Tecno Phones No Longer For The Poor by Orikinla(m): 5:26pm On May 24, 2016
About two years ago, I recommended Tecno phones as the most affordable phones for the poor masses, because with as little as N3000 you can buy the cheapest Tecno feature phone in the market. And Tecno phones were common among secondary school pupils. But many secondary school pupils in Nigeria now want smart phones with touchscreen. And I don't know if Tecno has any smart phone for N10, 000.

The most popular Tecno android smart phones among students in Nigeria are Tecno Phantom, Tecno Boom, Tecno Camon and Tecno L8.. And they are not cheap. Each one is more than the minimum wage in Nigeria.

. Any Tecno smart phone for N10K?
Re: Tecno Phones No Longer For The Poor by Whizpeter(m): 6:07pm On May 24, 2016
Tecno as a brand have increased in value.. Secondly we shouldn't ignore the fact that the fall in Naira is the reason why phones are expensive now...
The tecno L5/W4 /J5 are phones that tecno could ordinarily have sold for 14-17k if things were stable with our currency...!
I don't blame them totally...

There was also a time when Samsung had phones for both the rich and the poor, but now their value went up and they started doing premium... Did you criticize them?

I also remember that gionee and infinix also joined tecno in producing cheaper android phones 4 years ago...
Infinix note 3 is about 80k now on Jumia [Not sure tho] and nobody knows how much gionee m6 would be sold.. Probably over a 100k cos it's a beast!



What's my point? Every business starts small but they won't ever remain small!

Re: Tecno Phones No Longer For The Poor by Cliveglobal1(m): 8:14pm On May 24, 2016
The exchange rate is Crazy but tecno still manages to Doll out high end phones for affordable prices. Check out the New Tecno W4, The phone cost just 22k with a android marshmallow and other Great Features. These are signs to Show you that the Phone Company Means Business. They should be Commended!!!

Are you Tecno's spokesperson?
iTel phones are selling more to low income earners in Nigeria and the cheapest iTel phone offers more than the cheapest Tecno phone.
The FM radio of iTel is better with good audio and video for less than N5K.
