Yeah, I wasn't a tecno fan myself but they are doing great, I have to admit

You haven't been a fan ke? I've been a fan since the beginning of the Phantom Era. Die hard fan.

JanethEze:
You would buy a cheap phone for your wife but buy expensive phone for yourself. Tufiakwagi 19k phone for your wife?? Tsuaa Mtchew

What broke niggas do. They buy cheap sh!t for their wifes. And he's proud to come and open his mouth and say it here. He should cover his eyes.

Shinchika:
Overall camon performance is enough reason to make me buy this Phantom 5 though. It's not like I want to use it till 2020 like some people. It wasn't designed for everyone also. But the Camon's general performance along side that of the Boom J is convincing enough that my money wouldn't in anyway go to waste with the Phantom 5.

On a scale of 1 - 10, I rate the Camon a 7. I can't imagine what the Phantom's rating would be.

Babanhajiya:
If I have a 70k to spend on phone I would buy UMI Iron or Ulefone Be touch 2(same specs with Phantom 5) 43k or 47k respectively, I would buy for my wife infinix hot2 19k, I still have like 3k change which I would use to subscribe for a monthly data plan.

Haba! In the bid to save money. You can't even raise your wife's class to about 30k? Smh. At least, a good camera phone for selfies, she would like. You no even think am. Common Camon C8 you no fit use gift am. Na wa you o

KunAviero:
Windows has always been my life but this Tecno Camon C8 is simply amazing. I'm seriously tempted to head that way.

I wish I could handle the Phantom, but I'll work with the Camon I have for now too. I've headed that way a long time. :p

I am sure you are paid by Tecno to the hatched job them, you are all over phone section trying to promote an over priced phone. Is there any harm in the guy's choices of UMI Iron for himself and Infinix hot2 for his wife? Must he buy a Tecno phone? SMH

I tire for the guy oo he and that janetheze, they are obviously Tecno agents here. We are not saying Phantom 5 is bad or something but honestly it shouldn't be more than 50k because alternatively one can get a similar phone with less than 50k.

egift:
I will rather go for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 @ N45k - It is better deal.

And where will u take it to when it gets damaged?

Cerebrum:


Really? 4GB ram? Waste. LOOL. Rubbish waste. You no take am do Sallah? Yeye. Is the Zenfone even in Nigeria yet? My Camon received updates today. Affordable stuff.

I don't understand you... I knew it isn't yet selling in Nigeria.

Seculent:

I don't understand you... I knew it isn't yet selling in Nigeria.

And you believed Dotng that said "My Zenfone". That was an obvious lie though. All he's speaking is from Google. It's funny to see people debunk practical experience for theories.

It's unfortunate if you can't read simple English to see my words as a suggestion and not a compulsory statement. It's only unfortunate. And how do you know Tecno pays people if you aren't paid yourself to be against Tecno. A fan can't come out and boast about the device he uses again? Cold world. But an iPhone and Samsung user can come and suggest products to you without you raising any suspicion. Shior! Your point is baseless.

Run along.

Well... Y'all can say whatever. If y'all can't see, good for you. I can't afford a 70k phone. But unlike y'all, I wouldn't condemn the price or the brand for not meeting my expectations at price level. I would have to sell two of my current phone to buy that. My pocket no reach am. It is obviously not for me. If person buy am for me, good. If not, life continues.

Everybody just always has something to say. Always. Point or pointless.

Where does he even want to buy the Xiaomi Redmi? Yeye! Phone wey never enter naija. Awon premarketers.

Haha! Let's hope.

Mf1gt3r:

Nokia still retains the name Nokia, but Lumia they sold off to Microsoft. Hence Nokia relinquished all rights to use the Lumia name. So Nokia is all but smouldering. H
Let's hope they can get things going again.

Truth be told. That's the best we can do now. Hope it isn't shitty. But something tells me it shouldn't be shitty for that price. 70k? It really has to be something great to save Tecno a guaranteed space on the premium bench.

Mf1gt3r:

So Tecno has the quality to command such a price I've used numerous Tecnos including the A7. Lets just hope this won't be a shitty as the phantom z.

I didn't even expect the Phantom to come for 70k. I never thought about it. Indeed, it would take a solid mind to shell that much for the Phantom 5. Well, the Custom UI so far looks great. About it being an overkill, you seem to make a cool point. What would you have priced the phone if you were the manufacturer though?

