Thanks to Tecno, we might never have had cheap smartphones in Nigeria but Infinix is ready to challenge Tecno's market monopoly big time. Infinix Hot is even on the way after a grand release for Infinix Zero. Tecno is also doing great at making their Phantoms look better.

Which brand do you prefer?

Tecno rapes Infinix Iron: there's no need to create such a thread. Scrutinise the Infinix zero thread...

I think something more interesting is in. Someone said Infinix is owned by Tecno, how true is that?

OP please send me credit

Infinix is france product whli tecno is a Chinese product

I just confirmed that the Infinix brand is owned by Ex Sagem Wireless + Tecno + Calcare Limited

In my opinion, I prefer high end techno phones to high end infinix phones, techno has parts that can be replaced anywhere but infinix parts is as scarce as snow in the Sahara. Techno gets hot as infinix phones, they are not far from each other, but techno has more foolish releases and unfortunately infinix is trailing behind .

I guess Infinix also has the Carlcare Warranty-ish that Tecno too enjoys.. plus after sometime, Infinix's parts shouldn't be scarce like that again

Infinix Vs. Tecno - The Nigerian Smartphone War
Some years ago till 2011, smartphones in Nigeria are only for the rich. We have the likes of brands like Samsung (Android), HTC (Windows Phone), and iPhone (iOS) making waves in the Nigerian smartphone world. I tell you, these brands are really expensive and only the rich can afford to use a smartphone in our society.

Early 2012, Tecno unveiled their first smartphone in Nigeria, T1 embedded with Android 2.3.5 Operating System. It was a new dawn for Nigerians but some like me doubted the authenticity of Tecno phones at first. The conventional Tecno-branded phones we have been having in Nigeria before they unveiled the Android were very cheap small phones that are practically unreliable then.

However, Tecno's smartphones unveiling is like a new dawn for Nigeria that no one expected before it happened. I could remember, even the least expected people bought Android smartphones in the era of Tecno. Tecno enjoyed monopoly and enormous market surge in their first months because they were the only one providing cheap smartphones in Nigeria.

However, brands like Infinix also joined the league as time goes on and we now have Innjoo penetrating with the favour of Jumia partnership. Infinix came just like some other brands then but it seems it has come to stay. They have come to challenge Tecno's monopoly in Nigeria's smartphone market.

Even though Tecno came out of the shadows of cheap smartphones to produce classy and expensive Phantoms, Infinix is not resting to. Infinix's latest release, Infinix Zero, got so much awareness for weeks including Infinix ambassadors, sponsored blog posts, various ads and even partnership with Konga. Infinix Zero's release got enormous pre-orders and orders that made the Infinix brand an household name in Nigeria.

Infinix is not yet done with their packages with the Infinix Hot's awareness coming on heels after the release of Infinix Zero.

The war of brands is getting hotter in the Nigerian smartphone market, stay tuned as more brands like Innjoo might join.

However, it is important that you note that Tecno also has a stake in the Infinix brand. So, they are kind of interrelated.
