Worwor: if this is true then this tecno f7 is overpriced, I swear! Cos, I have handled XPERIA S so I know what I'm saying. The camera quality outperform that of galaxy s4 and the browser support Adobe Flash. The screen is super clear. Also, the battery last even longer after upgrading the os to jelly bean and it runs smoothly. My roomate was using this phone.

I wasn't a fan of tecno but things have changed. people, don't judge book by it cover. within 5 months I have used different 3 types of tecno phones and I could feel the qualities and improvements. I can categorically tell people that there is no ESSENTIAL features that you would find in top class Samsung that is not present in f7. Samsung is just a brand name . Nigerians enjoys extortion that is why we failed to appreciate other cheap but quality products. I have seen this kind of mentality when buying products like peak milk, close up paste, st louis sugar etc but to my suprise their kingship are limited to nija only not developed countries. if not for other network providers mtn would have killed us in Nigeria.Tecno is no more poor brand as before. they have different offices in Nija now and all their products are attached with 13 months warranty. truly, f7 worth more than the price. they are here to break the monopoly of other phone companies as u can see they have started producing devices that is within tecno's range.

Seriously, lower cost?

Can you run your own business at a loss?

Look at the specifications of this phone. The components they used to build the phone is not made from air, it costs them money(CPU, camera, HD screen, GPU etc etc) plus the fact that they in business to make profit.

The price is okay for the phone's specs. Asking for lower price is asking too much.

klens: see what you will do first of all download 7zipper from play store, use it to extract the files you downloaded, you will see the apk and obb folder after extraction. use any file explorer or even the phones own sef to move the folder com.rockstargames.gtavc to obb folder which you can find inside Android folder in your memory card .it will look like this sd/android/obb/com.rockstargames.gtavc if you can't see any obb create one to do so. open your file manager look for where you will see Android, open it again and create new folder name it obb that's all. then install the gta apk and play.note that is version one and it doesn't lag at all.to update to version 3 which had better graphics, just open that folder com.rockstargames.gtavc which is inside obb you will see main.7.com.rockstargames.gtavc rename it to main.11.com.rockstargames.gtavc and install this version 1.03 apk http:///mmstQ9t4 and play. hope this help alot.

I av done it extract d file nd rename to 11 nd downloades d version u said didn't work send me ur number so I can whatsapp u

Believe me, its not asking too much. The thl w100 costs 160 dollars and its quad core o!. The tecno is even priced close to higher powered phones. Imagine the xperia S is now 38k. Just 3k difference. And only a learner wont know thats a very terrific deal for 38k. So tecno can do better with the price really.

WHY I WILL NOT BUY XPERIA S.
1-I want 5 inch screen not 4.3.so i go for F7,
2-Too thick,10.6mm against slim 9.1 F7,
3-No card slot (Bleep up).,i have 16gb memory card on my Phantom,
4-Android 2.3 against 4.1 in F7,
5-Non removable battery (if d battery die, u just have to throw the phone away)
6-Li-Ion 1750 mAh battery, i doubt it will last for 5 hours against Li-Ion 2200 mAh battery of F7 with power bank
In conclusion...if u need high end smartphone, go for the like of htc one,xperia z, galaxy s4 (they are the best 3 smart phone in the world),,..but if u need cheap high end smartphone, go for Techno F7.

Ah well, yet another phone to try and change my mind about the f7. Xperia s, andreno 220, I believe even the n7 is higher. Screen size, I prefer bigger. The only thing the phone has on f7 is the jellybean 4.1.2. (upgrade). The f7 should be able to handle games better.

if I want 32GB I will go for xperia s. Who needs a card slot when there is 32GB memory built in. 2ndly, Sony batteries takes more than 4years to die so, no need to worry about removable battery. Also, xperia s battery last longer compared to tecno f7 battery. Finally, xperia s is a genuine device not an MTK device in which they do some interpolation to boost specs.

You forgot;
7- 1 SIM slot against dual 3.95G switchable 2 SIM slot in F7.
8- Micro SIM against normal mini SIM in F7.
9- HSDPA 14Mbps against HSPA+ 21Mbps+ in F7.
10 - Ugly design against sexy design of F7.
11- Scanty after sales support as against dedicated aftersales support for F7.

All in all I give F7 ★★★★★ rating.

Please remember this is F7 forum, no more derailing, with people who dont know we exist.

@lexrichy: I've seen those wonderful specs of the THL W8+ before but the problem is that the phone does not retail in Nigeria, which means
1. U'll pay extra fee for shipping
2. There'll be no after-sales service and no warranty can be claimed.
