The next one na Phantom Ghost. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

But seriously, I hate Techno like mad! And funny as it is, I would use a 'Nokia torch-light phone' over any Tehno phone. Just me though.

Seems we are in the same club.

I observed that they both use same ringtone. Note that I use HTC One M9
Proffdada:
because they have same carlcare doesn't mean they're the same, Infinix formerly Sagem is own by French but the phones are made in China. Tecno however is Chinese owned

Premium device running on MTK chip?
People behind Tecno shouldn't stretch their luck too far.
They've created a niche for themselves in the mid-range smartphone market.

Majority of Nigerians with 70k Budget for phone wouldn't spend it on Tecno!
Premium my left ball grin

What makes you think their main market is Nigeria? They have great presence all over Africa and have a good churn of the Chinese market as well.

I know at least 5 people in the UK who uses techno which means they are probably everywhere.

You advise them to be stagnat?

Tecno has zero Market in China and Nigeria is their biggest market. I doubt if they exist outside a couple of African countries. The guys using it in the UK must have shipped it from Naija.

I don't advise them to be stagnant, but they should be smart enough to know that dabbling into the high-end smartphone market is a dumb move, the amount of money Samsung, HTC or Sony spend in Research and Development in a year is probably more than what Tecno as a company is worth, they can't compete with these big brands. Reading this thread alone, you will find out that most people will never spend 70k on Tecno phones, that's the bitter truth.

I must say, that Tecno phones have really improved in the past couple of years. I handled the phantom Z last year and was honestly impressed. And 70k isn't high end, its more like midrange. I will not be biased about brands. Nigerians just buy phones to show off, which is quite absurd

Actually, they should be able to compete but that should be on a gradual basis. What they should work on first is to improve their specs. This days what most OEMs do is copy and paste with minimal adjustment. It's not all of them that invest heavily in R&grin. Tecno is associated with inferior products. Most big brands started out this way but they changed public perception of their brand by improving their product significantly with each release. How do you expect people to like your brand when there is no commitment to OTA updates? My Zenfone 2 has been updated more than 4 times within the last two months.

The best of phones being carried around by most people were all made in China.

China gives you what you want be it quality or fake. In this case they have produced a high quality phone; it is left for anyone to buy or reject the quality. But one thing I know is, if Tecno sells a phone for 70k the same phone and components if it has SAMSUNG label on top it will go for twice the price...

For those who have a mind of their own and are particular about quality, buying the tecno will be no a problem.
Re: Tecno Is Going Premium And It Is Frightening. Here's Why by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:39pm On Sep 17, 2015
Tecno and Infinix are imported and marketed by the same company, that company is also responsible for facilitating the carlcare support

Infinix first products for testing the market was the Alpha series.


That does not equate to their being the same company's products. Please be guided and stop spreading falsehood.

Excellent observation you made there. But If they are serious in competing with the big players, why haven't they started offering something as basic as OTA?

Believe me, the market is way too saturated already for them to make any mark in the high-end smartphone market. Imagine using 2013 MTK processor in a 2015 flagship phone with the phone itself offering zero innovation. Who will spend 70k on such?
