I just ran into this topic. And if with all my years of working on the Android platform and I don't comment then I have left most Nigerians mislead. The name is techno the other is Samsung. And for those of u even comparing that name to techno to the name Samsung, I guess u have been paid by techno to help promote their cheap hardware. Now let's start with hardware.

Samsung hardware is far too superior for techno, techno have to sell their phones cheap so they don't have to spend too much money on making a hardware to compare with the likes of Apple Nokia Sony or HTC. But that's the category Samsung belongs, the competitive zone. Samsung has to build their hardware to meet the standards of other oem's but techno don't have to cos they believe Nigerians are dummies that will use anything sold for a price that equals a waste product. Samsung uses some of the best chips in the mobile industry, the exynos chip and the snapdragon, what those tecno use? Some worthless chip with bad processing power. Samsung uses some of the best display technology in the super amoled display, what those tecno use? Some screen looking like a phone of the early 2000. And for the battery Samsung phones pack very powerful chipset which requires good energy to process data at a fast pace so the battery has to be at his best. Techno phones don't really need powerful batteries cos they already have a chip of no value and display is like a wrist watch. As for the cameras, Samsung packs some very good cameras that can compete with Apple Sony and other oem. But tecno 5mp equals the 3mp on a Nokia Asha phone, what a shame!.

Now let's look at their software, the only reason why apple(crapple) keeps taking Samsung to court in my own thinking is cos they can't cope with the kind of innovation Samsung brings to software design. Smart stay, smart pause, smart scroll, air gestures, smart commands, multiwindow, pop-up play, spen innovations and many others. My friend tecno phones lacks innovation all they do is pack an unbacked Android os into some cheap hardware.

Now let's talk about updates. When u buy a Samsung device at a high price it is because u are paying for other services as well which includes updates. Tecno doesn't care about updates. If u buy a Tecno device on Android 4.2 that's the end of the life of the Android os.

So my fellow nairalanders am not pushing Tecno of the way totally, if u can't afford a Samsung device then buy a tecno device to get a taste of Android but when u decide to compare Samsung to Tecno that's were u been very ignorant and very biased.

The Nigeria market isn't wanna of Samsung strong hold so Tecno innovation doesn't really bother them as a company.

I conclude by saying buy Tecno if u can't afford Samsung but by Samsung if u can afford it and stop been mislead.

shm ,Samsung pay you for this campaign?

capital lie. .tecno. . .you can upgrade d os aswell. .the chips are also d same..tecno b3s even last longer..samsung r only selling their name. 'SAMSUNG'. IF derez any samsung wit itz equivalent tecno. .tell us wat d samsung can do dat tecno cant do? Or can s4 download food. .still waiting 4 dat smartfone

Dats soo true!


But leave us alone, we like am like dat!
Android na Android.
Even if na Samsung or Seunsing, Gionee or Gineoo, HTC or HCT, I-Tel or J-Tel,....Android na Android.

Case Closed!!!

TECNO Brand Bashing All Started With Tecno N3

Lagos, Nigeria. The Launch of Tecno N3 an affordable and credible alternative Android SmartDevice for Smart phone users, students, Tech enthusiasts, middle and low income earners, etc. It upstaged the insanely expensive recognised Korean and American brands within the Nigerian Smart Devices market. It could play HD games, came with support for dual sim - Dual standby, WIFI Hotspot and HSPDA+ in the long lists of features.

This Tecno Android phone, the N3 brought along with it a string of other launches like the Phantom A Series, M, N, D and L series. The Nigerian Smart Devices market will never remain the same again with Tecno currently spreading like wild fires into Corporate Organisations, educational and government owned institutions etc giving everybody the choice of Android Smart Device to buy at varying price points and the most recognised after service care centres spread across the nation.

Sorry but the Tecno P9 comes with OTA Update so get ur facts rite

Blah blah blah....

Lol. Those asking money to buy Samsung. Read the concluding part of my post. It reads if u can't afford Samsung then buy tecno. And for the poster using foul words like tiger battery or what did ur head say? Am laughing at ur joke seriously. If u have more foul words use them. And I didn't say u must buy Samsung. Nigerians read clearly before making comments because Internet is cheap. Did some one just say tecno has amoled display? My brother they don't. And as for ota I will check on that. And even if u get an ota update it won't be a major update like a new Android version it may be just a small update to apps and fixes nothing. And I wasn't paid to say all this. Samsung won't pay u to say all this, their device speaks for itself. I wil still say buy tecno if u can't afford Samsung, it still gives u a taste of Android

These are the kind of lawyers our system keeps producing. Incompetent fools that claim to be learned.

