Honestly I wouldn't have bothered creating this topic because I realise that the hard times are responsible for what our unemployed graduates have been goaded into doing to earn a living, but there are interested phone buyers out there who need proper advice when searching for a device, money is hard to come by and harder to spend these days, one cannot afford to buy a phone and regret doing so later because of arising problems, hence you are the reason for this. It's come to my notice as well as other observant nairalanders that currently, there are Tecno marketers on nairaland, who, naturally, have been given the task of advertising and encouraging prospective buyers to purchase tecno devices. (Have you noticed the surge in Tecno phone related topics lately?). Now there's nothing outwardly wrong with that, it's all business and business needs customers, right? But this is where the need for concern arises. It's indisputable that most Android devices come with bugs, both hardware and software problems, Tecno is certainly no exception( just go through the Camon C8 thread if in doubt). Hence one really has to do proper research you might say before buying a phone. The problem is, due to the activities of these marketers who create multiple nairaland accounts, open threads related to tecno devices and make fawning, commending comments about tecno phones, one can easily be deceived into thinking the comments are approvals from real users of that brand or persons genuinely interested in buying the phone. DON'T BE DECEIVED. Don't rush naively to buy any phone unless it was recommended to you by a trustworthy nairalander experienced with Android phones or other users of that device have given positive reviews about it. You can tell this by carefully reading through the comments on a particular thread and observing if user experiences are related (have they've charged the phone more than once, tested the battery's duration, operated it for two days or longer, tested camera quality, tested the phone's network reception strength by downloading, installed apps and launched them, installed and played hd games etc). Be wary if all you see are comments about how "impressive the specs are" or how "tecno is really trail blazing the phone market" or "how awesome the device must be" as most times these comments are made by tecno marketers using different profile names. The aim for this topic is not to discredit the phone brand Tecno or paint their devices as malfunctioning garbage, the warnings given above also apply to threads of any brand. I'm honestly concerned that interested phone buyers make the right choice and enjoy satisfactorily the devices they've acquired without any bugs or glitches which can be maddening to deal with. No buyer deserves to say "make I manage am like that" after spending their hard earned cash to buy a faulty worthless bug ridden contraption disguised as a phone. 12 Likes 1 Share |

OP edit your posts, add one more line spacing between each paragraphs to make it easier to read. As for the topic, I agree wholeheartedly, there are novices looking to buy devices on Nairaland and they're going to pick devices based on misinformation because of these characters. 2 Likes |

I'm glad to see we still have vigilant Nigerians out there. If Nigeria was not so third world we won't even have all these one star rated phone companies selling their phones here. That's why they can't even dare market their brands in advanced countries like the US cuz no one would buy their substandard phones. |

True talk bro,many phone cos are guilty of this but Tecno is WORST at it,I've even noticed how even on reputable mobile sites like MobilityArena how some of these Tecno Shiis swamp on some articles to extol the virtues of their products to high heavens..#SMH |

I fell prey to one of their "marketing scheme" with the tecno l8. Their so called agent hyped this 1gb phone saying the new HIOS integrated into the phone will make it better than most 2gb phone which i ended up believing now i am left with a power bank. And it takes about 5-6hrs to charge using the follow come charger. |

SirLewis: Already visit the link/thread and I see nothing special there. All phones including Samsung and the so call iPhone develop issues but if you seek the necessary help, you gonna fix the issues without splitting much sweat. |

I think they are marketing their products aggressively... I dont blame em though.. I use Tecno products as well and inasmuch as they aint the best in the Market, they are fairly good in terms of what I need from em... Not erybody can afford a Samsung S4 or an Iphone 4(Note that I aint talking 'bout S5 or Iphone 5).... These phones are expensive and a lotta Nigerians belong to the Chinese brand class... They need phones with good batteries(3000 - 6000MaH), They need phones with good Camera(Gionee M5 mini, Camon C8, Boom J8, Infinix hot 2 etc), They need gaming phones and they need em to be affordable... |

So where do we go to get honest reviews when we want to buy a phone? Am seriosly considering getting a new phone,a change frm my Grand Duos GT19082 jare,d fone don old. But I can't afford these high ended phones. Considering btw Gionee and Tecno Camon Serios(the affordable one o) I jus don't like a hanging phone and smtn wit beta camera so I can snap my bead jobs well so it can show. Saving up tho. A friend toldme abt M5 mini,dunno the diff btw it and the M5 |

csc2:The point isn't if tecno is the only brand with phones that develops issues, it's that due to how some unscrupulous persons here market these phones by over hyping them, one will be fooled into buying it without knowing that it has inherent defects. Camon C8 has always had multitasking issues. How can you use a phone that supposedly has a 1 gig ram and can't run more than 2 apps at a time? And then came the marshmallow update which should've fixed it all but just made things worse. Now some persons can't even make proper use of it anymore because it turns off on it's own. The brands you mentioned, Samsung and iPhone give their customers the opportunity of exchanging their brand new devices for a new one and are swift in releasing updates to fix any bugs their users encounter. Tecno doesn't. Rather than offer any assistance these useless marketers are deceiving more people to buy these same defective phones. THAT'S VERY WRONG. |

Djangocode:Again, you seem to have missed my point. I'm not recommending that people only purchase the higher brands but rather they should be very careful when looking out for the lower brands. Funny enough, I use a tecno j7 and I've not encountered any problems to complain about. Tecno did a good job with it. I know how much questions I had to ask before I bought it. Unfortunately it's not so for all their devices. If it did have issues though and I knew about this, it would be almost criminal on my part for me to come online and praise the phone to the high heavens. That's the bone of contention here. |
