PhonePlanet: Yes. Very overpriced. Though they don't make their phones for folks from struggling economies like Africa. They target mostly wealthy countries who wouldn't feel it buying their overpriced phones. It's like selling a costly product to someone living in Banana Island. You can overprice as you want even if it's not worth it. The man still goes ahead buying because money isn't his problem. |

Phoneplanet, say the truth let devu shame small. Have you used Phantom 6 plus before, or even phantom 6? Even if it is just handling it at tecno retail shops? |

Its not hard to buy a tecno phone in 2016. Wise up |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 6:54pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
MizMyColi: I never said 6+ was overpriced. Never never My argument is s7 is not overpriced and should not be compared to 6+ as its way better than 6+. |

excanny: So they should make substandard phones cos you are poor? |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 7:32pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
MizMyColi: datyorubaboy: Does me using it make it waterproof? Or have a higherscreen resolution? Or blood pressure scanner? Or OIS Or better camera Or curved screen Or longer battery Or wireless charging Or os updates Or better customer support Or better selfie camera Or better android skin Or better optimization Or faster Or use snapdragon Or have fingerprint scanner (phantom 6) ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I never said phantom 6 was a low phone. It might be good enough for its price, but not good enough to be s7. Neither is s7 overpriced. And please do not compare the two |

Lmao. This is comedy. Everything about this thread is wrong in my opinion. OP stating irrelevant facts, so the Mercedes Benz that made the olden Benz 280 and the likes should have stuck to it because of the so called standards? And not create the modern and sophisticated E, S and ML classes? You have to give credit to a company that's evolving and growing. And to say the phantom phones are expensive compared to other phones with almost the same capacities is an insult? Why? Because they are called Tecno? I think that should be the main reason we should applaud them. For persisting and launching world class devices. And oh, seems you have forgotten that the exchange rate is also affecting the prices of items. Credit to Tecno for this. I'm sure more nice and affordable gadgets are coming. 1 Like |

omoalajah:You get it. They broke into the markets with phones made for everyone, affordable for everyone and they didn't stop there. They kept getting better and better. Well, thank God I'm not a fan of names, I'm after what my device can offer me. |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by Behankey(m): 10:16pm On Oct 28, 2016 |
OP is looking at the "Tecno" name without looking at the specifications of these phones. I think only a deluded person will say the exchange rate hasn't affect the prices of things, and mere comparing these phones with other brands shows that its a coup. I guess you haven't experienced either the phantom 6 or 6+, you'll be amazed and possibly create another thread. 1 Like |

scarycuteface:This is exactly my point.. The op doesn't even know what he is saying.. look at the note 7..what's it's story today? The s7 is overpriced if you don't know, the s7 battery is in no way better than the Phantom 6+,I wonder if you have even seen the 6+..s7 battery that was said to last maximum 12hrs on heavy usage, while the Phantom 6 can take you 16-18hrs on same usage.. . Even though the resolution of the s7 is bigger, both phones are still crystal clear and the s7 would consume more battery.. s7 camera might be "slightly" better than the Phantom 6+(thats if it's even better).. All I see is an ignorant fellow who doesn't know what he is saying.. For the op to say "They are so many thing s7 does that even phantom 7 won't do." means his hate has gone beyond human comprehension.. . What if tecno would employ apple to build the Phantom 7 and put the ios 10, iPhone camera, 200gb+ storage on it?? You don't even know how tecno intend to build the Phantom 7 and you are already saying the s7 would be better than it.. your stupidity is beyond my understanding really.. |

