Among all these Chinco, mediate, or whatever, what phone can you possibly recommend in the light of the fact that it has to meet reasonable performance (in your opinion) and still be pocket friendly?

As you have mentioned pocket-friendly, my brother go for a Mediatek device. Unless you want to inconvenient your budget and shoot for the big boys. Works that way too. A Qualcomm 'pocket-friendly' device may not be all that pocket friendly in the real sense of it. Well, unless it is a Lumia you are buying.

Talking of budget, I choose to consider the options available. But I am willing to spend up to 30/35k,and the device needs to be dual sim.

Ummm.... You can go for the InnJoo Fire Plus or Infinix Zero 2 in that regard.
Or if you don't mind, there's an LG G2 running Lollipop going for 35k

My lay - man's opinion on some issues raised in this thread.
https://www.nairaland.com/2562826/why-never-use-tecno-phones



That your brand of Tecno can't be upgraded OTA is not enough to say it is a scam. Samsung galaxy note 3 and galaxy S5 were the first and only two phones (not sure though) that came with USB 3.0. But the succeeding galaxy note 4 was launched with USB 2.0 -a downgrade. Will it be said that Samsung is a scam?


You dumped Tecno for Infinix?
You are still where you were. Are both of them not MTK devices? They are! They use mediatek processor with some others including:
Alcatel
Gionee
HTC
Huawei
Lenovo
Xiaomi ......etc.

So, when the Op, said he dumped Tecno, I expected to hear that he went for something higher, with a qualcomm snapdragon but I was disappointed to hear "infinix".Apart form the OTA update, can you tell other differences between the tecno and the infinix?

You updated you new infinix hot note from 4.4 to 5.1 and call it "value for money" that's your opinion cos
I wonder what that really means. I have compared my colleague's galaxy note 4 running lollipop and my note3 running kitkat and saw no reason to upgrade.

Lastly, I think Tecno is more expensive because it is the most popular among those MTK devices. As Your infinix is becoming popular, the price will also be increasing too.

You enjoyed the FLAGSHIP, ALMIGHTY(according to you) tecno phantom z, but when you discovered you can't upgrade OTA, you labelled it a "scam" bros that singular deficiency is not enough for the name calling.

My humble opinion.

Note: I dont use Tecno.

And Lumia can be complicated to use trust me
Mediatek processors are mostly used by these phone companies to help it remain affordable
A higher processor will mean higher prices