Btw, does the Phantom 5 not make the first mtk device with a fingerprint security scanner?

threadstone:





lool... nice analogy. im not comparing mtk with iphone chipsets but it will take a solid mind to shell out that much for this device. Trust me i work everyday with devices like this and the high specs may not necessarily translate to great user experience. will they bring a new UI or stick to their custom third party launchers, and for the fact that this is a mtk device and lots of viable alternatives are less than that or slightly close to the range, Dont you think its an overkill??

It depends sha. Haha! If there's Chrisman bonus at work.

JanethEze:
correct. As a sharp guy lol

LOL. i am sure there will be

JanethEze:
I am sorry to say but all these people are just being silly with their comment. These are flagship devices, they are meant to be expensive. If you are that broke and can't afford such, there are other Tecno phones you can get for as low as 15k. The truth is that even if you rant and rant about how u can never use 70k to buy a Tecno (Because u dont have the money), people will still buy it. I saw how many people lined up to buy the Phantom 5 when it was released. Some are talking about samsung gini gini, what are the specs of that phone. People dont even understand technology and phones, they will just go and buy any phone they see and thats how they get cheated.

It is expensive, yeah, but its a flagship device

What are the specs of galaxy note 3. please tell us

u21day:
Tecno Phantom is a great looking device, i assume they pegged the price at 70k based on the amount of sales they are expecting. if sales were going to top 2 million devices they would surely peg it at 45k. bit they need to make a profit hence the astronomical pricing for a brand as tecno.

On the flip side, 70k would get you a Galaxy NOTE 3. and that device has better specs than the phantom.

The note 3 has mhl, and a plethora of sensors that the phantom 5 cant phantom.

the infra red on the note 3 can be used to control your electronic devices, tv, hifi, decoder etc.

Air gestures are unknown to the phantom 5

Corning Gorilla glass 3 on the Note3, no gorilla glass for the Phantom 5

the phantom surely ought not to have crossed the 45k - 50k threshold in my opinion, but its a great device if you arent considering the price

The introduction of the new infinix did shake uo the market a lil bit but I doubt if Tecno is loosing

wristbangle:


Honestly bro.

Nice nice nice

jaysay:


I think it is a superb phone. I was at the launch and I have played with the phone there and in the store, before getting one for myself. TECNO won't sell as much as they sell the cheaper TECNO phones, but they will sell a lot to people who love high range and want to stand out.

I have bought one for myself and my SMILE 4G/LTE SIM works in the phone. It is a premium phone at its best and I am surprised that TECNO was able to pull this off and this makes me happy.

The truth is that people will always complain no matter what. Its human nature

Thank you my brother,that is exactly the problem with most nigerians,because they given chicken change they won't talk the truth,instead for them to support others against corruption.
Nigerians don't want their overpriced scrap,so they should take it to another country and see if it will sell.
If dem don repackage their sh!t,na Nigeria straight.this is time of change we don't want it anymore.
Those marketing the rubbish should buy it for their whole family and stop the noise all over every thread!

I dont think that is the issue. What that lady was simply saying is that its not cool for a guy to buy expensive stuff for himself and buy cheap stuff for his wife. It has nothing to do with infinix or Tecno or any other brand.

If you ask me, 70k is not such a huge amount of money. I don't know why people are fussing about it. Do you want all Tecno phones to be 20k? There are different grades. One day infinix will come out with a 90k phone, will you guys start to talk like this too?

Now over to my concerns about the Tecno Phantom 5

1. Tecno P5 Processor is dated OctaCore processor (2013) vs Xiaomi RN2 Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 (2015)

2. Cost wise, Tecno #70,000 vs Xiaomi RN2 #45,000

3. Battery wise, based on experience and past product launches, Tecno phone batteries are not properly optimsed for thier devices, wacky, unreliable and false capacity.

4. No OTA updates. Unlike well established and credible alternatives like Xiaomi, Meizu, Infinix etc, all Tecno devices are a pain in the a55 when it comes to product support and updates.

5. Touchscreen and Software Issues. Techno is known for overhanging, unresponsive touchscreen after a month of purchase and many more software related problems.

6. Android OS transition. Moving from one Android version to another means a New Product Launch From Tecno. The next iteration of the Phantom series will be a new product running android v.6, Marshmallow.
