The upcoming Tecno L9 and the L9 Plus will feature better specs and features compared to the Tecno L8.
Expect to see better design and software upgrade on the Tecno L9 and L9 Plus.
Tecno L-series smartphones are smartphones with long lasting battery capacity.

There will be two variants of this device
Tecno L9 and L9 Plus
Since the current Tecno L8 smartphone has two variants-the Tecno L8 and L8 Plus, the upcoming Tecno L-series is also expected to follow the same trend.



Specs and Expected Price;


Screen Size: 5.5 inch IPS screen


Resolution: 1280*720 pixel HDD


Processor: Quad-core


Memory: 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM


Camera: 5MP front and 13MP rear


PRICE: $160-$180

720p display in 2017? I don't think they're gonna make that mistake. FHD is the barest minimum now. Looking forward to it's release though.

Can They Just B merciful And Let It Come With 3GB RAM? ? ? ?

Abi o. 1GB RAM will die a natural death this year for sure.
Since it's the L series, what do you think the battery capacity should be this time around?

Let me guess what the L8 specs might be.

5.5inch
FHD
6000mah Battery
3GB/32GB RAM/ROM
Mediatek Helio X10 Octacore processor
8/13mp Front/Rear Camera
Fingerprint scanner
Price: N60k

Quad core ke?

No no no no no!!

Well, it all depends on the price.

I wish Tecno will leave those old MTK chipsets behind this 2017.

I wish!

Mtk for entry level and some midrange phones, Snapdragon for midrange/high-end phones.
This move would shut half their detractors up.

6050 mah is not too much to ask for na.

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with Mediatek chipsets, giant brands like Lenovo, Huawei are constantly using it. Mediatek is head to head with Qualcomm as we speak and analysts are predicting the X series overtaking Snapdragon in nearest future.

The only question is what OS？Nougat or Marshmallow.

I never said there was anything wrong with mediatek. Yea, Lenovo and Huawei dey use mediatek but not on their flagships. I'm just saying Tecno should mix it up.
Also, switching to Snapdragon for their flagships and other midrange devices would be more of a marketing move than anything.

Tecno focuses on Low to Mid range phones mostly and thats why they may not be dropping those MTK chipsets anytime soon.

Hmmm, the name good sha but the spec

Thanks to Xiaomi.

You are undirectly saying Snapdragon is superior, which I tend to disagree with.

Its been a royal rumble fight between these two and the safest conclusion to make is that both are head to head .

Of course snapdragon is superior...

both chipsets have their strengths and flaws and weighing all that snapdragon has always emerged the winner.

Not over Helio X30.

What?

we are talking of chipsets already powered in gadgets right now and not yet to be released.

Remember Snapdragon 835 is also coming out this july or something and thats when we'll talk of helio x30....
But for now.......helio x25 and below should be the basis of this arguement.

You just come？Helio X30 already unveiled since last September .

Idon't know people just have this wrong notion that anything used by Tecno must be crap , low range , even if they associated with the best in the world.

This gets me on a personal level, cos people have this kind of wrong stereotype about me too.

I personally love tecno phones....the first phone to feature helio x30 is not yet released.

Do you know why most flagships come with Qualcomms snapdragon?

Reason #1:

Other Chip-set manufacturers like MediaTek, Spreatrum and Broadcom. do not have the finesse in chip-sets to meet the experience of high-end customer.


Reason #2:

Its the phenomenon of sustainable competitive advantage. Big Brands don't want to work on Mediatek (which controls the market for most of Chinese originated smartphones,) because there are many vendors in Chinese ecosystem, who can quickly emulate the work of Big Brands on Mediatek.

Chinese vendors are experienced on Working on Mediatek Chip-sets, but are not experienced on Qualcomm chip-sets. So the capability of Chinese ecosystem is limited on Qualcomm. chip-sets., thus Work of Big Brands has lesser chances to be copied by Chinese vendors.


And as i said earlier...all this chips have strengths and flaws....but snapdragon have lesser flaws and perfom better in most aspects.

Mediatek chips are meant to power low to middle range phones and thats why this brand is so popular in africa where we prefer $150 phones rather than $700 phones....and i have used both snapdragon and mediatek and find mediatek lagging behind....but why do i still use it?
because thats what i can afford....and tecno is my favorite among this other chinese brands.

Well, @OP made a valid point y'know....
Tecno is known for producing low-midrange smartphones.

The more the specs, the more the money. You get?

Yes maami but if tecno l8 is quad core l9 should be octa core maami abi what do u think and it should have 4g and at least A fingerprint sensor or maami what is ur opinion

My dear, let us just wait and see how they will wow us. Then we will know how to praise or scold.

The battery will be about 6000 Mah ...
