Kaycee7: A beg no yab. How do you do a benchmark?
just go to playstore or google search for the latest version of ANTUTU BENCHMARK download it,install it,after that click on test score,wait for some minute for it to do dat, after dat u can easily check gpu,cpu,RAM,internal memory,compare the phone and all dat e.t.c (u will need internet to perform some of the task) u will do me a favor by uploading the screenshot where the gpu is written on it (maybe it PowerVR,Mali,Adreno followed by d model number)

no I have not, but I have seen screen shots of the bench mark result. would have loved to run it for you but I don't have enough data, the Mali 400 is embedded in the CPU MT6572E.

Kaycee7: REVIEW
Design
The Tecno M3 is a nice & sleek phone with a good feel. It has the usual 3 real buttons & 3 virtual buttons. The difference with M3's virtual buttons is that the options & return keys have switched positions with the options key on the right & the return key on the left.
The display is splendid. Crispy clear with sharp graphics.

Camera
The camera is indeed 5mp but the flash ain't LED unfortunately. It tries but it could have done better. The camera makes up for this by taking neat and clear pics in bright environments. So the pic quality is satisfactory in daytime.

Apps
The phone comes preloaded with a lot. Facebook, Whats app, Opera, UcBrowser to name a few. Also there's a folder tagged Assistant that contains uninstalled files lyk Instagram, Battery saver, Google plus, Angry Birds & other stuff.

Connectivity
The M3 has WiFi & 3.75G. I haven't had the chance to check out the WiFi yet. The 3.75G is WOW. Loads a 100+kB page @ 7 secs, downloads a 15mb file in 2mins. Its wonderful.

Battery
While the 1400mAh of the M3 is no match for L3's 2400mAh, it tries a lot. lasts 6.5 hours under heavy usage & 8.5 hours under mild usage. Still think it should last longer with the dual core though.

Conclusion
The Tecno M3 is one of few Tecno phones that can be said to have it all. Delivering a lot for little seems 2 be Tecno's motto & days y we love them. If you want the best of low budget Tecno, then go 4 Tecno M3.
brother any thing about GPS and A-GPS may be it present on the device

Bro u shud hav known tecno with the habit of giving out wrong specs,the Chipset of this phone can never be MT6572E because dat Chipset supports only edge network,I shud hav called it MT6572 which i found out dat it supports both edge and 3G coupled wit Mali 400 and 1.2ghz dual core cpu underclocked to 1ghz,bt from the benchmark pasted by a guy here i saw its cpu to be dual core MT6589 which is similar to quad core 1.2ghz MT6589 which comes wit powerVR SGX544MP GPU.Also remember dat tecno erroneously stated the chipset of phantom A plus to be MT6577 which is a dual core cpu which they hv called a quad core bt running a benchmark on it,it result is dat its chipset is MT6589 Which is actually quad core, try to run a benchmark on urs so that we wud clear all dis doubt,also remember dat am not trying to say u are totally wrong

Re: TECNO M3 - Discussion Thread by ediddem(m): 5:38pm On Aug 12, 2013
Tecno should have launched this phone first instead of N3, to me, they have tried even though the benchmark test reveals some lies in their ranking.

no, infact I downloaded a new yahoo messenger as the one on the assistant app store keeps saying "unfortunately messenger has stopped" the new one solved that issue but is like yahoo are having issues because I can't login via messenger or via opera mini.
