excanny: So you really feel camera on both devices is based on high megapixel numbers? i hear you bro... The Google Pixel has got the same 12 MP but it has been crowned the best camera on a smartphone by DXOmark.. Do you think it is by large megapixel numbers? Bros, no offence, but you have no idea what you are saying, sincerely. 2 Likes |

excanny:Loool. Father forgive them for they don't know what they're saying.. Where did you get your info that SD 820 overheats? If you don't know, MTK chips are the Kings of overheating.. You actually mean 21MP on 6+ would beat the 12MP on S7? This shows you're one of the ignorant people walking about with the thought that large camera MP depicts better picture quality.. Keep wallowing in your ignorance bro, and please don't quote me anymore cause it seems replying you is a waste of time and energy 2 Likes |

dasphinx1: It's obvious you don't even know much about photography so I won't bother arguing with you. Yes. bigger megapixels mean better lenses, better image processing, etc. And when you do large images and a lot of cropping, the bigger MP comes to your rescue. I bet you didn't know all that. You think it's just mere numbers. |

Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by dasphinx1(m): 8:39am On Oct 28, 2016 |
excanny: Then why are manufacturers dropping the bigger megapixels, ehn? Why are dey not going the high number route? Atleast Samsung should have gone up to 40 MPs by now, if they where into those numbers..... Maybe you are not seeing the bigger picture here, bigger numbers dont cut it anymore. What really matters is what the camera module actually contains(OIS, aperture size, the size of the lens, sotware optimization) And bro, i do know about photography especially mobile photography (its a hobby for me) so, i understand every single word you just said. |

augster: MEDIATEK SAYS THE NEW HELIO X20 DECA-CORE CHIP IS TOO CLEVER TO OVERHEAT http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/mediatek-helio-x20-overheating-news/ As for the MP stuff, it's obvious you need a crash course in digital photography. Yes. A 21MP camera will beat a 12 MP when you do lots of large image printing and you need to crop your pictures for your work. You need to pay me dude for my photography lessons. |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by excanny: 8:50am On Oct 28, 2016 |
dasphinx1: Ok. When all you do is mobile photography. I can see why you don't see any difference between a 21MP and a 12MP. 21MP has it's use and those who know it's worth and place go for it to get things done. |

excanny: You are begining to degenerate this into something you aint game for..... Any ways, read again, i said i know about photography, especially mobile photography. That means that i am more interested in mobile photography( afterall, mobile phones fall into this category, in this case, Phantom 6/6+ and Galaxy S7/edge, which is the basis of this discussion). This does not eliminate the fact that i know what photography is about. Have a great day bro, ive got work to do ✌ |

PhonePlanet: Really?! Really?! At 314k you think S7 edge isn't over priced? Dude, I give up on you mehn. What Tecno is suffering from is Sins of the past. This has led people to have negative perception of the brand and now, because they see Tecno doing its best to up their game, they begin to make unrealistic, hostile demands....thankfully, they are trying to meet up. If the Naira was still 216 to a dollar, I would fault them for selling the phantom 6 plus for an exorbitant amount. But this is 2016 and the Naira now costs 460 to a dollar. What were you expecting? That the phantom series would sell for less? I bought a 3 by 6 eight inches Semi-Orthopedic bed early last year for 20k Few weeks ago, it is now valued at about 45k. I also just heard from their major distributor that price has added again. My point is this, when you guys criticise, do so with some conscience and empathy. The world would be a better place if we all did. 1 Like |

I think we should just take a similarly priced Samsung and Tecno and see how they come up against each other, only then can we get a better idea why Tecno is always value for money. |

MizMyColi: Madam, that , is what happens when you live in a consumption based country like ours. Atleast, i am opportuned to have worked at Vitafoam Nigeria Plc. One thing i know, of a fact is that, the raw materials used in making those mattresses are imported. Now, with the issue of forex accessibility and exchange rate, it is becoming hard for Vitafoam to meet up with demand. Tecno, which is being hyped today, is still owned by the Chinese. We dont export anything, we only consume and consume... On a side note, my prayers is that Innoson would become a global brand from Nigeria. |

