Tecno Mobile, Africa’s leading smartphone brand and maker of several celebrated flagships has once again emerged being recognized for her stellar innovations and user-friendly products.

The awards – Popular Phone Brand of The Year and Smartphone of The Year (CAMON CX) received at the Nigeria Tech Innovation and Telecoms Award will add to the list of awards and recognitions received by the brand this year. Speaking at the event, General Manager of Transsion, parent company of TECNO Mobile, Mr. Chidi Okonkwo stated “We commit our best resources to whatever we do and thus are always pleased when we get recognitions like these because they prove to us that indeed consumers see, use and appreciate our works.”

Back in August at the same venue – Oriental Hotel, Lagos, TECNO Mobile carted away the prestigious Pan African Phone Brand of The Year award ahead of popular smartphone brands and a few weeks later, the brand has added two more feathers to their well-decorated hats.

Speaking of the brand’s dominance and successes, Mr. Chidi Okonkwo added “TECNO Mobile is on a winning streak, not just in Nigeria but globally. Last year when we stepped into the international scene for the first time, several people questioned our tactics and critiqued our model but one year after, it has become even more evident that our ability to develop globally competitive products with deep local consumer insights is an essential ingredient in our dominance globally.

“Our successes in the Middle-East has not only bettered our books however, it has also made it possible for us to scale into new markets in Asia like India where we currently service smartphone consumers.”

Great people they say make great brands, little wonder Mr. Chidi Okonkwo claimed an award for his Outstanding Contribution and impact to the mobile technology space in Nigeria.

Notable personalities present at awards include Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), Engr. Ernest Ndukwe – former Executive Vice Chairman and CEO of NCC, amongst many others.

Other winners of the night include Telecoms Wholesale Company of the Year – MainOne, CSR Initiative of the Year – Airtel Touching Lives and Customer Experience Award – MTN amongst others. TECNO Mobile is fast displacing other smartphone brands in Africa and it is just a matter of time before they take their dominance global.

Transsion (Tecno) Would Push into Global Top 10 Smartphone Vendor List in 2017

by Linda Sui | Mar 08, 2017

According to the latest report from our Wireless Smartphone Strategies (WSS) services: Global Smartphone Shipments Forecast by Vendor by Region by Quarter: 2015 to 2018, global smartphone shipments will grew +7% and +6% in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Samsung and Chinese vendors, including Huawei, OPPO, vivo, Gionee, Transsion and Wiko etc, as well as Nokia (HMD) and Indian Reliance Jio will be among the main vendors driving growth through 2018, with their 4G LTE products portfolios across lower-tier and higher-tier segments.

We expect Transsion would push into global top 10 list in 2017, for the first time ever, mainly thanks to healthy demand of Tecno, Infinix and Itel branded smartphones across multiple countries in Africa Middle East and Asia.

Transsion has been growing quietly and robustly in Africa during recent years. It has successfully launched three localized brand- TECNO, Infinix, and Itel. It is now the second largest smartphone vendor in Africa Middle East region, following Samsung but well ahead of Huawei. Transsion’s triumph in Africa comes from its successful localization, appealing product portfolio and well-established distribution channel etc.

This report forecasts global smartphone shipments by region by quarter for 27 of the world's largest vendors from Q1 2015 to Q4 2018. The report is a valuable tool for component makers, software developers, operators and other stakeholders to support their planning activities.

Very nice. They deserve it especially the giveaways they've been organising

One thing we can't take away from Tecno brand is that they made Android smartphones cheap and available to the poor masses. I give them credits.

And wow they do have a world class marketing strategy and they've gained a fair market share.

Now xiaomi and leEco is taking over!

Meanwhile, Tecno can lie with their specs ehn how can you people say front and back camera is 13MP am still not fine when I take a selfie?
