How do you guys cope with Windows phone, that phone is something else not smartphone.
Tho I love the display, music player, and camera but it lacks app developers, and again whenever it has issues getting it done is harder than normal android phone

Talking about innovation...these brands keep bringing out and upgrading....Samsung, Tecno, Infinix....etc..

But these new innovation suppose to be cost friendly also ...and I believe the only brand that is cost friendly is Tecno.

The phantom 9 is fabulous and I wish to get that phone for myself.

Right now I use Infinix but will swap for the Phantom

Don't mention Samsung with the likes of tecno and infinix

Did you just learn how to use the internet?

This thread is for Tecno marketers. Una well done oh! grin

As for the topic at hand, I think the producers decide on the shelf life of a gadget. Each time a newer phone is produced with better features, the former becomes obsolete.

My dear we know them

Very hungry marketersthey create threads cms coat their mod friends to move it to front page and then start nonsense discussions about their useless garbage phones

Seun please these are the sort of threads I spoke about

They are pointless and waste space on front page

Please discouraged mods who collect money from tecno and infinix to post rubbish like this

A new phone is produced to meet the increasing demand and technological advancement. While the newer becomes desired, the former still stays around long enough for everyone to successfully migrate.

Tecno and infinix don't produce anything

They copy features of other phones and use the cheapest parts in the world to make their rubbish garbage phones

Please don't disturb front page with posts like this again

The earlier you set your mind far away from MTK devices, the better for you.
I've used Tecno, infinix and Itel phones and I never realized this until I started using Samsung.

CONCLUSION
The average smartphone shelf life is 3 years after which it starts deteriorating.

Miss please close this thread

It's nauseating when a thread like this reads so obviously manipulated by fake accounts used to push a brands narative

This totally discredits other threads on front page and damages the credibility of this forum

Keep such threads in the backend

Techno Marketers thread

Since it's all about Techno, let me share my thoughts too

Tecno phones are for newbies and as for lifespan of the phones, it does not really matter because sooner than u know it, the screen shatters, the camera degrades, the memory gets clogged, and battery.... Don't go there.

The battery hot like fire grin

The life span of a phone depends on the usage and handling, someone can handle a phone and it will last longer whereas another person can handle a phone and it won't last long.

OP, Both Spark 4 and Camon 12 use LCD display and not LED. Don't mislead people.

The average shelf life of a smart phone is 2 years. Any manufacturer should be able to provide at least 2 years of security updates and at least 2 major software upgrades for any device. But TECNO has always disappointed in this regard. Camon 11 Pro is still stuck on 8.1 even though it has 6GB ram and 64gb storage.

Currently rocking my Xiaomi Mi8 (Snapdragon 845) running the official Android 10 and also my S9+ (Exynos 9820) and waiting jejely for my official Android 10 update from Samsung.

My Mi8 came with Android 8.1, I got official Android 9 and now 10 and I'll still get official Android 11 not to talk of the developers support which gives ability to run various custom ROMs. Same with the S9+

Buying TECNO and Infinix as a daily driver phone is very risky. I warn ya. Cheap processor that isn't secure, cheap hardware components, cheap screen, and to top it, very poor software support.

You're wrong though
A smartphone largely depends on how you use it be it Tecno, Samsung or iPhone. Have been using Camon 11 Pro for 13 months now and the phone is doing just fine.
