Since Tecno mobile's release of the Tecno Phantom Z5,there's been alot of posts everywhere especially on nairaland,most being Negative,few being postive about the flagship droid

I figured,maybe we actually need to cut them some slack,maybe we're just over reacting because they gave us great products for a really nice price earlier,before you take out your "Tecno is mediocre" opinion on them try to imagine

How much would Samsung,Sony,Motorola,Htc or Nokia sell a device with 3GB of Ram,an amazing display,fingerprint sensor and Premium handheld?

Ask yourself,have i used the Tecno phantom 5?

People keep comparing other smartphones that are'nt available yet in the African market with the TPhantom5,i checked up one Xperia L with low end specs today,sold out for almost $300+

One plus two sells great outside Nigeria with similar specs as the TPhantom5 and people are loving it as it goes for just $300 or so.

The only smartphone i know right now that stands the TPhantom5 is the Asus Zenphone 2 (4gb ram,intel atom) also sold for about $300 and the one plus 2

Tecno did not sell.a smartphone this time,Although they overpriced it for the Average Nigerian,tecno never mentioned they produced phones for the masses or people who cant afford it,if you've got 70K planned for a smartphone...

Would you buy other phones you couldn't afford earlier ,or appreciate a company that gave near perfect devices and an a well distributed Android experience in Africa for a fair price?

Now its happening,tecno added just 3 features(4g,fingerprint,compass) to dis phone nd started selling it 4 70k+, by the time dey start using SNAPDRAGON PROCESSOR nd not dat useless mtk,super amoled display,retina display,good camera nd flash,good gpu,therm,barometer,wireless charging,heart beat rate monitor,water and dust resistance/proof with other great specs not mentioned.I wonder how much they are going to be selling it and by den people will know Samsung,HTC,iphone are not that greedy but they know the value of what they are producing.I like tecno phones cuz they are trying but I cant compare they to dos manufacturers.cuz I will rather pick a s4 Dan 2 pick dis phone

I don't get some folks here. How can u be happy n actually defend tecno for selling this phone costly? The question u should ask ur self is this "does it really worth 70k?" The answer is no! This phone lacks the major characteristics of a premium device, no gorilla glass protection or shattered proof protection, no software n OS update, imagine the phantom z of last year not receiving a single software update no to talk of an OS update n it sold for close to 60k. This r things that make a phone premium n the TP5 currently lacks that. It's not about not having the money to get the device it's all about the device giving u value for money. Not everybody likes changing phones every year so if tecno wants to go premium, they should produce a premium device!

what can snapdrgon do that mtk cant do? generate heat
my mtk device does not get unusually hot
its so cool sometimes am surprised

Well saw it, held it and played with it a little at slot (shoprite) mile 2 today, the phone is well built, the camera is awesome and the ui is fast too, it was also very light in the hand. Having seen it, held it and operated it for about 2minutes, 70k is way to high for this device in ma opinion...

I dnt knw why you people are criticising mtk chip, what is so special about snapdragon chip? With Snapdragon Chip, if your device ram is 2gb about 1.2gb will be occupied by the device without installing any app eg galaxy s4 I9500. I've used samsung galaxy S2, S3 and S4 but i like samsung phones bkos of their camera. Mtk device with 1gb ram is better than Snapdragon device with 2gb ram #take it or leave it#

For 3yrs snapdrgon had only one chip that had heating issues(810)

Recent ones dont same applies with mtk

I am not against a chip(i nvr have)

Alotta ppl rate mtk as crap cus small oem's use thier products little do dey know that dey generate more awareness/income dan snappy or anyother

As a matter of fact even d gpu on this device everyone is castrating is beta than andreno 330 x2 im talking note 3 lg g2 xperia z1,one plus one,xiaomi mi note and co

OP I guess your techno phone has not had any issue before.

I got a techno phone same day with my colleague, in 2months mine crashed

I took it to Carl care and guess what, they couldn't repair or replace it!

To make matters worse, my colleague s phone should also, and their customer care was so annoying that he angrily left the phone their

I add to go back to my Lenovo, I bought as far back as 2012 ( I've never had an issue with the phone, I just felt like upgrading)

I've used a Meizu and recently a Xiaomi afterwards

Guess what, I've NEVER had any issue

Until they resolve repair issues, the presence of their service center in Nigeria is useless!

Fyi: Xiaomi is planning to enter the African market by 2016

So my dear, I love competition, Techno should better brace up, or they would be pushed further down.

Had any one noticed, that people now prefer Infinix?
