the only issue i have with my mtk device is my k9 browser hanging and lagging sometimes
also my candy crush crashes sometimes though not often
how can you blame the chip for bricking your phone?
you customize your phone, give it what it cant handle, it gets bricked and you blame the chip?
seriously?
did you use it the way you bought it and it got bricked?
pls, your argument is DOA

I guess how you feel is understandable, but trust me, not everyone feels this way about Tecno

sats:

i cant put faith in tecno, nah
i will be disapointed
confirm
Re: Before You Critize The Phantom 5,read This Please by Shinchika: 4:26pm On Sep 25, 2015
Haha! Don't mind that guy. By the way, sats, is the hanging and lagging not as a result of the processor?

I agree with majority of commenters that the tecno phantom 5 is overpriced; I played with it at one of the shops in computer village.

While I will readily admit that it has great cameras and full HD screen (the 3GB RAM is no big deal, 2GB RAM is now pretty much standard on an android phone and the additional 1GB cannot cost more than an additional 3k), I have serious reservations about the processor. I don't understand why it's clocked at only 1.3GHz. If anybody has Antutu or other benchmark scores for it they should please share.

Tecno has to convince buyers that they are offering good value for money or infinix will continue increasing the ever increasing gap between them. Infinix hot notes are still flying off the shelves because of good value and now they've added the hot 2 which also promises fantastic value for money.

Tecno fans should correct me if I'm wrong but so far this year tecno has not released any phone that's been a major hit. Infinix has released at least 2 phones (or is it 4?) that were bona fide hits: the hot note pro and the hot 2.

I feel tecno should have priced the phantom 5 at no more than 57k which was the price at which the phantom z debuted on the market.

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?

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 I get it!
The witches in your village are now toying with your glory.
I'm I mad?
Check (ulefone be touch 2) with more great specs even with front fingerprint check how much it's sold for,not like this useless scrap you and your so called "TECNO" is calling premium phone,that is how people like you ended being duped.
You hear a lot of people saying "NO" that TECNO should go back and resolve their maths. And you still insist on defending what they believe is not right.
With 70k,you'll get a london used samsung s5 that will break this your phantom5 for around 40k,and use the remaining 30k for something else and that samsung can serve you 2 to 3 years,because you'll be getting new update of any new android version to come,if TECNO do phone this week and another OS version came out next week,you will need to buy another new TECNO next week to get the new OS.

Samsung phone of 2013 is what Tecno is still working on in 2015 quote me anywhere!
