Xiaomi Mi4 Or Tecno Phantom 5, Choose One by bongolistik(m): 11:59am On Nov 16, 2015
It is no longer news that Xiaomi finally made its way into the Nigerian market and currently Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Xiaomi Mi4 are selling on Jumia.

Picking out the Xiaomi Mi 4 which is selling for N56,000 and looking towards the direction of the latest Tecno Phantom 5 that is selling for N70,000 which of the devices will you prefer?

Yes we are fully away that Xiaomi Mi 4 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon device while Tecno Phantom 5 on the other hand is MTK.

Considering the high end and premium specs that both devices are packed with, we can assure you that aside from their display sizes and processor type, they share many features in common that are within similar range.

Though the Xiaomi Mi 4 variant that is selling for that amount is that with the 16GB ROM, not forgetting that the 64GB variant will cost higher and you know that the Phantom 5 came with fixed 32GB ROM and both do not support expandable microSD slot

Which of the device will you go for?

I compare mtk processors to Asian made motor engines; low fuel consumption, moderate performance, cheap, etc. whereas Qualcomm snapdragons are European made motor engines high performance, high fuel consumption, expensive, etc .


MTK: Hyundai motors, Jin bei, etc

Snapdragon: Mercedes Benz(Snapdragon 810/820: Mercedes AMG), Volkswagen, etc

Huge developer support for custom roms on the mi4, for custom Rom freaks.

I'll be glad if you back up your claim with facts.
It will never cause you anything to call a spade a spade.

Quality and Standard wise: XIAOMI has passed Nigerian standard, XIAOMI is internatinal standard certified.

XIAOMI is manufactured by foxconn who manufacture Tecno?

Xiaomi MI 4 screen is made by sharp who made Tecno Ph5 screen?

XIAOMI Mi 4 Camera lens is made by Sony who made Tecno Ph5?

Before XIAOMI Mi 4 was released it passess some standard certification, who certified Tecno Ph5?

You think its just by gathering cheap chinese parts and put them together by one God knows cheap anonymous company and high the price will make your phone standard? NO

Even though I don't like other chipset apart from MTK (because others are too expensive to maintain nd thats why I will not buy XIAOMI MI 4). But all things being equal, on a normal ground, no glo IMEI tweaking, I choose Mi 4 over any Tecno that is produced as at today