I was oppourtuned to handle d tecno phantom 6....and i must confess, tecno really wowed me....my perspective towards tecno has really changed Dat phone is a world class phone, all i can say is if samsung produced such a phone, it would definitely ba sold at 200k and above cos dey sell their brand... Tecno is getting it, i wonder y some pple still criticize dem....i bet if dey handle d phantom 6, their perspective towards tecno would be changed |

excanny:Aside that phantom 6 has dual camera slimmer 5.5 inch 21mp and has 6 cores while 6+ has finger print reader and 10 cores 6 inch and 13mp What else? Dude you're the novice here Did you read the links I sent to you? I guess no! |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 8:47am On Oct 29, 2016 |
scarycuteface: cutiedave: You guys did not read my tread well which is what most other people did. You all just scanned through it and felt I was saying tecno is making stupid phones and overpriced. I never said so! I said even if tecno has now improved they need a better way to get more money and customers for their now "good" products and one of the ways is creating a sub company. Selling their high end phones as premuim under these company. And some idiot started comparing their phones to s7. I laugh Tecno cant be Samsung and would never be Just like phantom 6 would never be s7. That's what I've been saying. I know its had for people to read online with understanding nowadays. I'm cool with that. |

Good thread, but you have your post filled up with either hate for Tecno or you literally write with negativity |

PhonePlanet:And who the hell came up with the theory that tecno cant b compared to samsung...i cant categorically tell you that the diffrences between samsumg s7 and tecno phantom 6+ aint much so it doesent worth the great price differnce... D major reason samsung and iPhones are OVERPRISED is dat dey sell their brands... The amount of cash that goes into the advertisement of these phones are really high, and d only way they get their money is by overpricing their phones (imagine advertising in almost all countries in the world) Sometimes the cost of advertising is even more dan the cost of producing these phones ... So unless you are willing to pay for the brand, i dont see why i cant compare tecno pantom 6+ nd galaxy s7... Bsides this your argument is one-sided, u havent handled the tecno phontom 6, and u just came to an imaginery conclusion that it cant b compared to the samsung s7... Baba go and handle the phone and i promise u comeback here spewing rubbish again (u are judging the phantom 6 based on the tecno brand, thats where u got it wrong) Ogenecaro...i know u very well o grin grin grin |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by Dabsey: 9:19am On Oct 29, 2016 |
But one question; are you aware of the current exchange rates? knowing that this phone isnt manufactured in Nigeria? Anyway sha, you have a point but you're clouding it with Negativiity |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 2:42pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
cutiedave:Lol. It's actually Oghenekaro I have actually handled the phone. Went to slot to check it out. It's actually very nice and I can buy it. But imagine the cost of making Waterproof = 10k Bp scanner = 10k Snapdragon = 20k more than mediatek Wireless charging = 10k Amoled = 20k than LCD Higher screen resolution = 20k than phantom 6 And other miscellaneous cost of building the phone that Tecno exempted = 20k Together that's 110k more than tecno Lets say we add a profit of 20k to existing profit made by tecno That's 130k If we should add 130 to current phantom 6+ 130k that's 260k. And we both know that my price is not actual fact and it might even cost more than what I estimated. now think of it. Is s7 overpriced? I don't think phantom is but if you should add these stuff listed above to a phantom. Then we are looking at 260k for a phantom too. Every company sells brand. It's business and had nothing to do with tech. Even tecno sells brand. The can't sell the same price with wiko even if they release the same exact phone They are levels of companies, Just like they are levels of humans. If you can talk and host a show, does it mean you'll be paid the same amount as they would pay Basketmouth? |

Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by Freelancerx: 6:05pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
I think these phones are good values for their prices. And besides , the exchange rate is a constraint. On a normal day, without poor economy, I think it shouldn't go for the current price. Well, people are using it and they're loving what their Tecno phones are giving them |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by shiftback: 8:10pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
PhonePlanet:Don't you think because its overpriced that's why you dont have one? I'm sure you would love to own one if not for the price abi? |
Re: Why It Maybe Hard To Buy A Tecno Phone At High Cost by PhonePlanet(m): 9:33pm On Oct 29, 2016 |
shiftback: Did you read the second paragraph of my article? I don't own one, but not because its overpriced, But because its expensive! And the phantom 6 is also expensive. Just that s7 is more expensive as its a better phone. |
