If its not an iPhone its not an iPhone.

this bullshit phones with high paper specs and wack real life performance. octa core deca-core shitnizz, theyre only as good as from far. 70k for tecno, i wld rather buy a brand new iPhone 5c as a second phone and flex on the remaining change. 5s sef na that range e dey now.

made the silly mistake of buying the hottest infinix hot2 as a side phone to accomodate my other sim and was so unimpressed. was wondering how jumia managed to deliver it in two days. currently im looking towards discarding it after just two days. it is useless and poor looking so i can imagine how tecno would look like.

let no one just vex me and mention any stupid mtk bullshit here.

Samsung, HTC, Huawei seen it all same shii, iPhone anyday

Seriously Your just a blind fanboy. Such talk and notion is so 2012. By the way, did you see Iphone as the heading here?

Y'alls just making someone tired. Too bad you are already biased because of previous tecno concerns. I'm proud of the Phantom release. It's a device I can gladly rush to the store and get. Very good alternative to high end Samsungs and iPhones. It's quite unfortunate you can't see this. You should use a Phantom, and see Tecno puts in plenty effort in producing them compared to other series.

spaceboy:

Guy how do you seriously come out and say that the mtk 6753 is better than the Helios 10(mtk6795)?Do u think if techno made a phone with the Helios 10 processor it won't be more expensive than this phantom 5.And now u talked of OTA updates wen u fully know that techno phones are stagnated wen it comes to OS updates.Even the innjoo that came out last year already has a lollipop 5.1 update available,even infinix too,what has techno done for its phantusers concerning users concerning OS updates?Continue blindly defending them

Funny set of people. Does processor alone call the shots when determining price of a smartphone? You think Samsung is expensive because of processor and ram alone? You people should sleep already, it's past your bed time.

Mf1gt3r:

Guy he is confused. Doesn't even know flagship processors from budget. Your Meizu M2 Note uses that processor, also a TON of N30 to N40k phones with 2gb to 3gb ram out there using MTK6753. Its even below Lenovo K3 Note's MT6752.

It's only logical. Nokia is Lumia/Microsoft and Microsoft isn't dead. You should check out the next Lumia smartphone to save the windows OS, sh!t isn't child's play.

Premium or no premium. Am a super fan of tecno, At first it was tecno F5, presently Tecno R7, thinking of getting a canon C8 but with the new phantom 5, beginning to 2 have a rethink. Think I like the phone

You don't like MTK and you're on an MTK thread. You're also mouth from a far. No performance. You think someone with an iPhone had time bashing MTK threads on Nairaland? Unless the fellow is a broke iOS user. Please, shift. See you comparing tecno with infinix, when did infinix start the game? Ehn! You're the one that used your money to play sure bet with infinix. As far as I'm concerned, Infinix is still learning how to play the game Tecno is already winning. You should keep your biased iOS opinions to your iOS threads biko!


at least infinix got their OTA game better than Tecno. So an iPhone user is not supposed to air his view on mtk threads. you have a big complex issues my friend. whats the diff in infinix and tecno (a six months validity device), which silly winning is Tecno winning. 19,500 is not such an issue for me thankfully, so u can keep your opinions to your game tickets.

Okay, let us think about it this way, you get an affordable android phone for 20K, use it for a year or two and you're angry? LOOL. Really? With the way android devices are evolving, who ever wants to keep using a 4yr old android device? Look at the Samsung S3 or S4, right now, it's like cheap plastic. When it was first released, stuff was calling for my bank. Now, I wouldn't look at it twice to buy. Why should I use a phone so long, Android to be specific. Plus, truth be told, I know Tecno products are more, way more, durable than infinix phones.

And affordable devices shouldn't be used for too long, especially under heavy usage. It's only unfair. If you get my point.

Ehen! You just talked now. Point is, MTK is affordable Qualcomm. Milo is affordable Titus. Dano is affordable Peak milk. Gingerbread is affordable Shortbread. The MTK is designed to bring android experience to low end users/market. Nobody is comparing the iPhone chipset with the MTK.

Honestly, you're just angry for some reason I can't see. Bring a more logical argument and we would have something to discuss about. This your reply is apparently tainted with no joy. Very funny opinion. Nice airing it tho.

Overall camon performance is enough reason to make me buy this Phantom 5 though. It's not like I want to use it till 2020 like some people. It wasn't designed for everyone also. But the Camon's general performance along side that of the Boom J is convincing enough that my money wouldn't in anyway go to waste with the Phantom 5.

Nokia still retains the name Nokia, but Lumia they sold off to Microsoft. Hence Nokia relinquished all rights to use the Lumia name. So Nokia is all but smouldering. H
Let's hope they can get things going again.

So Tecno has the quality to command such a price I've used numerous Tecnos including the A7. Lets just hope this won't be a shitty as the phantom z.

If I have a 70k to spend on phone I would buy UMI Iron or Ulefone Be touch 2(same specs with Phantom 5) 43k or 47k respectively, I would buy for my wife infinix hot2 19k, I still have like 3k change which I would use to subscribe for a monthly data plan.

very nice idea! Two phones with 3gb ram and 2gb ram respectively for less than 70k.

lool... nice analogy. im not comparing mtk with iphone chipsets but it will take a solid mind to shell out that much for this device. Trust me i work everyday with devices like this and the high specs may not necessarily translate to great user experience. will they bring a new UI or stick to their custom third party launchers, and for the fact that this is a mtk device and lots of viable alternatives are less than that or slightly close to the range, Dont you think its an overkill??
Re: Tecno Is Going Premium And It Is Frightening. Here's Why by JanethEze(f): 5:57pm On Sep 24, 2015
I am sorry to say but all these people are just being silly with their comment. These are flagship devices, they are meant to be expensive. If you are that broke and can't afford such, there are other Tecno phones you can get for as low as 15k. The truth is that even if you rant and rant about how u can never use 70k to buy a Tecno (Because u dont have the money), people will still buy it. I saw how many people lined up to buy the Phantom 5 when it was released. Some are talking about samsung gini gini, what are the specs of that phone. People dont even understand technology and phones, they will just go and buy any phone they see and thats how they get cheated.
Re: Tecno Is Going Premium And It Is Frightening. Here's Why by JanethEze(f): 6:00pm On Sep 24, 2015

Correction: The phantom series were not shitty. This Phantom 5 is even better than the former Phantoms. You didn't go for the Phantom 5 launch so you wouldn't know. Pele

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.

Please how much is your zenfone 2? I Googled it and I saw 4GRam, I was like... shocked
