This is great. Looks more like AB split testing in Digital Marketing. Transsion kinda know what works better for them, whilst also maintaining strong competition from the "flanks."

Tecno if I'm correct brought the dual sim to Nigeria. They had one time a 3 sim phone.

Their parent company Transision obviously done impeccable market research and have brought our phones to meet Nigerian and African tastes. Their phones will be pricier if they did pay for patents

You are wrong, many unnamed Chinese phones have supported dual sim even before Tecno got here.

How did Samsung manage to be at the top? Their devices, especially parts, are too pricy!
