All na marketing strategy. It's fucking expensive. That money will get you elephone p8000 with 3gb and 4g network, 4200mah, 16gb rom, corning gorilla glass 3

Elephone p8000? It amazes me, how they can squeeze those specs into a phone at that price. Well, off to Google to check it out.

So Is It Beta Dan Hot Note X551, Just A Ques Am Asking

MaryWest:


Yes I agree with you that it is free and Open.
I also agree with you that Tecno did not use the latest which is 6.0.

Now since you are asserting the freeness and openness of marshmallow, can you please point me to a 6.0 devicein the market now, from a KNOWN BRAND that is below 60k?

That it's free does not mean that smartphone making companies won't factor in some cost when delivering it to final consumers.



Yes, it is a flagship phone because of the new user interface which has never been featured on any Tecno device. Not even their phantom 5. Understood?



Lmao.
You call it just a UI? Oya goan develop one ASAPLY na.
Whether it's just a UI or a microchip..
It takes days and months of resourcefulness/finance to come up with innovative products.

Are you aware of the serious upgrades in this J8 compared to J7?
The headset which was thoughtfully and slickly designed especially for those who like to keep fit with music?


And for your information, there is no company that does not factor in the cost it used to advertise a product when selling to the final consumer.
You get?

Iphone does it, Samsung does it, TECNO should not be any different. Consumers always pay for advertising, because at that point it's no longer just the product you're paying for, but also, the brand personality as well. Your assertion about me shouting advertising upandan shows you have limited knowledge of marketing/sales management.

I have taken my time here today because I've seen the hate most of you launch at Tecno products and it is very appalling.

Having studied brand management, and even doing a project currently, I know how bad it feels to see people talk down your best efforts.

No offence meant, but just shut it already bruv.
You gat nothing on J8

Well, my 2015 Motorola G3, as well as my cousin's 2014 Motorola G2 have both received 6.0 updates - in January and March respectively - heck, 6.0.1 is already rolling out for the G3. The G3 goes for thirty thousand and something Naira... and has all the specs the J8 has, with waterproofing to boot.

U gotta hand it to the motion photos of the J8 though....that's one fine camera there.

That niggie nnananso or something no gree tell is the kind fone wey he dey use o

VickyRotex:

So you men you have never seen the phone picture its all over the internet na,especially their Tecno forum

augster:
Please don't disgrace yourself.. Infinix is a known brand FYI.
Ok how about this? Xiaomi Mi 3 Marshmallow beta version is out! 2013 phone.. See your life.. And please stop arguing blindly

Shut up there joor!
I said known brands and you are naming brands that I've never seen put up a street light ad not talk of a billboard, tv commercial or radio jingle.

J8 is a 5.1 lolipop phone with its own unique interface, a unique and sleekly designed headset.

Those who don't mind about updates (which can come anytime soon) are buying and enjoying their thing.

Haters and Detractors can keep at it.

don't try with elephone phones, many of them has different problems http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mobile=1

I don't see how a honest review of a user should become something we all should throw words about.

If you have a functioning phone you wish to hype, please come on board, it's an open field.
Instead of using your bad belle to spoil another man business. Do something.

Nsonaso:

Op you see your life? Always say the truth and shame the devil
Your data is off, WiFi is off and power saving is ON. And your battery is at 59% and you only have 6hrs 45m power left and you put up all those hip on the battery
Check mine and see the real deal. Indeed EMPTY Cartoon make the loudest noise keep it up.
Edited[b]
Yes people after I posted the battery graph of the phone am using, a lot of people started asking me what's the make.

Now lot of people believe that my phone has a good battery. But the truth is that I still believe that there are other phones out there that has better battery than mine, I can't tell you here that mine battery is the best lasting battery in its category like what the OP said. That is what is called being transparency and being honest.

I gave TECNO the credit they deserve, TECNO BOOM J8 is beautiful, no doubt about that and even more beautiful than the so called Phantom 5 but it doesn't what the price tag.

About the phone am using, there's Igbo proverb that says "Ahia Di Ma Na Ele Onwe Ya" English meaning "Good product sell itself"
It's only when a company manufacture a failed product and hike the price that they will hire tout to be chasing people around with cutlass and guns to buy the product.

If you buy phone from reputable brand, there will always be certain with their specifications, they don't need to hire touts to flood internet forum and lay false information about their products.

In summary:
Am always transparent and if I should tell you the model of my phone, it will look as if am trying to market the companies product am using thereby painting TECNO black.
Don't let touts sweet mouth you and deceive you with their false information about their products.
Thanks.[/b]

Xiaomi what are you using? I like the interface.

Na wa you o.... just throwing insults like basketball.... Calm your tits down bae, we talking tech, you talking advert and marketing. The business section is where you ought to be, your "expertise" would surely be appreciated there, not here, like we even care, you may as well stare, well, ok, we don hear.... ✌

What is pricey about 41k?

BluePearls:
Too pricey. Kindly post pictures of your battery graph/usage so we can affirm with you and maybe testify also that your battery is indeed good

Nice review @OP, but next time when you want to review a product, make sure the pictures of the products accompany it. Thanks

What type of phone are you using and what is the price?

What an interesting thread..

Fell in love with the battle of brands.
Gionee is good, Elephone is great, We love Tecno.

tobimillar:
Why waste money on a useless techno phone when u can buy infinix of even gionee or better still huwai? Techno is so out of the league and their online marketers here on nairaland are not helping them...

Seriously, this idea of using internet marketers has been counter productive.

I just have this increasing dislike for Tecno phones with each single hype thread I see.

Imagine the clueless agents mentioning Tecno HIOS in the same breath as Marshmallow.

They even boasted of having a faster camera than an iPhone 6s featuring Apple's A9 beastly processors.

Smh...

I wait anxiously for a Tecno vs Samsung S7 thread.

Can you list those phones let me see the alternatives and compare, thanks.

BluePearls:


Which features? There are quite a number of phones out there with better Specs and features, maybe same price or slightly higher

To be honest bruh, aint nothing wrong in the use of internet marketers to promote a product but the way these guys are doing it, it make me wonder if they are acting a script or something. Even if they are acting a script sef, cant they do some little research so as not to be caught pants down? C8 don sha for their eyes. now, na J8 de hot. Soon we go see thread about a J8 user who got his/her headphones into a pit latrine just because he/she was using it while taking a dump at Ladipo ..... Its really appalling, i must confess.
Me sef de wait that Tecno vs S7 thread o.... e go funny die

I believe everyone has the right to express themselves here on NL. No one is forced to read threads nah.

So you men you have never seen the phone picture its all over the internet na,especially their Tecno forum

Yes I havent seen it before. But that's not a problem, cos I could get what it looks like on Google.

The issue here is when you're writing about something like this, you're supposed to show an image of that particular thing to prove a point. The analysis he gave without the image of the phone makes it kind of pointless. #IMO.

Try and pass computer village carelessly. Lol.

Oladipupo22:
Finally, some one says the truth about this phone

Me I cannot let someone go and pick pocket me ooo

lalsticlala, obinoscopy, ishilove, seun

More people need to know about this

I dedicate my FTC to my parents who died in an auto crash 25 years ago

Hey dummy, i can see why you‘re so stagnant! So a brand has to be on billboards or tv commercials before it is recognised.. You think through your anus... FYI Xiaomi is the biggest brand in China.. And so why would i waste #41k on something that would gimme headaches and no updates? I‘d rather add some money and get myself another device... Fvck whatever you say... Tecno is a plague
