It's 'slave mentality', not 'slavery mentality'. But I am not surprised sha, typical tecno users don't know how to speak correct English

AWONEYAN: @OP you forgot that Nigerians don't need a costly fone of 100k with the rate of crime in Nigeria. When u know u can easily loose the fone to big boys in d next 6 months so why are you talking abt durabilty. I have been using my techno for d past 2yrs yet no issue! Abeg forget d samsung advert u r doing here.

kalufelix: Lol...look at him/her bragging with someone else's language...you get what I mean don't you?

ibot_jaycob:

See another ignorant Assu reject, Apple gave samsung hardware to use? in what ancient century do you live? Once you can free yourself from the shackles of ignorance then you will know that you can't compare both companies and their devices

You are a child. You can't even read much less comprehend. When you have the intellectual capacity to engage in a discuss come back and make your case. For now run along dear child.

Discourse not discuss, use your grammar properly

indigold2010: 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.

Go to school son or at least use a dictionary.

ibot_jaycob:
Discourse not discuss, you can't even use your grammar properly, tecno does not come with dictionary? lool

fellis:

You are not a tecno or Samsung fan so mind your business. Oversabi pokenoser.

ibot_jaycob: Till I see a review of any tecno phone on Huffington post, time magazine and top international gadgets journal please keep your ignorant mouth shut. If your phone cant compete on an international stage then please hide it.

redcliff:

You still dont get? No one is saying tecno is a write off and should not be bought. We are all saying that there is not a comparism (except price) between a samsung product and a tecno product. If you like buy all the tecno phones in the world, the painment there, is that nigerians are comparing a product with no quality to the world's best. In europe or america, i am certain that there is no tecno bullsh.t bla bla because they cant pass quality conteol. You cannot compare a rolls royce to a kia. Its impossibru

haji_bashi: At OP, you have actually done a great Job, but the limitation is not to Techno alone, other china product are in this category, what we fail to realize is the fact that, if samsung, iphone,blackberry,Sony Ericsson, nokia etc sell their product for a particular price and techno or any of this other china product comes in with almost thesame thing at a cheaper price, then we need to check it, definitely it is substandard, i don't have issue with this phones (i mean china phones) running on android OS but the truth of the matter is that their hardware configuration is substandard, cos they don't meet the right standard and we all know and are aware that even a product that meet the right standard generate radiation injurious to our health let alone a product that does not meet the right standard will generate more radiations i pray in few years to come we will not have increase cancer risk because of this cheap product we are using.

sucess001:

so now the reason u buy a fone is to make it compete on international stage? Nigerians and the way we think sha

3kay945:

Uhmm, what phones do you use? Have you tried the phones you compared?
Well, I have Sony neo that cost 39k at the time of purchase, the ram is just 512.
I also have tecno m7 with 1gb ram (baba won) cost 24k.
Bros, M7 beat that my Sony , because the number of application and multi tasking it does is superb. The Sony will be lagging and restart if it dear try it.
The only thing I admire in the Sony now is the camera and the stylish design that s all.
Think about it, if my small techno m7 can do these, what will phantom and co perform ?

Tecno phones give more than their price. Eat that!

shuga: meanwhile, I still haven't seen and downloaded a BBM for my galaxy S4. each time I try on playstore it says, "This version is not compatible with your device" pls help

sultanemerald:

You can't read. You cant comprehend. You are looking for attention. Father issues perhaps? Oh poor child. I don't use a tecno nor a Samsung son. Go cry somewhere else. I have no time for toadies.

ibot_jaycob:

Lol thirsty child, don't take it personal we all make mistakes, use your grammar properly next time.

Leonidas8: Especially that Gionee Elife E6. That phone was a HUGE disappointment with an inadequate 2020mAh battery powering a power-hungry full HD 1080p 5'' screen & no expandable storage. Out of the 3 reviews i read of the phone, 2 mentioned that the phone lags out of the box due either to the frugal (but relatively weak) mediatek processor or the heavy amigo skin/launcher on the phone, & someone here (Brainrex) who bought the phone also confirmed that it truly lags.

ibot_jaycob:

y use something substandard? if its soo good it will be able to compete internationally not just here in Nigeria

martinz1:


Guy u are totally wrong by saying in the real world people dont use samsung,,, what u should have said is that nigerian teens and other that can't afford samsung go for tecno because it offers them the same android os,,,, samsung devices has the highest sales world wide,,,

martinz1: Tecno or whatever u Call it is a chinese phone,(remember chinese phones with tv, ac, radio antenna,etc) these phones where banned in usa and other western countries, but nigeria we just accept any device irrespective of it nature,,,tecno is a low end phone ,,never ever compare samsung with tecno, samsung is not just a phone maker, its a household name ,industrial machines,, ofshore crude oil machinaries, ,.,,,, but tecno phones are still ok and sweet,,, but samsung is more superior and generally accepted worldwide,,u can never see any network in usa or uk or any western country branding their name on any tecno device,, but u can see at&t lg, htc samsung, huawei, zte,, but never tecno,,
But that doesn't mean tecno phones aren't good,
Some tecno Android phones are sweet to use ,
The bottom line is never compare tecno to samsung, they are not on the same level,, its just like comparing a keke napep (trycycle vehicle) to a german brand(rolls royce ghost). Its true that both vehicle can move u from point A to point B, but their is a difference,,