Op u wan enter front page abi?
And you did, so did I. I go dey quick comment for any tecno vs Samsung thread, seem to be the easiest way to make front page. 11th to ******* by the way.

Sweet Soup: Op u wan enter front page abi?

Front page? What's that about? Please educate me on the benefits of been on a front page

@OP what you seem to have done is simply compare flagship Samsung Devices with Tecno devices, budget Samsung Devices lack all that bell and whistle and are likely no match for Tecno's offerings. sure Tecno lacks an R&D department and thus "somewhat" lacklustre specs. Now remember Samsung of years past (go back 6 years), their devices were hardly inspiring, beside Tecno is niche (made for emerging markets) for a reason- they know they can't fight the Android game at flagship level......at least not yet.

Not to flog an ailing topic but you get what you pay for, if Tecno develops a device with Amoled, 3gb ram, exynos chipset and invests a lot in R&D, you can not expect the price to be "affordable". so let's move past the constant contrasting and enjoy the various brands and the sector of the market they are concerned with conquering.

This is the most meaniful post I have come across in a long while. I just wanted people to understand that Samsung isn't tecno. It's already becoming an everyday argument. Wanted to clear d air

Op edit your topic and make the appropriate correction. It's Samsung and not Smasung and it's Tecno, not Techno.

Op, edit your topic and make the appropriate corrections. It's Samsung and not Smasung and it's Tecno, not Techno.

You have a point, but that wouldn't stop me from using Tecno. As far as it can serve my day to day needs like dictionary, internet, media, etc, I Dont f**king care about Samsung Amoled or Snapdragon sh*t you all cared about. For God sake using a smartphone isn't just for fun alone, when will you understand that? Stop being kids, buy what your money can buy and stop saying sh*ts everywhere.

I'm glad you said techno


Mine's a Tecno



Even 'smasung' is chinko

guy i tink u ar very stupid for opening dis thread, dats d problem wit u ungrateful nigerians, wen sometin is cost u complain wen its cheap u also complain. if na ur papa make tecno him go sell am dat cheap?

Op Shut the hell up, not everyone can afford Samsung S4 or S3.

Tecno has stepped up there game, there latest device P9 pad mini comes with OTA upgrade

Op Shut the hell up, not everyone can afford Samsung S4 or S3.

Tecno has stepped up there game, there latest device P9 pad mini comes with OTA upgrade better battery life. It more affordable

i just dy gbadun ona flow.... Op you're wrong with that oh... Every tech giant have opponents...tecno is tackling samsung so also gionee and the rest are also tackling tecno.... You see everyone is making a run for there money...

It is so funny to see how folks claim that Tecno is no match for Samsung bla bla bla and yet open threads that stinks of insecurity and jealousy.

OP, your post is one sided and it is not a good analysis, it is a total rubbish. You stated what Samsung used for hardware but failed to state what Tecno used. You did same for the chip set too. Do you think you are talking to foools or villagers? Your argument is very senzeless.

Moreover, put it in your brain that a phone is not a definition of one's social status. If a phone can perform what you need it for, that is okay and it is none of your business.

#I don't use any of the devices and I am more than satisfied with what I use.

it is obvious u are advocating for samsung....silly

Simple answer. Samsung is better than Tecno, Agreed. but let people buy what they can afford, really this whole topic is tiring. Its like Comparing a Buggati to volvo, so because I use a volvo should I cover my head in shame? Y does it have to be an issue ? if I can afford the new Samsung note 3 which by the way is super awesome, then I'll buy it, and if I can't I'll go for something lower.

simple as a b c.

All is see frm diz posts of comparin tecno products to oda brands is jst pure beef. Wen u're enjoyin smtin coz u can easily afford it bt u dnt want odaz dat cant afford mch to av a stint. U bot a produkt for 90k, i bot mine for less dan 30k and its servin my purpose as yours, plz y d beef? Colonial mentality!! Soon now u go dey blame GeJ