Nice write up. I will start from the background side. If you want to crucify because of background, then the likes of Bill Gates shouldn't be respected world over. He should simply be looked at as "the college dropout". Similarly, the likes of Obama, shouldn't have ventured into politics, let alone become the US president (nay, world president). He should simply have looked inferior since he wasn't born in continental US (he is the first US president to be born outside the US). Now coming to TECNO, I wouldn't blame them for coming into the market the way the did. They recognised a problem and proffer a good solution. Now since Technology is evolving, it behoves on them also to evolve, ofcourse u don't expect a baby to still be crawling after coming of age. Making high end phones at the price they have is simply to me, a message that we don't have to break the bank to get phones that suit our lifestyle. I didn't like them too before, but I have come to respect them for growing quickly in such a short time. I don't like comparing phones, but the specifications of their latest phones are simply amazing and going up for that cost is a big bargain, not forgetting the rate at which dollar is up there against naira. Even at that, they broke the record of pre-order. It wouldn't have been like that if they are that bad. So to me, we are not just giving them the kudos they deserve in that they are trying to give us premium/high end devices at affordable costs. 2 Likes 1 Share |

benzics: Why the name calling ? Are you so pained? lol .... Gr5 still beats the phantom .... ... Very funny comparing S7 and Phantom 6 I won't join issues with you, all I see is that you just a Tecno fan boy.. I know your type...... You know nothing about optimization, when you see more megapixel, Ram or Battery size you go gaga... I do recommend Tecno for people on low budget, so I am not being biased .. I only criticize when needed I am a Sony fan but that doesn't make me a blind one.. |

benzics: excanny: Numbers numbers numbers All you count is numbers. If numbers tell it all, they, Won't be need for reviews, tests and comparisms. Numbers is not everything How it works real life is what matters. People like you would also say s7 and phantom 6+ have equally sharp display if they have the same resolution forgetting that phantom 6+ screen is bigger meaning less ppi. But now 6+ even has less resolution. Thats 1 over how many things to consider in a phone. Please stop counting numbers. See someone talking about mega pixels, if its just numbers then Lumia 1020 suppose to be the best camera phone in the world And phantom 6 plus 6+ camera together is not better than even galaxy s6 camera. |

PhonePlanet: So obvious that dude is doesn't know jack what he's talking. Battery size is battery size anywhere anytime. It's like the difference between mass and weight. Battery capacity is your mass, never changing always constant. What makes the difference is where you use it. Yes. When you couple it with an energy-wasting processor like the Snapdragon 820 found on Samsungs, then a large battery capacity mean nothing because the processor is not energy-effecient and easily runs it down. On the other hand, MTK Helio X20 is a deca-core processor and is known to have 30% battery saving ability. Go figure. |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 11:55am On Oct 28, 2016 |
MizMyColi: Still considering naira at that exchange rate, how much is Samsung phones suppose to cost? Remember that if $1 = N500 $2 = N1000 $10 = N5000 You know what that means? The more expensive the product, the exchange rate doubles. So if s7 cost almost tripple of phantom 6 outside the country the difference might not be much. Think about it |

PhonePlanet: You keep going round and round in circles. What's your point really? Are you implying the the Tecno phantom 6+ is more expensive than Samsung Galaxy s7 edge outside the country? Haha. You really amuse me the crap out of me, dude. Give us their respective cost in dollars, let's leave the underperforming Naira out of this |

Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by Nobody: 1:15pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
FrozeBABE: Infact, it beats me when I see this kind of criticism on the brand. Ofcourse there should be constructive criticism but saying it is overpriced is so unfair. Assuming it so is, then it couldn't have broken a pre order record which it did. |

excanny: Please read with understanding! I said if tecno cos $1 in Nigeria. That's N500 and Sammy cost $2 that's N1000, the diff btw N500 and N1000 is not as much as $1 and $2 By the way. Tecno phantom 6+ cost $272 while Samsung galaxy s7 edge cost $500 You see in dollars s7 is not overpriced for an actually way better phone than phantom 6+ If naira was N150 to a dollar S7 edge would be 75k and phantom 6+ 40,800. And we know that the year of phantom z when tecno costed about 40k with their rubbish, Samsung was over 100k. So if we should reduce the price of Samsung to 75k, is tecno not suppose to be way less than 40k? The truth is if tecno should build a galaxy s7 it would cost more than Samsung's sells thiers Do you still think s7 is overpriced? |

MizMyColi: Calm down and open your mind to learn and drop all sentiments. They are so many thing s7 does that even phantom 7 won't do. So there is no point saying its over priced. And no point comparing the two. If you really want to prove your point, bring out a phone with equal specs as the phantom 6 |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by MizMyColi(f): 2:02pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
PhonePlanet: All this way better and far better you are screaming. Samsung is 500 dollars. That one is the original dollar value. I take it's lost on you that Tecno will first decide how much they want to sell in Naira being that Nigeria is their major market before converting it to dollars. I do that when writing invoice. The rate of the Naira to dollar is what determines how much I will peg my dollar price at. |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by MizMyColi(f): 2:09pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
PhonePlanet:You stop being sentimental and stereotypically parochial. S7 is not overpriced at over 300k But P6 plus is overpriced at 130k because it is Tecno. If there wasn't an expose on what it actually costs to build iphone7 in comparison to its retail cost, you will still come here and claim it is not over priced, why? Because it is iPhone and the other? Well, it's s Tecno!! It must pack many cute features and still sell cheaper than Akara. |
