Haba?
You wan ask that question?
I don't diss phone brands at all
But go to Ikeja, Tecno has created direct and indirect jobs
Gptech:

Ermm? This line don too plenty, more like copied from the mouths of Nigerian politicians. You hear words like ' this project will create 50, 000 jobs', whereas na only like 1,200 jobs with people being paid #25,000. Now my question is, how many people has Tecno employed and how much are they being paid on the average? undecided

Sometimes u need to slap yourself to wake up from slumber. Our grievience with them is simple.
1) Stop producing craps,
2) Stop lieing.
3) Stop being greedy (we made dem where dey are today)
4) Stop giving out bullshit as customer care.
5) Employ people wey sabi, not all those grammarian
5) Stop cheating Nigerians
All ur assumptions above are nt valid, because Xiaomi does their home work well and thoroughly.
I have no sympathy for any crap company, my life is simple,
I get real value for my money. When u contribute to tecno, what's ur gain? What tangible thing have they done for Nigerians? Tecno and Co that can't operate in developed country and Xiaomi is doing it fine. They are currently the most preferred brand in India despite not being an indigenous company. Do the maths, it seems u get too much to waste and yet u said economy hard. Are u for real?

You need to understand that we have varying expectations from a smartphone.

All your points are valid. Very valid.

Tecno just launched in India.
The specs are waow!
But here in Nigeria, we are given below par stuff. It means they can do better. And I am seriously rooting for them.
I'm behaving like an Arsenal fan Shey?
Upon all the mistakes, they stand. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.

Tecno won with the P6. Economy and the Nigerian factor made it more expensive.

Well, that's btw. I really like their Camon Cx, especially the selfie cam and I plan on doing a device based review soon....

Watch outgrin

First, I don't insult people
Second, we don't do marketing, no one pays us.
Third, Xaiomi don't need you, if you buy or not no problem.
Lastly, we are our brothers' keepers, and so will not advise anyone on something they will regret. Quality speaks for itself.

I said it is a Nigerian problem
You do know that the team for Africa is different for that of Asia, right?

If the people we have assigned to watch the producers of these devices are doing their jobs and not chopping the money they would have used to get us more quality stuff, we would be better for it.

For example, I feel quality oozing out of this Camon CX when I hold it, but I really feel they can do better. I want the best from and for them.

I understand your viewpoint but buying technology devices online is too risky a move.
Why not just buy a phone like tecno where you know that if anything happens, you have an office near you that you can report too.
I wouldn't advice taking a move like that with such hardware


Yes he was right demanding for proofs.

I mean this is someone business and you shouldn't be saying all completely negative about them.

Even in Techno Stores as you recommended, I bought Tech Y6 and within 2 weeks I got issues with it and they couldn't do anything about.

Anything technology is just by luck.

The place you bought the phone doesn't matter.

I have a good experience with Aliexpress all the way.

But thanks a lots for sharing your opinion.

Well, apart from the Camon C7 that had lagging issues. None of their phones has disappointed me....performance wise.

Specs wise, yes. But performance wise, No!

If quality oozes out, the cx design sure has it. Trust me wink

Btw
I thought Xiaomi NEVER has issues. Honestly.
So I did a Google search and this came up.
It's a smartphone after all smiley

For most of you, even if tecno brings quality to your noses, you will still throw up.

Okay, first off. Shouldn't there be proof of some sorts.
That said, I think some people are lucky with good buys from Aliexpress, while others aren't so lucky. But they assure you that if you don't receive your package, you can get your money back.

Personally, I ordered two premium watches (so I'm told). I haven't received them. I also ordered one other watch. It's close to 2 weeks now. More than sef.

Someone narrated his experience of buying an Asus device from there (I think), and he had an issue with it. He tried ordering the parts online and the price was close to what he bought the device for.

There was also an issue of an Elephone that packed up.

I have also read of situations where people neither got their package not their money.
There were also instances of no package, money returned.

So, for me, it's a risk.
But then, what isn't a risk in this life sef.


So u really left politics section just like that?

We miss u there sha

I believe I have something that most of you have a hard time reconciling with.

Honesty in opinion.

Yes, I said it.
Tecno upped their game in India because they are new, so they must win hearts, right?

We too in Naija deserve more at Cheaper cost cos we are loyal.

Well, I don't totally blame them. Naija biz climate is never encouraging.

But I believe they can do better, hence my submission.

I will shoot muself in the foot over and over again if my honest submissions get Tecno to DO Better.

I will, because they are like family to me.
