I know many people reading this will argue but the fact is that virtually all phones bearing Infinix or iTel as its name are managed by Tecno mobile. So the guys in charge at Tecno mobile are not really concerned what you think about them like many customers persisting they won't buy the new Flagship Phantom 5 because of the outrageous price. The reality is that even the Infinix smartphones that is highly rated by phone users of recent is also managed by Tecno. Checkout the an excerpt from an article written March 4, 2013 by Mr Mobility of Mobilityarena "...Tecno and Carlware make up a conglomerate mobile brand called Infinix. The Infinix brand produces and sells self-branded android smartphones…" Wait, there are other proves like this other excerpt from an article Sept 15, 2015 by same author … Whether you buy a TECNO phone or an Infinix phone, your cash ends up in the same coffers. In other words, they are siblings. TECNO and Infinix have the same parent company. The strategy at work is that Infinix addresses the budget end of the smartphone market (the bottom of the pyramid), while TECNO makes a pitch for the high end. TECNO and Infinix are not competitors. They are two sides of a coin targeting two different segments. Another excerpt from an article written Nov 2014 by Seyi Albert of Thebleet … It paid off for Tecno and more opportunities were even spotted. Soon, there was speculation that Tecno had acquired a part of Mobiwire, a company that is an offshoot of Sagetel (Sagem Mobile’s Manufacturing plant). The company is today called Infinix Mobility, and the goal was simple. Tecno was to service from Lower end up, while Infinix did Mid range down, taking up two disparate markets. The Infinix name is in fact axiomatic to be more high end. If you had checked TecnoTelecom.com before it was redirected to Tecno-Mobile.com, you’d have noticed a portfolio widget by the footer that included Infinix as one of the brands owned by Tecno. So it is like the Toyota-Lexus/Honda-Acura/ Nissan-Infiniti plot. The later is the high end or luxury version of the former. So why are we still complaining about Tecno when they are applying a secret strategy that many customers are not aware of. This means that your Infinix Hot Note, Hot Note Pro, Infinix Hot 2 and many others including itel devices are managed and controlled by the Tecno we rain abuse on. Now that you know that Infinix and itel devices are from Tecno mobile, will you also continue devaluing your awesome hot note pro? Credit to Mobilityarena and thebleet for the excerpt

I think the Op should be banned for just 3months for giving false information.

Yes I know... and I love that strategy

Are you very sure?

Are you very very sure?

Are you quite sure

Did u research or u concluded?

One thing is clear sha

The people running Infinix are much more competent and smarter than those running Tecno.

Maybe they are under the same umbrella company, but the way they are run is distinct.

Not surprising since Infinix has its roots in Sagem


As for Itel, that one is likely to be untrue seeing that Itel has been around for as long as tecno have been, making rubbish dumb phones. Unless u are telling us Tecno bought Itel over recently

Only your information don fill the whole thread

Big fact lie.

are u an infinix loyalist

drss:

are u an infinix loyalist

Nah

Not exactly, OP. But they are under one corporation. Your post is not completely far from the truth.

Op's right. Full story and facts AND research on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/2636952/did-know-tecno-infinix-itel

To be more correct, TECNO Mobile DOES NOT own Infinix. Transsion Holdings Ltd, formerly known as TECNO Telecom, owns TECNO Mobile, Infinix, itel and CarlCare.

OP na true you talk
No b only infinix nd itel Tecno own, dem also own Apple and Samsung. Mtcheeew...

Dude calm down, OP is actually right and if not that I'm quite fatigued to start typing long stuff now I'd have try throw more light on the issue but I'd say give it a search on Google.

I googled this immediately I saw that my infinix hot 2 is running on tecno software "SW" (don't really know what It mean).
I found this out when I was trying to boot to recovery mode. I was taught the business strategy by my economics teacher. its simply a brand diversion strategy.

Made some research. They (infinix, tecno, itel, carlcare, iflux) are all owned by the same company. TRANSITION HOLDINGS. Visit http://transition.com for more

They all make useless phones

This is not true. I googled tecno's history and saw that there was a year tecno bought itel. Tecno openly said it but if u are saying they own infinix y didn't tecno say d same, they agreed that dey own itel y cant dey say d same with. If they are d same company y is it that infinix sells their phones in China,Indonesia,Philippines etc and not only Africa and tecno's only in Africa. Plus infinix produce greater phones than tecno if not that all were released in Nigeria. Check for hot 2 LTE, Zero 2 LTE a 3gb ram device, hot 3 LTE with snapdragon chipset and other ones. Tecno phones are not like that. Tecno and infinix are not the same company but it is possible they are under a parent company.

No, Tecno never own infinix, but the parent company of tecno, Transsion holdings (the company that owns Tecno Mobile) owns Infinix and Itel also. It just that the three, Tecno, Infinix and itel operate independently.

you can google "Transsion holdings" and read about them
