gone as far as actually themeing the roms which wouldn't impress one like me but is a selling point to common folk.

Tecno service centers which was the final cherry dangled to sell their devices has been exposed to be just a sham. Don't argue that part just walk into any and see how many people regret buying a phone with T on it. Gionee has no known service centers that I know of anyway but those devices have shown that they can withstand a lot. How many broken or cracked Gionee screens are out there? Or Bricked Gionee phones.? Do the math.

Tecno started something so beautiful but are now dropping the ball. It's hard to swallow as I should be dubbed a tecno fan boy. I still have my shirt with the T on it. Gionee isn't winning anything just yet tho. Not when there are more brand names climbing out of the chasm. Like Marc said, it's all about the best specs. And it hurts me to say, but as of today Gionee has it in the e6.

Re: Tecno Is Losing The Smartphone War In Nigeria To Gionee by seunlayi(m): 9:32am On Nov 14, 2013
I reason with what you just said. Gionee are in the game but they are not winning tecno yet, Tecno has gone far in Nigeria market, there product are in most home in Nigeria. I just hope they wake up to the real game

Hmmmm...gionee is a company that spend while tecno r still waiting for mediatek...tecno suppose to b using snapdragon processor too but i think they r afraid they wont sell because d phone would b damn expensive....
Btw d price of gionee e7 would b around 90-100k...
TECNO HAS MADE A LOT OF MONEY IN AFRICA... I WOULD ADVISE THEM TO START USING SNAPDRAGON PROCESSOR TOO....I FEEL AFRICANS WOULD STILL BUY THE PHONE COS THEY VE MADE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES WITH DERE COOL PRODUCTS..
