I use tecno f7, overall its a very good phone. The only letdown is the battery.

My advice: Ensure that you locate tecno office and buy directly from them. I have a feeling that something fishy is going on with the marketers of the phone and the substandard battery people are complaining about, they might be getting it cheaper from another source who has to compromise on the battery

For your info:Tecno doesnt sell to an end user besides who produce those 'CHEAP ONES' you claimed the marketer buys from?Lets be careful about our comment,nobody produces batteries outside Tecno and if you have issues with yours,I advice you visit carl care.thanks

Proffdada:
Actually that's seems to be the problem with the phone,at first it'll display 100% but give it 5 min on standby it'll drains on it own back to 20%

I stand to be corrected but I disagree with you totally sir.

I didn't want to reply this, but here.

I guess you skipped some pages. Kindly go back and read them. What's the essence of over-flogging an issue with solutions?

I market, so does Elijah and if it's sealed when you bought it, what's the problem all about? There's Carl Care. Go there and resolve it if you can't follow simple instructions already laid down here. If Nairaland hasn't proved to be a Tecno battery solution hub, go to Tecno Fan Page on Facebook and spill it there.

It's only a marketer, a hit and run marketer that will sell fake products.

And before I forget, it's good to think before you type.

Thanks.

I own the phone, it's definitely not an electric iron. The battery just drain fast. Stop badmouthing this wonderful machine.

Don't refer me to Google. Say it if you know. Google doesn’t use phones. It's people.

Have you used thl w100 or seen anyone use it and they said the battery last longer than f7?

I went to their Carl care, I even wanted to buy a new battery from them but they said they don't have a new battery for f7. That's frustrating.

Dark Lover: I finna get this mobile for my baby sis for her birthday, but the battery issue has done rule that out, i'll get better mobile for her with durable battery and features. All of em this Chinese keep bringing in substandard products to Africa and we're happily accepting all. All mobile devices coming to Africa suppose to come with good battery because of Africa low energy/power production and output.
not buying this fone because a few pple claim their batteries are bad and ignoring the other comments about an above par battery life is not exactly objective. Truth is bad news spread faster! Same with every phone on big named flagships on gsmarena

Surprisingly, FIFA 12 looks bad on dis fone but plays well on TN3.

funny how every Tom, Dick and Harry comes on here to rubbish a phone they don't own. Its even those who can't afford the phone that have more to say about it, just by reading comments of people who claim their phones get hot bla bla bla..

FYI, i've been using this phone for close to 1month, and i've never had to complain for any reason whatsoever, the battery suits me in all ways..I happen to be a data intensive user, downloading atleast 1Gig of files daily and a heavy user of google and other search engines aswell. my 100% charged battery has never spent <6hours, even with intensive use, and my powerbank is always there to fully charge the phone for another bout of 6hour usage. In all, my phone lasts the whole day without stress even on heavy usage.

That said, in manufacturing processes..there's room for factory errors and hence, when such occur, take the product back and have it fixed or changed, since there's still you still have your warrantee.

PEOPLE SHOULD STOP ALL THE BASHING AND CALLING OF NAMES, it really goes a long way to show how matured they are! And to those calling the marketers names, you people should take it easy..the fault is not from them afterall, I got mine from Elijah and i've been flexing it since then. Follow the screen brightness reduction, etc tips and enjoy your device. Thanks!

What is all this poo about the bat3? Does samsung galaxy s4 last a whole day with heavy use? Bashing a phone because you don't know how to use it or probably don't have it is immature. F7 is awesome. Granted its an old chip but please don't call it substandard. The bat3 is up to par and lasts longer dan every phone with its exact specs. Consider d fact that u r running a hd screen... D phone try abeg. And for those calling it a hot plate. You are simply just ignorant.
Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by Nobody: 10:10am On Jun 22, 2013
Bought the f7 on Tuesday, my first android phone coming from a curve 4 I would say the battery life is very Good. You virtually carrying a computer in your pocket so why do you expect the battery to last for a week.
Even Nokia lumia battery is the worst. The only thing I noticed is that it takes longer to charge the battery to hundred % and I'm sure that's because I'm not used to this f7 yet.
I Thank God that I no longer have to live in fear of my battery dying on the road . To be objective use the battery saving tips and check out the results. The f7 isn't perfect but I'm enjoying it.

Peroluv: pls don't buy f7 until dey fix d display drivers on fifa, on d hotness. on d poor b3. am a strong tecno fan. just telling u d truth
hello nairalanders, am so suprised at the way some people are condemning this phone. i bought mine since june 6 and since then till now i've not had an issue with it. my battery is ok, it doesn't heat up, it runs without lag when am playing NFS MW, PES 2012, ASphalt 6&7, etc. above all it is on 3g netwk. also use greenify software to hidernate some background apps grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
my advice for you that review phones that they don't have is to shut up till u get one. am not a marketer but i work at G-Smart connect communications illorin. if you are in kwara state you can can and see for ur self. TECNO has opened our eyes, believe it or not
