venorite: Op sorry tho,I always tell people to stay away from china fones.I don't see any reason why u will buy a fone for 35k that won't last wen u could just budget 40k for a samsung s3 that you will use without complaints.these tecno fones will only make sense wen their carl centres start doing what they are expected to do.pls nobody should quote me cos this is my opinion,ure entittled to urs.pele op

deejay_harry1: these are the faults one encounters gradually with an mtk device... i always warn against this.. not only tecno, but all mtk

seribroo56: DIS STATEMENT IS FALSE

olahero: 2013 is their first year of producing TECNO Smartphones running on ANDROID and the times are still young for WE consumer to have the 90% of their best product, fact is that they really tried and and I commend their effort on making Smartphones of their product cheap like no others, first of their product N3 was sold until it was desapear in markets and please tell me, are you expecting non of thousands of it to have no fault? follow by their other products which rock every angle of Nigeria, @Op, i had read a post like this on Samsung S4 here on NL so tackle the probe by urself.

I was thrilled when I just got my N7, shey its the techno peeps have been yammering about. It was all rosy until the phone just refused to power on after less than 2 months of careful use. I happily walked into a carlcare office armed with everything I could find about my phone so I wouldn't falter in any terms and conditions. After struggling to find the hidden office, I saw a crowd of customers cramped up in a tiny room waiting for their turn. Standing for about one hour after hours of searching for this office was far from what I bargained for. I was patient though. I gave them my phone and I was told to come back in two weeks time. Two weeks came and passed and I even gave them a couple of days more to avoid excuses. The excuses are exactly what I got. I was told to return the next week coz my fone was sent to Lagos blah blah blah. I still obliged. Till date I haven't collected my phone (2months) because my phone hasn't thought it wise to return from it's Lagos trip. I checked it, the amount I have wasted embarking on this fruitless weekly voyage added to the original price of my techno would get me a clean, fairly used s3. My brother has a similar experience, after I convinced him to get on the techno platform he got the phantom a+. After less than two weeks the phone started acting up. Restarting and sometimes going completely off on it's own. Now I take the slack for it because I was the one who convinced him to get the phone.
This piece is coming from my HTC phone which I got for far less (fairly used) and gives me way more than my thecno. Here's my advice, if you want to get an android phone, don't go for a cheap China phone, you'll still pay the original cost of a good one way or the other and still end up with your crap. Wise up, save a little more and save yourself from disappointments!

zizky: Yes. Tecno released their first android in 2012. Starting with T1 then N3...
@OP. Sorry but u just had bad luck in purchasing a faulty device. I av been using Tecno products since 2007, and I can still show u 80% of phones I used, still working! Now using an M5 (my 4th android from Techno) without complaints.

4peace:
Thank you
I'm about to type that cos of misinformation above.

Some peeps still think n3 is their first android phone.

aladenimi: i have made a vow never in my life would i use any china product made for Africa and middle east because it's substandard exept their product made for western world

slimjoe_25: I'm sure u're only making a false acquisition. Guess u've been paid by some marketers. If u want to blame d carl care, Its nothing to do with d phone. The person u meet may not be a reliable person. All product has its problem, u were just unlucky. Techno is one of d best phones arround. I've been using the product long b4 d Android version came to d country. Believed me. I still av d one I bought in 2008 working well and d battery still functioning normal till this moment.

Nocojp:
my dear that's bad luck for you people, for me Tecno is the best android for now. I started using tecno android phone since 2012 without any faults, so if tecno phone didn't favour ur family you people can gently go for other products without talking rubbish
