WHO SAYS ITS SUBSTANDARD?

if you knw about tech...then you wont say this...

you only think its substandard cos the price for techno is lower.


and price is usually influenced by a lot of factors includin duty waivers, contry of manufacture and others.

sucess001: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 VS Tecno Phantom Pad N9




Here's the review of the Tecno Pad N9 VS Samsung Galaxy Tab. Of course, some people say there are no grounds for comparison, while many more say there are. I believe and know these two devices are worthy of comparison because

1.They have the same target market
2.They have similar specifications
What greatly differs is the perception of these two devices by the targeted audience. With her market strategy of making similar or better devices at much lower prices (in some cases, less than half the price), Tecno has succeeded in shaking firmly the perception of Samsung as the leading android device manufacturer, and this is the most prominent example so far.

Having the above specifications at hand to compare, let’s take them one by one in detail and see what’s up.

Features: Many of the features show higher specifications in the Tecno Pad. However, Samsung already has a reputation as an Android heavyweight, Tecno is just building one. The Tecno pad has a slightly larger screen with a higher resolution. Some people say the TFT screen’s technology is inferior to the LCD screen, but TFT is actually a sub-type of LCD display. Tecno Pad also has a higher screen resolution, and I expect nothing less, due to its bigger size. One up for Tecno Pad there.

The Tecno Pad’s CU is clocked higher @ 1.2 GHz. What remains to be seen if it will be continually up to the multitasking capabilities of the Jelly Bean OS. Samsung’s processor already has the advantage of first impact, it holds up quite well to multi-tasking without any serious lapses. Also, the Tecno Pad’s specs simply say its GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is embedded, whatever that means. The bone of contention here is: does it in fact have a GPU? I think we should call this a draw.

Dimension: Here, Tecno beats the Galaxy tab by a fraction- it is thinner by 6mm. Of course, it is wider and longer; after all, it does have an 8.0 inch screen

Memory: The Galaxy Tab and the Pad both boast 1 GB RAM. User memory is variable on the Samsung Tab @ 8Gb, 16GB and 32 GB. Both are expandable up to 32 GB via microSD, so the Samsung Tab can actually sport more memory. One up for the Galaxy Tab.

Camera: Tecno Pad’s 5.0 primary camera and 2.0 secondary camera versus the Tab’s 3.15 MP primary and VGA secondary cameras...it’s pretty easy maths. It beats me why the Galaxy Tab should have such a shoddy camera (yes, it is shoddy), it’s one of the reasons I have never been comfortable with it. If you will make the effort to lug around a 7 inch device, it should at least have a good camera, if nothing else. One up for the Tecno Pad.

Battery: The Tecno has a bigger capacity battery, by 500 mAh. That was not a chance occurrence. Tecno set out to consistently overshadow the Galaxy Tab in raw specs, and we hope, in performance. Again, whether this spec-stunt will meet up to the Galaxy Tab’s proven reliability is yet to be seen. I hope it does. For the sake of figures, Tecno Pad wins this.

Other Features: The Galaxy Tab still supports far more a media formats than the Tecno Pad. Tecno knows the unsupported media formats can still be enjoyed using lots of free available apps, hence the skipping of manufacturer-installed software for those media. CHEAP! Galaxy Tab wins this. However, I am beginning to suspect this won’t make much of a difference in the overall review. Why? Pretty obvious reason....below:

Price: Here’s the main thrust of Tecno’s market strategy. In an environment where devices are tied to carrier plans, consumers can get the devices a lot cheaper, from free to a fraction of the price of an unlocked device, for a 2-year carrier plan. Not so in Nigeria. You must shell out the full cost of Android or iOS indulgence, as the case may be. This is the cause of the proliferation of ‘UK used’ and ‘US used’ phones in our domain today. So, when a manufacturer offers a device with the same specifications as the Samsung Galaxy Pad at N35,000 - a little over $230 – the market is bound to notice, and NOTICE we did!

While pro-Samsung users sing about Samsung’s tech savvy and innovation, the majority are considering the Tecno Pad for more down-to-earth reasons: affordability, availability, aesthetics and desirability -in looks, the Tecno Pad beats the Galaxy Tab hands down, another UP for Tecno- and the majority always carries the vote. The majority is not trying to get the fastest device or the device with the highest memory capacity, a device with above average functionality satisfies the majority, and the Tecno Pad offers EVEN MORE than above average functionality, at a BELOW AVERAGE price.

I say the Tecno Pad wins. What say ye?


you had to copy and paste such a lengthy article because of Tecno? lool you people rock

naturalwaves:
Your argument is weak and baseless and I wonder the type of dummies that liked it. Get your facts right okay? Tecno cannot be branded by Htc and co cos it is relatively new. When Nokia , Samsung and co did that, Tecno was not in the market. Tecno is just starting off and so far so good, they are getting there. With the way they are going, it is only a matter of time before they outwit those they met. I remeber vividly in 05 when I told a friend that Messi is capable of being the world best. Just like you, he told me stories of how he is new in the game , what will happen to the grandmasters he met in the gamebla bla bla only for him to eat his words just two years after. You see, Tecno is just hitting the market and they are doing fine.
The fact that they got cheaper devices is not enough reason to disrespect them. In those MTN days, when sim cards cost 30,000 naira and you will be cut off if you don't even load up to 1,500 every two weeks and we were given the booboo that calls can't be charged per seconds. If you use. A second, you will be charged a minute pay and so on. By the time competition came, they ended all those policies.The point I am trying to make is that, Tecno is only trying to break into the market like the way Glo did with the pricing policies and YES!, expect a price slash on Samsung devices in the future.

