According to recent information received at Smatt Geeks Media team,its quite clear that the successor to the Tecno L8; Tecno L9 will be launching soon.

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

FHD should do it in the screen resolution. This is 2017. Anyways, i anticipate this

Abdstrakt:

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?

Even 2GB RAM is going obsolete

Mikeshiangala:



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.

excanny:


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

I don'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.

Both of you are right one way or the other. But let us not forget the fact that it is the use of this chipset that make their phones affordable. Now that they have launched global, maybe they need to try the acceptability of snapdragon on their device and then leverage on that. Not forgetting that dollar is high o and na we go still hammer them if they come with something way up in price.

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

U forgot 4G Lte

jesse8048:


U forgot 4G Lte

I left it out intentionally cos I felt 4G LTE should be standard now. This is 2017, any OEM that omits 4G LTE shouldn't be taken seriously.

This is so not 2017. I will prefer a 3GB RAM, Octa-Core and FHD screen instead, not forgetting Android 7 OS

this is a low end device focused on battery optimisation, you can carry your preferances onto the phantom series, otherwise don't expect those specs you listed from tecno unless its a phantom, camon or boom series.

I beg to differ.
Tech moves really fast. As time goes by the barest minimum in terms of specs are bumped up. This is 2017, regardless of target market FHD should be adopted for phones above 50k

well that's if the pricing gets that high. But i expect L series to be cheaper.

yeah right

shiftback:
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.

that is just the truth

for sure

3G or 4G anything is fine bye me

datyorubaboy:
Yes, expecting a 4G capability and fingerprint

that is just it

MizMyColi:


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?

Bro, the Lseries is not low end o!