Moreover, when it comes to IT knowledge and technology generally, China is far far better and is no match for Korea or South Korea( makers of Samsung), the only disadvantage is that they just had their eyes set on Android devices only recently. By the time they settle down to develop innovations, all other Asian countries will queue up behind them.



You are not making any sense at all,, tecno is not new,, my mum had tecno chinko fone that has tv and antenna last four years before they started incorporating andriod os into their devices,,, d fone just died just like that, because it can't be flashed or repaired like other good phones
The problem with tecno is that they started with rubish phones that were banned in western countries,, phones that emits unhealthy radio frequency and all that, check out zte and huawei devices, these devices are from china too, and they are generally accepted in the western world,, so what are you saying

And for you to say that my argument is baseless,, is it that you don't understand english properly or what ? I said the bottom line is NEVER COMPARE TECNO TO SAMSUNG,, that's my baseline or , u no see where I post am ?

Warren Buffet also warned to desist from buying overpriced badges too.
It's all about Happiness, if i can drive Cheap Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Kia or Hyundai and be happy, Bleep Benz's, RR, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ford or whatever! so also to cheap TECNO products.

Brilliant! Your analysis is nearly impeccable. These are the kind of analysis we need on this type of forum not those types that sound like something from someone that has never crossed the four walls of a school.I ain't saying this cos it favours Tecno overall but because it is unbiased and clear for all to see.

Be stroking your weak ego with your specs lool

you dont get the point do u?


the specifications show two type of fones. it also shows techo's is better.

i understand you want to feel justified for buying a more expensive yet less qualkity product by samsung...but it doesnt show common sence...no insult meant.


its just like buying a stove... stove a cooks faster than stove b....yet stove b is more expensive...then u buy stove b cos its by a more popular brand....bro...dts stupidity!

i once went to get a tv...i saw sansung and i saw hyundai...d samsung was going for 300k and d hyndai version which was clearer and way more sharper 150k...i bought the hyundai...


and today i dont regret it...my oga @ wrk who previously used samsung has asked me to help him get d hundai...


the big branded companies are gettiong money from u for producvts not necesarily more qualitative but cos they know they have a name...

its left for you to use your brains...


unfortunately most nigerians would prefer to revel in self agradisement of buying sometin more expensive...

does that make you feel superior or stupid?

kalufelix: enlighten them brother... na black mentality dey worry them

No, he is not enlightening anyone, rather he should enlighten himself. Whether Samsung or Apple or Nokia, it doesn't matter, because most of these phones are assembled in China, India etc. There is a marked quality difference between Tecno and Samsung. Besides, Samsung got a name, and that for a reason. Tecno is cheap because they actually use cheaper parts. You just can't compare a Samsung to a Tecno. The difference is verrrrry CLEAR.

You are not making any sense at all,, tecno is not new,, my mum had tecno chinko fone that has tv and antenna last four years before they started incorporating andriod os into their devices,,, d fone just died just like that, because it can't be flashed or repaired like other good phones

And you are not wise enough to say that my argument is baseless, is it that you don't understand english properly or what ? I said the bottom line is NEVER COMPARE TECNO TO SAMSUNG,, that's my baseline or , u no see where I post am ?
Now, you are sounding more suppy. Your mum had a Tecno phone about 4 years ago. Did Tecno mobile device and Samsung hit the market at the same time? Answer that objectively. Well, the first time I saw a Samsung mobile device in Nigeria was about 13 years ago( year 2000) which means they have started productions long before then so, they didn't hit the market at the same time and same goes for the Android market.

Moreover , if a Tecno device can never be compared to any Samsung device, why was this thread opened? Go read the topic again.......WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A SAMSUNG DEVICE INSTEAD OF A TECNO grin. The post stinks of insecurity and fear. If you think they can't be compared, why not shu.t up and use your Samsung devices and let those with Tecno use theirs. Why open a thread for it?

Brilliant! Your analysis is nearly impeccable. These are the kind of analysis we need on this type of forum not those types that sound like something from someone that has never crossed the four walls of a school.I ain't saying this cos it favours Tecno overall but because it is unbiased and clear for all to see.

Techno may beat Samsung on paper by comparing these specifications. However, if you have worked with the OMAP and MTK chip side by side as daily drive, then you will understand. Try to work with the Samsung and Techno products for a month, and come back with a honest feedback. You will be surprised how inferior that Tecno really is. There is a reason why Samsung is a global player, and Tecno is (still) a local gamer.

Only in Nigeria! Fake Shoes, fake belts, fake jeans, fake tops, fake sunshades, THEY KNOW WE LOVE FAKE THINGS! thats y tecno can thrive here. Dont you watch international movies? have you ever seen a tecno phone in a movie or music video? you morons want more proof that there's a reason tecno is waves in Nigeria? itd because they know we settle for whatever here. Even in Ghana u can't see tecno like the way some of these our ignorant brothers carry it on their head here.

China has a bigger Market and Economy than Korea (South), but the Korean economy is more developed and advanced than Chinas. The Chinese have however really caught up, but they are not yet as wealthy as Koreans on a per head basis.
